[Changes in microstructure and ultrastructure between differentiation of cold and heat syndrome in chronic atrophied gastritis and exfoliative cells].
In this paper, exfoliative cells of fur in 56 cases of chronic atrophied gastritis (CAG) with Cold or Heat syndrome was observed by means of microscopy and electron microscopy. With microscopy, the authors found that keratinization of epithelial cells of fur in Cold syndrome group of CAG were markedly fewer than those in Heat syndrome group (P less than 0.01); while pre-keratinization cells were much more than those in Heat syndrome group (P less than 0.01); the constituent ratio of complete keratinization cells of fur in the two groups were markedly different. With the electron microscopy, fibrosis changes was appeared in pre-keratinization cells of Cold syndrome patients with CAG; desmosome was disappeared; metachromasia was appeared in nucleus; fibrosis change in Heat syndrome group was not obvious. Cells were still joined to one another by fingered protrusion. There were bacterias in both Cold and Heat syndrome groups. The change of exfoliative cells of fur in Cold and Heat syndromes in CAG, probably, can offer us a microcosmic sign for its early differentiation or diagnosis.
