    Notes: We assessed HLA-DR types and investigated serum samples for islet-cell cytoplasmic antibodies (ICA) in 31 Danish patients with chronic pancreatitis. The antigen frequencies were compared with those in 1177 unrelated healthy Danish controls. Twenty patients had insulin-dependent diabetes and 11 had normal intravenous glucose tolerance. No significant differences in the frequencies of DR3, DR4, or DR2 were found between patients with insulin-dependent diabetes and patients with normal glucose tolerance or between any of these groups and controls. ICA were negative in all patients with chronic pancreatitis. It is concluded that the beta-cell dysfunction in insulin-dependent diabetes in chronic pancreatitis differs from that of classical insulin-dependent diabetes.

    Notes: AIM: To investigate the emptying of enzyme granules and dietary lipids in patients with pancreatic insufficiency secondary to chronic pancreatitis. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Seven patients with chronic pancreatitis and exocrine pancreatic insufficiency ingested a test meal including colloidal 99m-technetium-radiolabelled liver pate, and swallowed two pancreatin capsules, in which half of the granules had been replaced with 111-indium-radiolabelled plastic particles of comparable physical dimensions. The passage of the two isotopes was followed simultaneously by gamma camera imaging for direct visual judgement and calculation of mean gastric emptying time. RESULTS: Pancreatin granules and dietary lipids were observed to empty simultaneously. In the duodenum the particles and the test meal were well mixed. Mean gastric emptying time of radiolabelled liver pate and radiolabelled plastic particles could be calculated in six patients. The median of these values were 47 and 43 min, respectively (P = 0.69). CONCLUSION: Pancreatin granules sized 1.0-1.5 mm seem to empty together with dietary lipids.

    Notes: Patients with exocrine pancreatic insufficiency have steatorrhoea as well as vitamin B12 malassimilation. To investigate whether this is caused by the pancreatic insufficiency per se or whether intestinal bacterial overgrowth contributes to the condition, 10 patients with pancreatic steatorrhoea were studied. Intestinal culture was done. Lipid and vitamin B12 assimilation was estimated from faecal spot tests, using 14C-triolein and 58Co-vitamin B12 as tracers and 51CrCl3 as marker. Out of the 10 patients, 9 had either vitamin B12 malassimilation (n= 8), and/or bacterial overgrowth (n= 5). These 9 patients were retested with pancreatic enzyme therapy, with and without addition of the antibiotics metronidazole and cefalexin. The lipid assimilation was significantly increased by enzyme therapy but did not improve further on additional antibiotic treatment. The vitamin B12 assimilation did not improve significantly on enzyme therapy nor with additional antibiotic treatment.

    Notes: Summary Exocrine pancreatic function was evaluated by a Lundh meal test and a secretin-cholecystokinin test in 16 patients with chronic pancreatitis. B cell function was assessed by measuring the concentration of C-peptide after stimulation with oral glucose and intravenous glucagon. The C-peptide response to intravenous glucagon and oral glucose was closely correlated (r = 0.88,p 〈 0.01). Plasma C-peptide after glucagon was significantly correlated to the post-prandial concentration of lipase (r = 0.72,p 〈 0.001), amylase (r=0.64,p 〈 0.05) and to amylase output (r = 0.64,p 〈 0.05). Eight out of nine patients treated with insulin had residual B cell function, but it diminished significantly with increasing duration of diabetes. We conclude that B cell function is correlated to pancreatic enzyme secretion and that patients with insulin-treated diabetes secondary to chronic pancreatitis have a residual insulin secretion similar to that of patients with Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes.
