Bleeding gastric varices and gastric torsion secondary to a wandering spleen.

We are reporting a patient who presente with upper gastrointestinal bleeding which was in part caused by a wandering spleen. Endoscopy revealed erosions of gastric varices in the presence of gastric torsion. At surgical exploration the spleen was present in the pelvis. The twisted and elongated splenic pedicle resulted in a markedly dilated venous system of the proximal stomach and the engorged spleen. The literature of the wandering spleen is reviewed.

Histological localization of plasminogen activator and proteolytic activity in the human stomach and duodenum.

Plasminogen activator activity has been localized in gastric and duodenal tissue using a histological technique. This activity could be separated from proteolytic activity by incorporating in-aminocaproic acid into the fibrin substrate or by heat treatment. Plasminogen activator activity was found in relation to mucosal and submucosal blood vessels in the tissues studied. Proteolytic activity was identified in the surface epithelium, the gastric antral and fundal glands, and in the antral submucosal fat. Proximal duodenal tissue contained proteolytic activity in relation to Brunner's glands.
