title: [Study on mitochondrial ultrastructure, trace elements and correlative factors of gastric mucosa in patients with spleen deficiency syndrome].
abstract: Eighty-eight gastropathic patients with Spleen deficiency syndrome by using transmission electron microscope (TEM), X-ray energy disperse analysis system (EDAX), histochemical staining and radioimmuno methods were examined. The authors found that the gastric mucosa cAMP, SOD level, the quantity of mitochondria and its crista, the ratio of diameter between ventricle and cavity of mitochondria and the content of Zn, Cu of mitochondria were reduced in the trend of healthy control group, Spleen Qi deficiency group, Spleen deficiency with Qi stagnation group; chronic superficial gastritis group, chronic atrophic gastritis group, gastric cancer group: complete small intestinal metaplasia group, incomplete small intestinal metaplasia group, complete colonic intestinal metaplasia group, incomplete colonic intestinal metaplasia group (P < 0.05-0.001). While the degeneration rate of mitochondria, the Cu/Zn ratio of mitochondria, the metaplasia rate of gastric, the rate of incomplete colonic intestinal metaplasia and the content of serum LPO were increased in the above turn. It is suggested that the comprehensive effect of the degeneration of mitochondria and the quantitative changes of its correlative factors is the physiopathologic base for inducing Spleen deficiency disease, gastric mucosa metaplasia and canceration. Much attention must be paid in clinic to the cancerization trend of gastric disease with Spleen deficiency syndrome.
