Abstract

Objective  To explore the distribution and structure of pancreatic ducts and lobules in human pancreas and explore their clinical application value.    Methods  Three human pancreatic specimens were dissected, 2 of which were fresh whole pancreas samples which were collected from the donated human body after dead,UW organ preservation solution was immediately perfused, and the pancreatic duct was rinsed at low pressure. The surface and internal structure of 1 case was observed as a fixed specimen. Paraffin sections were taken for HE staining to observe the structure of lobules and the distribution of catheters in the leaves.   Results  The gross specimen showed that the pancreas was composed of lobules of different sizes, with thin layers of connective tissue between the lobules. The pancreatic duct had a complete cast structure and could be clearly displayed to the main duct and the branches of the interlobular duct. The diameters of the interlobular ducts varied widely, and finally a main trunk flowed into the main duct. Each trunk was distributed independently, and the distal pancreatic duct formed a lobule-like structure with different sizes of lobules and no interlobular communication. HE staining showed that the pancreatic lobules were surrounded by connective tissue, in which vascular and ductal structures were visible. Intralobular duct could also be observed in the pancreatic lobules.  Conclusion  The cast specimen of the human pancreatic duct can clearly show the branch distribution of the pancreatic duct, and the study of the morphological of the pancreatic duct and lobular structure is of great reference value for understanding the clinical problems.
