"Based on its relation to the liver sinusoid, increased pressure of portal vein can occur at three levels: presinusoid, sinusoid ,and postsinusoid. Obstruction of the presinusoid veins can be caused by extra-hepatic condition such as venous thrombosis.

We reported a case of portal hypertension with esophageal varices bleeding was a result of obstruction due to thrombosis of the splenic vein and portal vein under hypercoagulant conditions due to thrombocyto-sis. The management of esophageal varices was sclerotherapy while for overcome the thrombosis the patient was given hydroxy urea."

"We reported here a rare case of a 62 year old male patient with obstructive jaundice due to bile duct tumor. The main clinical features were yellowish eye and skin, followed by pruritus and clay-colored stool. Ultrasonography showed common bile duct dilatation and without evidence of stones. Computed Tomography Scan of upper abdomen showed a mass which were thought of head of pancreas origin. Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangio Pancreatograph revealed tight narrowing of the distal bile duct to a malignant tumor. A stent was inserted to allow biliary drainage, A surgical plan for billio digestive anastomosis was rejected by the patient and family."

"Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection is the most common chronic bacterial infection in human. The role of Hp infection in various GI disorders had been widely accepted. However, further studies have found new extragastrointestinal involvement such as urticaria. Chronic urticaria is a common disorder that has complex pathophysiologic mechanism. As mater of fact, etiology remains unclear in most of the cases. This condition is called Idiopathic Chronic Urticaria. Several studies had shown high prevalence of Hp infection in patients with ICU and improved symptoms after eradication therapy of Hp. This observation had suggested that Hp has important role as etiologic factor in some cases of ICU. The presence of Hp infection and its role in ICU should be proven before initiating eradication therapy, so that irrational used of drugs and antibiotics resistance can be prevented."

"Amyloidosis is a rare disease, when diagnosed it's incurable and mostly affect over 40 years old male. Diagnostic is confirmed if histopathologic stained positive with Congo red and evidence of monoclonal protein. Survivals for untreated patients are 13 months in primary amyloidosis but if secondary to other chronic disease and systemic, survival could be 3-4 years. It can not be prevented but when affected, control of the underlying illness can prevent progression of amyloidosis.

We report a rare case of a 67 year old male, who came with chronic diarrhea. The stool analysis, there were no negative gram microorganisme found, only food maldigestion and fungus infection. Stool analyze from parasitology department were found microspore, but the stool culture were sterile. The patient underwent colonoscopy which revealed hyperemis mucosa in rectum, sigmoid, descending & transverse colon. From the biopsy was concluded intestinal amyloidosis. We treated the patient symptomatically and couldn't find the underlying inflammatory disease which causes the problem."

"Background: Thin study aimed to investigate gastric mucosa mucous layer thickness in portal hypertensive gastropathy (PHG) compare to normal mucosa in functional dyspepsia and its correlation with several variables such as child class, severity of esophageal varices and gastropathy.

Materials and Methods: Biopsy specimens were taken from the antrum and corpus from both group of patients with PHG and functional dyspepsia. The specimen was given cryometric for frozen section. Tissue were sliced by sagital section II urn, placed in object glass, fixed and stained to evaluate mucous thickness and giemsa stained to observe Helicobacter pylori. Measurement of mucous thickness was done upward muscularis mucosa started from upper epithelial layer from faveale tip until outer mucous layer on 15 points which were marked randomly and calculate the mean value by micrometer (/jm).

Results: Mean value of antral mucous thickness in PHG was 13.30 ± 6.5 fim, while in the functional dyspepsia it was 25.59 ± 5.66 /an. Statistical analysis for both kinds of mucous thickness was p<0.001. Mean corpus mucous thickness in PHG was 10.6 ± 6.81 /jm, while mucous thickness in dyspepsia was 32.54 ± 6.51 fjm. Statistical analysis revealed p<0.001. This result showed significant difference of mucous thickness of antrum and corpus statistically between PHG and dyspepsia as control group.

Conclusion: The study had proven the presence of decreased gastric mucosa mucous layer thickness in corpus and antrum in PHG. Thus, therapeutic approach to increase mucous thickness must be considered in patients with PHG."

"Approximately 60% of patients who die due to melanoma have gastrointestinal metastases at autopsy, yet ante mortem diagnosis is uncommon. The small bowel is the most frequent intestinal site of metastasis and prognosis is very poor with a median survival after operation was 6.2 months (range: 1-42 months). Bowel metastases may appear radiologically as polypoid mucosal lesions, submucosal nodules, diffuse infiltration with thickening of the intestinal wall, or serosal implants. Bowel obstruction due into intussusceptions is common clinical presentation of gastrointestinal metastasis; other presentation include gastrointestinal bleeding, perforation and large masses.We reported a case of m eta static melanoma to small bowel, whose had hematemesis melena, abdominal pain, diarrhea and weight loss without primary cutaneus melanoma. Gastroduodenoscopy appeared normal. The ultrasonography of bowel showed a"doughnut" configuration with concentric rings of bowel wall. Left lateral decubitus abdominal radiographies showed free air appearances. Laparatorny reported three location of invaginalion (intussuception) with multiple polyposis at ileo-jejttnal segment (29 pieces of polyp) and jejunum perforation. Resection and end-to end anastomosis of the. affected segment had been performed with no serious complication after this. Miscroscopical examination of specimen showed metasiatic melanoma malignant in 3 lymph nodes. Eight weeks later patients died with distant metastases to brain."

"The recent advances of endoscopic examination had proven that source of upper gastrointestinal bleeding in liver cirrhosis is not always caused by esophageal varices rupture but also gastric mucosal lesion. The prevalence of gastric ulcer in patients with liver cirrhosis is higher than healthy individuals. Imbalance of defensive and aggressive factors of gastric mucosa may involve in development of portal hypertensive gastropathy (PHG). Several studies reported hemodynamic changes associated wuth portal hypertension causing decreased mucus layer thickness as one of mechanism of PHG. Other dialogic factors of PHG were hypoacidity, hypergastrinemia, reduced hexosamin concentration, mucus metabolic function associated with decreased prostaglandin E2, and increased nitric oxyde which had caused mucus wall thickness changes. Gastric mucus damage induced by portal hypertension has important role in the pathogenesis of gastric ulcer in liver cirrhosis."
