Reported findings on endoscopic ultrasound examinations for chronic pancreatitis: toward establishing an endoscopic ultrasound quality benchmark.

abstract：:Human islets from an adult subject with nesidioblastosis were isolated and used to perform in vitro studies. Isolated nesidioblastotic islets showed an increased basal rate of insulin secretion (nesidioblastotic islets, 81.3 +/- 6.4 vs. control islets, from cadaveric organ normal donors, 10.2 +/- 0.9 microU/islet/90 m...
