Diagram showing proposed mechanisms of Traditional Chinese medicine for acute pancreatitis treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) induces apoptosis, accelerates pancreatic repair and regeneration, improves pancreas microcirculation and strengthens the immunity function and results in the pancreas protection. In addition, TCM mediates inhibition of inflammatory reaction, pancreatic enzymes, oxidative stress and intestinal bacterial translocation, which may contributes to the pancreas protection in AP treatment.
