Table 3 Comparison of histologic features among control groups and stem cell transplant patients.
From: Evaluation of the lower histologic threshold for gastric graft versus host disease
Normal | H. pylori gastritis | Chronic inactive gastritis | Intestinal metaplasia | Reactive gastropathy | Iron pill gastritis | Stem cell transplant, treated | Stem cell transplant, untreated | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Mean apoptotic count per 10 contiguous gastric pits (range) | 0.7 (0–2) | 1.1 (0–5) | 1.1 (0–2) | 1.4 (0–4) | 1.0 (0–2) | 0.9 (0–3) | 2.1 (0–8) | 0.9 (0–3) |
Any apoptosis | 5 (50%) | 6 (60%) | 9 (90%) | 8 (80%) | 7 (70%) | 5 (50%) | 37 (82%) | 10 (56%) |
≥1 apoptotic body per biopsy | 2 (20%) | 1 (10%) | 1 (10%) | 0 (0%) | 2 (20%) | 0 (0%) | 16 (36%) | 2 (11.1%) |
At least 2 apoptotic bodies per 10 contiguous gastric pits and ≥1 apoptotic bodies per biopsy | 0 (0%) | 1 (10%) | 1 (10%) | 0 (0%) | 2 (20%) | 0 (0%) | 15 (33%) | 1 (6%) |
Pit dropout | 0 (0%) | 0 (0%) | 0 (0%) | 0 (0%) | 0 (0%) | 0 (0%) | 5 (11%) | 0 (0%) |
