Article Synopsis
- The modified pancreatitis activity scoring system (mPASS) is a proposed tool for assessing acute pancreatitis but lacks certain key indicators related to the disease's underlying processes.
- The study aims to identify a threshold for admission mPASS scores and develop a predictive model using radiomics and laboratory parameters to assess the severity of acute pancreatitis.
- Results indicate that a mPASS score of 112.5 can predict severe acute pancreatitis, and a combined model using radiomics and lab data shows promising accuracy in predicting disease activity and prognosis.
Materials: Patients with alcoholic acute pancreatitis in our hospital were recruited from Jan 2019 to July 2022 and divided into IAAP and RAAP groups. All patients underwent Contrast-Enhanced Computerized Tomography (CECT) or Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) after administration. Imaging manifestations, local complications, severity scores on the Modified CT/MR Severity Index (MCTSI/MMRSI), Extrapancreatic Inflammation on CT/MR (EPIC/M), clinical severity [Bedside Index for Severity in Acute Pancreatitis (BISAP) Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE-II)], and clinical prognosis were compared between the two groups.

However, peripheral corneal neovascularization after surgery hinders its application. This study aims to employ a culture system using allogenic limbal niche cells (LNCs) instead of mouse-derived 3T3 cells as a feeder layer that could relieve postoperative neovascularization.

Five hundred and six fresh fecal samples were collected from Lu'an, Fuyang, Suzhou, Chizhou, Wuhu, Chuzhou and Bozhou in Anhui Province, and detected firstly by direct smear microscopy. The microscopy-positive samples were amplified by nested PCR targeting the triosephosphate isomerase (TPI) and glutamate dehydrogenase(GDH) genes. The positive PCR products were sequenced in both directions.

Methods: The equation of no compressive normal Newtonian fluid electric osmotic motion are solved by using numerical value method.
Results: The results of numerical value calculation show that the flow rate of fluid of channel lines is confirm to the migration velocity of middle-small molecules in literature.
