A study on the activation peptide released from procarboxypeptidase B (CAPAP) and anionic trypsinogen in patients with acute abdominal disorders of non-pancreatic origin [PDF]
Background: The activation peptide released from procarboxypeptidase B, CAPAP, is a marker of the activation of pancreatic enzymes in acute pancreatitis while anionic trypsinogen (AT) levels in urine relate to leakage of unactivated proenzymes.

The Potential Ability of Betulinic Acid to Prevent Experimentally Induced Acute Pancreatitis in Rats
ABSTRACT Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a serious pancreatic inflammatory disease that results in pancreatic enzyme activation and autodegradation. Betulinic acid (BA), a pentacyclic triterpene of natural origin that was isolated from several plants, has anti‐inflammatory, immunomodulatory and antioxidant effects that can help with AP.

Critical Issues in the Management of CRMS/CFSPID Children: A National Real‐World Survey
ABSTRACT Background Notwithstanding guidance from the European Cystic Fibrosis (CF) Society (ECFS) neonatal screening (NBS) working group, significant variation persists in the evaluation and management of Cystic Fibrosis Screen Positive, Inconclusive Diagnosis (CFSPID) subjects, leaving many aspects of care under debate. This study reports the results

Disparities and therapeutic advances in cystic fibrosis
Abstract Cystic fibrosis (CF) has seen a multitude of therapeutic advances targeting its downstream effects. This has led to a steady increase in survival over the past few decades. The recent development of disease‐modifying drugs targeting the underlying CFTR mutation has revolutionized treatment for CF.

Trypsin IV, a novel agonist of protease-activated receptors 2 and 4 [PDF]
Certain serine proteases signal to cells by cleaving protease-activated receptors (PARs) and thereby regulate hemostasis, inflammation, pain and healing. However, in many tissues the proteases that activate PARs are unknown.
