Background: The aim of this study was to summarize the optimal strategy for early feeding in patients with acute pancreatitis.
Methods: The search was undertaken in electronic databases, which compared early with delayed feeding in acute pancreatitis. The primary outcome was the length of hospital stay (LOHS).
Background: We previously reported that immune activation in the spinal dorsal horn contributes to pain induced by chronic pancreatitis (CP). Targeting immune response in the CNS may provide effective treatments for CP-induced pain. Recent findings demonstrate that resolvin D1 (RvD1) can potently dampen inflammatory pain.

Methods: Medical records of patients admitted for SAP in our hospital during January 2000 to November 2010 were retrospectively reviewed. Among those with infectious complications, time when infection was confirmed (TIC) and Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II) score on admission and at the time when infection was confirmed (APACHE II OTIC) were studied.
Background/aims: It is generally accepted that there is a correlation between obesity and poor outcome in acute pancreatitis (AP); however, the relationship between overweight and the prognosis of AP is unknown. The aim of this study was to determine the correlation between overweight and the prognosis of AP.
Methods: MEDLINE and PubMed were searched using the terms 'acute pancreatitis', 'obesity', 'overweight', and 'body mass index' ('BMI').
