Antisecretory therapy is an important and integral component of complex therapy of acute pancreatitis. The clinical estimation of efficiency of various antisecterory preparations, sandostatin and famotidin (quamatel) was made in treatment of acute pancreatitis at an early stage of the disease. The results of the research have shown that the efficiency of sandostatin and famotidin (quamatel) in treatment of not severe (mild and medium) forms of acute pancreatitis is approximately identical. But the application of famotidin (quamatel) is economically more favorable (8.3 times cheaper than sandostatin). In treatment of severe acute pancreatitis of paramount importance are the terms of the beginning of antisecretory therapy, the optimum term being the first day of the disease. The preparation of choice is sandostatin, the preparation of reserve--famotidin (quamotel). The duration of a medical course of treatment is the first three days from the beginning of the disease. The application of antisecretory preparations in question is less effective when used in later terms.

Unlabelled: Di(2-ethhylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) is a common plastic rubberizer. DEHP leaches from plastic matrices and is under increasing scrutiny as numerous studies have linked it to negative human health manifestations. Coxsackievirus B3 (CVB) is a human pathogen that typically causes subclinical infections but can sometimes cause severe diseases such as pancreatitis, myocarditis, and meningoencephalitis.

Acute pancreatitis (AP), induced by tetracycline, a widely used antibiotic, poses significant clinical and toxicological challenges, yet its molecular mechanisms remain unclear. This study aims to promote drug toxicology strategies for the effective investigation of the putative toxicity and potential molecular mechanisms of antibiotic drugs through the study of tetracycline in AP. Using the SwissTargetPrediction, SEA Search, Super-PRED, GeneCards, Drugbank, Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM), and Therapeutic Target Database (TTD), we identified 259 potential targets associated with tetracycline exposure and AP.

Pancreatic cancer remains one of the most lethal forms of cancer. Currently, there is a lack of effective drug treatments for pancreatic cancer. However, as a newly discovered form of non-apoptotic cell death, ferroptosis has garnered increasing attention in relation to pancreatic cancer.

: Drawing upon over twenty years of clinical experience in endoscopic and endosonographic procedures, along with comprehensive literature research, we present an overview on EUS-guided pancreatography and pancreatic duct drainage (EUS-PD) as an alternative approach, encompassing indications, procedural methods, and outcomes, including complications and the success rate. Narrative review. (corner points): EUS-PD is indicated for cases, for which conventional methods are ineffective due to altered abdominal anatomy of the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract, such as congenital or postoperative conditions that prevent access to the papilla or pancreatoenteric anastomosis.

Pancreaticobiliary maljunction (PBMJ) has a long common channel (CC) that causes pancreaticobiliary reflux (PBR), which has been implicated in gallstones, cholangiocarcinoma, and pancreatitis. By contrast, PBR has occurred in cases with normal and longer CCs than normal but shorter than PBMJ. This pathophysiology has been primarily reported in adults and rarely in children.
