Ultrastructure of metaplastic ciliated cells in human stomach.
TL;DR: Electron microscopic examination of 12 Japanese patients has revealed that ciliated cells in the gastric cilia are not metaplastic stereocilia, but true cilia, and this phenomenon might be a type of metaplasia and is named “ciliated Metaplasia” of the Gastric mucosa.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ciliated cells in the human gastric mucosa. Evidence of metaplastic change.
TL;DR: Ciliated cells in the gastric mucosa have been found mainly in elderly Japanese patients, but were also observed exceptionally in one Chinese, two Swedes and one American, and therefore a new term, “ciliated metaplasia”, is proposed for their occurrence.

Ciliated Cells in the Cardiac Gland of the Human Stomach Evidence of Metaplastic Change
TL;DR: The presence of ciliated cells in the adult human gastric mucosa was always associated with intestinal metaplasia; therefore, the interpretation is that this is a type of meta plasia, for which a new term is proposed, “ciliatedmetaplasia” of the stomach is proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ultrastructure of the mucus-negative vacuolated cells in the metaplastic pyloric gland of the human stomach.
TL;DR: Mucus-negative vacuolated cells, often with apical cilia, were found in the metaplastic pyloric gland of the human stomach and might correspond to the mature ciliated cells in which cystic degeneration of the autophagosomes occurred after digestion by lysosomal enzymes.
