MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play crucial roles in regulating various biological processes and are considered promising biomarkers for clinical diagnosis and therapy of acute pancreatitis. Herein, we present a duplex-specific nuclease (DSN enzyme) and DNAzyme-assisted fluorescent miRNA detections assay that can provide improved detection specificity due to a design of dual-target recognition and a comparable sensitivity. The dual-target recognitions are composed of (i) miRNA unfold hairpin structure toehold to form DNA-RNA duplex, among which the DNA section will be digested by DSN enzyme, releasing miRNA to participant in a next recycle. (ii) After DNAzyme-based nicking site formation in loop section of molecular beacon (MB), miRNA can bind with the loop section of MB and gradually unfold MB probe, generating fluorescence signals. With this general principle, distinct discrimination capability towards even one base pair mismatch of homogenous miRNA is obtained, showing a promising prospect in clinical diagnosis and therapy of acute pancreatitis.

Objectives: Associations of ABO blood group specifying transferases A/B (ABO) and fucosyltransferase 2 (FUT2) with CP remain inconclusive. We aimed to comprehensively investigate the associations by Chinese sequencing cohorts and external cohorts.
Methods: First, we analyzed the distributions of ABO blood groups and FUT2 status, along with lead single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at ABO (rs8176693 C/T) and FUT2 (rs632111 A/G) gene loci in Chinese low-coverage whole-genome sequencing discovery cohort.

Background: A comprehensive understanding of the molecular pathogenesis of chronic pancreatitis (CP), a fibroinflammatory disorder of the pancreas, is warranted for the development of targeted therapies. The current study focused on comparing the transcriptomes of pancreatic tissues obtained from patients with CP with those of two rodent models of chemically induced CP to identify dysregulated genes/signaling pathways.
Methods: Pancreatitis was induced in mice using cerulein and L-arginine.

Background And Aims: Pancreas divisum (PD) is the most common developmental anatomic variant of pancreatic duct. The published data on the accuracy of the detection of pancreas divisum by linear-array endoscopic ultrasound (L-EUS) is limited. The current study aimed to assess the diagnostic accuracy of L-EUS compared with magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) for identifying PD.

Background: Open surgical debridement was the main treatment option for infected pancreatic necrosis (IPN). However, it was associated with significant trauma, leading to a higher mortality rate. With the development of minimally invasive surgery, the step-up treatment principle centered around minimally invasive intervention, significantly reducing the incidence of complications and mortality rates among IPN patients.
