Popis: Background. Joule measurement is an integral way of evaluating electrochemical properties of biological objects. This method has not yet been used in the study of electrochemical properties of the pancreas cyst contents. The aim of the research is to improve the diagnosis and patients’ treatment with pancreas cysts. Materials and methods. Electrochemical study was performed in 52 patients with pancreas cysts that were divided into two groups: Group 1 included 30 patients in whom the cyst was not connected with the system of pancreas ducts, group 2 – 22 patients with cysts connected with the system of pancreas ducts. The content of pancreas cysts, received after external drainage was transferred into the liquid flow counter which was connected to the joule measurement device, and then the current characteristics were recorded. Results. In the first group the average result was 2.52±1.03 μJ, and in the second group – 12.47 ± 2.66 μJ. We have obtained statistically reliable data on the relation between pancreas cysts and the ductal system. Conclusions. The use of the joul measurement method in patients with pancreas cysts allows identifying a connection with the ductal system, which further helps in determining the treatment strategy.
