Pure colipase was prepared by immunoaffinity chromatography from porcine and human pancreatic juice. A single form of the porcine colipase was obtained, having the structural and biological properties of previously characterized porcine procolipase A. Two forms of activated colipase (N-terminal Gly) were isolated from human pancreatic juice by the same procedure. The existence of two forms of activated colipase might arise from rapid activation of a precursor form of human colipase during collection of the pancreatic juice.

Background: Pancreatic acinar cell carcinoma (PACC) is a rare subtype of pancreatic cancer and the clinicopathological behavior of PACC is not yet fully understood. PACC rarely invades the main pancreatic duct (MPD), which causes intraductal growth. Thus, herein, we have reported a rare case of PACC that invaded the MPD and disseminated to the branches of the pancreatic duct (BDs) without exhibiting any continuity with the main tumor.

Pancreaticobiliary maljunction (PBMJ) has a long common channel (CC) that causes pancreaticobiliary reflux (PBR), which has been implicated in gallstones, cholangiocarcinoma, and pancreatitis. By contrast, PBR has occurred in cases with normal and longer CCs than normal but shorter than PBMJ. This pathophysiology has been primarily reported in adults and rarely in children.

Pancreatic cancer is one of the most aggressive cancers with a very poor 5-year survival rate and reduced therapeutic options when diagnosed in an advanced stage. The dismal prognosis of pancreatic cancer has guided significant efforts to discover novel biomarkers in order to anticipate diagnosis, increasing the population of patients who can benefit from curative surgical treatment. CA 19-9 is the reference biomarker that supports the diagnosis and guides the response to treatments.

Background/objectives: Positive pancreatic juice cytology (PJC) is an important finding when considering surgical resection in patients with intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN); however, guidelines do not recommend endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) for PJC. This study aimed to clarify the findings worthy of adding PJC for diagnosing high-grade dysplasia (HGD) and invasive carcinoma (IC) in patients with IPMN.

Methods: Patients with IPMN who underwent preoperative PJC and surgical resection at Hiroshima University Hospital were enrolled, and the diagnostic yield of malignant IPMN based on PJC and clinical and imaging findings and the incidence of post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP) were retrospectively analyzed.
