          Abstract

          RACIONAL: O esôfago de Barrett é uma complicação da doença do refluxo gastroesofágico com importante potencial de malignização. Relata-se que a expressão do marcador tumoral p53 se acentua com a progressão displasia-adenocarcinoma. OBJETIVO: Avaliar a expressão da p53 no epitélio de Barrett com presença ou não de displasia conforme dois critérios de positividade. MATERIAL E MÉTODOS: O material foi constituído por biopsias endoscópicas de 42 doentes com esôfago de Barrett. Cortes histológicos foram corados pela hematoxilina-eosina, pelo PAS-alcian blue e avaliados quanto à expressão imunoistoquímica da p53. O diagnóstico de displasia foi firmado pela concordância entre três patologistas. Foram utilizados dois critérios de positividade para a p53: 1. a coloração de, pelo menos, metade dos núcleos e 2. o encontro de qualquer núcleo corado. RESULTADOS: O número total de fragmentos foi de 229, com média de 5,4 por paciente. A displasia foi detectada em seis (14,3%) casos. Para diferentes critérios de positividade, a p53 foi detectada, respectivamente, em 5 (13,9%) e 14 (38,9%) com epitélio metaplásico não-displásico. Especificamente nos seis casos displásicos, a p53 foi detectada, conforme o critério de positividade, em um (16,7%) e quatro (66,7%) casos, respectivamente. CONCLUSÕES: Nesta pequena série, a expressão imunoistoquímica da p53, independente do critério de positividade, não foi de auxílio para a confirmação de alterações displásicas no esôfago de Barrett.

          BACKGROUND: Barrett's esophagus is the most serious complication of the gastroesophageal reflux disease and presents a malignant potential. The expression of the tumoral marker p53 increases with the dysplasia-adenocarcinoma sequence. AIMS: To evaluate the p53 expression in Barrett's esophagus with or without dysplasia according to the two positive immunostaining criteria. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The material was constituted by endoscopic biopsy specimens from 42 patients with Barrett's esophagus. Section ectionss of formalinof formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded biopsies were stained with hematoxylin-eosin, PAS-alcian blue and evaluated the p53 immunohistochemical expression. Two p53 immunostaining criteria were utilized: 1. the staining of, at least, half of the nuclei, and 2. the staining of any nucleus. The diagnosis of dysplasia was confirmed by the agreement between three pathologists. RESULTS: The total number of tissue specimens was 229, with an average of 5.4 specimens per patient. Dysplasia, with agreement for all pathologists examining the same set of slides, was detected in six (14.3%) cases. According to the two different p53 immunostaining criteria, the protein was detected in non-dysplastic Barrett's metaplasia, respectively, in 5 (13.9%) and 14 (38.9%) patients. Specificaly in the six dysplastic cases, p53 was detected, according to the immunostaining criteria, in one (16.7%) and four (66.7%) cases, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: In this group, p53 immunohistochemical expression, regardless of positive criteria take into account, was not useful for detecting dysplasia in Barrett's esophagus.

            Columnar mucosa and intestinal metaplasia of the esophagus: fifty years of controversy.

            To outline current concepts regarding etiology, diagnosis, and treatment of intestinal metaplasia of the esophagus and cardia. Previously, endoscopic visualization of columnar mucosa extending a minimum of 3 cm into the esophagus was sufficient for the diagnosis of Barrett's esophagus, but subsequently the importance of intestinal metaplasia and the premalignant nature of Barrett's have been recognized. It is now apparent that shorter lengths of intestinal metaplasia are common, and share many features of traditional 3-cm Barrett's esophagus. Themes and concepts pertaining to intestinal metaplasia of the esophagus and cardia are developed based on a review of the literature published between 1950 and 1999. Cardiac mucosa is the precursor of intestinal metaplasia of the esophagus. Both develop as a consequence of gastroesophageal reflux. Intestinal metaplasia, even a short length, is premalignant, and the presence of dysplasia indicates progression on the pathway to adenocarcinoma. Antireflux surgery, as opposed to medical therapy, may induce regression or halt progression of intestinal metaplasia. The presence of high-grade dysplasia is frequently associated with an unrecognized focus of adenocarcinoma. Vagal-sparing esophagectomy removes the diseased esophagus and is curative in patients with high-grade dysplasia. Invasion beyond the mucosa is associated with a high likelihood of lymph node metastases and requires lymphadenectomy. Despite improved understanding of this disease, controversy about the definition and best treatment of Barrett's esophagus continues, but new molecular insights, coupled with careful patient follow-up, should further enhance knowledge of this disease.

              Epidemiology of columnar-lined esophagus and adenocarcinoma.

              Barrett's esophagus is found in about 1% of the older population and in 3% to 5% of persons with gastroesophageal reflux. It is acquired more commonly by men and the prevalence increases with age. Most cases in the population remain undiagnosed. The incidence of adenocarcinoma of the esophagus and esophagogastric junction is increasing, both being related to Barrett's esophagus. Small areas of intestinal metaplasia are common but of uncertain significance.
