Article Abstract
A 49-year-old man was diagnosed with severe acute pancreatitis because of pancreatic arteriovenous malformation (AVM). The pancreatic AVM spontaneously regressed during conservative treatment for severe acute pancreatitis. Transarterial embolization of an aneurysm in an artery branch flowing into the pancreatic AVM was performed using metallic coils, following amelioration of severe acute pancreatitis. The complete elimination of the pancreatic AVM was confirmed 1 year after embolization, and the patient has had no recurrence of pancreatic AVM and pancreatitis for over 6 years. Most cases of pancreatic AVMs with acute pancreatitis require surgical resection. This is a rare case in which the pancreatic AVM spontaneously regressed under the influence of acute severe pancreatitis.

Introduction: Conventional dendritic cells (cDCs) in the gut express the vitamin A (VA)-converting enzyme retinal dehydrogenase 2 (RALDH2) and produce significant amounts of retinoic acid (RA). RA derived from gut cDCs contributes to the generation of tolerogenic responses by promoting Treg differentiation while inhibiting Th1 and Th17 cell differentiation. In this study, we investigated whether similar RA-mediated immunoregulatory mechanisms operate in the pancreas using an experimental autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) model.

The characteristic pathological change in chronic pancreatitis (CP) is pancreatic fibrosis. In the early stages of CP development, injured acinar cells induce the infiltration of inflammatory cells, followed by pancreatic stellate cell (PSC) activation. Activated PSC induce the deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM) and promote the development of pancreatic fibrosis.
