On the role of proteolytic enzymes in the pathogenesis of acute pancreatitis.

Acute pancreatitis may be induced by many different types of injuries to the organ. The tissue reaction may vary in severity, but it is believed that it varies little in character, whatever the agent causing the injury may be. For this reason acute pancreatitis is often defined as an acute inflammatory response of the pancreas to injury. In 1842 Classen (1) recognized acute pancreatitis and described its pathological picture. Soon after this, in 1850, Claude Bernard (2) induced the first experimental pancreatitis by injecting oil and bile into the pancreatic duct of animals.
