Our study demonstrates that high-protein/cholesterol pattern scores are associated with higher prevalence of AFLD in males. We also show high-carbohydrate/sweet pattern scores are associated with higher prevalence of NAFLD in females; but, interestingly, this pattern shows a favorable effect on AFLD in males.

Ultrasound, MRCP and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography in combination with choledochoscope procedure in operation could improve the diagnostic sensitivity of Mirizzi syndrome. Intraoperative choledochoscope is effective to confirm Mirizzi syndrome during operation. Open surgery is the current standard for managing patients with Mirizzi syndrome. Laparoscopic surgery should be confined to Mirizzi syndrome type I and patients should be selected very strictly.

Sphingosine-1-phosphate and its analogue FTY720 significantly decreased pulmonary inflammation and injury in a rat model of acute lung injury caused by acute necrotizing pancreatitis and may represent a novel therapeutic strategy for the acute necrotizing pancreatitis-associated lung injury.
