Two cases of "pancreatic cholera" with features of peptide-secreting adenomatosis of the pancreas.

چکیده
The clinical data are presented of two women with profound metabolic upset from exceptional water and electrolyte losses in diarrhoea. One had an islet-cell adenoma of the pancreas and the other abnormal islets. Gastric and pancreatic function were abnormal in both, consistent with the subsequent demonstration of a pancreatic and choleretic secretagogue in the tumour tissue and pancreatic and gastric secretagogues in circulating blood (Cleator, Thomson, Sircus, and Coombes, 1970).

Background: A common treatment for patients with type 1 diabetes in which pancreatic beta cells are destroyed by their own immune system attack, is insulin injection. Because this treatment is not able to maintain complete glucose homeostasis compared to the function of endogenous insulin secreted by the pancreas; in the field of pancreatic tissue engineering, various treatment strategies have ...

VIPomas are rare neuroendocrine tumors that secrete vasoactive intestinal peptide. They are detected in 1 in ten million people per year. The majority of these tumors arises within the pancreas, but may also arise as other VIP-secreting tumors as in bronchogenic carcinoma, colon carcinoma, ganglioneuroblastoma, pheochromocytoma, hepatoma and adrenal tumors. They are characterized by profound di...
