[Changes in the pancreas after obliteration of the pancreatic ducts in a dog with Hydron].
The development of pancreatic changes was studied after obliteration of pancreatic ducts by means af 2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate. The drug was injected into the main pancreatic duct of 15 dogs that were put to death successively and examined by histology. Necrosis of pancreatic duct epithelium was found in 4 days after the polymer administration in addition to focal periductal necrosis of acinar tissue and interstitial oedema with fibroblast activation. Later, a rapid development of fibrosis occurred which ensue in an extinction of exocrine tissue after 2 months. Pancreas consisted then but of connective tissue and cumulated Langerhans' islets with positive beta-granulations. Pancreatic ducts obliteration is a reliable method for selective inhibition of exocrine activity.
