Reviewer's report: 
In this study Norkina et al. have investigated caerulein-induced acute pancreatitis in mice that 
constitutively overexpress Reg/PAP genes. This is an interesting manuscript on an important 
subject and the authors should be congratulated for trying to address this question. 
However, this manuscript will be further strengthened by histological evidence, especially 
histological scoring to substantiate the results that have been reported in the manuscript.
