Biliary duct disease: obstruction of the ampulla of the common bile duct can cause bile to flow backward into the pancreatic duct, and activate the unactivated trypsinogen to trypsin into the pancreatic tissue, causing self-digestion, gallstones, tumor compression, local edema, etc. common bile duct obstruction.

3. Pancreatic duct obstruction: Pancreatitis occurs due to increased pancreatic duct pressure, pancreatic acinar rupture, and abnormal pancreatic enzymes due to pancreatic duct obstruction, which is commonly seen in pancreatic duct spasm and duodenitis.
