[Parenchymal-stromal interactions in gastric mucosa of patients with indolent ulcers]

The aim of the study was to investigate the development and progress of indolent gastric ulcers. Historical and morphometric data were obtained characterizing different stages of chronic inflammation in periulcerative region. In indolent gastric ulcers the reduction of macrophages, plasmocytes and intraepithelial lymphocytes number was revealed. Epithelio-stromal-vascular correlations in the stomach mucosa can be used as structural criteria for prognosis of chronic ulcer healing.
