Histopathological changes of biopsied pancreata were examined in three diabetic patients with autoimmune chronic pancreatitis (ACP). We found intra- and periinsular mononuclear cell (MNC)-mainly CD8+ T cell-infiltration as well as MNC infiltration around the ductal cells. Islet beta cell volume decreased significantly. Some ductal cells expressed insulin and insulin promoter factor-1 concomitantly in the affected pancreas. These findings provide new insight toward understanding the pathological mechanisms of corticosteroid treatment-responsive diabetes associated with ACP.
对3例自身免疫性慢性胰腺炎(ACP)糖尿病患者活检胰腺的组织病理学变化进行了检查。我们发现胰岛内和周围有单核细胞(MNC)浸润,主要是CD8 + T细胞浸润,以及导管细胞周围的MNC浸润。胰岛β细胞体积显著减小。在受影响的胰腺中,一些导管细胞同时表达胰岛素和胰岛素启动因子-1。这些发现为理解与ACP相关的糖皮质激素治疗反应性糖尿病的病理机制提供了新的见解。
