Objective To evaluate the effect of early enteral nutrition (EN) on the pancreatic exocrine secretion in dogs with acute necrotizing panereatitis (ANP). Methods ANP model was induced by injection of mixtured solution of 5% sodium tanrecholate and trypsin into the pancreatic duct. Thirty dogs were randomly divided into total parenteral nutrition (TPN) group (n=5), duodenal PEPTI-2000VARIENT (DP) group (n=5), duodenal Nutrison MuhiFibre (DN) group (n=5), jejunal PEPTI-2000VARIENT (JP) group (n=5), jejunal Nutrison MuhiFibre (JN) group (n=5). The dogs were treated by either TPN or EN 24 hours after ANP model induction and the nutrition support lasted for 5 days. Serum amylase, LDH, lipase, secretin (SEC), cholecystokinin (CCK) and gastrin were measured at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 d. Pancreatic juice was collected for 3 hours after TPN or EN started, and the amount of pancreatic juice and levels of proteinase, amylase, lipase, HCO3-, K+, Cl-, Na+ were determined. Dogs in each group were sacrificed at day 7. Histological and ultra-structure changes of the pancreatic tissues were evaluated pathologically. Results The levels of serum amylase, LDH, lipase, CCK, amount of pancreatic secretion and K+, Cl+, Na+ were not significantly different among these groups. The levels of plasma SEC and gastrin, HCO3-, proteinase, amylase, lipase in the duodenal nutrition groups were significantly higher than those in TPN group (P<0.05). The above mentioned parameters in the jejunal nutrition group were significantly lower than those in the duodenal group (P<0.05) and higher than those in the TPN group without significant difference. Among the 2 jejunal nutrition groups, the levels of plasma gastrin, HCO3- in pancreatic juice, proteinase, amylase, lipase in the JP group were significantly higher than those in the JN group (P<0.05). The above mentioned parameters in the DP group were significantly lower than those in the DN group (P<0.05). The amount of pancreatic secretion, HCO3-,K+, Cl+, Na+ were not significantly different among these groups. The pathological changes were similar among these groups, and the extent of pathological changes was relatively better in the JP group. The amount and density of intracytoplasm zymogen granules of pancreatic acinar cell were not significantly lower than those in the TPN group. Conclusions The delivery of nutrients to the proximal jejunum with elemental low-fat diets did not increase the pancreatic exacrine activity.

KRAS is one of the most frequently mutated human oncogenes. In spite of mounting efforts on the development of direct or indirect inhibition targeting KRAS, little has been achieved because of insurmountable difficulties, titling KRAS "undruggable". Recently, subtype-specific inhibitors have shown great hope. Some KRASG12C inhibitors have entered clinical trials, including adagrasib and sotorasib, and have shown preliminary clinical effectiveness. Experiences from the inhibitors targeting the downstream factors of RAS pathways show that the anticancer activity of these drugs will be limited due to the development of drug resistance. Preclinical studies of KRASG12C inhibitors have revealed that the application of these agents might be hampered by the drug resistance issue. The current review aims to describe the current status of KRASG12C inhibitors, and discuss the mechanisms underlying KRASG12C inhibitor resistance, so as to provide the clues for the combat of drug resistance.

The task of segmenting histiocyte is a crucial step in the analysis of histiocytic images which is an important application of computer vision to histopathology. The algorithm presented in this article was composed of two steps: (1) the morph-based preprocessing; (2) the ameliorated watershed method. In the first step, the difference between histiocytes was magnified in order to increase the visibility from the view of the computer vision, and then the ameliorated terrace-flooding-simulated watershed method was used to achieve the segmentation of histiocytic images in the second step. To test the performance of the algorithm, different samples of visual quality were tested and the result figures proved successful.

Objective To establish animal model for hypertrophic scar and study the characters of its morphology and collagen metabolism. Methods A total of 64 round wounds (diameter of 6 mm each) with total skin loss were made on the ventral side of rabbit ear using a trephine. Morphology and collagen metabolism of scar wounds were studied at 14,21,35,70 and 98 days after operation, respectively. Results There were 76% elevated scars developed (45/59 wounds) on the ventral side of rabbit ear at 21 days and 46% elevated scars disappeared (11/24) at 98 days after operation. There were numerous fibroblast proliferation and whorl-arranged collagen fibers at 21 and 35 days. The number of fibroblast decreased, but irregular-arranged fibers still presented in the elevated scars at 70 and 98 days after operation. Hydroxyproline content in elevated scars at 21 days was higher than that in normal skin (P<0.05), and at 35 days was 3 times as that in normal skin and at 98 days was also markedly higher than that in normal skin (P<0.05). Conclusion Excessive deposition of collagen is a characteristic of hypertrophic scar in rabbits. The conversion of normal scarring to hypertrophic scarring in rabbits occurs at 14~21 days after operation. Both development and regression of hypertrophic scar in rabbit are quicker than that in human.
