Objectives: Pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PanIN) is the currently preferred designation for putative preneoplastic changes in the pancreas. There are few data for the incidence of PanIN in the general population. Our goal was to determine the incidence of PanIN in a large group of pancreases obtained at autopsy.
Methods: Slides stained with hematoxylin and eosin were scanned to count PanIN.
Results: We found multiple PanINs in most pancreases and at least 1 in 86.4% of 154 pancreases when multiple slides (8-12) from each were examined. The average age at autopsy was 62 years, and 90% of the patients were 40 years or older. Several questions were raised by our observations. Should a minimum size be defined for classification as PanIN? Do PanINs occur in lesions that apparently arise from acinar to ductal metaplasia? Does squamous metaplasia in PanIN have any special significance, and do purely squamous lesions have preneoplastic significance?
Conclusions: We conclude that the incidence of PanIN is higher than previously reported.

(CJ) is the etiological agent of the world's most common intestinal infectious food-borne disease, ranging from mild symptoms to fatal outcomes. The development of innovative synbiotics that inhibit the adhesion and reproduction of multidrug-resistant (MDR) CJ in animals and humans, thereby preserving intestinal homeostasis, is relevant. We have created a synbiotic based on the consortium of 2029 (LC2029), 7247 (LS7247), and a mannan-rich prebiotic (Actigen).

Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMN) are commonly detected pancreatic cysts that may transform into pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Predicting which IPMNs will progress to PDAC remains a clinical challenge. Moreover, identifying those clinically evident IPMNs for which a surveillance approach is best is a dire clinical need.

Background/aim: We previously reported the usefulness of detecting aberrant methylation in tumor suppressive microRNAs (miRNAs) in bile and plasma to discriminate pancreaticobiliary cancers from benign pancreaticobiliary diseases. This study analyzed the methylation of miRNAs in pancreatic juice to identify those specific to pancreatic cancer (PC).
Patients And Methods: Pancreatic juice was collected from 20 patients with PC, including eight with intraductal papillary mucinous carcinoma (IPMC), two with low grade-pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia (LG-PanIN), 32 with LG-intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN), and seven with benign pancreatic lesions.
Fasting-Mimicking Diet Prevents Pancreatic Carcinogenesis via Gut Microbiota and Metabolites.

The incidence of pancreatic cancer has been increasing globally in recent years and dietary is a well-defined factor contributing to its carcinogenesis. In this study, we showed that in a cerulein-induced KC (Pdx1-cre; LSL-Kras G12D/+) mouse model, a fasting-mimicking diet (FMD)─comprising fasting for 3 days followed by 4 days of refeeding, repeated over three 1-week cycles─significantly retards the progression of pancreatic carcinogenesis. FMD treatment altered gut microbiota, notably boosting butyrate-producing bacteria and elevating butyric acid levels in pancreatic tissues.

The global emergence of antibiotic-resistant zooanthroponotic strains, producing extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL-E) and persisting in the intestines of farm animals, has now led to the development of a pandemic of extra-intestinal infectious diseases in humans. The search for innovative probiotic microorganisms that eliminate ESBL-E from the intestines of humans and animals is relevant. Previously, we received three isolates of bifidobacteria: from milk of a calved cow (BLLT1), feces of a newborn calf (BLLT2) and feces of a three-year-old child who received fresh milk from this calved cow (BLLT3).
