Abstract
We here present a rare case of development of a postoperative pancreatic fistula and breakdown of the pancreaticojejunal anastomosis 8 months after pancreaticoduodenectomy. A 70-year-old man underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy for distal cholangiocarcinoma and initially recovered well. However, 8 months later, he developed abdominal pain and distention and was admitted to our institution with suspected pancreatitis. On the 17th day of hospitalization, he suddenly bled from the jejunal loop and a fluid collection was detected near the pancreaticojejunal anastomosis site. The fluid collection was drained percutaneously. Subsequent fistulography confirmed breakdown of the pancreaticojejunal anastomosis. Considering the patient's overall condition and the presence of postoperative adhesions, we decided to manage him conservatively. An additional drain tube was placed percutaneously from the site of the anastomotic breakdown into the lumen of the jejunum, along with the tube draining the fluid collection, creating a completely new fistula. This facilitated the flow of pancreatic fluid into the jejunum and was removed 192 days after placement. During a 6-month follow-up, there were no recurrences of pancreatitis or a pancreatic fistula. This case highlights the efficacy of percutaneous drainage and creation of an internal fistula as a management strategy for delayed pancreatic fistula and anastomotic breakdown following pancreaticoduodenectomy.

Abstract
One of the most important constituents of the cell membrane is arachidonic acid. Lipids forming part of the cellular membrane can be metabolized in a variety of cellular types of the body by a family of enzymes termed phospholipases: phospholipase A2, phospholipase C and phospholipase D. Phospholipase A2 is considered the most important enzyme type for the release of arachidonic acid. The latter is subsequently subjected to metabolization via different enzymes. Three enzymatic pathways, involving the enzymes cyclooxygenase, lipoxygenase and cytochrome P450, transform the lipid derivative into several bioactive compounds. Arachidonic acid itself plays a role as an intracellular signaling molecule. Additionally, its derivatives play critical roles in cell physiology and, moreover, are involved in the development of disease. Its metabolites comprise, predominantly, prostaglandins, thromboxanes, leukotrienes and hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids. Their involvement in cellular responses leading to inflammation and/or cancer development is subject to intense study. This manuscript reviews the findings on the involvement of the membrane lipid derivative arachidonic acid and its metabolites in the development of pancreatitis, diabetes and/or pancreatic cancer.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The ISGPS aimed to develop a universally accepted definition for PPAP for standardized reporting and outcome comparison. BACKGROUND PPAP is an increasingly recognized complication after partial pancreatic resections, but its incidence and clinical impact, and even its existence are variable because an internationally accepted consensus definition and grading system are lacking. METHODS The ISGPS developed a consensus definition and grading of PPAP with its members after an evidence review and after a series of discussions and multiple revisions from April 2020 to May 2021. RESULTS We defined PPAP as an acute inflammatory condition of the pancreatic remnant beginning within the first 3 postoperative days after a partial pancreatic resection. The diagnosis requires (1) a sustained postoperative serum hyperamylasemia (POH) greater than the institutional upper limit of normal for at least the first 48 hours postoperatively, (2) associated with clinically relevant features, and (3) radiologic alterations consistent with PPAP. Three different PPAP grades were defined based on the clinical impact: (1) grade postoperative hyperamylasemia, biochemical changes only; (2) grade B, mild or moderate complications; and (3) grade C, severe life-threatening complications. DISCUSSIONS The present definition and grading scale of PPAP, based on biochemical, radiologic, and clinical criteria, are instrumental for a better understanding of PPAP and the spectrum of postoperative complications related to this emerging entity. The current terminology will serve as a reference point for standard assessment and lend itself to developing specific treatments and prevention strategies.

JOURNAL OF HEPATO-BILIARY-PANCREATIC SCIENCES 2020; 27:739-746.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE This study investigated whether measuring pancreatic blood volume (PBV) on whole pancreatic perfusion computed tomography (P-CT) can predict the progression of walled-off necrosis (WON) in patients with acute pancreatitis (AP). METHODS A single-center, retrospective cohort study was conducted between December 2015 and December 2016. The participants were divided into two groups: 14 patients with WON and 15 patients without WON. PBV was measured within 72 hours after the diagnosis of AP, and the final diagnosis of WON was made by contrast-enhanced CT (CE-CT) or endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) 4 weeks after the onset of AP. RESULTS The minimum CT value did not differ significantly between the two groups. On the other hand, the minimum PBV was significantly lower in the WON group than in the without WON group (1.4 (0.9-9.9) vs 19.8 (8.2-21.7) mL/100 mL, respectively; P = .02). The cutoff value of the minimum PBV for WON was 16.5 mL/100 mL (sensitivity 100%, specificity 67%, AUC 0.85; P = .001). CONCLUSIONS Whole pancreatic P-CT can evaluate pancreatic ischemia visually and quantitatively. The minimum PBV measurement on whole pancreatic P-CT within 72 hours after the diagnosis of AP contributes to the prediction of progression of WON.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to identify the risk factors for walled-off necrosis (WON) associated with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). METHODS This retrospective study was conducted in eight institutions in Japan between 2014 and 2017. We analyzed WON incidence, patient characteristics, and risk factors for WON in patients with SAP who were observed for >28 days. RESULTS Of 134 patients with SAP, WON occurred in 40 (29.9%). Male sex (P = .045), body mass index (BMI) ≥25 (P < .001), post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) pancreatitis (P = .020), and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) (P = .001) were more frequent in the WON group than in the non-WON group. On admission, the frequency of white blood cell counts ≥ 12 000/µL (P = .037) and hypoenhanced pancreatic lesion on computed tomography (P = .047) were significantly higher in the WON group. In multivariate analysis, BMI ≥ 25 (odds ratio [OR] 5.73, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.95-16.8; P = .002), post-ERCP (OR 8.08, 95% CI 1.57-41.7; P = .013), and DIC (OR 3.52, 95% CI 1.20-10.4; P = .022) were independent risk factors for WON. CONCLUSIONS High BMI, post-ERCP pancreatitis, and DIC are risk factors for the development of WON associated with SAP.

Abstract
Acute pancreatitis is one of complication of pancreaticoduodenectomy. Delayed severe acute pancreatitis which needs intensive care is very rare. Necrosectomy effective treated abdominal abscess, but it is important to avoid injury to surrounding organs. Clinicians should be aware that severe pancreatitis chould occur even after pancreatectomy.
Introduction Acute pancreatitis is a known complication of pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). However, no reports in the literature describe a late delayed severe acute pancreatitis. We report a case of acute pancreatitis 5 years after PD in a patient who needed intensive care for his complication. Presentation of case A 64-years-old man presented with upper abdominal pain and reported a history of PD 5 years prior to presentation. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed an edematous pancreatic remnant with inflammation of the surrounding tissue, and he was diagnosed with acute pancreatitis. His condition worsened, and he was transferred to our hospital the following day. He was admitted to the intensive care unit to manage respiratory and circulatory insufficiency. Although his condition improved, an abdominal abscess was identified, and necrosectomy was performed on day 43 of hospitalizaiton. We carefully removed as much necrotic tissue as was possible without injury to the pancreaticojejunal anastomosis and the ascending colon. Inflammation gradually subsided, and he was discharged on day 111 of hospitalization. The last drain was removed in day 133 of admission to our hospital. Pancreatitis and abdominal abscess have not recurred until the time of writing this paper. Discussion Delayed severe acute pancreatitis is rare. Necrosectomy can treat an abdominal abscess; however it is important to avoid injury to other organs. Conclusion Clinicians should be aware that severe acute pancreatitis can occur after PD.
