Isolated lymph node recurrence in the right external iliac region in cases of cecum carcinoma is extremely rare, and the significance of surgical resection for isolated lymph node recurrence has not been established due to the low number of such cases. We report the first case of isolated right external iliac lymph node recurrence from a primary cecum carcinoma, successfully treated by surgical...

An 8-month-old boy with a left-sided incarcerated inguinal hernia involving the appendix, cecum, and terminal ileum was successfully managed via an inguinal approach during an emergency operation. A mobile cecum seemed to have contributed to the left-sided incarceration. Only 13 similar cases with the left-sided Amyand's hernia have been reported in the literature.

Transcriptional profiling of Campylobacter jejuni during colonization of the chick cecum identified 59 genes that were differentially expressed in vivo compared with the genes in vitro. The data suggest that C. jejuni regulates electron transport and central metabolic pathways to alter its physiological state during establishment in the chick cecum.

An 11-year-old female child presented with abdominal pain, vomiting and constipation. An exploratory laparotomy revealed a cecal volvulus due to a congenital band and malfixation of the cecum. This was treated by excision of the band, derotation and decompression of cecum though an appendiceal stump suction.

vanishing gastric tumors caused by anisakiasis [1]. The large intestine is rarely affected because the ingested larvae usually do not travel that far down the gastrointestinal tract. Colonic anisakiasis occasionally resembles a colonic tumor, because it leads to edema, acute phlegmonous inflammation, or the formation of granulomas around the larvae in the submucosa of the intestinal wall [2]. A...

BACKGROUND Adhesions frequently occur after abdominal surgery. Many anti-adhesion products have been used in clinic. However, the evidences are short for surgeons to reasonably choose the suitable anti-adhesion produces in clinical practice. This study provided such evidence by comparing the efficiency of five products to prevent abdominal adhesion formation in a rat model. METHODS Fifty-six ...

The current study provides the insight into the bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) and methanogens presented in the rumen and cecum of the Chinese roe deer (Capreolus pygargus). The ruminal, ileal, cecal, and colonic contents, as well as feces, were obtained from each of the three, free-range, roe deer ingesting natural pasture after euthanasia. For the bacterial community, a total of...
