Pancreatic carcinoma associated with chronic calcifying pancreatitis in Taiwan: a case report and review of the literature.

abstract：:A comparative study of antibacterial activity of pancreatic juice was conducted on six mammalian species. Pancreatic juice collections were conducted as acute (rabbit, guinea pig, rat) and chronic (pig, sheep, cattle) experiments, in the former before and after stimulation [cholecystokinin (CCK) and secretin] and in t...
