Active clinical trials for "Pancreatitis"

One of the major elements of successful endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography ( ERCP) is the timely and uncomplicated cannulation of the common bile duct (CBD) . Various factors may adversely affect the cannulation procedure of the CBD leading to complications (acute pancreatitis after ERCP, perforation of the duodenum , bleeding ). Endoscopic sphincterotomy is frequently required for interventional procedures (eg stone extraction). During sphincterotomy, incision of the orifice of the papilla will be performed by using a sphincterotome. Complications due to sphincterotomy are known: Bleeding, increased rates of acute pancreatitis, small bowel perforation and scarring with consecutive stenosis of the papilla. As an alternative to sphincterotomy, balloon dilatation using balloon catheters can be performed. As a result, bleeding complications and scarring as late effects might be prevented. Current data is limited in terms of the risk of acute pancreatitis after ERCP when using a balloon catheter. This study aims to evaluate the incidence of acute pancreatitis and other complications after ERCP. Balloon dilatation of the papilla will be prospectively compared with endoscopic sphincterotomy in a randomized multicenter setting.

Investigation of the efficacy and safety of digital catheter-based pancreatoscopy (DCP) for the Treatment of symptomatic Stones of the pancreatic duct in selected patients with chronic calcifying pancreatitis (CCP)

The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of laparoscopic-assisted percutaneous catheter drainage of early SAP(severe acute pancreatitis).We are going to select 60 cases SAP patients from April 2014 to April 2015 who carry on the treatment in our hospital,and divide into the experimental group and control group under respect the wishes of patient in the case.The experimental group use the method of laparoscopic-assisted percutaneous drainage to carry on the treatment,the control group patients use conventional conservative therapy to carry on the treatment.Contrastive analyze two groups of patients clinical care effects. Research hypothesis:according to compare the mortality,the incidence of complications ,hospital stay and other research indicators of two groups .It is supposed that the research indicators of experimental group are lower than the control group ,difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).We can draw the conclusion that the method of laparoscopic-assisted percutaneous catheter drainage of early SAP is useful and deserve to be promoted on clinical.

Our animal studies found that continuous regional arterial infusion (CRAI in the celiac trunk) of low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) could alleviate inflammation, improve global hemodynamics and restore organ function in a porcine model of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP,unpublished). In this study, the investigators aim to evaluate the effects of CRAI of LMWH in the treatment of SAP patients. The investigators suppose CRAI could help improve the outcomes of these patients.

With multicenter randomized control clinical evaluation investigations, the scheme of integrated medicine treatment of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) was further improved, and the therapeutic effects, safety and indications assured. Drawing in latest research fruits at home and abroad, a clinical practical guideline for integrated medicine of diagnosis and treatment of SAP would be formed, to be popularized all over China.

Acute fluid collections is common in patients with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). But the treatment for this is controversial. In this study, the investigators aim to evaluate the different effects of three different treatment protocols which is repeated aspiration, continuous catheter drainage and conservative treatment. The investigators suppose repeated aspiration could not only solve acute fluid collections, but also lower the rate of pancreatic infection.

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is an inflammatory condition of the pancreas following the activated pancreatic enzymes induced by varied causes, with or without other organ(s) dysfunction. The production and release of inflammatory factors is generally considered as the key factor of pathogenesis. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are the most commonly applied agents for inflammatory diseases. A series studies have proved that indomethacin can reduce the risk of post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), but high-quality evidence is still lacking in the field of effectiveness of NSAIDs to treat, rather than prevent, other types of AP. Majority of animal experiments showed that NSAIDs had protective effects for organ functions, but the results of several preliminary clinical studies were inconsistent. Randomized controlled trials are eagerly awaited to elucidate its effects on AP.

Magnetic anastomosis has been attempted in biliary and intestinal reconstruction. Based on our initial experience, the investigators have successfully utilized magnetic anastomosis for biliojejunostomy and pancreaticojejunostomy during pancreaticoduodenectomy. The current study was to design a prospective and case-control study with utilization of magnetic compression anastomosis for pancreaticojejunostomy and biliojejunostomy in Whipple's procedure versus traditional hand-sewn technique on the postoperative morbidity, such as biliary/pancreatic fistula, hemorrhage, anastomotic stenosis, etc. In addition, the investigators are seeking to assess the safety and formation of the anastomosis by magnetic technique.

Acute pancreatitis is the most common and feared complication of ERCP, occurring after 1% to 30% of procedures. Since 2012, a multicenter RCT was published in NEJM, indomethacin use in high risk patients was considered a "standard" method to prevent PEP. However, the risk factors of PEP is not fully clear. Additionally, the complication of NSAID use lead to some serious physical problem bleeding. Therefore, the exclusive criteria for limiting the NSAID use is including allergy， gastrointestinal haemorrhage ，presence of coagulopathy or received anticoagulation therapy. Previous study showed that another natural compound, resveratrol, owns similar biological effect with NSAID. Firstly, it could inhibit the inflammatory response on in vivo model through inhibition of COX and IL-6 etc. Secondly, it could not influence the level of platelet and coagulation, which means safer than NSAID. Thirdly, numerous studies showed that resveratrol could effectively the progression of severe acute pancreatitis. According to data, we design the project. The purpose of this study is to determine whether oral resveratrol pre-ERCP is effective on control of Post-ERCP pancreatitis.

Systemic Inflammatory response syndrome(SIRS) is common in patients with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) in early stage. Continuous Blood Purification (CBP), especially Continuous Veno-Venous Hemofiltration(CVVH) is proved to have an important role in SAP patients to control SIRS. But the detail treatment for this is controversial. In this study, the investigators aim to evaluate the different effects of three kinds of treatment protocols which is CVVH 6h,continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration(CVVHDF) 6h,CVVH 10h for first three days in SAP patients. Compare the vital sign, SIRS parameters, and others between these three groups. This study will try to find a better way for CBP in patients with SAP
