Background/aims: Pancreatic injury after blunt abdominal trauma is always associated with a high morbidity and mortality. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of a grading-therapeutic strategy and to highlight various challenges in the management of blunt pancreatic injury.
Methodology: All cases of pancreatic injury after blunt abdominal trauma from January 1, 2008, to December 30, 2012, were retrospectively reviewed, and the clinical data were collected.
Results: Ninety-five patients formed the group, out of which 76 (80.0%) undertook operative management, 19 (20.0%) undertook non-operative management; 18 underwent ERCP for pancreatic duct evaluation, with 7 (38.9%) undergoing nasopancreatic drain placement and 4 (22.2%) transpapillary pancreatic duct stent placement. Operation was performed for patients according to pancreatic injury grading and results of intra-operative selective pancreatography. Twenty-three (30.3%) developed various pancreatic-related complications.
Conclusions: Grading-therapeutic strategy for blunt pancreatic injury based on condition of the pancreatic duct could be performed safely and effectively. It not only expanded the scope of non-operative management, but also preserved the normal pancreatic tissue.

Both acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease are risk factors for many outcomes of gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB). These are associated with higher mortality, longer hospitalisation, and greater need for transfusion in case of overt GIB. Our study aimed to further evaluate the role of kidney function in several clinical outcomes of GIB patients.

Ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is a major obstacle in liver transplantation, especially with steatotic donor livers. Dysbiosis of the gut microbiota has been implicated in modulating IRI, and plays a pivotal role in regulating host inflammatory and immune responses, but its specific role in liver transplantation IRI remains unclear. This study explores whether can mitigate IRI and its underlying mechanisms.

Although islet transplantation is effective in reducing severe hypoglycemia events and controlling blood glucose in patients with type 1 diabetes, maintaining islet graft function long-term is a significant challenge. Islets from multiple donors are often needed to achieve insulin independence, and even then, islet function can decline over time when metabolic demand exceeds islet mass/insulin secretory capacity. We previously developed a method that calculated the islet graft function index (GFI) and a patient's predicted insulin requirement (PIR) using mathematical nonlinear regression.

Organ failure (OF) is a sinister development in the clinical course of acute pancreatitis, and its prediction is crucial for triaging the patient. Persistent systemic inflammatory response syndrome and raised interleukin-6 levels have a good predictive accuracy. Pathophysiology involves the release of damage-associated molecular patterns as a consequence of pancreatic injury, recruitment of inflammatory cells, and the release of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines causing cytokine storm.
