ObjectiveTo investigate clinical efficacy of percutaneous nephroscope in treatment of patients with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP).
MethodsEighty-six patients with SAP in this hospital from August 2012 to November 2015 were selected, which were divided into percutaneous nephroscope treatment group (43 cases) and laparotomy treat-ment group (43 cases) according to the difference of therapy modality. The conventional drug therapy was performed for all of them. The postoperative recovery, content of serum C reactive protein (CRP) on day 14 after operation, and post-operative complications were observed in these two groups.
Results① The abdominal pain relief time, postoperative bowel sounds recovery time, normal body temperature recovery time, and postoperative hospitalization time in the percu-taneous nephroscope treatment group were significantly shorter than those in the laparotomy treatment group (P<0.05). ② The contents of serum CRP in the percutaneous nephroscope treatment group and in the laparotomy treatment group on day 14 after operation were significantly lower than those on day 1 before operation[(8.35±2.13) mg/L versus (31.44±3.45) mg/L, P<0.05; (16.42±2.44) mg/L versus (32.09±2.98) mg/L, P<0.05]. On day 14 after operation, the content of serum CRP in the percutaneous nephroscope treatment group was significantly lower than that in the laparotomy treat-ment group[(8.35±2.13) mg/L versus (16.42±2.44) mg/L, P<0.05]. ③ The incidence rate of postoperative complications in the percutaneous nephroscope treatment group was significantly lower than that in the laparotomy treatment group[14.0% (6/43) versus 32.6% (14/43), P<0.05].
ConclusionPercutaneous nephroscope in treatment of patients with SAP is effect, it has advantages of shorter hospital stay and early recovery, which could reduce incidence of postoperative complications, and it's mechanism might be related to systemic inflammatory response.
ObjectiveTo summarize the clinical application of the minimally invasive step-up approach in the treatment of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP), and to explore the clinical indications, timing for the minimally invasive step-up approach, and to make comparison with open necrosectomy.
MethodsThe literatures about the treatment of SAP in recent years were collected to make a review.
ResultsThe minimally invasive step-up approach, comparing with open necrosectomy, was more effective to treat SAP, however, itself had its own limitations. In the treatment process, the optimal method was minimally invasive step-up approach, but also did not exclude open necrosectomy.
ConclusionsThe treatment of SAP can not rely on a single method, it needs a comprehensive treatment which is relate with multidisciplinary management and highly individual choice. In addition, it needs further study to explore the timing and indications for transforming minimally invasive step-up approach into open necrosectomy.
ObjectiveTo systematically review the efficacy and safety of early abdominal paracentesis drainage (APD) in patients with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). MethodsThe PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CNKI, WanFang Data, and VIP databases were searched to collect randomized controlled trials and cohort studies on the management of SAP via early APD from inception to December 10, 2022. Two reviewers independently screened the literature, extracted data, and assessed the risk of bias of the included studies. Meta-analysis was then performed using RevMan 5.4 software and Stata 17.0 software. ResultsEighteen studies were included, with a total sample size of 2 685 patients. The meta-analysis showed that early APD could decrease mortality (OR=0.49, 95%CI 0.35 to 0.69, P<0.01) and the incidences of multiple organ failure (OR=0.56, 95%CI 0.45 to 0.71, P<0.01), ARDS (OR=0.54, 95%CI 0.41 to 0.71, P<0.01), and infectious complications (OR=0.72, 95%CI 0.57 to 0.92, P<0.01) and also reduce the need for further interventions and the total cost incurred during hospitalization, reduce the length of hospital stay, and reduce the number of days spent in the intensive care unit. However, there were no significant differences in the incidence of pneumonia, bacteremia, and sepsis between the two groups. ConclusionThe treatment of SAP via early APD, which has high clinical value, could decrease the incidence of multiple organ failure, improve the prognosis of patients, and reduce the associated mortality rate. Moreover, APD does not increase the risk of infection-related complications. Due to the limited quantity and quality of the included studies, more high-quality studies are needed to verify the above conclusion.
ObjectiveTo summarize the blood routine indexes and predictive systems that can predict the severity of acute pancreatitis (AP). MethodThe recent domestic and foreign literatures on the predictive value of blood routine indexes for the severity of AP were reviewed.ResultsFrom the current research results at domestic and foreign, independent blood routine indexes such as red blood cell distribution width, average platelet volume, hematocrit (TCT), platelet (PLT) count, platelet distribution width, percentage of immature granulocytes (IG%), and some blood routine calculation indexes such as neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), PLT to lymphocyte ratio (PLR), red blood cell distribution width to PLT ratio (RPR), neutrophil-monocyte product, and so on, all had different predictive value for the severity of AP. In addition, multiple prediction modes such as blood routine indexes combined with some serological indexes or other scoring systems could also be used to predict the severity of AP. In general, the predictive value of the NLR, IG%, and HCT on the severity of AP had been unanimously recognized by researchers. However, the conclusions of related studies on the predictive values of PLT, PLR, and RPR on the severity of AP were still controversial. ConclusionsAt present, there are a variety of blood routine indexes can be used to predict severity of AP, but their predictive values are different. Further researches are still needed.

The course of diseases of earlytreated group was shorter than that of latetreated group (P＜005 . Conclusion : SAP treated by (CQCQD) and AlaGln in early stage can shorten the duration of complications and the hospitalization period, and reduce the incidences of infection, operation rates and mortality rate.
Objective To study the effects of edaravone on the lung injury of severe acute pancreatitis （SAP） in rats. Methods Thirty-six SD rats were randomly divided into three groups: normal control group, model group and edaravone group, and SAP was induced by intraductal administration of 5% sodium taurocholate. Edaravone was given in edaravone group, while normal saline was given in normal control group and model group. After operation 6 h rats were executed, and dry/wet weight (D/W) ratio of lung was counted, and malondialdehyde (MDA) content, superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in serum and lung were detected, respectively. In addition, the levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1, -6 (IL-1, -6) of serum were detected.Results The MDA contentof serum and lung and the levels of TNF-α, IL-1, IL-6 in model group were markedly higher than those in normal control group and edaravone group, but D/W ratio of lung, SOD activity of serum and lung were significantly lower (Plt;0.05). Conclusion Edaravone can alleviate lung injury of rats caused by SAP.
Objective To investigate the mechanism of radix salviae miltiorrhizae (RSM) injection in treatment of pancreatitis through observing the changes of activity of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) in pancreas of rats with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) and the influence of RSM injection upon NF-κB in pancreas tissue. Methods Seventy-five rats were randomly divided into 3 groups: normal control group, SAP group and RSM treatment group, which were injected with normal saline, normal saline or RSM in the peritoneal cavity, respectively. The model of SAP rats was made by injecting L-arginine into peritoneal cavity and by subcutaneous injection at the same time. The concentrations of amylase in plasma and in ascites were measured respectively, and the expression of NF-κB in pancreas tissues was determined by immunohistochemistry. Results The levels of amylase in plasm and ascites in SAP group and RSM treatment group increased significantly with the increased expression of NF-κB in pancreas tissue, but it was also found that both the level of amylase and the expression of NF-κB in RSM treatment group were significantly lower compared with those in SAP group, and the survival time of RSM treatment group was longer than SAP group with less pathological injury in the pancreas tissues. Conclusion RSM may be effective for the treatment of pancreatitis by degrading the expression of NF-κB.
ObjectiveTo explore effect of α-adrenoceptor on modulating water of lung in severe acute pancrea-titis (SAP) rat.
MethodsThe SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation group (n=5) and SAP group,the SAP group was divided into subgroups of SAP-4 h (n=5) and SAP-24 h (n=5).SAP model was made by injecting taurocholate into bilopancreatic duct.The wet-to-dry ratio,alveolar fluid clearance (AFC),and AFC affected by α1-adrenoceptor inhibitor-prazosin and α2-adrenoceptor inhibitor-yohimbine separately or together were measured in the lungs.The α1-adrenoceptor and α2-adrenoceptor mRNA expressions in the lungs tissues were measured by real-time PCR.
Results① The wet-to-dry ratios in the SAP-4 h group and SAP-24 h group were obviously decreased as compared with the sham operation group (P<0.05),which in the SAP-24 h group was significantly lower than that in the SAP-4 h group (P<0.05).② The AFCs in the SAP-4 h group and SAP-24 h group were obviously increased as compared with the sham operation group (P<0.05).The AFCs in the SAP with α1-adrenoceptor inhibitor-prazosin or α2-adrenocpetor inhibitor-yohimbine or prazosin combined with yohimbine were all obviously decreased as compared with the SAP group (P<0.05).③ The α1 adrenoceptor and α2 adrenoceptor mRNAs in the SAP-4 h group and SAP-24 h group were obviously increased as compared with the sham operation group (P<0.05).
ConclusionAFC might be modulated by α-adrenoceptor in SAP rat.
Acute pancreatitis is a common and critical disease in clinical practice, and clinical treatment has formed a multidisciplinary and collaborative model of traditional Chinese and Western medicine. However, its etiology and pathogenesis are complex and varied, and immune response is crucial in the occurrence and development of the disease. Therefore, based on the thinking of the pathological and physiological basis of immune response in the different stages of acute pancreatitis disease progression and related complications, and based on the biological characteristics and laws of the disease, this article summarizes a reasonable and phased implementation of Chinese and Western medicine collaborative management strategy, which is proposed to achieve optimal and precise treatment of the disease.
Objective To investigate the effect and potential mechanism of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) - derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) on lung tissue injury in mice with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). Methods A total of 24 specific pathogen free grade male C57BL/6 mice and primary mouse lung microvascular endothelial cells (PMVECs) were selected. The mice were divided into sham group, SAP group, and BMSC group, with 8 mice in each group. The mouse primary PMVECs were divided into model group [sodium taurocholate (NaTC) group], BMSC-EV group, and control group. Extraction and characterization of healthy mouse BMSCs and their derived extracellular vesicles (BMSC-EVs) were conducted. A mouse model of SAP was established, and BMSC-EVs were injected into SAP mice by tail vein or intervened in PMVECs in vitro, to observe the pathological damage of pancreatic and lung tissues, the changes of serum amylase, lipase, and inflammatory factors [tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6)], the expression of inflammatory factors of lung tissues and PMVECs, and the endothelial cell barrier related proteins [E-cadherin, ZO-1, intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1)], and tight junctions between PMVECs to explore the effects of BMSC-EVs on pancreatic and lung tissues in SAP mice and PMVECs in vitro. Results BMSCs had the potential for osteogenic, chondrogenic, and lipogenic differentiation, and the EVs derived from them had a typical cup-shaped structure with a diameter of 60-100 nm. BMSC-EVs expressed the extracellular vesicle-positive proteins TSG101 and CD63 and did not express the negative protein Calnexin. Compared with the mice in the sham group, the SAP mice underwent significant pathological damage to the pancreas (P<0.05), and their serum amylase, lipase, inflammatory factor IL-6, and TNF-α levels were significantly up-regulated (P<0.05); whereas, BMSC-EVs markedly ameliorated the pancreatic tissue damage in the SAP mice (P<0.05), down-regulated the levels of peripheral serum amylase, lipase, IL-6 and TNF-α (P<0.05), and up-regulated the level of anti-inflammatory factor IL-10 (P<0.05). In addition to this, the SAP mice showed significant lung histopathological damage (P<0.05), higher neutrophils and macrophages infiltration (P<0.05), higher levels of the inflammatory factors TGF-β and IL-6 (P<0.05), as well as reduced barrier protein E-cadherin, ZO-1 expression and elevated expression of ICAM-1 (P<0.05). BMSC-EVs significantly ameliorated lung histopathological injury, inflammatory cells infiltration, inflammatory factor levels, and expression of barrier proteins, and suppressed ICAM-1 expression (P<0.05). In the in vitro PMVECs experiments, it was found that intercellular tight junctions were broken in the NaTC group, and the levels of inflammatory factors TNF-α and IL-6 were significantly up-regulated (P<0.05), the protein expression of E-cadherin and ZO-1 was significantly down-regulated (P<0.05), and the expression of ICAM-1 was significantly up-regulated (P<0.05). BMSC-EVs significantly improved intercellular tight junctions in the NaTC group and inhibited the secretion of TNF-α and IL-6 (P<0.05), up-regulated the expression of the barrier proteins E-cadherin and ZO-1, and down-regulated the expression of ICAM-1 (P<0.05). Conclusion BMSC-derived EVs ameliorate lung tissue injury in SAP mice by restoring the lung endothelial cell barrier and inhibiting inflammatory cell infiltration.
