INTRODUCTION: To investigate whether increased intrapancreatic fat deposition (IPFD) heightens the risk of diseases exocrine and endocrine pancreas. METHODS: A prospective cohort study was conducted using data from UK Biobank. IPFD quantified MRI a deep learning–based framework called nnUNet. The prevalence fatty change pancreas (FP) determined sex- age-specific thresholds. Associations between pancreatic were assessed with multivariate Cox-proportional hazard model adjusted for age, sex,...
Objectives: Hypertriglyceridemia-associated acute pancreatitis (HTG-AP) is one of the most common etiologies (AP) worldwide. Compared to other etiologies, patients with HTG-AP may develop more severe AP, but previous studies yielded controversial conclusion due lack adequate adjustment for confounders. Therefore, this study aimed examine possibility and risk factors developing AP in HTG-AP. Methods: Data from an established diagnosis were collected January 2013 December 2023 using a...
The selection of scaffold materials and the optimization morphological mechanical properties are critical for successful bone tissue engineering. We fabricated porous scaffolds nano-sized zirconia using a replication technique. study aimed to explore relationship between porosity, pore size, strength, cell adhesion, proliferation in scaffolds. Macro- micro-structures compressive strength were comparatively tested. Beagle marrow stromal cells seeded onto evaluate seeding efficiency profile...
Twenty-three percent of patients are diagnosed with diabetes mellitus after the first episode acute pancreatitis. The incidence post-acute pancreatitis is significantly higher than that type 1 mellitus. Some studies have concluded all-cause mortality and worse prognosis higher. We predicted number recurrences would be associated incidences metabolic syndrome, abdominal obesity, mellitus.Patients admitted to our hospital for hypertriglyceridemic from 2013-2021 were selected a cross-sectional...
Acute pancreatitis (AP) is the most common pancreatic disease. Predicting severity of AP critical for making preventive decisions. However, performance existing scoring systems in predicting was not satisfactory. The purpose this study to develop predictive models using machine learning (ML) algorithms and explore important predictors that affected prediction results.The data 441 patients Department Gastroenterology our hospital were analyzed retrospectively. demographic data, blood routine...
Objective: Hypertriglyceridemia-associated acute pancreatitis (HTG-AP) is an increasingly recognized cause of pancreatitis, particularly in China. This study aims to establish a multi-center prospective cohort investigate the prevalence, clinical features, recurrence risk, and complications HTG-AP, provide insights into its pathophysiology management. Methods: Chinese Pancreatitis Study Group (CHPSG) launched prospective, multicenter observational across 12 tertiary hospitals Adult patients...

Hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) is one of the most common etiologies acute pancreatitis (AP). Variants in five genes involved regulation plasma lipid metabolism, namely LPL, APOA5, APOC2, GPIHBP1 and LMF1, have been frequently reported to cause or predispose HTG. A Han Chinese patient with HTG-induced AP was assessed for genetic variants by Sanger sequencing entire coding flanking sequences above genes. The a 32-year-old man severe obesity (Body Mass Index = 35) heavy smoking (ten cigarettes per...
Abstract Background Hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) is a leading cause of acute pancreatitis. HTG can be caused by either primary (genetic) or secondary etiological factors, and there increasing appreciation the interplay between two kinds factors in causing severe HTG. Objectives The main aim this study was to identify genetic basis hypertriglyceridemia-induced pancreatitis (HTG-AP) Chinese family with three affected members (the proband, his mother older sister). Methods entire coding flanking...
AIM:To evaluate tracking of magnetically labeled mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) after intraportal transplantation.METHODS: Mononuclear were isolated from bone marrow aspirates pigs by density gradient centrifugation, cultured and expanded, which, they incubated with super paramagnetic iron oxide (SPIO).Prussian blue staining was performed to highlight intracellular iron.To establish swine models acute liver injury, 0.5 g/kg D-galactosamine administrated 10 pigs, six which injected via their...
Variants in the lipoprotein lipase (LPL), apolipoprotein C-II (APOC2), A-V (APOA5), GPIHBP1 and LMF1 genes may cause severe hypertriglyceridemia (HTG), which is now second-leading aetiology of acute pancreatitis China. The patient his family were assessed for gene variants by Sanger sequencing exons exon-intron junctions LPL, GPIHBP1, APOA5, APOC2, genes. Post-heparin blood was collected LPL mass activity detection. had suffered from long-term recurrent abdominal pain over 30 years, since...
The etiology of hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) and acute pancreatitis (AP) is complex. Herein, we dissected the underlying in a patient with HTG AP. had 20-year history heavy alcohol consumption an 8-year mild HTG. He was hospitalized for alcohol-triggered AP, plasma triglyceride (TG) level up to 21.4 mmol/L. A temporary rise post-heparin LPL concentration (1.5–2.5 times controls) noted during early days AP whilst activity consistently low (50∼70% controls). His TG rapidly decreased normal...
Abstract Background Acute pancreatitis in pregnancy (APIP) is a life‐threatening disease for both mother and fetus. To date, only three patients with recurrent hypertriglyceridemia‐induced APIP (HTG‐APIP) have been reported to carry rare variants the lipoprotein lipase ( LPL ) gene, which encodes key enzyme responsible triglyceride (TG) metabolism. Coincidently, all harbored on alleles presented complete or severe deficiency. Methods The entire coding regions splice junctions of four other...
Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) is characterized by high mortality rates and various complications, including skeletal muscle atrophy, which significantly exacerbates its outcomes. Despite clinical relevance, the mechanistic understanding of relationship between pancreas in SAP remains limited. Our study aimed to elucidate this "organ crosstalk" potential implications. We established an mouse model through pancreatic duct ligation (PDL) evaluated necrosis, myonectin expression levels....
Introduction The aim of our study is to explore the value serum glycosylated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) in disease severity and clinical outcomes acute pancreatitis (AP). Research design Methods Patients with AP were included from January 2013 December 2020, retrospectively, dividing into normal HbA1c level (N-HbA1c) group high (H-HbA1c) according criteria <6.5%. We compared patient characteristics, biochemical parameters, severity, patients two groups. Besides, we evaluated efficacy predict...
