چکیده
introduction: the aim of this study was to demonstrate changes in nature of mucin and production of acidic forms using pas-alcian blue stain at ph=2.5. appearance of non-goblet metaplastic columnar cells of lower esophagus is considered as an early sign of barrette sophagus, simultaneous in conjunction or before the appearance of goblet cells in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease. material and methods: forty four biopsy samples where taken from the squamo-columnar junction of patients with reflux associated columnar metaplasia of lower esophagus who referred to shariati hospital during 1378. all specimens were stained by alcian blue-pas at ph=2.5 to search for acidic mucin production in non-goblet metaplastic columnar cells of lower esophagus. colonic mucosa specimen and the goblet cells from 9 cases with overt intestinal metaplasia were used as external and internal positive controls and cardiac type columnar cells were considered as negative control for acidic mucin production. result: eight out of 44 biopsy samples taken at squamo-columnar junction of patients with reflux associated columnar metaplasia in lower esophagus showed acidic mucin production in non-goblet metaplastic columnar cells. conclusion: alcian blue-pas stain at ph=2.5 can demonstrate changes in nature of mucin content and reveals acidic mucin production in non-goblet metaplastic columnar cells of lower esophagus in some patients with gastroesophagea appearance of goblet cells and can help in early detection of this premalignant lesion and as a result, better surveillance and follow up of the affected patients.

Gastroesophageal reflux, barrett esophagus, and esophageal cancer: scientific review.
CONTEXT Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a risk factor for adenocarcinoma of the esophagus, a rare cancer whose incidence is increasing. Adenocarcinoma may develop from Barrett esophagus, a metaplastic change of the esophageal epithelium from squamous to intestinalized columnar mucosa, which is associated with chronic reflux. Some have recommended that patients with chronic reflux symp...

T he incidence of esophageal adenocarcinoma has been rising rapidly over the past few decades. The major risk factors predisposing to the development of adenocarcinoma are long-standing gastroesophageal reflux disease and Barrett esophagus, but other factors may be involved as cancer can occur in their absence. In patients with Barrett esophagus, the extent and degree of dysplasia influence the...

BACKGROUND Patients with gastroesophageal reflux and Barrett esophagus may represent a group of patients with poorer postoperative outcomes. It has been suggested that such patients should undergo open rather than laparoscopic antireflux surgery. HYPOTHESIS The laparoscopic approach to antireflux surgery is appropriate treatment for patients with Barrett esophagus who have symptomatic gastroe...
