Recurrence of Acute Gallstone Pancreatitis and Relationship with Cholecystectomy or Endoscopic Sphincterotomy

2004

To determine the prevalence of recurrence of gallstone pancreatitis, its clinical features, and the presence of prognostic factors of recurrence.From January 1, 2000 to August 31, 2003, 233 patients admitted with acute gallstone pancreatitis (AGP) were prospectively studied. Patients were divided into two groups: recurrent and nonrecurrent group. Clinical, analytical, radiological, prognostic parameters, and severity (Atlanta criteria) were assessed, along with the performance of cholecystectomy or endoscopic sphincterotomy (ES). Clinical features of recurrence were analyzed. Univariate (chi(2), Student's t-test) and multivariate tests were performed. Statistical significance was assumed if…

Association of cathepsin B gene polymorphisms with tropical calcific pancreatitis

2006

Background and aims: Tropical calcific pancreatitis (TCP) is a type of chronic pancreatitis unique to countries in the tropics. Mutations in pancreatic secretory trypsin inhibitor (SPINK1) rather than cationic trypsinogen (PRSS1) explain the disease in only 50% of TCP patients. As cathepsin B (CTSB) is known to activate cationic trypsinogen, we attempted to understand the role of CTSB mutations in TCP. Evidence of epistatic interaction was investigated with the previously associated N34S SPINK1 allele, a variant considered to be a modifier rather than a true susceptibility allele. Subjects and methods: We sequenced the coding region of CTSB gene in 51 TCP patients and 25 controls and furthe…

Pancreatic T cell protein-tyrosine phosphatase deficiency ameliorates cerulein-induced acute pancreatitis.

2014

Background Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a common clinical problem whose incidence has been progressively increasing in recent years. Onset of the disease is trigged by intra-acinar cell activation of digestive enzyme zymogens that induce autodigestion, release of pro-inflammatory cytokines and acinar cell injury. T-cell protein tyrosine phosphatase (TCPTP) is implicated in inflammatory signaling but its significance in AP remains unclear. Results In this study we assessed the role of pancreatic TCPTP in cerulein-induced AP. TCPTP expression was increased at the protein and messenger RNA levels in the early phase of AP in mice and rats. To directly determine whether TCPTP may have a causal rol…

Redox signaling in acute pancreatitis

2015

Acute pancreatitis is an inflammatory process of the pancreatic gland that eventually may lead to a severe systemic inflammatory response. A key event in pancreatic damage is the intracellular activation of NF-κB and zymogens, involving also calcium, cathepsins, pH disorders, autophagy, and cell death, particularly necrosis. This review focuses on the new role of redox signaling in acute pancreatitis. Oxidative stress and redox status are involved in the onset of acute pancreatitis and also in the development of the systemic inflammatory response, being glutathione depletion, xanthine oxidase activation, and thiol oxidation in proteins critical features of the disease in the pancreas. On th…

Impairment of PGC-1 Alpha Up-Regulation Enhances Nitrosative Stress in the Liver during Acute Pancreatitis in Obese Mice

2020

Acute pancreatitis is an inflammatory process of the pancreatic tissue that often leads to distant organ dysfunction. Although liver injury is uncommon in acute pancreatitis, obesity is a risk factor for the development of hepatic complications. The aim of this work was to evaluate the role of PGC-1&alpha

2015

Aims: The analysis of laparoscopic operations in treatment of chronic pancreatitis. Patients & methods: In our clinic there were performed 32 laparoscopic interventions for chronic pancreatitis and its complications. Results: Laparoscopic interventions were performed in 32 cases: cystogastrostomy10, cystoduodenostomy2, cystojejunostomy3, cystectomy1, longitudinal laparoscopic pancreaticojejunostomy 2, the Beger procedure without proximal pancreatoenterostomy 2 and the Berne modification 10. In all the cases of laparoscopic procedures the communication of a cystwith the main pancreatic duct were confirmed by preoperative biochemical and cytologic analysis of cystic fluid taken under the ultr…

Inkarzeration eines Pankreassteinfragmentes im distalen Pankreasgang nach Therapie durch extrakorporale Stoßwellenlithotripsie (ESWL)

2001

A partial or total absence of stones in pancreaticolithiasis therapy can be reached by using ESWL. We report on a patient who happened to get an incarceration of a fragment in the distal pancreatic duct after having been treated by ESWL without a previous sphincterotomy to the ductus Wirsungianus. This emphasizes the recommendation to carry out a papillotomy of the pancreatic main duct before applying ESWL to pancreatic stones.

Biliary Pancreatitis: Endoscopic Diagnostic and Therapeutic Techniques

1987

Acute pancreatitis constitutes one of the most hazardous emergencies in clinical gastroenterology. Although the diagnosis “biliary pancreatitis” is often used in clinical practice for patients presenting with concrements in the biliary tree or impacted in the papillary orifice [17, 32], the common phrase “biliary pancreatitis” has not so far been exactly defined. Patients with cholecystolithiasis may be included in this group, as well as patients with dysfunction of the sphincter of Oddi. Some authors have reported that juxtapapillary diverticula increase the risk for development of biliary pancreatitis [28].

Expression of HIP/PAP mRNA in Human Hepatoma Cell Lines

2002

The present study attempts to shed more light on the role of hepatocarcinoma-intestine-pancreas/pancreatic associated protein (HIP/PAP) in hepatoma cells. We initially examined, by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), the HIP/PAP transcripts present in human hepatoma cell lines of different origins and with different grades of differentiation and genetic profiles. We also used DNA sequencing analysis to investigate the structure of the HIP/PAP gene. Further investigation is necessary to define the role of HIP/PAP during the development of human hepatocellular carcinoma and to ascertain whether the use of different transcripts is helpful in regulating HIP/PAP expression …
