Genetic Analyses of Cell-Free DNA in Pancreatic Juice or Bile for Diagnosing Pancreatic Duct and Biliary Tract Strictures [PDF]
Poor prognosis of pancreaticobiliary malignancies is attributed to intrinsic biological aggressiveness and the lack of reliable methods for early diagnosis.

Enterococcus spp. have higher fitness for survival, in a pH‐dependent manner, in pancreatic juice among duodenal bacterial flora [PDF]
Background and Aim Bacterial infection is involved in the progression of many gastrointestinal diseases, including those of pancreas; however, how and which bacteria colonize in pancreatic juice and tissue have yet to be elucidated. Recently, we reported

Pancreatic Juice Cytology Evaluations Using Synthetic Secretin and Serial Pancreatic Juice Aspiration Cytological Examination for the Diagnosis of Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma [PDF]
Pathological examination by endoscopic ultrasound–fine needle aspiration is not possible in approximately 10% of pancreatic tumor cases. Pancreatic juice cytology (PJC) is considered an alternative diagnostic method. However, its diagnostic capability is

Utility of “liquid biopsy” using pancreatic juice for early detection of pancreatic cancer [PDF]
Background Despite advances in the diagnosis of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA), histological evaluation of small and poorly defined masses in the pancreas is uncomfortable and unsafe. Methods We herein report a case of early stage PDA,

Diagnostic yield of liquid‐based cytology in serial pancreatic juice aspiration cytological examination [PDF]
Objectives Serial pancreatic juice aspiration cytological examination (SPACE) via endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography is a useful diagnostic method for early‐stage pancreatic cancer, such as carcinoma in situ that are difficult to diagnose by ...

The activity of trypsin in the pancreatic juice and blood of poultry increases simultaneously in the postprandial period [PDF]
Modern literature data indicate that the role of trypsin goes far beyond its digestive function. Once in the blood, trypsin is involved as part of the kallikrein-kinin system in the regulation of blood pressure, regulates pancreatic function by ...

Mutation analysis by deep sequencing of pancreatic juice from patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma [PDF]
Background Reliable methods are needed to identify patients with early-stage cancer or high-grade precancerous lesions in the pancreas. Analysis of pancreatic juice to detect somatic mutations could represent one such approach.

Carcinoembryonic antigen levels in pancreatic juice are associated with histological subtypes of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm of the pancreas [PDF]
Background The present study aimed to examine the correlation between preoperative carcinoembryonic antigen levels in pancreatic juice (PJ‐CEA) and the histological subtype of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN).
