Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study of Acute Pancreatitis

Acute Pancreatitis

To quantitatively analyze the T2* values of the head, body, and tail of normal pancreas, and observe the value of GRE T2*-weighted MRI in the diagnosis of acute pancreatitis and the relationship between the T2* value and the severity of AP.

Role of ST2 in Acute Pancreatitis

Acute Pancreatitis

Acute pancreatitis is characterized by an inflammatory storm which regulatory pathways are not well known. The IL-1 cytokine family is activated early during acute pancreatitis and secretion of alarmins is speculated during pancreatic necrosis. IL-33 is a member of the IL-1 family, it can act as an alarmin and its receptor, ST2, is known to sequester MyD88 which might regulate the acute pancreatitis inflammatory storm. The aim of this study is to investigate ST2 pathway in human acute pancreatitis and in murine experimental models of acute pancreatitis.

Relationship Between Acute Severe Pancreatitis and Mitochondrial DNA

Severe Acute Pancreatitis

Plasma mtDNA analysis aids in predicting pancreatic necrosis in severe acute pancreatitis patients.After the onset of severe acute pancreatitis, pancreatic necrosis and the content of mtDNA in plasma will increase, showing a significant positive correlation.

Endoscopic Treatment of Biliary Stricture Caused by Chronic Pancreatitis

Biliary StrictureChronic Pancreatitis

Benign biliary strictures can be endoscopically treated with plastic or self-expandable metal stents (SEMS). The purpose of the prospective randomized study is to compare the safety and feasibility of covered SEMS with multiple plastic stents in the treatment of benign biliary stricture caused by chronic pancreatitis.

Prospective Study on the Role of Eus-fnb in the Diagnosis of Autoimmune Pancreatitis

Autoimmune Pancreatitis

According to the reported histological procurement yield of the end-cutting needles, the investigators supposed that the use of EUS-FNB in probable AIP patients, generally aimed only to rule-out malignancy, could provide histological tissue samples useful in enhancing the diagnostic level reached without histology, or defining the type of AIP.

Searching the Best Prognostic Factor in Out Come Evaluation in Patients With Acute Pancreatitis...

Acute Pancreatitis

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is rapid-onset inflammation of the pancreas that varies in severity from a self-limiting mild illness to rapidly progressive multiple organ failure. Statistics suggest that 10-20% of patients with AP develop severe AP (SAP),1 which usually has an unfavourable disease progression and is associated with a poor prognosis. The two most common and important causes of acute pancreatitis are gallstones (40-70%) and alcohol (25-35%) Gallstone pancreatitis is usually due to an obstructing stone in the pancreatic duct near the sphincter of Oddi . In alcohol-related pancreatitis, it is believed that the acinar cells of the pancreas are susceptible to damage by ethanol and underlie the etiology of the disease . Another common cause, iatrogenic pancreatitis, may occur after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in up to 5% of patients. Other etiologies of acute pancreatitis include medications, infections, trauma, hereditary, hypertriglyceridemia and autoimmune disease.

Serum Parameter Prior and After EUS-guided Fine Needle Aspiration of the Pancreas

Pancreatitis

Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS ) -guided fine needle aspiration (EUS -FNA ) of focal pancreatic lesions is an essential diagnostic procedure with high therapeutic effect in clinical routine. The aim of this study is to determine the levels of serum lipase, serum amylase and the tumor marker CA 19-9 prior and after EUS-FNA. In animal experiments on dogs, an increase of all three parameters was observed after surgery on the pancreas. For humans, these clinically important data are not yet available . It is assumed that the probability of pancreatitis with increased activity of lipase and amylase will rise with the number of puncture procedures as well as the size of the puncture needle. In addition, the post-interventional assessment of the tumor marker CA 19-9 could result in a false positive assumption of malignant neoplastic pancreatic lesion.
