Hong JJ, Park HJ, Lee ES, Kim MJ. Severity of hyperechoic pancreas on preoperative ultrasonography: high potential as a clinically useful predictor of a postoperative pancreatic fistula. Ultrasonography 2024; 43:272-283. [PMID: 38881310 PMCID: PMC11222128 DOI: 10.14366/usg.24046] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2024] [Revised: 05/28/2024] [Accepted: 05/29/2024] [Indexed: 06/18/2024] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of using the severity of hyperechoic pancreas (HP) observed on preoperative ultrasonography (US) as a predictor of clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula (CR-POPF). METHODS A retrospective study was conducted with 94 patients who underwent pancreatectomy between April 2006 and March 2021. The severity of HP on US was classified into two categories (normal to mild vs. moderate to severe [obvious HP]). Multiple preoperative and intraoperative parameters were analyzed to predict CR-POPF. RESULTS Out of the 94 patients, CR-POPF occurred in 21 (22%) patients, and obvious HP was observed in 30 (32%). Univariate analysis revealed that moderate to severe HP (obvious HP) was significantly associated with an increased incidence of CR-POPF (P<0.001). Factors such as the absence of pancreatitis, a small main pancreatic duct (<3 mm), intraoperative soft pancreas, increased body mass index, and lower pancreatic attenuation and attenuation index were also associated with CR-POPF (all P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that obvious HP and soft pancreatic texture were independent predictors of CR-POPF, with odds ratios of 11.53 (P=0.001) and 14.12 (P=0.003), respectively. The combination of obvious HP and soft pancreatic texture provided the most accurate prediction for CR-POPF. CONCLUSION The severity of HP, as observed on preoperative US, was significantly associated with CR-POPF. Severe HP may serve as a clinically useful predictor of POPF, especially when evaluated alongside the intraoperative pancreatic texture.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There are no guidelines in the literature for the use of a computed tomography (CT) protocol in the initial phase of acute pancreatitis (AP). PURPOSE To evaluate the contribution of single portal venous phase CT compared to triple-phase CT protocol, performed in the initial phase of AP for severity assessment. MATERIAL AND METHODS In this retrospective study, a total of 175 patients with acute pancreatitis who underwent initial triple-phase CT protocol (non-contrast, arterial phase, and portal venous phase) between D3 and D7 after the onset of symptoms were included. Analysis of AP severity and complications was independently assessed by two readers using three validated CT severity scores (CTSI, mCTSI, EPIC). All scores were applied to the triple-phase CT protocol and compared to the single portal venous phase. Inter-observer analyses were also performed. RESULTS No significant difference whatever the severity score was observed after analysis of the single portal venous phase compared with the triple-phase CT protocol (interstitial edematous pancreatitis: CTSI: 2 vs. 2, mCTSI: 2 vs. 2, EPIC: 1 vs. 1; necrotizing pancreatitis: CTSI: 6 vs. 6, mCTSI: 8 vs. 8, EPIC: 5 vs. 5). Inter-observer agreement was excellent (ICC = 0.96-0.99), whatever the severity score. CONCLUSION A triple-phase CT protocol performed at the initial phase of AP was no better than a single portal venous for assessing the severity of complications and could lead to a 63% reduction in irradiation.

Cell Signal 2024; 118:111143. [PMID: 38508349 DOI: 10.1016/j.cellsig.2024.111143] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/02/2024] [Revised: 03/03/2024] [Accepted: 03/14/2024] [Indexed: 03/22/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a pathological condition characterized by the premature release and activation of trypsinogens and other enzyme precursors. In severe cases, the mortality rates are in the range of 20-30% and may even be as high as 50%. Though various prophylaxes are available for AP, the mechanism of its progression is unclear. Marginal zone B and B-1 cell-specific protein 1 (MZB1) is found in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) where it is expressed exclusively in the B cells there. MZB1 promotes proliferation, inhibits apoptosis, invasion, and inflammation, and mitigates mitochondrial damage in cells. However, the importance of MZB1 in AP has not yet been determined. METHODS Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between healthy pancreatic cells and those affected by AP were identified using datasets from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) datasets. Relative differences in MZB1 expression between normal and diseased tissues and cells were validated in vivo using a rat AP model induced with 4% (w/v) sodium taurocholate and in vitro using the AR42J rat pancreatic cell line exposed to caerulein (CAE). Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) and 5-ethynyl-2`-deoxyuridine (EdU) assays were performed to detect and compare normal and pathological cell proliferation. Flow cytometry was employed to assess and compare cellular apoptosis. Quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and western blot (WB) were applied to evaluate the apoptotic factors Bax and Bcl. The inflammatory factors interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-1β were quantified using Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and qRT-PCR techniques. Mitochondrial function was evaluated using assays for reactive oxygen species (ROS) and tetramethylrhodamine methyl ester (TMRM). WB and qRT-PCR were utilized to measure the expression levels of the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, followed by a rescue experiment involving the inhibitor of wortmannin. RESULTS MZB1 was upregulated in the AP cases screened from the GEO datasets, the rat AP model, and the AR42J cells exposed to CAE. Overexpression of MZB1 enhanced the growth and supressed the cell death of AR42J cells while also activating the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway. MZB1 knockdown led to mitochondrial dysfunction and exacerbated inflammation. The rescue experiment demonstrated that MZB1 enhanced proliferation and inhibited apoptosis, mitochondrial dysfunction, and inflammation in pancreatic cells through the PI3K-Akt pathway. CONCLUSIONS AP cells and tissues exhibited markedly elevated levels of MZB1 expression compared to their healthy counterparts. MZB1 overexpression promoted proliferation and supressed apoptosis, mitochondrial dysfunction, and inflammation in pancreatic cells through the positive regulation of the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway.

Early encapsulation of peripancreatic fluid/necrosis collections on imaging (CECT) in acute pancreatitis: influential factors and clinical significance for prognosis. BMC Gastroenterol 2024; 24:53. [PMID: 38287237 PMCID: PMC10826178 DOI: 10.1186/s12876-024-03145-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/23/2023] [Accepted: 01/23/2024] [Indexed: 01/31/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND To identify the factors influencing the early encapsulation of peripancreatic fluid/necrosis collections via contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) and to determine the clinical significance of early encapsulation for determining the prognosis of acute pancreatitis (AP) patients. METHODS AP patients who underwent CECT between 4 and 10 days after disease onset were enrolled in this study. Early encapsulation was defined as a continuous enhancing wall around peripancreatic fluid/necrosis collections on CECT. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to assess the associations between the variables and early encapsulation. Clinical outcomes were compared between the non-encapsulation and early encapsulation groups with 1:1 propensity score matching. RESULTS A total of 289 AP patients were enrolled. The intra-observer and inter-observer agreement were considered good (kappa statistics of 0.729 and 0.614, respectively) for identifying early encapsulation on CECT. The ratio of encapsulation increased with time, with a ratio of 12.5% on day 5 to 48.7% on day 9. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that the longer time from onset to CECT examination (OR 1.55, 95% CI 1.23-1.97), high alanine aminotransferase level (OR 0.98, 95% CI 0.97-0.99), and high APACHE II score (OR 0.89, 95% CI 0.81-0.98) were found to be independent factors associated with delayed encapsulation. The incidence of persistent organ failure was significantly lower in the early encapsulation group after matching (22.4% vs 6.1%, p = 0.043). However, there was no difference in the incidence of infected pancreatic necrosis, surgical intervention, or in-hospital mortality. CONCLUSIONS AP patients without early encapsulation of peripancreatic fluid/necrosis collections have a greater risk of persistent organ failure. In addition to longer time, the high APACHE II score and elevated alanine aminotransferase level are factors associated with delayed encapsulation.

Abstract
AbstractAcute pancreatitis (AP) is one of the common gastrointestinal conditions presenting as medical emergency. Clinically, the severity of AP ranges from mild to severe. Mild AP has a favorable outcome. Patients with moderately severe and severe AP, on the other hand, require hospitalization and considerable utilization of health care resources. These patients require a multidisciplinary management. Pancreatic fluid collections (PFCs) and arterial bleeding are the most important local complications of pancreatitis. PFCs may require drainage when infected or symptomatic. PFCs are drained endoscopically or percutaneously, based on the timing and the location of collection. Both the techniques are complementary, and many patients may undergo dual modality treatment. Percutaneous catheter drainage (PCD) remains the most extensively utilized method for drainage in patients with AP and necrotic PFCs. Besides being effective as a standalone treatment in a significant proportion of these patients, PCD also provides an access for percutaneous endoscopic necrosectomy and minimally invasive necrosectomy. Endovascular embolization is the mainstay of management of arterial complications in patients with AP and chronic pancreatitis. The purpose of the present guideline is to provide evidence-based recommendations for the percutaneous management of complications of pancreatitis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To provide guidelines for the management of the intensive care patient with severe acute pancreatitis. DESIGN A consensus committee of 22 experts was convened. A formal conflict-of-interest (COI) policy was developed at the beginning of the process and enforced throughout. The entire guideline construction process was conducted independently of any industrial funding (i.e. pharmaceutical, medical devices). The authors were required to follow the rules of the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE®) system to guide assessment of quality of evidence. The potential drawbacks of making strong recommendations in the presence of low-quality evidence were emphasised. METHODS The most recent SFAR and SNFGE guidelines on the management of the patient with severe pancreatitis were published in 2001. The literature now is sufficient for an update. The committee studied 14 questions within 3 fields. Each question was formulated in a PICO (Patients Intervention Comparison Outcome) format and the relevant evidence profiles were produced. The literature review and recommendations were made according to the GRADE® methodology. RESULTS The experts' synthesis work and their application of the GRADE® method resulted in 24 recommendations. Among the formalised recommendations, 8 have high levels of evidence (GRADE 1+/-) and 12 have moderate levels of evidence (GRADE 2+/-). For 4 recommendations, the GRADE method could not be applied, resulting in expert opinions. Four questions did not find any response in the literature. After one round of scoring, strong agreement was reached for all the recommendations. CONCLUSIONS There was strong agreement among experts for 24 recommendations to improve practices for the management of intensive care patients with severe acute pancreatitis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study explored the early predictive value of volume and mean CT density of necrosis for adverse outcomes in patients with acute necrotising pancreatitis (ANP). METHODS A total of 155 patients with ANP who underwent CECT within 7 days of symptom onset were included. The necrosis volume, mean CT density, and modified CT severity index (mCTSI) were calculated. C-reactive protein (CRP) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) levels both 48 h after symptom onset were reviewed. Adverse outcomes were recorded. The predictive value of each indicator was assessed using ROC curve analysis. RESULTS There were significant associations between necrosis volume and mean CT density and organ failure (OF), persistent OF (POF), and need for intervention (p < 0.001 for all). For predicting OF, the area under the curve (AUC) was significantly higher for necrosis volume than for mCTSI and BUN (AUC: 0.84 vs 0.67, p = 0.0011; 0.84 vs 0.71, p = 0.0193, respectively). For predicting POF and need for intervention, the AUCs for necrosis volume were significantly higher than those for mCTSI (AUC: 0.79 vs 0.66, p = 0.0045; 0.77 vs 0.61, p = 0.0019, respectively), but did not significantly differ from those for CRP and BUN. For predicting OF, a significantly better predictive value was achieved with mean CT density than with mCTSI (AUC: 0.79 vs 0.67, p = 0.0163). There were no significant differences in predictive value between mean CT density, CRP, and BUN. CONCLUSIONS The volume and mean CT density of necrosis based on CECT can provide early prediction of OF, POF, and need for intervention. KEY POINTS • Compared to mCTSI, necrosis volume might be used to more accurately diagnose organ failure and persistent organ failure and might be better associated with the need for intervention. • Necrosis volume and mean CT density based on CECT are reliable quantitative predictors for organ failure, persistent organ failure, and intervention in acute pancreatitis.

Lumen-apposing covered self-expanding metallic stent for symptomatic pancreatic fluid collections: assessment of outcomes and complications with CT and MRI. Abdom Radiol (NY) 2021; 46:757-767. [PMID: 32681269 DOI: 10.1007/s00261-020-02638-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/12/2020] [Revised: 06/23/2020] [Accepted: 07/04/2020] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE To assess technical and clinical outcomes following lumen-apposing covered self-expanding metallic stent (LAMS) placement for symptomatic pancreatic fluid collections (PFC) with CT and MRI. METHODS In this retrospective study, patients with PFC who underwent LAMS placement between March 2015 and June 2018 were included. Primary outcomes included technical success, defined as successful stent placement with resolution of PFC, and clinical success, defined as lack of fluid recurrence after stent removal. Secondary outcomes included time duration from stent placement to removal, complications, and re-intervention need. RESULTS 28 consecutive patients (20 men, mean age: 53 years ± 17; range 21-75) who underwent endoscopic drainage of symptomatic walled-off necrosis (WON, 21/28, 75%), pseudocyst (PC, 5/28, 18%) or acute necrotic collection (ANC, 2/28, 7%) were included. LAMS were placed successfully in 27/28 (96%) patients. On follow-up imaging after at least one month (n = 24), the volume of the PFC decreased by 99.9% from 425 cm3 [IQR 214 - 636] to 0.6 cm3 [IQR 0-43.9]. After stent removal, 26/27 (96%) patients remained collection free. The median time duration from stent placement to removal was 42 days [IQR 34-71]. Complications (10/28; 36%) included stent occlusion (n = 1), stent migration (n = 3), intraprocedural bleeding (n = 2), postprocedural bleeding (n = 2), and pseudoaneurysm formation (n = 2). Re-intervention was required in 7/27 (26%). CONCLUSION Following LAMS placement in patients with symptomatic PFC, high technical and clinical success rates of 96% and 96%, respectively, are achieved. Awareness of common complications seen on cross-sectional imaging might help radiologists and gastroenterologist in the patients' management.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Acute pancreatitis is common; the clinical course of this potentially severe condition varies widely. This paper aims to review the role of different imaging techniques in the management of acute pancreatitis, describe the main imaging findings for this entity, and explain the terms and criteria used to classify them. CONCLUSIONS Imaging techniques play a key role in the management of acute pancreatitis, from diagnosis and staging to identifying and treating complications, as well as in determining the underlying causes of the condition. For these reasons, radiologists should know the advantages and limitations of each imaging technique in the evaluation of acute pancreatitis, be familiar with the wide spectrum of imaging findings associated with it, and how to use the specific terminology derived from the Atlanta classification to ensure the standardization and quality of reports.
