[The morphological characteristics of apoptosis and mitotic activity of the gastric epitheliocytes in patients with nonatrophic and atrophic forms of chronic gastritis].
Overall, 142 patients of both sexes with non-atrophic and atrophic forms of chronic gastritis who ranged from 17 to 65 years old and 25 healthy subjects (control group) were studied for apoptotic activity and mitotic patterns of gastric epitheliocytes (GE). Progression of chronic gastritis was found out to be associated with intensification of GE mitotic activity and apoptosis. The studied parameters abnormal changes were at their greatest in patients with atrophic and hyperplastic forms of chronic gastritis.
