Minimally invasive versus open lateral pancreaticojejunostomy in patients with painful chronic pancreatitis: systematic review.
BJS Open
December 2024
Department of Surgery, Amsterdam UMC, location University of Amsterdam, Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
Background: Patients with painful chronic pancreatitis combined with a dilated main pancreatic duct and a normal size pancreatic head are treated according to guidelines by lateral pancreaticojejunostomy (LPJ). This systematic review compared outcomes of minimally invasive LPJ and open LPJ.
Methods: From 1 January 2000 until 13 November 2023, series reporting on minimally invasive LPJ and open LPJ in patients with symptomatic chronic pancreatitis were included.

January 2025
Department of Gastroenterology, First Hospital of Yangtze University, Jingzhou, China.
Background: Alcoholic pancreatitis is a progressive condition characterized by susceptibility to recurrence, progression to chronic pancreatitis, complications, and high morbidity.
Summary: The main causes include long-term alcoholism, excessive drinking, the toxic effects of alcohol metabolites, interactions with biliary diseases, and genetic factors. Alcohol is the second leading cause of acute pancreatitis (AP) in the USA, accounting for one-third of all AP cases.
The effectiveness of a conservative approach in the management of groove pancreatitis.
Indian J Gastroenterol
January 2025
Department of Gastroenterology, Christian Medical College, Vellore, 632 517, India.
Background: Groove pancreatitis (GP) is a form of pancreatitis that affects the pancreaticoduodenal groove area, which lies between the head of the pancreas, the second part of the duodenum and the distal bile duct, presenting as abdominal pain and gastric outlet obstruction. In this study, we present the clinical and radiological characteristics of individuals diagnosed with groove pancreatitis at our center and discuss the use of a conservative treatment approach in managing GP.
Methods: The data of patients with groove pancreatitis treated at our center between January 2012 and December 2021 was analyzed.
Unraveling the Connection Between Ion Channels and Pancreatic Stellate Cell Activation.

Quiescent pancreatic stellate cells (PSCs) represent only a very low proportion of the pancreatic tissue, but their activation leads to stroma remodeling and fibrosis associated with pathologies such as chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). PSC activation can be induced by various stresses, including acidosis, growth factors (PDGF, TGFβ), hypoxia, high pressure, or intercellular communication with pancreatic cancer cells. Activated PSC targeting represents a promising therapeutic strategy, but little is known regarding the molecular mechanisms underlying the activation of PSCs.
