[Characteristics of antitumor immunity in different forms of chronic gastritis]
Abstract:
Patients with stomach cancer, primary chronic gastritis (with intestine-type metaplasia of mucosa), old-age gastritis, post-resection gastritis, B12-deficiency-induced gastritis, stomach ulcer and chronic non-specific diseases of the lungs revealed a high sensitization to stomach cancer antigens matched by a low one to antigens of unaltered mucosa of the stomach. Patients with malignancies at sites other than the stomach, morphological patterns of gastritis as well as cases of primary chronic gastritis unaccompanied by intestinal metaplasia showed a reverse correlation: a high activity of T-lymphocytes with respect to unaltered gastric mucosa antigens and a low one--to stomach cancer antigens. An immunologic test using stomach and tumor antigens for screening of those at high risk for stomach cancer is suggested.

Special Features of Adaptive Immunity
The primary cell types involved in adaptive immunity are T cells and B cells. Each type has a unique role in defending the body against pathogens. T cells are responsible for cell-mediated immunity. They identify and eliminate infected cells directly,...

Gastritis-II: Pathophysiology
In acute gastritis, the gastric mucosa becomes swollen and red and undergoes superficial erosion. Superficial ulceration may lead to bleeding.
In chronic gastritis, persistent or repeated insults lead to chronic inflammatory changes and, eventually, thinning or atrophy of the gastric tissue.
Gastritis can stem from various causes, each...
