Pancreatic endocrine and exocrine function in children following near-total pancreatectomy for diffuse congenital hyperinsulinism. [PDF]

, 2016
Published onlineJournal ArticleCONTEXT: Congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI), the commonest cause of persistent hypoglycaemia, has two main histological subtypes: diffuse and focal.

Infantile exocrine pancreatic insufficiency due to a homozygous SPINK1 pathogenic variant in two siblings: A case report

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Infantile exocrine pancreatic insufficiency is a rare condition, most often encountered in the context of cystic fibrosis or Shwachman–Diamond syndrome. The SPINK1 gene encodes a trypsin inhibitor protein that prevents the premature activation of digestive enzymes in pancreatic tissue.

Measurement of the Proteinase Inhibitors of the Bovine Pancreas by Radioimmunoassay [PDF]

, 1976
Bovine pancreas contains two polypeptide trypsin inhibitors that are not homologous and differ in their inhibitory activity towards chymotrypsin, kallikrein, elastase, and other serine proteinases. The Kunitz inhibitor and the Kazal inhibitor are present

In Vivo Imaging of the Innate Immune System in the Pancreas in New‐Onset and Long‐Standing Type 1 Diabetes

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease, but knowledge of immune cell infiltration in the human pancreas is limited due to the risks associated with pancreatic biopsies. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of imaging innate immune cells in vivo using positron emission tomography (PET).

Removal of luminal content protects the small intestine during hemorrhagic shock but is not sufficient to prevent lung injury. [PDF]

, 2013
The small intestine plays a key role in the pathogenesis of multiple organ failure following circulatory shock. Current results show that reduced perfusion of the small intestine compromises the mucosal epithelial barrier, and the intestinal contents ...

Extracellular matrix and proteolysis: mechanisms driving irreversible changes and shaping cell behavior

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Irreversible ECM proteolysis by remodeling enzymes shapes development, homeostasis, and disease. ECM‐degrading proteases display cell specificity and are governed by shared mechanisms, exhibiting functional redundancy in generating matrikines, growth factors, and cytokines.

Behind the scenes: how the EMILIN/Multimerin family shapes the cancer landscape

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
The EMILIN/Multimerin family members regulate key hallmarks of cancer—including apoptosis, angiogenesis, metastasis, and tumor microenvironment remodeling. As indicated, their function in immune evasion, drug resistance, and metabolic reprogramming remains largely unexplored.

Degradomics for large‐scale mechanistic insights on proteases and proteolysis in human health

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Proteolysis has an important role in human disease but remains relatively unexplored. Degradomics, the uncovering of proteolysis in tissues, cells, and proteins, uses mass spectrometry‐based terminomics to identify protein termini occurring therein (forward degradomics) and to define the actions of proteases (reverse degradomics).

Fulminant type 1 diabetes with high‐titer anti‐glutamic acid decarboxylase antibodies: Likely rapid progression from stage 2 to 3

Journal of Diabetes Investigation, EarlyView.
Abstract A 61‐year‐old man visited our hospital with a sudden onset of polydipsia and polyuria occurring 5 days prior, accompanied by a 5‐kg weight loss. A month prior, his glycated hemoglobin level was 6.2%. Precisely 8 days before the first visit, he had a fever, and hyperglycemic symptoms began shortly thereafter.

Pathophysiology of acute experimental pancreatitis: Lessons from genetically engineered animal models and new molecular approaches [PDF]

, 2005
The incidence of acute pancreatitis is growing and worldwide population-based studies report a doubling or tripling since the 1970s. 25% of acute pancreatitis are severe and associated with histological changes of necrotizing pancreatitis. There is still
