Changes in serum total amylase, pancreas-specific isoamylase and pancreatic polypeptide activities were measured in six dogs following multiple intramuscular injections of xylazine at 0.5 mg/kg of body weight. The activities of those analytes did not change over 24 hours of study.

Postoperative Hyperamylasemia (POH) is an Early Predictor of Pancreatic Fistula Occurrence and Severity after Distal Pancreatectomy: Results from a European Multicentric Study.
Ann Surg
February 2024
Verona University Hospital, Department of General and Pancreatic Surgery (Verona, Italy).
Objectives: The aim of this international multicentric study is to characterize postoperative hyperamylasemia (POH) after distal pancreatectomy (DP), with particular focus on its relationship with postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) occurrence and severity.
Background: The clinical relevance of POH after DP and its relationship with the occurrence and severity of POPF have not been explored yet.
Methods: All patients undergoing DP for any indication between 2015 and 2021 at three European referral Centers for pancreatic surgery were retrospectively analyzed.
Rab7 localized on zymogen granules is involved in maturation but not in autophagy or regulated exocytosis in pancreatic acinar cells.

Article Synopsis
- Rab7 is important in cellular processes like autophagy and endocytosis, and its role in pancreatitis has been highlighted, but its function in exocytic pancreatic cells is still not fully understood.
- In a study using pancreas-specific Rab7 knockout mice, researchers found that Rab7 colocalizes with amylase in normal mice, indicating its role in zymogen granule (ZG) membranes but not in amylase secretion during stimulation.
- Electron microscopy showed that ZGs were smaller and more abundant in the absence of Rab7, suggesting that Rab7 is crucial for the maturation of these granules, but does not affect their autophagy or secretion in pancreatic acinar cells.
Pancreatic Ubap2 deletion regulates glucose tolerance, inflammation, and protection from cerulein-induced pancreatitis.

Ubiquitin-binding associated protein 2 (UBAP2) is reported to promote macropinocytosis and pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC) growth, however, its role in normal pancreatic function remains unknown. We addressed this knowledge gap by generating UBAP2 knockout (U2KO) mice under a pancreas-specific Cre recombinase (Pdx1-Cre). Pancreatic architecture remained intact in U2KO animals, but they demonstrated slight glucose intolerance compared to controls.

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is an inflammatory disease of the exocrine pancreas. Disruptions in organelle homeostasis, including macroautophagy/autophagy dysfunction and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, have been implicated in human and rodent pancreatitis. Syntaxin 17 (STX17) belongs to the soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor (SNARE) subfamily.

Background: Postoperative pancreatic fistula remains the single most important determinant of morbidity and mortality following pancreaticoduodenectomy. A new entity was proposed by Saxon Connor "Post-Operative pancreatitis", which is defined by raised serum amylase more than the upper limit of institutional serum amylase value on Post-Operative day 0 or 1. There has been shown to be an association between postoperative pancreatitis and postoperative pancreatic fistula.
