    Notes: Semi-automatic image analysis was used to assess the architectural features of normal colorectal mucosa and ulcerative colitis with and without dysplasia. Eight measured and derived morphometric variables were compared with the histological grading. The main data-set variation was due to: (1) the area of mucosa and epithelium per unit length of muscularis mucosae; (2) mean mucosal and epithelial height; and (3) the percentage epithelium and number of crypts per unit length of muscularis mucosae. Discriminant analysis using the variables mean epithelial height and mean lamina propria area per unit length of muscularis mucosae separated normals (n=10) from high-grade dysplasia (8). The classification rule allocated low-grade dysplasia (8) to the high-grade category and 60% of regeneration cases (10) to the normal mucosa group. Scatter plots of the two discriminating variables separated normal and regenerative mucosa from dysplasia. Histological review of overlapping cases allowed redesignation of a high-grade dysplasia lesion as low grade. Architectural morphometry may be of use in assessing premalignant mucosal changes in ulcerative colitis as a guide to patient surveillance and therapy.

    Assessment of oesophagitis by histology and morphometry (1989)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Publishing Ltd
    Histopathology 14 (1989), S. 0

    Notes: Morphometric measurements of nuclear area, nuclear concentration and nucleolar dimensions in defined tissue zones of orientated oesophageal biopsy sections were compared between three patient groups–asymptomatic/normal endoscopy (n= 8): symptomatic reflux/normal endoscopy (n= 17); and symptomatic/endoscopic oesophagitis (n= 15). No significant differences could be shown for any mean parameter between clinical groups. In a further group of 16 patients, identical morphometric measurements were made in non-orientated grasp biopsies and correlated with prolonged ambulatory pH data. No significant correlations could be shown between nuclear parameters and acid reflux measurements. These results suggest that morphometric measurement cannot be recommended as a diagnostic tool in the diagnosis of oesophagitis, although it may be useful in the assessment of individual therapeutic response in clinical trials.

    A morphometric assessment of transitional mucosa in the colon (1988)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Publishing Ltd

    Notes: Quantitative morphometric analysis was used in 10 resection specimens to assess so-called transitional mucosa immediately adjacent to colorectal carcinoma. Eleven nuclear and cellular variables were measured from the malignant epithelial area and from zones of increasing distance (1 cm) from the lesion. In addition, mean mucosal height was assessed for each zone. Morphometrical differences between the mucosa immediately adjacent to the malignant epithelium and that taken at some distance from it were determined by Mann-Whitney U tests. Transitional mucosa showed increased mucosal height but no nuclear differences from normal mucosa. Other work has shown that there are nuclear morphometric differences associated with premalignant conditions in the colon. Thus, the suggestion that transitional mucosa represents early neoplastic change cannot be supported.
