Abstract
Objects & Methods : We examined 17 patients suffering from peptic ulcers. We confirmed H. p. infection by culturing, microscopy and urease testing. 1) We graduated the degree of the inflammatory change and atrophic change of the gastric mucosa from the endoscopic findings. 2) We examined gastric mucosal flakes under microscopy, scoring the atrophic changes and inflammatory change, from biopsies at Sano's 4 points.
Results : 1) The degree of the inflammatory change of the gastric mucosa decreased after the treatment of H. p. infection from the endoscopic findings and the pathological view points. 2) The degree of the atrophic change of the gastric mucosa didn't change after the treatment from the endoscopic findings. 3) But the degree decreased from the pathological view points at the anal side of the stomach.
Discussion and Conclusion : We could evaluate the gastric mucosal inflammatory change from the endoscopic findings and the pathological view points. But we could evaluate the gastric mucosal atrophic change only from the pathological view points.
