For a long time, the etiology and pathogenesis of acute pancreatitis has been intensively investigated worldwide, but the pathogenetic theories are controversial. The integrity of the pancreatic duct-acinar system might play an important role in the pathogenesis of this disease. DATA SOURCES: Web of Science and PubMed databases were searched for published studies (between January 1966 and June 2009) to identify relevant articles using the keywords 'acinar hyperstimulation', 'pathogenesis', 'acute pancreatitis', 'pancreatic duct-acinar system', and 'pancreatic duct pressure'. Most of the relevant articles were reviewed. RESULTS: From critical reading of the relevant articles, we found that the underlying mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of acute pancreatitis are still under debate and ill-understood. On the basis of the relevant studies, we propose a hypothesis for the pathogenesis of acute pancreatitis, in which the integrity of the pancreatic duct-acinar system plays an essential role in the onset and progression of various forms of the disease. CONCLUSIONS: In our hypothesis, pancreatic duct obstruction and hyperstimulation of the exocrine pancreas are preconditions for the onset of acute pancreatitis; under the common conditions of pancreatic duct obstruction and acinar hyperstimulation, acute pancreatitis arises and develops. This may be an important common pathophysiological mechanism causing various forms of acute pancreatitis. (Hepntobiliary Pancreat Dis Int 2010; 9: 242-247)展开更多

Early detection and aggressive treatment of PGAP might improve the prognosis.展开更多

METHODS: P-GW was performed in 113 patients in whom cannulation of the bile duct was difficult. The success rate of biliary cannulation, the frequency and risk factors of post-ERCP pancreatitis, and the frequency of spontaneous migration of the pancreatic duct stent were investigated. RESULTS: Selective biliary cannulation with P-GW was achieved in 73% of the patients. Post-ERCP pancreatitis occurred in 12% (14 patients: mild, 13; moderate, 1). Prophylactic pancreatic stenting was attempted in 59% of the patients. Of the 64 patients who successfully underwent stent placement, three developed mild pancreatitis (4.7%). Of the 49 patients without stent placement, 11 developed pancreatitis (22%: mild, 10; moderate, 1). Of the five patients in whom stent placement was unsuccessful, two developed mild pancreatitis. Univariate and multivariate analyses revealed no pancreatic stenting to be the only significant risk factor for pancreatitis. Spontaneous migration of the stent was observed within two weeks in 92% of the patients who had undergone pancreatic duct stenting.CONCLUSION: P-GW is useful for achieving selective biliary cannulation. Pancreatic duct stenting after P-GW can reduce the incidence of post-ERCP pancreatitis, which requires evaluation by means of prospective randomized controlled trials.展开更多

Of these patients, we enrolled all 121 patients that were diagnosed with post endoscopic retrograde PEP. Fourteen of 121 patients diagnosed as s PEP were analyzed.RESULTS Forty-one patients had contrast media remaining in the pancreatic duct after completion of ERCP. Seventy-one patients had abdominal pain within three hours after ERCP. These were significant differences for s PEP(P < 0.05). The median of Body mass index, the median time for ERCP, the median serum amylase level of the next day, past histories including drinking and smoking, past history of pancreatitis, sphincter of Oddi dysfunction, whether emergency or not, expertise of ERCP procedure, diverticulum nearby Vater papilla, whether there was sphincterotomy or papillary balloon dilation, pancreatic duct cannulation, use of intraductal ultrasonography enforcement, and transpapillary biopsies had no significant differences with s PEP.CONCLUSION Contrast media remaining in the pancreatic duct and the appearance of abdominal pain within three hours after ERCP were risk factors of s PEP.展开更多
