Summary:Quantitative and qualitative analyses were carried out on visible mucus of gastric juice from patients with various disorders of the stomach, especially with carcinoma of the stomach. Volumetric determinations of visible mucus indicate pathological changes of surface epithelium by detecting abberations from normal range. Gastritis was characterized by wider range of deviation. A marked increase in sialic acid content was noted in partial hydrolyzate of the visible mucus of gastric carcinoma. Characteristic changes during disease were noted in increased viscosity at the isoelectric point of the visible mucus. Mechanisms of these phenomena are discussed in connection with patho-physiological functions of the visible mucus.
