Somatostatin, a hypothalamic peptide, suppresses hydrochloric acid-stimulated release of secretin, pancreatic flow rate, and bicarbonate and protein secretion in fasted, conscious dogs. It also reduces nonstimulated pancreatic exocrine secretion but does not affect basal secretin concentrations. Suppression of HCl-stimulated secretin release is complete, whereas pancreatic flow rate and bicarbonate and protein secretions are only partially inhibited. The action of somatostatin is rapid in onset and quickly reversible.

This review is devoted to internationally accepted diagnostic algorithms for complicated chronic pancreatitis (CP). In addition, the authors discuss interventional radiological and endoscopic diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, as well as their role in surgical approaches for this disease. Chronic pancreatitis is often diagnosed with severe symptoms following severe course of disease and complications.

Objective: To construct c-Met CAR-T cells secreting PD-1 antibodies to reduce immune inhibitory effect of tumor cells and enhance the efficacy of CAR-T cell therapy against pancreatic cancer.
Methods: Kaplan-Meier Plotter, GEPIA, and Timer 2.0 bioinformatics databases were used to analyze c-Met expression in pancreatic cancer and its correlation with survival and immune infiltration status.

Background: Ductal features alone may not offer high diagnostic sensitivity or most accurate disease severity of chronic pancreatitis (CP).
Purpose: Diagnose CP based on multiparametric MRI and MRCP features.
Study Type: Prospective.

Diagnosis of biliopancreatic cancers by the available serum tumor markers, imaging, and histopathological tissue specimen examination remains a challenge. Circulating cell-free DNA derived from matched pairs of secretin-stimulated duodenal fluid (DF) and plasma from 10 patients with biliopancreatic diseases and 8 control subjects was analyzed using AmpliSeq™ HD technology for Ion Torrent Next-Generation Sequencing to evaluate the potential of liquid biopsy with DF in biliopancreatic cancers. The median cfDNA concentration was greater in DF-derived than in plasma-derived samples.

Objectives: Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging with secretin stimulation (MR-PFTs) is a non-invasive test for pancreatic exocrine function based on assessing the volume of secreted bowel fluid in vivo. Adoption of this methodology in clinical care and research is largely limited to qualitative assessment of secretion as current methods for secretory response quantification require manual thresholding and segmentation of MR images, which can be time-consuming and prone to interrater variability. We describe novel software (PFTquant) that preprocesses and thresholds MR images, performs heuristic detection of non-bowel fluid objects, and provides the user with intuitive semi-automated tools to segment and quantify bowel fluid in a fast and robust manner.
