Abstract:
Objective To observe the effect of 5 Fluorouracil(5 FU) on the exocrine pancreas. Methods The effects of 5 FU were investigated in 8 patients who had undergone pancreatoduodenectomy. The pancreatic juice was temporarily diverted to the exterior via a pancreatic duct catheter.Ten days after operation,the patients were injected intravenously with 5 FU 500 mg/d for three days. The samples of pancreatic juice were taken for measurement of amylase,pH, HCO 3 -, Na +, K +, Cl -, Ca 2+ and Mg 2+ .Results The amylase, pH, HCO 3 -, Na +, K +, Cl -, Ca 2+ and Mg 2+ did not alteredsignificantly before and after 5 FU injection.Conclusion 5 FU has no short term effect on exocrine pancreas. Therefore, improvement of acute pancreatitis cannot be achieved through inhibiting pancreatic enzymes synthesis.
