Objective To investigate the mechanism of gastrointestinal motility disorder of severe acute pancreatitis （SAP） in rats. Methods SD rats were randomly divided into 2 groups：sham operation （SO） group （n=16） and SAP group （n=16）. The gastric antrum interdigestive myoelectric complex （IMC） of rat was recorded by using bipolar silver electrode recording， the concentration of serum motilin （MTL） and vasoactive intestinal peptide （VIP） were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA） method， and determined the pancreatic pathology score. Results Compared with SO group， the concentration of serum MTL obvious decreased and the concentration of VIP obvious rised in SAP group （P＜0.01）. Compared with SO group， the time of IMC cycle， andⅠand Ⅱ phase were extended， and time of Ⅲ phase was shortened， also the amplitude and frequency of peak electric of Ⅲ phase were declined in SAP group （P＜0.01）. And the concentration of MTL in SAP group showed positive correlation with the time of Ⅲ phase of IMC （r=0.967， P＜0.01）， the concentration of VIP in SAP group showed negative correlation with the time of Ⅲ phase of IMC （r=-0.592， P＜0.05）. The pancreatic organization pathological score in SAP group was higher than that in SO group （P＜0.01）. Conclusion There is gastrointestinal motility disorder in SAP rats， furthermore， it may induce gastrointestinal motility disorder through effecting the gastrointestinal smooth muscle electrical activity.

Objective To study the expression of thymidine phosporylase (TP) and the counts of lymph vessels in pancreatic cancer and chronic pancreatitis tissues, and to explore their clinicopathologic significances and correlation in the course of pancreatic cancer. Methods SP immunohistochemical method was used to detetct the expression of TP and the locations of lymph vessels on the routinely paraffin-embedded sections of the specimens from 51 cases pancreatic cancer and 10 cases of chronic pancreatitis. Results The positive rate of TP and the counts of lymph vessels were significantly higher (P＜0.05 and P＜0.01 respectively) in pancreatic cancer 〔54.9%, (12.5±4.3)/HP〕 than those in chronic pancreatitis 〔20.0%，(5.2±2.4)/HP〕. The positive rate of TP and the counts of lymph vessels were significantly lower （P＜0.05, P＜0.01） in well-differentiated adenocarcinoma cases and cases without metastasis compared with poor-differentiated adenocarcinoma cases and cases with metastasis. The counts of lymph vessels were significantly higher in the positive cases of TP than those in the negative ones in pancreatic cancer 〔(13.8±3.4)/HP vs (10.9±3.2)/HP〕, P＜0.01.Conclusion The expression of TP and counts of lymph vessels might be important markers reflecting the progression, biological behaviors, metastatic status and prognosis of pancreatic cancer. TP might promote lympoangiogenesis in pancreatic cancer tissues.
Objective To systematically assess the efficacy and clinical significance of antibiotic prophylaxis in severe acute pancreatitis (SAP), so as to provide references for its rational clinical application. Methods For collecting the randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about antibiotic prophylaxis in SAP, a search was conducted in MEDLINE, EMbase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, CBM and CNKI from the date of their establishment to August, 2010. After the clinical studies meeting the inclusive criteria were extracted and their quality was assessed. Meta-analysis was conduced by using RevMan 5.0 software. Results Twelve RCTs were included with a total of 777 patients. The results of Meta-analysis showed compared with the control group, the antibiotic prophylaxis group was not associated with a statistically signi?cant reduction in mortality (RR=0.75, 95%CI 0.50 to 1.12), in the incidence of infected pancreatic necrosis (RR 0.82, 95%CI 0.63 to 1.09), in surgical interventions (RR=0.97, 95%CI 0.74 to 1.26), and in the incidence of nonpancreatic infections (RR=0.73, 95%CI 0.48 to 1.10). Conclusion Antibiotic prophylaxis for SAP does not reduce mortality, infected necrosis, or surgical intervention.
In recent years, the incidence of hyperlipidemia acute pancreatitis (HLAP) has been increasing year by year, but its pathogenesis has not been completely clear. There are many clinical treatment methods for HLAP, such as lipid-lowering drugs, low molecular weight heparin, insulin, and plasma exchange. Actively reducing serum triglyceride is the core of treatment. Plasma exchange can quickly and effectively reduce the level of triglyceride, and its application in the treatment of HLAP is gradually increasing. This article reviews the recent advances in the pathogenesis, clinical characteristics, diagnosis, and treatment of HLAP, focusing on the mechanism, indications, timing, and disadvantages of plasma exchange therapy for HLAP.
ObjectiveTo explore the mechanism of liver capillary permeability in rats with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). MethodsTotally 40 healthy Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into two groups: sham operation (SO) group and SAP group, SAP group were divided into four subgroups according to sampling time (3 h， 6 h, 12 h， and 24 h). The model was established by injecting 5% sodium taurocholate retrogradely into pancreaticobiliary ducts. The changes of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), pathohistology, and tissue moisture content were compared among different groups. Liver occludin protein expression was analyzed by immunohistochemistry method, and occludin mRNA was measured by RT-PCR. ResultsThere was no significant pathological changes of liver tissue in the SO group. Typical pathological changes of SAP， such as interstitial edema, vasodilatation, infiltration of inflammatory cells, were found in the SAP group. TNF-α level and tissue moisture content of each phase increased gradually, and the highest level appeared at 24 h within the observing period. The two above indicators at different time point in subgroups were significantly different from each other and higher than those in the SO group (Plt;0.05)． In the SAP group, the expression of occludin and it’s mRNA began to decrease at 3 h to the bottom at 6 h and rebounced significantly at 12 h, 24 h compared with those at 6 h (Plt;0.05), but still lower than those in the SO group (Plt;0.05). ConclusionUpregulation in TNF-α and subsequent downregulation in occludin protein and mRNA maybe bly related to the severe liver capillary permeability in rats with SAP.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the therapic efficacy for severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) during different periods. MethodsAccording to internalized standard, 234 patients with SAP admitted to this hospital from January 1986 to October 2009 were included, which were divided into two stages based on the time of admitting to this hospital. The first stage named prior operation group was from January 1986 to August 1998 (n=117), the second stage named individual treatment group was from September 1998 to October 2009 (n=117). There was comparability in demography and clinic between two groups. The prior operation group primarily underwent laparotomy and medication, and the individual treatment group underwent multiple combined therapies. These indexes were compared between two groups: hospital stay, cure rate, and mortality; the incidences of pancreatic pseudocyst, pancreatic and peripancreatic abscess, pancreatic encephalopathy, cardiac insufficiency, acute renal failure (ARF), acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), and shock. The efficacies for early treatment, ascites, biliary pancreatitis, and pancreatic and peripancreatic complications were compared two groups by stratified analysis. ResultsCompared with the prior operation group, the hospital stay was shorter (Plt;0.05), cure rate was higher (Plt;0.001), and mortality was lower in the individual treatment group (Plt;0.001). During the treatments, the incidences of pancreatic pseudocyst, pancreatic and peripancreatic abscess, pancreatic encephalopathy, cardiac insufficiency, ARF, ARDS, and shock in the individual treatment group were lower than those in the prior operation group (Plt;0.05). According to the stratified analysis, the efficacies for early treatment, ascites, biliary pancreatitis, and pancreatic and peripancreatic complications in the individual treatment group were better than those in the prior operation group (Plt;0.001). ConclusionIn recent years, the change of therapeutic mode significantly improves the treatment efficacy for SAP.
Objective To explore the effects of ulinastatin (UTI) on renal apoptosis and expression of bcl-2 in rats with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). Methods Sixty rats weighing 250-300 g were randomized divided into 3 groups: pseudo-operation group (SO group, n=20), SAP group (n=20) and UTI treated group (UTI group, n=20). The model of SAP was established by retrograde injection of 5% sodium taurocholate solution into the biliopancreatic duct in the rats. Serum Cr and BUN were determined. The left kidneys were resected for light and electronic microscopic study. Renal cell apoptosis was determined by TUNEL. Expression of bcl-2 was detected by immunohistochemical staining of SABC. Results Serum Cr, BUN, renal cell apoptotic index and bcl-2 expression were markedly increased in SAP group compared with SO group （P＜0.05， P＜0.01）, Renal tissue injuries were aggravated in SAP group under light and electronic microscopic study as well. In UTI group, serum Cr, BUN and renal cell apoptotic index were decreased significantly while the expression of bcl-2 increased remarkably and renal tissue injuries relieved compared with SAP group （P＜0.05）. Positive correlations were found between the renal cell apoptotic index and BUN as well as Cr (r=0.807, P＜0.05; r=0.812, P＜0.05). Conclusion The protective effect of UTI on SAP renal injury is probably through increasing bcl-2 expression and decreasing apoptosis.
ObjectiveTo explore the risk factors which affect the severity of acute pancreatitis by using machine learning algorithms. MethodsA retrospective review was conducted of medical records from 262 patients hospitalized for acute pancreatitis at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University between October 2022 and February 2024. Patients were classified according to the revised edition Atlanta Classification into mild cases (n=146) and non-mild cases (n=116). LASSO analysis was employed to identify predictors for non-mild acute pancreatitis. Six machine learning algorithms, including extreme gradient boosting, random forest, logistic regression, decision tree, support vector machine, and K-nearest neighbors were integrated to construct predictive models. Model performance was evaluated by comparing the following metrics: area under the curve (AUC), sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, F1 score, calibration curves, and decision curves. ResultsThrough LASSO regression analysis, six feature variables, including heart rate, white blood cell count, neutrophil count, C-reactive protein, albumin, and calcium ion were selected to train and test machine learning models. Results showed that extreme gradient boosting achieved the highest AUC value of 0.93 on the test set, making it the optimal model. The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, Brier score, and F1 score of the extreme gradient boosting model were 0.97, 0.70, 0.85, 0.108, and 0.84. ConclusionThe prediction model developed using extreme gradient boosting has high clinical utility value, helps to predict the severity of acute pancreatitis at an early stage and is valuable in guiding clinical decision-making.
ObjectiveTo investigate the therapeutic effect of B ultrasound-guided percutaneous catheter drainage combined with veno-venous hemofiltration at different time points and multi-site in treatment of hyperlipidemic severe acute pancreatitis (HL-SAP). MethodsThe clinical data of 34 patients with HL-SAP initially underwent B ultrasound-guided percutaneous catheter drainage combined with veno-venous hemofiltration at different time points and multi-site from January 2010 to June 2014 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the different of the onset to treatment time, 34 cases were divided into the≤24 h group and > 24 h group. The serum platelet activating factor (PAF) and triglyceride (TG) at the time of admission and after admission 1, 3, 5, 7, and 10 days were detected, and the hospitalization time, mortality, and the rate of conversion to open surgery were observed. ResultsThe levels of PAF and TG in the both groups tended to gradually decrease with different degrees, were significantly lower than that the before treatment (P < 0.05), and the decline of PAF and TG in≤24 h group were more significant than > 24 h group. The hospitalization time, mortality, and the rate of conversion to open surgery in the≤24 h group were significantly lower than those of the > 24 h group (P < 0.05). ConclusionThe early using of B ultrasound-guided percutaneous catheter drainage combined with veno-venous hemofiltration at different time points and multi-site would have a beneficial impact on the management of HL-SAP and complications.
