Aim: To evaluate the possibilities of post-processing of multidetector computed tomography (CT) results in the non-invasive diagnosis of pancreatic fibrosis (PF).
Materials And Methods: The study included 165 patients aged 57.91±13.
Article Synopsis
- Pancreatic fibrosis (PF) is key in chronic pancreatitis and this study examined its relationship with various factors in pancreatic specimens from 74 patients.
- Significant differences were found in imaging parameters (like unenhanced pancreas density and contrast enhancement ratio) based on fibrosis grades and inflammation indicators in the tissue.
- Blood levels of fibronectin and hyaluronic acid showed correlations with different aspects of fibrosis, suggesting that these and imaging parameters could aid in non-invasive diagnosis of PF.
Unlabelled: was to define the spectrum of genetic risk factors of chronic pancreatitis (CP) development in patients living in the European part of the Russian Federation.
Materials And Methods: The study group included 105 patients with CP, with the age of the disease onset under 40 years old (the average age of onset was 26.9 years).
Aim: The assessment of pancreatic resection volume influence on exo- and endocrine pancreatic functions.
Materials And Methods: The resected pancreatic volume influence was assessed in 47 patients: 31 (66%) patients after resections of pancreatic body and tail, and 16 (34%) patients after distal resections. The exocrine pancreatic function was assessed by pancreatic fecal elastase 1 as well as endocrine pancreatic function was assessed by C-peptide level measurement.
The article provides a case of primary diagnosis of IgG4-related disease in a patient with Burkitt lymphoma.
