Abstract:
A method of determining pancreatic disease of the present invention is a method of determining whether an IPMN patient has pancreatic disease, the method including: a first step of measuring a concentration of S100P in duodenal juice of the IPMN patient; and a second step of determining the IPMN patient is a malignant IPMN patient or a pancreatic cancer patient when the concentration of the S100P is equal to or greater than a predetermined cutoff value, and the IPMN patient is a benign IPMN patient when the concentration of the S100P is smaller than the predetermined cutoff value.
Abstract:
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for evaluating the possibility of suffering from pancreatic disease on the basis of the concentration of a pancreatic disease marker in a duodenal juice sample. The method for evaluating the possibility of suffering from pancreatic disease of the present invention has a step for (a) measuring the concentration of the pancreatic disease marker in a duodenal juice sample taken from a subject and a step for (b) evaluating the possibility of the subject suffering from pancreatic disease on the basis of the concentration of the pancreatic disease marker measured in step (a) and the age of the subject.
Abstract:
This method for inhibiting protease in a biological sample containing pancreatic juice components inhibits protease enzyme activity in the biological sample by adding at least one type of protease inhibitor having a sulfonyl fluoride group to the biological sample containing pancreatic juice components. In addition, this protease inhibitor for a biological sample containing pancreatic juice components is a compound having a sulfonyl fluoride group, has protease inhibitory activity, and is added to a biological sample containing pancreatic juice components in order to inhibit protease present in the biological sample. Moreover, this kit for preserving a biological sample containing pancreatic juice components contains at least one type of protease inhibitory having a sulfonyl fluoride group, and is used to store a biological sample containing pancreatic juice components.
Abstract:
A method for suggesting a stage of progression of pancreatic cancer, includes: a first process of measuring a concentration of S100P or CEA in the duodenal juice; a second process of measuring a concentration of CA19-9 in a blood sample of the subject; and a third process of comparing the concentration of S100P or CEA with a first cutoff value, comparing the concentration of CA19-9 with a second cutoff value, suggesting the stage of progression of the pancreatic cancer based on the concentration of the S100P or CEA as an early stage, as a middle stage, or as a stage more progressed than the middle stage.
Abstract:
Provided are a method for exclusively selecting a duodenal fluid sample having a high possibility of containing pancreatic fluid and favorable sample suitability for subjecting to detection of a pancreatic disease marker by evaluating the quality of the sample prior to detecting the pancreatic disease marker, and a method for detecting a pancreatic disease marker using a duodenal fluid sample selected according to that method. Namely, a method is provided for selecting a duodenal fluid sample for detecting a pancreatic disease marker, comprising: (a1) a step of comparing the color depth of a duodenal fluid sample with a prescribed standard color, and (b1) a step of determining that a duodenal fluid sample is subjected to a test for a pancreatic disease marker if the color depth thereof is equal to or higher than the standard color, but that the duodenal fluid sample is not subjected to a test for a pancreatic disease marker if the color depth thereof is lower than the standard color.
Abstract:
A method for collecting tissue includes a body fluid removal step in which a body fluid inside a pancreatic cyst is moved to an outside of the pancreatic cyst, an injecting step in which a liquid different from the body fluid is injected into the pancreatic cyst, a collecting step in which the liquid is collected from the pancreatic cyst, and a separating step in which tissue of an inner wall of the pancreatic cyst, which is contained in the liquid collected from the pancreatic cyst, is separated from the liquid.
