Abstract null null Background/objectives null While pain is the predominant symptom of chronic pancreatitis (CP), a subset of patients may experience a painless course. This systematic review aimed to determine the prevalence of primary painless CP. null null null Methods null MEDLINE (PubMed), EMBASE and Web of Science Core Collection databases were searched for published studies through September 15, 2020 that included at least 10 consecutive patients with CP and which reported the number with...
Abstract null null Objective null Post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) pancreatitis (PEP) is the most common complication following ERCP and the mechanism is not fully understood. This study evaluated the changes in the inflammatory response, cellular apoptosis, and tight junction integrity in a rat model of pancreatitis to explore the underlying mechanism. null null null Methods null PEP was induced in rats by retrograde biliopancreatic ductal infusion of contrast agents o...
Abstract null null Background null Mortality in infected pancreatic necrosis (IPN) is dynamic over the course of the disease, with type and timing of interventions as well as persistent organ failure being key determinants. The timing of infection onset and how it pertains to mortality is not well defined. null null null Objectives null To determine the association between mortality and the development of early IPN. null null null Methods null International multicenter retrospective cohort study...

Abstract null null Background null Contrast-enhanced harmonic endoscopic ultrasound (CEH-EUS) can be used for the differential diagnosis of pancreatic lesions by evaluating microvascular circulation and patterns of contrast enhancement. However, routine use of CEH-EUS is limited by its high cost, the lack of contrast agent availability and the absence of expertise with this technique. Directional eFLOW (D-eFLOW) (Aloka Co., Ltd., Tokyo, Japan) was introduced as a new high-definition modality tha...

Abstract null null Background null Whether coeliac axis resection (CAR) results from tumour topography or a prognostic factor for distal pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains unclear. We aimed to compare the clinicopathological data between distal pancreatectomy with en bloc CAR (DP-CAR) and distal pancreatectomy plus splenectomy (DP-S) and analyse the prognostic factors. null null null Methods null We retrospectively analysed clinicopathological data from 102 patients who underwent di...
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES Within the last two decades, an increased incidence of acute pancreatitis (AP) has been reported in childhood, with some progressing to acute recurrent pancreatitis (ARP) or chronic pancreatitis (CP). Training future pancreatologists is critical to improve the care of children with pancreatic diseases. There are no studies to assess whether the pediatric gastroenterology (GI) fellowship curriculum prepares specialists to care for children with pancreatic diseases. METHODS A...
BACKGROUND /Objectives: Although the presence of lymph node metastasis (LNM) defines malignant potential, preoperative prediction of LNM has not been established for non-functional pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasm (NF-PNEN). We sought to develop a prediction system using only preoperatively available factors that would stratify the risk of LNM for NF-PNEN. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed patients who underwent R0/1 resection of NF-PNEN at Kyoto University (2007-2019) and the University of ...
Pancreatitis is a debilitating disease involving inflammation and fibrosis of the exocrine pancreas. Recurrent or chronic forms of pancreatitis are a significant risk factor for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. While genetic factors have been identified for both pathologies, environmental stresses play a large role in their etiology. All cells have adapted mechanisms to handle acute environmental stress that alters energy demands. A common pathway involved in the stress response involves endopl...
Abstract null null Objectives null For benign pancreatic duct strictures/obstructions (BPDS/O), endoscopic ultrasonography-guided pancreatic drainage (EUS-PD) is performed when endoscopic transpapillary pancreatic drainage (ETPD) fails. We clarified the clinical outcomes for patients with BPDS/O who underwent endoscopic interventions through the era where EUS-PD was available. null null null Methods null Forty-five patients with BPDS/O who underwent ETPD/EUS-PD were included. We retrospectively ...

Abstract null null Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the deadliest types of cancer, and the increasing incidence of PDAC may be related to the prevalence of obesity. Physical activity (PA), a method known to mitigate obesity by increasing total energy expenditure, also modifies multiple cellular pathways associated with cancer hallmarks. Epidemiologic evidence has shown that PA can lower the risk of developing a variety of cancers, reduce some of the detrimental side effects of t...
