An Endoscopic Recognition of the Atrophic Border and its Significance in Chronic Gastritis
Abstract
The endoscopic atrophic border is a boundary between the pyloric and fundic gland territories, which is endoscopically recognized by discriminating differences in color and height of the gastric mucosa. The existence of superficial gastritis might exaggerate the color and niveau differences, thus making it much easier to recognize the atrophic border. And also, according to the results of precise biopsy taken perpendicularly across the endoscopic atrophic border, it might be the boundary of histological atrophy and non-atrophy. In other words, the endoscopic atrophic border might be the boundary both of gland type and of atrophy. As a supplemental approach, a selective application of congo red method was endoscopically performed, which suggests that this might be a physiological border as well. Additionally, a classification of the atrophic pattern was attempted according to the location of the endoscopic atrophic border in the stomach, which revealed a close relationship with gastric analysis. Key-Words Atrophic border - pyloric and fundic gland area - congo red method - endoscopic biopsy - gastric analysis

“In 1969, Kimura and Takemoto proposed a classification system for AG based on the extent of the atrophic border.(46) In this system, gastric atrophy is categorized as closed (C) or open (O) type, each with a grade based on the extent of atrophic border (Supplementary Figure 2).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
