Background: In Japan, palisade vessels (PV) are used to distinguish the esophagogastric junction (EGJ). Elsewhere, the EGJ is defined by the upper end of the gastric folds (GF) and PV are considered difficult to detect. This study evaluated the detection rate of PV in Western patients with Barrett's esophagus (BE) using white light imaging (WLI) and narrow band imaging (NBI), and quantified any discordance between Western and Japanese criteria for the EGJ.Methods: In 25 BE patients, the presence and location of PV and GF were determined and biopsies were obtained. High-quality images of the EGJ were collected under different conditions (insufflations-desufflation, WLI-NBI, forward-retroflex approach), resulting in eight different images per patient. The presence of PV on each still image was assessed by a panel of six Western and Japanese endoscopists with expertise in BE.Results: PV were observed in ≥ 1 images by a majority of the panel (≥ 4 raters) in 100 % of patients during insufflation versus 60 % during desufflation (p < 0.001). WLI and NBI detected PV in 100 and 92 %, respectively (p = 0.50). Interobserver agreement of the panel was 'moderate' (κ = 0.51). During endoscopy PV were located a median of 1 cm distal of the GF in 15 patients (63 %), with intestinal metaplasia (IM) in this discordant zone, in 27 % of patients.Conclusions: PV are visible in most Western BE patients and are best inspected during insufflation. The location of the GF and PV differed in a substantial group of patients, partially with IM in this discordant zone. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

Aims: Interobserver agreement for dysplasia in Barrett's oesophagus (BO) is low, and guidelines advise expert review of dysplastic cases. The aim of this study was to assess the added value of p53 immunohistochemistry (IHC) for the homogeneity within a group of dedicated gastrointestinal (GI) pathologists. Methods and results: Sixty‐single haematoxylin and eosin (HE) slide referral BO cases [20 low‐grade dysplasia (LGD); 20 high‐grade dysplasia (HGD); and 20 non‐dysplastic BO reference cases] were digitalised and independently assessed twice in random order by 10 dedicated GI pathologists. After a ‘wash‐out’ period, cases were reassessed with the addition of a corresponding p53 IHC slide. Outcomes were: (i) proportion of ‘indefinite for dysplasia’ (IND) diagnoses; (ii) interobserver agreement; and (iii) diagnostic accuracy as compared with a consensus ‘gold standard’ diagnosis defined at an earlier stage by five core expert BO pathologists after their assessment of this case set. Addition of p53 IHC decreased the mean proportion of IND diagnoses from 10 of 60 to eight of 60 (
P = 0.071). Mean interobserver agreement increased significantly from 0.45 to 0.57 (P = 0.0021). The mean diagnostic accuracy increased significantly from 72% to 82% (P = 0.0072) after p53 IHC addition. Conclusion: Addition of p53 IHC significantly improves the histological assessment of BO biopsies, even within a group of dedicated GI pathologists. It decreases the proportion of IND diagnoses, and increases interobserver agreement and diagnostic accuracy. This justifies the use of accessory p53 IHC within our upcoming national digital review panel for BO biopsy cases. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

BACKGROUND: Changes in the receptor profile of primary breast cancers to their metastases (receptor conversion) have been described for the estrogen receptor α (ERα) and progesterone receptor (PR). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of receptor conversion for ERα and PR on survival in a large group of distant non-bone breast cancer metastases. METHODS: Receptor conversion was studied by immunohistochemistry in a group of 233 metastatic breast cancer patients. Kaplan-Meier overall survival curves were plotted, and differences between the curves were analyzed by log-rank analysis. The additional prognostic value of conversion to established prognosticators was studied by Cox regression. RESULTS: Overall survival of patients showing conversion from positive to negative ERα or PR, or from negative to positive ERα or PR, or remaining receptor negative was comparable, and significantly worse than patients remaining receptor positive. ERα or PR receptor conversion from positive in the primary breast tumor to negative in distant metastases has independent negative prognostic value. CONCLUSIONS: ERα or PR receptor conversion from positive in the primary breast cancer to negative in distant metastases has negative prognostic value. Cancer 2012. © 2012 American Cancer Society.

HELICOBACTER pylori ,GASTROESOPHAGEAL reflux ,METAPLASIA - Abstract
: ObjectivesRecent studies indicate that colonization with cagA-positive Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) strains may protect against gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and its complications, but the role of cagA in the etiology of Barrett’s esophagus has so far been poorly investigated. The pathogenesis of intestinal metaplasia (IM) at an endoscopically normal esophagogastric junction (EGJ) is still unclear, and the role of the H. pylori virulence factor cagA in it has not been investigated. The aim of our study was to assess the relationship between H. pylori and cagA-positive H. pylori in particular and IM at an endoscopically normal EGJ and Barrett’s esophagus.: MethodsSerum samples were obtained from 62 patients without IM, 43 patients with IM at an endoscopically normal junction, and 51 patients with Barrett’s esophagus. IM was defined as presence of goblet cells with positive staining with Alcian blue. The prevalence of H. pylori and cagA was investigated by assessment of IgG antibody levels as determined by ELISA.: ResultsThe overall H. pylori prevalence was 59% (92/156), and the cagA prevalence was 29% (46/156). Although 63% (39/62) of IM negative subjects and 74% (32/43) of those with IM at the junction were H. pylori positive, only 41% (21/51) of Barrett’s patients tested positive. The differences between the IM negative and the Barrett’s group (p = 0.02) and between IM at the junction and Barrett’s were significant (p = 0.002). The relative cagA prevalence (percentage with cagA positivity and H. pylori positivity) was 56% (22/39) in patients who were IM negative, 59% (19/32) in those with IM at the junction, and 24% (5/21) in those with Barrett’s. The prevalence of anti-CagA was significantly lower in patients with Barrett’s esophagus compared with patients who were IM negative (p = 0.002) and those who had IM at the junction (p < 0.001). No difference in cagA prevalence was seen between the latter groups.: ConclusionsThese findings are in line with the concept that H. pylori and cagA-positive strains in particular protect against the development of Barrett’s esophagus. In contrast, our findings do not support the theory that IM at an endoscopically normal esophagogastric junction is associated with H. pylori or cagA-positive strains. IM at the junction and Barrett’s esophagus seem to have different etiologies. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

OBJECTIVE:Intestinal metaplasia (IM) is a precursor for malignancies at the esophagogastric junction. A monoclonal antibody, mAbDAS-1, can probably identify cellular characteristics of IM before the appearance of goblet cells. The aim of this study was to examine the prevalence of mAbDAS-1 positivity in biopsies from the squamocolumnar junction (SCJ) and to correlate this positivity with the presence of IM and clinical findings.METHODS:In 559 patients, reflux symptoms were scored, and the presence of reflux esophagitis and hiatus hernia was evaluated during endoscopy. Two biopsy specimens were obtained from the SCJ. In a subset of patients (n = 99), biopsies from the endoscopically defined cardiac region (2 cm distal to proximal margin of gastric folds) were available. Biopsy specimens were stained with hematoxylin and eosin, Alcian Blue, modified Giemsa, and mAbDAS-1.RESULTS:mAbDAS-1 positivity was observed in the SCJ biopsies of 201 of 486 (41.4%) patients without IM and in 64 of 73 (87.7%) patients with IM. Patients without IM but with antibody positivity showed similar histological characteristics as patients with IM at the SCJ. Biopsies of 123 of 559 patients (22%) revealed a columnar-cuboidal epithelium, which was found to be mAbDAS-1 positive in 64.2% (77 of 123). Tissue specimens from the cardiac region without IM stained positive in 14.2% (13 of 91), 12 of those also stained at the SCJ.CONCLUSIONS:In patients without IM, a high prevalence of mAbDAS-1 positivity was observed. Biopsies of these patients showed similar histological characteristics as patients with IM. Although not all patients exhibiting this reactivity may develop IM, mAbDAS-1 reactivity may help in the understanding of the histogenesis of IM at the SCJ. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Carditis has become the subject of much study and discussion, although its etiology is still controversial. We wished to study the prevalence and possible pathogenetic mechanisms of carditis in a well-defined group of patients. In 664 patients biopsies were taken distal to the squamocolumnar junction (SCJ) and from the endoscopically defined cardia (2 cm below proximal margin of gastric folds). Specimens were stained with hematoxylin and eosin, Alcian blue, and modified Giemsa. Type of mucosa, inflammatory and metaplastic changes, and presence of Helicobacter pylori (Hp) were graded. Most of the patients had a normal appearing SCJ on endoscopy; 19.3% had short columnar segments (1-3 cm). In the first group cardiac/mixed mucosa was found in 71.9% of SCJ biopsies, and carditis (90.6%) was associated with Hp. In the second group, cardiac/mixed mucosa was present in 80.5%. There was a trend for an association between carditis (87.4%) and reflux esophagitis and hiatal hernia. Biopsies from the endoscopically defined cardia rarely contained cardiac/mixed mucosa (12.6%). These findings suggest two etiologies for carditis. In a normal-appearing SCJ carditis is associated with Hp, whereas in an irregular SCJ with short columnar segments/tongues carditis is associated with features of gastroesophageal reflux.

- Abstract
The existence of zonal aganglionosis, a rare variant of Hirschsprung's disease, is often questioned. An extensive enzyme and immunohistochemical study was performed on gut specimens of two patients presenting with bilious vomiting and abdominal distension to find evidence of the existence of double zonal aganglionosis and to characterize the abnormalities of the enteric nervous system. The hypotheses concerning the pathogenesis of this neurogenic disorder are reviewed. The results of our study confirm the existence of zonal aganglionosis. The clinical presentation may be similar to classical Hirschsprung's disease. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
