... that pulmonary injury in acute pancreatitis is mediated by PMN-derived matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9). This study was conducted to evaluate the ability of the broad-spectrum MMP inhibitor doxycycline to prevent secondary pulmonary injury in acute pancreatitis. Methods: Eighteen rats were randomized...

...) RNA, genotype 1b. Here, we describe SVR in a 67-year-old woman whose PEG-IFN/RBV combination therapy for chronic hepatitis C with a high viral load of serum HCV RNA, genotype 1b, was discontinued after 16 weeks because of the onset of PEG-IFN plus RBV-induced acute pancreatitis. Among viral factors...

...), or cudgel type (n = 8). In these groups, 49, 0, 27, 82, and 87% of the APD were patent, respectively. The patency of the APD in the patients with acute pancreatitis was 6% (1 of 17). The difference in patency between this group and the control group was significant (p < 0.01). The patency of the APD...

Mancini Purpose: We evaluated the proliferative response of lymphocytes to phytohemagglutinin P (PHA P), concanavalin A (Con A), and pokeweed mitogen (PWM) during the course of acute pancreatitis. Patients and Methods: Sixty consecutive...

...F. Marotta; T.C. Geng; C.C. Wu; G. Barbi Two-hundred Wistar rats were allocated to 4 groups. The groups, 3 representing our acute pancreatitis model induced by intrabiliary injection of a trypsin/enterokinase mixture, were studied as follows: (A) no treatment; (B) given a daily 30-ml enema with 20...

...Kai Fu; Michael P. Sarras, Jr.; Robert C. De Lisle; Glen K. Andrews The pancreatitis-associated proteins (PAPs) are major pancreatic secretory proteins during acute pancreatitis. However, mechanisms of regulation of PAP gene expression are poorly understood, and there is a lack of information...

... (PAP) in humans or rats, which are absent in the normal gland but synthesised during acute pancreatitis. PAPs are pancreatic secretory proteins, their mRNA were cloned and sequenced and the sequence of encoded preproteins of 175 amino acids were deduced. The PAP expression increased as a function...

...M.W. Büchler; M. Binder; H. Friess; P. Malfertheiner The pathophysiology of acute pancreatitis remains controversial. Activation of digestive enzymes in the pancreas may play an important role in the course of this disease. Therefore, the inhibition of enzyme secretion may be a possible treatment...

...M. Binder; W. Uhl; H. Friess; P. Malfertheiner; M.W. Büchler Acute necrotizing pancreatitis is still associated with high morbidity and mortality. In this prospective clinical trial, we analyzed the effect of octreotide in patients with acute pancreatitis. Eight patients received either 3 × 100, 3...

... CD4 (sCD4) and CD8 (sCD8). We evaluated the release of these glycoproteins in order to assess the activation of the cellular immune system during the course of acute pancreatitis. Thirty-five patients with acute pancreatitis (22 M, 13 F, mean age 64 years, range 16-97) were studied. The diagnosis...

...M.J. McMahon Discussion over the role of enzyme therapy in patients with acute pancreatitis is based upon theoretical considerations rather than hard data. In this respect, it differs little from most other treatments used in the management of acutepancreatitis, although, in the case of enzyme...
