title: [The stereologic-quantitative analysis of gastric antrum G cells in patients with splenic diseases].
abstract: In this paper, 89 Spleen deficiency (SD) patients' gastric mucosa specimens obtained during fibrogastroscopy mucosal biopsy were observed with immunocytochemical-stereologic-quantitative analysis method. The number of G cells counted and the content of basic gastrin in serum measured. This study found that the difference of the number of G cells and the content of gastrin in serum possessed statistical significance between two types of SD. The results suggested the hyperplasia and hypersecretion of G cells in gastric antrum might be an important pathological mechanism for different types of SD.
