Comparative observations on the types of atrophic gastritis and biopsy pathology of gastric mucosa.
300 cases of chronic atrophic gastritis were classified into 3 types of qi-deficiency of spleen and stomach, yang-deficiency of spleen and stomach, and yin-deficiency of spleen and stomach according to syndrome differentiation of traditional Chinese medicine. The biopsy specimens of gastric mucosa were examined histopathologically and for the presence of pyloric spirobacteria. The results showed that the type of yin-deficiency was the most serious in the degree of pathologic changes, or the glandular atrophy and the interstitial inflammatory cellular infiltration, while the rate of pyloric spirobacteria presence was comparable in all types.
