ABSTRACT Background Covered self‐expandable metal stents (SEMS) are the standard for managing unresectable distal malignant biliary obstruction (DMBO), as they prolong the time to recurrent biliary obstruction (TRBO). However, fully covered SEMS (FCSEMS) increases the risk of cholecystitis and pancreatitis.

ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of spontaneously dislodging biliary stent (SDBS) placement in preventing acute cholangitis after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in patients with asymptomatic bile duct stones. Methods This retrospective, single‐center study included 63 patients (mean age, 73 ± 11 years; 43 men) who

What's New? Exposures and mechanisms that contribute to and promote pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remain unclear. In this study, the authors applied metabolomics to better understand PDAC etiology by examining associations between prediagnostic serum metabolites and PDAC risk.

Cholecystokinin: Clinical aspects of the new biology
Abstract Cholecystokinin (CCK) is a classic gut hormone that has been known for almost a century to regulate gallbladder emptying, pancreatic enzyme secretion, and gastrointestinal motor activity. In 1968, the CCK structure was identified by Viktor Mutt and Erik Jorpes from porcine gut extracts as a peptide of 33 amino acid residues.

Causal pathway illustration showing how specific gut microbiota regulate the risk of AP through genetic mechanisms, based on evidence from meta‐analysis and bidirectional MR studies. ABSTRACT Previous studies have established a causal relationship between gut microbiota and acute pancreatitis (AP) using Mendelian randomization (MR) methods, with a ...

Akkermansia depletion correlates with acute pancreatitis (AP) severity. A. muciniphila and its protein Amuc_1409 mitigate pancreatic/systemic inflammation by expanding Tregs and IL‐10. Mechanistically, Amuc_1409 binds Ube2k, inhibiting Foxp3 ubiquitination to stabilize Treg differentiation and IL‐10 production, countering SAP‐induced SIRS/CARS ...
