Mitochondrial injury followed by ATP depletion in both acinar and ductal cells is a recently discovered early event in its pathogenesis. Importantly, preclinical research has shown that intracellular ATP delivery restores the physiological function of the cells and protects from cell injury, suggesting that restoration of energy levels in the pancreas is therapeutically beneficial. Despite several high quality experimental observations in this area, no randomised trials have been conducted to date to address the requirements for energy intake in the early phase of AP. METHODS/DESIGN: This is a randomised controlled two-arm double-blind multicentre trial. Patients with AP will be randomly assigned to groups A (30 kcal/kg/day energy administration starting within 24 hours of hospital admission) or B (low energy administration during the first 72 hours of hospital admission). Energy will be delivered by nasoenteric tube feeding with additional intravenous glucose supplementation or total parenteral nutrition if necessary. A combination of multiorgan failure for more than 48 hours and mortality is defined as the primary endpoint, whereas several secondary endpoints such as length of hospitalisation or pain will be determined to elucidate more detailed differences between the groups. The general feasibility, safety and quality checks required for high quality evidence will be adhered to. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: The study has been approved by the relevant organisation, the Scientific and Research Ethics Committee of the Hungarian Medical Research Council (55961-2/2016/EKU). This study will provide evidence as to whether early high energy nutritional support is beneficial in the clinical management of AP. The results of this trial will be published in an open access way and disseminated among medical doctors.

It may be due to the fact that this intrevention theoretically can cause further pancreatic injury or cannot always relieve the pancreatic duct obstruction. We hypothesize that maintaining the outflow of the pancreatic duct with preventive pancreatic stents at the early ERCP improves the outcome of acute biliary pancreatitis. METHODS/DESIGN: PREPAST is a prospective, randomized, controlled, multicenter trial. Patients with acute biliary pancreatitis with coexisting cholangitis are randomized to undergo urgent endoscopic intervention with or without pancreatic stenting within 48 h from the onset of pain, and in addition patients without signs of cholangitis but cholestasis are randomly allocated to recieve conservative treatment or early endoscopic intervention with or without pancreatic stenting within 48 h from the onset of pain. Patients without acute cholangitis and signs of cholestasis recieve conservative treatment. 230 patients are planned to be enrolled during a 48 months period from different centers. The primary endpoint is the outcome of acute biliary pancreatitis as described by the latest guidelines. Secondary endpoints include mortality data, and other variables not analyzed as a primary endpoint but related to the pancreatitis or the pancreatic stenting.

The assessment of severity is crucial in the management of the disease. Current methods of risk stratification in AP have a limited value, as they provide little additional information thus delaying appropriate patient care. Early recognition of severe disease may prevent serious adverse events and improve patient management as well as overall clinical outcome. METHODS/DESIGN: The EASY trial is an observational, multicenter, prospective cohort study for establishing a simple, easy and accurate clinical scoring system for early prognostication of AP. Evaluation of simple attainable potential prognostic parameters obtained at admission (or not later than 6-12 hours afterwards) from patients diagnosed with AP will be performed to assess their potential correlation with the disease severity. The selected parameters that show the strongest correlation with severe disease course will be further utilized as potential early severity prognostic markers for prospective new patient stratification. Comparison of patients' clinical course with the obtained results of early risk stratification may validate the utilized parameters as prognostic markers. The trial has been (i) discussed and (ii) accepted in a distinguished international scientific meeting, (ii) receiving the relevant ethical approval (TUKEB: 30595-1/2014/EKU), (ii) registered at the ISRCTN registry which is a primary clinical trial registry recognized by WHO (Trial registration number: ISRCTN10525246).

Pancreatic conditions which might cause diabetes mellitus include acute and chronic pancreatitis, pancreatic surgery, cystic fibrosis and pancreatic cancer. The development of diabetes greatly influences the prognosis and quality of life of patients with exocrine pancreatic diseases. It may cause life-threatening complications, such as hypoglycemia, due to the lack of glucagon and the impaired absorption of nutrients, or the micro- and macrovascular complications may impair the organ functions. Diabetes mellitus is an independent risk factor of mortality in those with exocrine pancreatic diseases. The treatment of pancreatic diabetes, a distinct metabolic and clinical form of diabetes, requires special knowledge. Diet and pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy may be sufficient in the early stages. Oral antidiabetic drugs are not recommended. If the diet proves inadequate to reach the glycemic goals, insulin treatment with multiple injections is required. Impairments of the exocrine pancreatic function and morphology in diabetic patients are frequent and well known. Atrophy of the exocrine tissue may be caused by the lack of trophic insulin, whereas pancreatic fibrosis can result from activation of stellate cells by hyperglycemia, or from microangiopathy and neuropathy. The regulation of the exocrine pancreatic function is also damaged because of the impaired effect of islet hormones. In the event of a proven impairment of the pancreatic exocrine function in diabetes mellitus, pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy is indicated.

Male Wistar rats were used in our experiments. Pancreatitis was induced by arginine, diabetes by STZ and regeneration was promoted by CCK-8. The serum amylase, glucose and insulin levels, the pancreatic contents of protein, DNA, amylase, trypsinogen and lipase, the pancreatic weight/body-weight ratio (pw/bw) and the plasma glucagon level were examined 1, 3, 7, 14 and 28 days after pancreatitis induction. Pancreatic tissue samples were examined by light microscopy and immunostaining on paraffin-embedded sections. The insulin and glucagon-containing cells were visualized by using monoclonal antibodies. The administration of low doses of CCK-8 accelerated the processes of regeneration following Arg-induced pancreatitis, but in rats that were also diabetic, pancreatic regeneration was not observed. The administration of low doses of CCK-8 seems to reduce the pancreatic beta -cell number and function in diabetic rats. The pancreatic endocrine function was further deteriorated by simultaneous Arg-induced pancreatitis. The diabetic state appeared to shift the normal pancreatic enzyme content (decreased amylase and increased trypsinogen) in this study.}, year = {2001}, eissn = {1096-1186}, pages = {363-372}, orcid-numbers = {Hegyi, Péter/0000-0003-0399-7259; Czakó, László/0000-0002-6331-0802; Rakonczay, Zoltán/0000-0002-1499-3416} } @article{MTMT:1073045, title = {Spontaneous and cholecystokinin-octapeptide-promoted regeneration of the pancreas following L-arginine-induced pancreatitis in rat}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/1073045}, author = {Hegyi, Péter and Takács, Tamás and Pintér Olivérné Jármay, Katalin and Nagy, I and Czakó, László and Lonovics, János}, doi = {10.1007/BF02788384}, journal-iso = {INT J PANCREATOL}, journal = {INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PANCREATOLOGY}, volume = {22}, unique-id = {1073045}, issn = {0169-4197}, abstract = {Conclusion. In L-arginine (Arg)-induced pancreatitis, evidence of acute inflammation was observed on d 1-3. Continuous tissue atrophy became visible at the sites of previous pancreatic necrosis, with simultaneous regeneration of the pancreas, mainly around the Langerhans islets, Administration of low doses of cholecystokinin-octapeptide (CCK-8) increased the inflammatory signs of pancreatitis in the early phase, but subsequently diminished the level of atrophy and accelerated the processes of regeneration in this model of pancreatitis. Background. The aim of this work was to study the regenerative processes following Arg-induced pancreatitis in rats. Besides the spontaneous regeneration, the effects of low doses of CCK-8 on the laboratory and morphologic parameters in this type of experimental pancreatitis were investigated. Methods. Male Wistar rats were divided into three groups. In group I, the rats received 200 mg/100 g body weight of Arg ip twice, at an interval of 1 h, and 0.5 mt saline was administered sc twice daily. In group II, besides the same amount of Arg, the rats received 1 mu g/kg of CCK-8 sc in 0.5-mL saline twice daily (7 AM and 7 PM). In the control animals (group III), an identical amount of glycine was administered ip instead of Arg at the same times. The rats were examined on d 1, 3, 7, 14, and 28 after pancreatitis induction. The pancreatic weight/body weight ratio (pw/bw) was calculated in each case. The serum levels of amylase, and glucose and the pancreatic contents of soluble protein, trypsin, amylase and DNA were determined, and histologic examinations were performed. Results. In groups I and II, both pw/bw (3.5 +/- 0.2 mg/g and 4.1 +/- 0.28 mg/g, respectively) and the serum amylase level (8900 +/- 560 IU/L and 11100 +/- 1390 IU/L, respectively) were significantly elevated on d 1 vs group III (2.1 +/- 0.06 mg/g and 5562 +/- 373 IU/L, respectively). Pw/bw was significantly decreased in groups I (0.96 +/- 0.12 mg/g, 0.8 +/- 0.1 mg/g, and 1.8 +/- 0.1 mg/g, respectively) and II (1.4 +/- 0.15 mg/g, 1.7 +/- 0.2 mg/g, and 1.95 +/- 0.1 mg/g, respectively) on d 7, 14, and 28 vs group III (2.6 +/- 0.3 mg/g, 3.1 +/- 0.15 mg/g, and 2.7 +/- 0.1 mg/g, respectively), whereas in group II it was significantly elevated vs. group I on d 7 and 14. The pancreatic contents of soluble protein, DNA, trypsin and amylase were significantly decreased on d 3-14 in groups I and II vs group III. The pancreatic DNA level was significantly elevated in group LT (1.23 +/- 0.2 mg/pancreas) vs group I (0.7 +/- 0.1 mg/pancreas) on d 7. In group II, the soluble protein (73.1 +/- 15.5 mg/pancreas) and amylase (1104 +/- 160 IU/pancreas) levels were significantly elevated on d 14 as was that of trypsin (27.2 +/- 3.1 IU/pancreas) on d 28, vs group I (26.4 +/- 5.3 mg/p, 525 +/- 111 IU/pancreas, and 16.3 +/- 1.1 IU/pancreas, respectively). On histologic sections, the signs of acute inflammation of the pancreas were more pronounced in group II than in group I on d 1-3. After that lime, in spite of the progressive atrophy of the pancreas, the signs of tis sue repair were more expressed in group II.}, year = {1997}, pages = {193-200}, orcid-numbers = {Hegyi, Péter/0000-0003-0399-7259; Czakó, László/0000-0002-6331-0802} }
