Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) is a common clinical condition characterized by acute abdominal symptoms. Octreotide (OCT) is a commonly prescribed treatment for acute pancreatitis (AP). Recent research shows that pyroptosis and intestinal homeostasis significantly contribute to the progression of AP.

Objective: The gut is involved in the development of acute pancreatitis (AP). Increased focus is being given to the role of gut microbiota in the pathogenesis of AP. Nevertheless, there is currently no available evidence regarding the composition of fungal microorganisms in the intestines of patients with AP.

Article Synopsis
  • Cholecystectomy, a surgery for treating gallstones, may lead to an increased risk of colorectal cancer (CRC) in patients, possibly linked to changes in gut microbiota.
  • A study involving 30 post-cholecystectomy patients and 28 healthy controls analyzed mucosal biopsy samples using advanced sequencing techniques to examine the bacterial communities.
  • The findings revealed that older post-cholecystectomy patients had different gut microbiota compositions and higher levels of certain beneficial bacteria, suggesting potential implications for CRC treatment and gastrointestinal issues following surgery.

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is accompanied by gut microbiota dysbiosis. However, the composition of the pancreatic and ileal microbiota associated with AP is still unknown. This study aims to examine the alterations in the microbial composition of the pancreas and ileum in the context of experimental acute pancreatitis, as well as explore the potential interplay between these two regions.

Background: Vitamin B6 is an essential water-soluble vitamin for humans. It is often used to prevent a variety of neuropathies, relieve vomiting, and relieve symptoms such as hand and foot neuritis.

Aim: To evaluate whether vitamin B6 can alleviate the adverse reactions caused by the quadruple anti-Helicobacter pylori treatment regimen containing minocycline and metronidazole.

Objective: The small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) in acute pancreatitis correlates with the severity of the disease. However, corresponding studies on the microbial composition of the duodenal mucosa of patients are uncommon.

Methods: Duodenal mucosal biopsies were collected by gastroscopy from 16 patients with mild acute pancreatitis (the Ap group) and 16 healthy individuals (the control group) and subjected to histological studies as well as bacterial 16S rRNA gene sequencing.
