Changes in glucose metabolism after Kausch-Whipple pancreatectomy in pancreatic cancer and chronic pancreatitis patients

Pancreas

Abstract

Although changes in exocrine pancreatic function after pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) have been thoroughly analyzed in many reports, articles concerning endocrine have been few. An investigation of glucose metabolism changes in patients undergoing PD was performed. In the study, 20 patients were subjected to pancreatic head resection for tumorous lesions (13 neoplasmatic and 7 chronic pancreatitis) and followed-up for changes in pancreatic endocrine function. It was assessed with fasting plasma glucose measurement and oral glucose tolerance test and also the plasma insulin level during the oral glucose tolerance test. Assessment was made directly before PD followed 2 and 6 months postoperatively. The percentage of neoplasmatic patients with normal glucose metabolism increased from 15% preoperatively to 39% at 2 months and 45% at 6 months after PD, whereas the diabetes/impaired glucose metabolism was observed in 31%/54%, 15%/46%, and 18%/36%, respectively. In chronic pancreatitis patients, the percentage of diabetic patients increased from 0% preoperatively to 29% at 2 months and 43% 6 months postoperatively. The average plasma insulin level decreased significantly after PD. Before the PD, the insulin curve suggested the presence of...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
