| Research Abstract |
Barrett's esophagus (BE) is an acquired disorder associated with a high incidence of adenocarcinoma. The object of this study was to define the difference among various types of Barrett's mucosa and gastric intestinal metaplastic mucosa. The fine mucosal pattern (pit pattern) of Barrett's mucosa was recorded and compared with methylene blue staining. Histological, mucin immunohistologic, and cell proliferation analyses of biopsy specimens were performed in relation to the pit patterns obtained by magnifying endoscopy. Pit patterns were classified into five categories. Tubular or villous pit patterns were not only characteristics of both SCE and methylene blue absorption but also possessed intestinal mucin phenotype whose Ki-labeling index was high, while other pit patterns, dot or straight pattern, did not have SCE and were categorized into gastric phenotype mucosa. Long oval pit pattern had an intermediate phenotype between these two groups.
Classification of superficial mucosal appearance obtained by magnifying endoscopy reflects not only histological features but also mucin phenotypes.
