[Pathological anatomy and pathogenesis of experimental pancreatitis]
Abstract:
The necrotic and inflammatory processes in the albino rats pancreas were studied by histological, immunomorphological and electron microscopic techniques after freezing of the pancreas. Early morphological sings of acinar cells destruction were revealed. The mechanism of secret "leakage" from zimogen granules into acinar cell cytoplasm was shown. The stages of pathologic process corresponding to different types of pancreatitis were established. The inflammatory reaction formed in the stage of parenchymal necrosis was characterised by an early activation of fibroblastic and macrophagal cells and by the delay of necrotic tissue elimination with their following calcification. The chronic pancreatitis developed on the immune basis in the intact parts of the pancreas.

Acute Pancreatitis I: Introduction
Acute pancreatitis is characterized by rapid inflammation of the pancreas, often caused by factors like gallstone blockage or excessive alcohol consumption. Chronic pancreatitis, on the other hand, is a slow, progressive inflammation that may result from long-term alcohol abuse, obstructions in the pancreatic duct, or genetic factors.
The causes of acute pancreatitis include:
Chronic Pancreatitis I: Introduction
Pancreatitis is the inflammation of the pancreas, which occurs when the immune system becomes active and causes swelling, pain, and disruptions in organ function. Pancreatitis can manifest as either an acute or chronic condition.
Acute pancreatitis arises suddenly and lasts for a brief duration, while chronic pancreatitis is a long-term affliction...
