Aims: An ecological study was conducted to investigate the diversity pattern of the lactic acid bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract of Cemani chicken, a native Indonesian chicken, using a molecular approach based on 16S rRNA genes. Methodology and results: Digesta samples of seven chickens were collected for terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) analysis. The molecular diversity of lactic acid bacteria in crop, ventriculus, ileum and cecum were determined. The results showed that microbial composition of lactic acid bacteria in cecum was relatively different with other upper gastrointestinal tract. Lactic acid bacteria phylotypes and diversity in ileum were higher than those in the crop, ventriculus, and cecum. Conclusion, significance and impact of study: We confirmed that cecum of native chicken has a different environment as compared to other gastrointestinal regions showing the lowest value of the Sorensen’s index. This first report of LAB diversity pattern in Cemani chicken contributes a more comprehensive understanding of the microbial ecology in the chicken.

Gastrointestinal (GI) stent has been developed for palliation of obstructive symptoms in various diseases causing obstruction of GI tract. Self-expanding metal stent (SEMS) has replaced old type of plastic stent, and endoscopic insertion of stent has replaced fluoroscopy-guided insertion. Nowadays, newly-designed SEMSs have been developed for prevention of complications such as stent migration and re-obstruction, and indications of stent recently have been widened into benign conditions as well as malignant obstruction. In this review, the types, method of insertion, indications and clinical outcomes of stent in the upper GI tract would be discussed.

Colorectal cancer is one of three leading cancer of gastrointestinal tract. Medical records of 42 patients with colorectal cancer who underwent operation at Hospital No175 between 2/1994 and 2/1999 were investigated retrospectively. The disease mainly has been seen in over 30-year patients. Endoscopy diagnosed 94.4% of patients, while that for X-rays is 79.4%. The patients were operated depending on the location of tumor. Surgical wound infection occurred in 31% and anastomotic fistula occurred in 4.7%. There was no death post-operation

The colorectal cancer is one of three leading cancers in the digestive tract. A study on the medical records of colorectal cancer in Hospital 175 during 1994-1999 has shown that the disease occurred mainly in ages of more than 30. 94.4% of patients diagnosed by endoscopy and 79.4% of patients diagnosed by X-ray. The indication for operation depended on the position of tumor. The infection in the incision occurred in 31% of patients and fistula in anastomosis occurred in 4.7% of patients. There was no postoperative death

212 patients suffering from colorectal cancer are analyzed, the author have following remarks: 1. Colorectal cancer generally occurs in individuals 40 years of age or older. Ration of men to women: 1.82. 2. Incidence of malignant lesion: rectum 36.32%, sigmoid: 16.04% righ colon: 15.57%, left colon: 14.15%, tranverse colon: 8.02%, cecum: 9.09%. 3. Treatment: right hemicolectomy 20.75%, left hemicolectomy: 7.55%, colectomy: 14.62%, subtotal colectomy: 2.83%, miles: 14.15%, artificial anus: 30.19%, by-pass: 3.77%, exploration: 1.42%. The early results of post operative: post operative complications were: 8.9%; post operatative: post operative mortality was:1.98%.
