This is due to the fact that they prevent hydrolysis of IkB-a, which must be broken down if NF-kB activation is to occur. Under such conditions, the NFkB complex (p50, p65), which is interlocked with IkB-a protein, ca ...

Acute pancreatitis
Acute pancreatitis or acute pancreatic necrosis is a sudden inflammation of the pancreas. It can have severe complications and high mortality despite treatment. While mild cases are often successfully treated with conservative measures, such as fasting and aggressive intravenous fluid rehydration, severe cases may require admission to the intensive care unit or even surgery to deal with complications of the disease process.
