[Pilot programme--detection of colon tumour in subjects living in the district of northern Banat].

Introduction: Tumours of the colon are among the leading neoplasms in the world as well as in Europe and our country both in the male and female population. The study was aimed at showing the incidence of colon tumour in a group of 300 subjects who had undergone total colonoscopy as well.

Material And Methods: The endoscopic examinations were performed by the Fujinon video endoscopes.

[Correlation between rapid urease test and pathohistological gastrobiopsy finding with positive immunological test in detecting Helicobacter pylori infection].

Introduction: Helicobacter pylori is a bacterium that has been in the limelight of gastroenterologists and oncologists worldwide since its immediate effect on the development of gastritis, ulcer disease, mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma and gastric cancer was proved. The aim of this study was to determine the correlation between the positive immunological test, rapid urease test and pathohistological finding in detecting Helicobacter pylori infection of the gastric mucosa.

Material And Methods: This retrospective study included 250 endoscopic findings of subjects having undergone endoscopy in the first half of 2010 at the Ward of Gastroenterology, Department of Internal Diseases, Hospital in Senta.

[Prognostic significance of macrosatellite instability in patients uder 50 years of age suffering from colorectal cancer].

Introduction: Colorectal cancer (CRC) can arise through two distinct mutational pathways: microsatellite instability or chromosomal instability. High-frequency microsatellite instability (MSI) occurs in approximately 15 percent of sporadic cases of CRCs. Many studies have well established that MSI, the hallmark of defective DNA mismatch repair, is associated with prolonged survival of CRC patients compared with tumors that are microsatellite stable.

[Deciduosis peritonei--a case report].

Introduction: The occurrence of ectopic decidua (deciduosis) has been observed most often in the ovaries, uterus, and cervix. It has been established in approximately 90% of patients who have undergone laparotomy during pregnancy. A peritoneal localization is less frequent and usually an asymptomatic incidental finding, but is occasionally associated with massive and potentially fatal hemoperitoneum, abdominal pain and dystocia.

[Prognostic significance of tumor-induced angiogenesis in colorectal carcinoma].

Introduction: Tumor-induced angiogenesis is a central pathogenic step in the process of tumor growth, invasion and metastasis. The aim of this study was to analyze the quantitative expression of angiogenesis in colorectal carcinoma and to determine if and how angiogenesis correlates with other clinicopathologic factors and prognosis.

Material And Methods: This study included 40 patients who underwent curative resection of colorectal cancer at the Department of Surgery of the Senta General Hospital with complete 5 years follow-up or till death.
