Abstract
Type 3c diabetes mellitus (T3cDM), also known as pancreatogenic or pancreoprivic diabetes, is a specific type of DM that often develops as a result of diseases affecting the exocrine pancreas, exhibiting an array of hormonal and metabolic characteristics. Several pancreatic exocrine diseases and surgical procedures may cause T3cDM. Diagnosing T3cDM remains difficult as the disease characteristics frequently overlap with clinical presentations of type 1 DM (T1DM) or type 2 DM (T2DM). Managing T3cDM is likewise challenging due to numerous confounding metabolic dysfunctions, including pancreatic endocrine and exocrine insufficiencies and poor nutritional status. Treatment of pancreatic exocrine insufficiency is of paramount importance when managing patients with T3cDM. This review aims to consolidate the latest information on surgical etiologies of T3cDM, focusing on partial pancreatic resections, total pancreatectomy, pancreatic cancer and trauma.

Abstract
Post-pancreatitis diabetes mellitus, pancreatic cancer-related diabetes, and cystic fibrosis-related diabetes are often underappreciated. As a result, a substantial proportion of people with these sub-types of diabetes receive antidiabetic medications that may be suboptimal, if not harmful, in the context of their underlying disease of the exocrine pancreas. The present article delineates both classical (biguanides, insulin, sulfonylureas, α-glucosidase inhibitors, thiazolidinediones, and meglitinides) and newer (glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, amylin analogs, dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors, sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors, D2 receptor agonists, bile acid sequestrants, and dual glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide receptor co-agonists) therapies and provides recommendations for managing people with diabetes of the exocrine pancreas based on the most up-to-date clinical evidence. Also, several emerging directions (lipid-enriched pathways, Y4 receptor agonism, glucagon-like peptide-1 and glucagon receptor co-agonism) are presented with a view to informing the process of new drug discovery and development.

Number of recurrences is significantly associated with the post-acute pancreatitis diabetes mellitus in a population with hypertriglyceridemic acute pancreatitis. Lipids Health Dis 2023; 22:82. [PMID: 37386421 DOI: 10.1186/s12944-023-01840-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/02/2023] [Accepted: 05/31/2023] [Indexed: 07/01/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Twenty-three percent of patients are diagnosed with diabetes mellitus after the first episode of acute pancreatitis. The incidence of post-acute pancreatitis diabetes mellitus is significantly higher than that of type 1 diabetes mellitus. Some studies have concluded that the all-cause mortality and worse prognosis of diabetes after pancreatitis are higher. We predicted that number of recurrences of pancreatitis would be significantly associated with the incidences of metabolic syndrome, abdominal obesity, and post-acute pancreatitis diabetes mellitus. METHODS Patients admitted to our hospital for hypertriglyceridemic acute pancreatitis from 2013-2021 were selected for a cross-sectional study. Statistical analysis methods were used to analyze the effect of recurrences on the long-term prognosis of patients with hypertriglyceridemic acute pancreatitis. RESULTS In this study, 101 patients with hypertriglyceridemic acute pancreatitis were included: 60 (59.41%) in the recurrent acute pancreatitis group and 41 (40.59%) in the only one episode of acute pancreatitis group. Among all hypertriglyceridemic acute pancreatitis patients, approximately 61.4% were diagnosed with abdominal obesity, 33.7% of patients are diagnosed with metabolic syndrome, 34.7% of patients are diagnosed with diabetes mellitus, and 21.8% of patients are diagnosed with post-acute pancreatitis diabetes mellitus. Recurrent acute pancreatitis were independent risk factors for post-acute pancreatitis diabetes mellitus in patients with hypertriglyceridemic acute pancreatitis (odds ratio [OR] = 3.964, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.230-12.774) and the risk of post-acute pancreatitis diabetes mellitus in patients with three or more recurrent episodes was 6.607 times higher than that in patients without recurrent episodes (OR = 6.607, 95% CI = 1.412-30.916). CONCLUSIONS Recurrence is an independent risk factor for the development of post-acute pancreatitis diabetes mellitus and is significantly associated with the number of recurrences.

Abstract
Breast cancer is the second most prevalent malignancy affecting women. Postmenopausal women breast tumor is one of the top causes of death in women, accounting for 23% of cancer cases. Type 2 diabetes, a worldwide pandemic, has been connected to a heightened risk of several malignancies, although its association with breast cancer is still uncertain. In comparison to non-diabetic women, women with T2DM had a 23% elevated likelihood of developing breast cancer. It is difficult to determine causative or genetic susceptibility that connect T2DM and breast cancer. We created a large-scale network-based quantitative approach employing unbiased methods to discover abnormally amplified genes in both T2DM and breast cancer, to solve these issues. We performed transcriptome analysis to uncover identical genetic biomarkers and pathways to clarify the connection between T2DM and breast cancer patients. In this study, two RNA-seq datasets (GSE103001 and GSE86468) from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) are used to identify mutually differentially expressed genes (DEGs) for breast cancer and T2DM, as well as common pathways and prospective medicines. Firstly, 45 shared genes (30 upregulated and 15 downregulated) between T2D and breast cancer were detected. We employed gene ontology and pathway enrichment to characterize prevalent DEGs' molecular processes and signal transduction pathways and observed that T2DM has certain connections to the progression of breast cancer. Using several computational and statistical approaches, we created a protein-protein interactions (PPI) network and revealed hub genes. These hub genes can be potential biomarkers, which may also lead to new therapeutic strategies for investigated diseases. We conducted TF-gene interactions, gene-microRNA interactions, protein-drug interactions, and gene-disease associations to find potential connections between T2DM and breast cancer pathologies. We assume that the potential drugs that emerged from this study could be useful therapeutic values. Researchers, doctors, biotechnologists, and many others may benefit from this research.

Abstract
Pancreatogenic diabetes mellitus, also termed type 3c diabetes (T3cD), or glucose intolerance develops in 25%-75% of adults with chronic pancreatitis (CP). The primary pathophysiologic defect in T3cD is insulin deficiency, thought to result largely from "bystander" injury to the islets from fibrotic changes in the exocrine pancreas and cytokine-induced beta cell dysfunction from intrapancreatic inflammation.1.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Type 3c diabetes, also known as pancreatogenic diabetes, occurs when primary pancreatic disorders damage the pancreatic islets of Langerhans. Although often misdiagnosed as type 2 diabetes, type 3c diabetes is different in cause, clinical presentation, treatment, and prognosis. Patients with type 3c diabetes are more likely to experience complications and death related to hypoglycemic events. This article reviews the causes and management of type 3c diabetes, which is estimated to affect 5% to 10% of all patients with diabetes.

Abstract
ABSTRACT The association between acute pancreatitis (AP) and diabetes mellitus (DM) has long been established, with the initial descriptions of AP patients presenting with DM after a bout of AP published in the 1940s and 50s. However, the potential mechanisms involved, particularly those components related to the immune system, have not been well defined. The Diabetes RElated to Acute pancreatitis and its Mechanisms (DREAM) study is a multicenter clinical study designed to understand the frequency and phenotype of DM developing after AP. This article describes one objective of the DREAM study: to determine the immunologic mechanisms of DM after AP, including the contribution of β-cell autoimmunity. This component of the study will assess the presence of islet autoimmunity, as well as the magnitude and kinetics of the innate and adaptive immune response at enrollment and during longitudinal follow-up after 1 or more episodes of AP. Finally, DREAM will evaluate the relationship between immune features, DM development, and pancreatitis etiology and severity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Chronic pancreatitis (CP) is rare in childhood but impactful because of its high disease burden. There is limited literature regarding the management of CP in children, specifically about the various surgical approaches. Herein, we summarize the current pediatric and adult literature and provide recommendations for the surgical management of CP in children. METHODS The literature review was performed to include the scope of the problem, indications for operation, conventional surgical options as well as total pancreatectomy with islet autotransplantation, and outcomes following operations for CP. RESULTS Surgery is indicated for children with debilitating CP who have failed maximal medical and endoscopic interventions. Surgical management must be tailored to the patient's unique needs, considering the anatomy and morphology of their disease. A conventional surgical approach (eg, drainage operation, partial resection, combination drainage-resection) may be considered in the presence of significant and uniform pancreatic duct dilation or an inflammatory head mass. Total pancreatectomy with islet autotransplantation is the best surgical option in patients with small duct disease. The presence of genetic risk factors often portends a suboptimal outcome following a conventional operation. CONCLUSIONS The morphology of disease and the presence of genetic risk factors must be considered while determining the optimal surgical approach for children with CP. Surgical outcomes for CP are variable and depend on the type of intervention. A multidisciplinary team approach is needed to assure that the best possible operation is selected for each patient, their recovery is optimized, and their immediate and long-term postoperative needs are well-met.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Owing to the lack of data, we aimed to determine the etiology and outcome of acute recurrent pancreatitis (ARP) and chronic pancreatitis (CP) in children in Southeast Asia. METHODS This retrospective study was conducted at a university hospital in Bangkok, Thailand. We included patients aged <18 years who were diagnosed with pancreatitis from 2000 to 2021. RESULTS Among 155 patients with pancreatitis, 21 (13.5%) were diagnosed with either ARP (n = 7) or CP (n = 14). Clinical manifestations of CP included chronic abdominal pain (n = 10, 71.4%), steatorrhea (n = 8, 57.1%), and diabetes mellitus (n = 1, 7.1%). Positive radiological findings compatible with CP were detected from an abdominal ultrasound, computed tomography, magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography in 70%, 90.9%, and 92.9% of patients, respectively. Genetic, metabolic, and pancreaticobiliary causes were the major causes of ARP/CP (23.8% each) and the etiologies were unidentified in one-fifth of the patients. Patients with metabolic diseases who had AP were at-risk of developing ARP (hazards ratio [HR], 4.7, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.5-13.9). Children with ARP or CP were younger than those with AP (P = 0.04). Approximately two-thirds of patients with CP had growth faltering and they had more episodes of hospitalization due to acute attacks when compared to patients with ARP ( 4 [interquartile range [IQR], 3-6] vs. 3 [IQR, 2-3]; P = 0.02). CONCLUSION Genetic, metabolic, and pancreaticobiliary diseases were the common etiologies of ARP and CP among children living in a developing country in Southeast Asia. The burden of CP included malnutrition and frequent hospitalization. The findings emphasize the importance of an early etiological diagnosis and monitoring for pancreatic insufficiency in ARP/CP.

Abstract
Up to 9% of children with acute recurrent pancreatitis (ARP) or chronic pancreatitis have pancreatogenic diabetes mellitus (DM), and this risk likely increases as they age into adulthood. Risk factors for pancreatogenic DM in children vary depending on the clinical cohort but may include pancreatic atrophy, exocrine insufficiency, pancreatic calcifications, obesity/metabolic syndrome features, or autoimmune diseases. Knowledge regarding disease pathology is extrapolated nearly entirely from studies in adults. Insulin deficiency is the primary defect, resulting from islet loss associated with pancreatic fibrosis and cytokine-mediated β-cell dysfunction. Beta cell autoimmunity (type 1 diabetes) should also be considered as markers for this have been identified in a small subset of children with pancreatogenic DM. Hepatic insulin resistance, a deficient pancreatic polypeptide state, and dysfunctional incretin hormone response to a meal are all potential contributors in adults with pancreatogenic DM but their significance in pediatrics is yet unknown. Current guidelines recommend yearly screening for diabetes with fasting glucose and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c). Insulin in the first-line pharmacologic therapy for treatment of pancreatogenic DM in children. Involvement of a multidisciplinary team including a pediatric endocrinologist, gastroenterologist, and dietitian are important, and nutritional health and exocrine insufficiency must also be addressed for optimal DM management.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Approximately 20-30% of children who experience one episode of acute pancreatitis will have at least one additional episode. For some children, pancreatitis recurs multiple times and in a few years is followed by the diagnosis of chronic pancreatitis. Identifying risk factors for recurrent episodes and disease progression is critical to developing therapeutic interventions. RECENT FINDINGS Obesity is driving an increase in biliary stone disease and severe acute pancreatitis. Recurrent acute pancreatitis (RAP) may lead to the development of diabetes through autoimmune mechanisms. Cystic fibrosis or CFTR-related disorders may present as RAP and CFTR modulator therapy can increase or decrease the risk of acute pancreatitis in these populations. Children with Crohn disease have a three-fold risk of acute pancreatitis over the general population while children with ulcerative colitis are at increased risk for pediatric autoimmune pancreatitis, a disorder that may be distinct from autoimmune pancreatitis described in adults. Obstructive jaundice in the absence of identified mechanical factors may be a presenting sign of pediatric autoimmune pancreatitis. SUMMARY Pediatric RAP is a painful condition that leads to gland destruction and functional insufficiency. Risk factors are being clarified but preventive treatments remain elusive.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW In children, chronic pancreatitis is infrequent but may be associated with serious complications, including severe pain that limits activities, exocrine and endocrine pancreatic insufficiency and malnutrition. Investigation into pediatric chronic pancreatitis has transitioned from single center reports to multicenter, protocol-driven studies. As a result, we now have information on much larger numbers of children with chronic pancreatitis, allowing a more reliable understanding of the complications of chronic pancreatitis. RECENT FINDINGS A high percentage of children with chronic pancreatitis use opioids frequently to control pain. About a quarter of children with chronic pancreatitis have exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, and about 6% have pancreatogenic diabetes. Mild malnutrition and low bone density are both common in children with chronic pancreatitis. SUMMARY Large multicenter and single-center observational studies have allowed us to more accurately assess complications of chronic pancreatitis in children. These studies demonstrate the need for examination of therapies for these complications in children.

Abstract
Acute recurrent pancreatitis (ARP) is defined as two distinct episodes of acute pancreatitis (AP), whereas chronic pancreatitis (CP) is caused by persistent inflammation of the pancreas. In children they are caused by genetic mutations, autoimmune pancreatitis, congenital pancreatic abnormalities, and other conditions. Acute recurrent pancreatitis is frequently a precursor to CP, and both are thought to be on the same disease continuum. In particular, genetic factors are associated with early progression of ARP to CP. The diagnosis of CP, as in AP, is based on clinical findings, biochemical tests, and imaging studies. Findings of exocrine pancreatic dysfunction are also important in the diagnosis of CP. A step-up strategy has become increasingly standard for the treatment of patients with CP. This strategy starts with endoscopic treatment, such as pancreatic sphincterotomy and stenting, and progresses to surgery should endoscopic therapy fail or prove technically impossible. Non-opioid (e.g. ibuprofen / naproxen) and opioid (e.g. oxycodone) forms of analgesia are widely used in pediatric patients with AP or CP, whereas pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy may be beneficial for patients with abdominal pain, steatorrhea, and malnutrition. Despite the disparity in the age of onset, pediatric CP patients display some similarities to adults in terms of disease progress. To reduce the risk of developing pancreatic exocrine inefficiency, diabetes and pancreatic cancer in the future, clinicians need to be aware of the current diagnostic approach and treatment methods for ARP and CP and refer them to a pediatric gastroenterologist in a timely manner.

Pancreatology 2021; 21:74-80. [PMID: 33262050 DOI: 10.1016/j.pan.2020.11.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/23/2020] [Revised: 10/19/2020] [Accepted: 11/19/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Malnutrition and bone disease are common in adults with chronic pancreatitis (CP). We studied the nutritional status and bone mineral density (BMD) of children with CP and the factors predicting them. METHODS CP children were prospectively evaluated with a detailed questionnaire, anthropometry, 25-hydroxy vitamin D, fecal elastase and BMD [total body less head (TBLH), spine and hip] by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry. Body mass index (BMI) Z score of -1 to -1.9, -2 to -2.9 and <-3 was taken as mild, moderate and severe malnutrition respectively. Low BMD and osteoporosis were defined as per International Society for Clinical Densitometry. RESULTS 83 children (46 boys, 14[4.3-21]years) with CP were enrolled. Majority had Cambridge IV (51,62.2%) or III (15,18.3%) changes. 34(41%) had undernutrition (mild-37.3%, moderate-2.4%, severe-1.2%). Overweight and obesity were present in 3.6% and 1.2% cases. BMI had a significant correlation with haemoglobin, serum albumin, percentage body fat and BMD. A majority had low fecal elastase (69 [84.1%], <100 μg/g) and vitamin D deficiency (70[84.3%],<20 ng/ml). 9 cases had a history of fractures. 14/75(18.6%) cases had low TBLH-BMD and this group had a lower BMI (-1.3[-1.9 to 0.34] vs 0.8 [-2.1 to 5.50; p = 0.03) than patients with normal BMD. There was no difference in age, disease duration, vitamin D, fecal elastase and Cambridge grade between normal and low BMD. CONCLUSIONS 41% CP children have undernutrition with a majority having mild undernutrition. Nearly 20% have low BMD, with osteoporosis in none. Subjects with low BMI have lower BMD and percentage body fat.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES Pancreatogenic diabetes mellitus has been assumed to result from non-immune beta cell destruction when the pancreas is replaced by fibrotic tissue secondary to acute and chronic pancreatitis. We hypothesize that recurrent episodes of pancreatic inflammation may increase the risk for developing β-cell autoimmunity in susceptible individuals. METHODS We describe 11 patients who had both recurrent acute and/or chronic pancreatitis and type 1 diabetes (T1D) requiring insulin therapy. RESULTS All 11 patients had positive autoantibodies and 8 patients tested had minimal to undetectable (7/8) or moderate (1/8) stimulated C-peptide at 12 months after T1D onset. Three had biopsy confirmation of insulitis. CONCLUSIONS These cases lend support to the theory that pancreatitis may increase risk for T1D. We postulate that the pro-inflammatory conditions of pancreatitis may increase posttranslational protein modifications of β-cell antigens and neoepitope generation, which are potential initiating events for loss of β-cell self-tolerance.

Abstract
Recurrent acute and chronic pancreatitis are increasingly recognized in childhood. Etiologies are vastly different in children compared with adults and mostly involve genetic and anatomical factors with negligible contribution of environmental risks. Pediatric acute recurrent pancreatitis (ARP) and chronic pancreatitis (CP) have significant impact on quality of life with high healthcare costs. Children with these conditions suffer from recurrent acute or chronic abdominal pain and they endure multiple emergency room visits, hospitalizations, procedures, and surgeries. Diagnostic methods are being developed; treatment options are limited. This review summarizes the most recent developments in pediatric ARP and CP. These discoveries will help physicians provide optimal care for children with these conditions.
