    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Medicine
    • Gastroenterology
    • Pathology

    Context:

    • Acute pancreatitis is a serious condition requiring effective diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.
    • Minipigs serve as a valuable animal model for studying gastrointestinal diseases due to physiological similarities with humans.

    Purpose:

    • To establish a reproducible model of acute pancreatitis in Göttingen minipigs.
    • To investigate the inflammatory process induced by pancreatic duct stenosis and contrast medium administration.

    Summary:

    • Acute pancreatitis was induced in 30 minipigs by implanting a T-drain into the pancreatic duct (Ductus Wirsungianus).
    • The pancreatic duct was intentionally narrowed (stenosed) to one-third of its original diameter.
    • Inflammation was further triggered by contrast medium application, and the progression was monitored using biochemical, roentgenological, and histological methods.

    Impact:

    • Provides a robust animal model for preclinical research on acute pancreatitis.
    • Offers insights into the pathological mechanisms of pancreatitis induced by duct obstruction and contrast agents.
    • Facilitates the evaluation of novel diagnostic tools and therapeutic interventions for acute pancreatitis.
