Impact of rofecoxib on progressing of pancreatic fibrous changes in the rats in experimental chronic pancreatitis, caused by L-arginine, was studied up. In 60 male rats chronic pancreatitis was simulated, using intraabdominal L-arginine introduction (100 mg/100 g) through 21 days. Rofecoxib (5 mg/kg) was injected during 14 days to rats of the main group after L-arginine injections were completed. In 35 days of experiment the animals state, the pancreatic amylase and lipase activity in the blood serum, as well as morphological changes in pancreatic gland, were analyzed. Application of rofecoxib have had promoted the postponed pancreatic fibrosis formation, the morphofunctional state of pancreatic gland improvement. The data obtained constitute the experimental substantiation of possibility to apply nonsteroid antiinflammatory medicines in complex of clinical treatment of chronic pancreatitis.

Objectives: Chronic pancreatitis is a debilitating and progressive inflammatory disease with an altered quality of life due to severe abdominal pain. Pancreaticoduodenectomy is a surgical option for patients with bulky disease involving the head of the pancreas, especially when this disease has progressed to stricture of the bile duct, duodenum, or both. A long term issue associated with this procedure is stricture of the pancreatic anastomosis.

Background: diagnosis of early chronic pancreatitis (CP) is a challenge due to the lack of accurate methods. The ability of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) guided biopsy to obtain pancreatic core tissue samples in patients with minimal changes of CP and its potential use for the histological diagnosis of early CP are unknown. The aim of the study was to evaluate the ability of different EUS-guided biopsy core needles to obtain histological samples of healthy pig pancreas.
