At the esophago-cardiac junction squamous epithelium is intermingled with gastric epithelium. Within the lamina propria of the distal 3 cm of the esophagus we found cardiac glands with many argyrophil cells in 60% of cases. Electron microscopy revealed seven well knonwn types and two further forms which we could not identify: EC, ECL, D, D1, AL, I eg. M, S. It is supposed that these cells are modified neurotransmitters with a local activity. Their function is local regulation of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES).
在食管-贲门交界处，鳞状上皮与胃上皮相互交织。在食管远端3厘米的固有层内，我们发现60%的病例中有含有许多嗜银细胞的贲门腺。电子显微镜显示有七种已知类型以及另外两种我们无法识别的类型：EC、ECL、D、D1、AL、I例如M、S。据推测，这些细胞是具有局部活性的修饰神经递质。它们的功能是局部调节食管下括约肌（LES）。
