Abstract:
Results of cell culture and cytogenetic analysis (standard and fluorescent in situ hybridization, FISH) of two sporadic gastrinomas are reported. Maintenance of hormonal activity was assessed by detection of gastrin levels during the first 3 months in culture. Case 1 showed clonal aberrations consisting of two marker chromosomes: marker 1 is a large metacentric chromosome and marker 2 is a small acrocentric chromosome. Case 2 showed a constitutional polymorphism with chromosome 15p+ and a clone in the tumor cell culture with trisomy for chromosome 3. To our knowledge, this is the first cytogenetic report of sporadic gastrinomas (Zollinger-Ellison syndrome).

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...
