Ultrastructural analysis and autoradiography of gastric mucosa bioptates in chronic active hepatitis

The results of gastrobiopsy are studied for a general pathological process in the liver. It is shown that the atrophic-sclerotic reactions predominating in the gastric mucosa are characterized by disturbances in the mucocyte ultrastructure attended by a reduction of cytoplasmic organelles, a marked decrease of biosynthesis in parenchymatous cells, and stroma collagenization, which is a systemic manifestation of regenerative-plastic insufficiency.
