Pancreatogenic diabetes is a type of diabetes mellitus secondary to exocrine pancreatic disease， and it was officially proposed by the American Diabetes Association in 2014， with chronic pancreatitis as the most common etiology， followed by pancreatic cancer. At present， the misdiagnosis rate of this disease is extremely high， and patients with pancreatogenic diabetes have a higher risk of death and readmission than patients with type 2 diabetes. Therefore， it is of great significance to fully understand， correctly identify， and diagnose pancreatogenic diabetes in the early state， so as to reduce the disability rate and mortality rate of this disease. This article reviews the advances in the possible pathogenesis， diagnosis， treatment， and management of pancreatic diabetes secondary to pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer.

ObjectiveTo investigate the possible mechanism of Wenfei Huaxian Decoction （温肺化纤汤） in treatment of pulmonary fibrosis in systemic sclerosis-associated interstitial lung disease （SSc-ILD）. MethodsSixty C3H/He female rats were randomly divided into a control group， a model group， a pirfenidone group， and low-， medium-， and high-dose Wenfei Huaxian Decoction groups. The SSc-ILD model mice was established by subcutaneous injection of bleomycin solution 0.04 mg/d into the back of mice for 28 days in all groups but the control group. After successful modelling， the pirfenidone group was given pirfenidone capsule 300 mg/（kg·d） by gavage， the low-， medium- and high-dose Wenfei Huaxian Decoction groups were given Wenfei Huaxian Decoction 7.81， 15.62， and 31.24 g/（kg·d） by gavage， respectively， and the control group as well as the model group were given normal saline 0.1 ml/10 g by gavage， for a total of 21 days. At the end of the intervention， HE staining and Masson staining were used to observe the pathological changes in the skin and lung tissues； the hydroxyproline content of the skin and lung tissues was detected； the protein expression levels of endoplasmic reticulum stress-related proteins glucose-regulated protein 78 （BIP） and C/EBP homologous protein （CHOP） as well as those of nuclear factor kappa B （NF-κB） pathway p65 were measured by western blot； ELISA was performed to determine the expression levels of interferon gamma （IFN-γ）， interleukin 6 （IL-6） and tumour necrosis factor alpha （TNF-α） in serum of rats. ResultsThe results of HE and Masson staining indicated that compared with the control group， the dermis significantly thickened， the number of collagen fibers significantly enlarged， and the number of inflammatory cells significantly increased in the model group； the lung tissue showed a marked inflammatory cellular response with massive collagen fibre proliferation with inflammatory cell infiltration. Compared with the model group， the skin tissue and lung tissue collagen fibre proliferation significantly reduced and inflammatory cell infiltration reduced in the pirfenidone group and all dose groups of Wenfei Huaxian Decoction， and the effects of pirfenidone group and Wenfei Huaxian Decoction medium- and high-dose groups were basically comparable. Compared with the model group， the content of hydroxyproline in skin and lung tissue， the serum level of IFN-γ， IL-6 and TNF-α， and the expression levels of BIP and CHOP protein in lung tissue increased in model group （P＜0.05）. Compared with model group， the content of hydroxyproline in skin tissue of pirfenidone group， low-and medium-dose Wenfei Huaxian Decoction groups decreased， and the content of hydroxyproline in lung tissue of medium-dose Wenfei Huaxian Decoction group decreased. The serum level of IFN-γ， IL-6， TNF-α and the expression levels of BIP， CHOP and p65 protein in lung tissue of rats in pirfenidone group and high-dose Wenfei Huaxian Decoction group decreased （P＜0.05）. The content of hydroxyproline in lung tissue of medium-dose Wenfei Huaxian Decoction group was significantly lower than that of low-dose and high-dose Wenfei Huaxian Decoction group， and the serum level of IFN-γ， IL-6， TNF-α in low- and medium-dose Wenfei Huaxian Decoction group were higher than those in high-dose Wenfei Huaxian Decoction group. The expression level of BIP protein in high-dose group was significantly lower than that in low- and medium-dose Wenfei Huaxian Decoction groups （P＜0.05）. ConclusionWenfei Huaxian Decoction can improve the skin and lung fibrosis of SSc-ILD rats， which may act through anti-inflammation， inhibition of NF-κB pathway， and then inhibition of endoplasmic reticulum stress， which ultimately blocked the fibrotic process.

Pancreatogenic diabetes is a type of diabetes secondary to pancreatic exocrine disease， and it was officially named by American Diabetes Association in 2014. Chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer are the most common causes of pancreatogenic diabetes. The pathogenesis of this disease remains unclear， and there is still a lack of systematic treatment regimens， which leads to the extremely high misdiagnosis rate of pancreatogenic diabetes in China and globally. In addition， studies have shown that compared with patients with type 2 diabetes， patients with pancreatogenic diabetes tend to have higher risks of death and readmission， which brings great challenges to the health and clinical treatment of patients. Therefore， the comprehensive understanding and early accurate identification and diagnosis of pancreatogenic diabetes are of great significance in reducing the disability and mortality rates of this disease. This article elaborates on the possible pathogenesis of pancreatogenic diabetes.
