Abstract
BACKGROUND Low-dose aspirin (LDA) administration is associated with an elevated risk of recurring peptic ulcer (PU) and gastrointestinal (GI) hemorrhage. AIMS This systematic review and Bayesian network meta-analysis aimed to comprehensively assess the effectiveness of diverse medications in preventing the recurrence of PU and GI hemorrhage in patients with a history of PU receiving long-term LDA therapy. METHODS This systematic review and network meta-analysis followed Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement and was registered on PROSPERO (CRD42023406550). We searched relevant studies in main databases from inception to March 2023. All statistical analyses were performed using R (version 4.1.3), with the "Gemtc" (version 1.0-1) package. The pooled risk ratio (RR), corresponding 95% credible interval (95% CrI), and the surface under the cumulative ranking curve (SUCRA) were calculated. RESULTS 11 Randomized clinical trials (RCTs) were included. The analysis underscored pantoprazole was the most efficacious for reducing the risk of PU recurrence (RR [95% CrI] = 0.02 [0, 0.28]; SUCRA: 90.76%), followed by vonoprazan (RR [95% CrI] = 0.03 [0, 0.19]; SUCRA: 86.47%), comparing with the placebo group. Pantoprazole also performed well in preventing GI hemorrhage (RR [95% CrI] = 0.01[0, 0.42]; SUCRA: 87.12%) compared with Teprenone. CONCLUSIONS For patients with a history of PU receiving LDA, pantoprazole and vonoprazan might be the optimal choices to prevent PU recurrence and GI hemorrhage.

Abstract
It has been established that monotherapy yields limited efficacy in treating hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), especially advanced HCC. Increasing evidence from preclinical studies and clinical trials indicates that combining multiple drugs can potentially refine treatment efficacy. Accordingly, it is crucial to explore more effective clinically feasible combination therapies to enhance the treatment outcomes of HCC patients. This study evaluated the antitumor efficacy and safety of combination therapy involving aspirin and lenvatinib in HCC. Through in vitro and in vivo assays, we demonstrated that this combination yielded stronger antitumor effects compared to lenvatinib or aspirin monotherapy. Furthermore, no significant adverse events were observed in an HCC mouse model during treatment. Mechanistic studies revealed that aspirin plus lenvatinib could target multiple oncogenes and tumor suppressors, affecting diverse signaling pathways in various biological processes conducive to antitumor effects. Overall, our findings suggest that aspirin plus lenvatinib could serve as a promising combination regimen to improve the therapeutic outcomes of HCC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Low-dose aspirin (LDA) is used to prevent recurrent cardiovascular (CV) events, but is associated with upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding; concomitant use of a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) reduces this risk. This study aimed to assess the cost-effectiveness of vonoprazan compared with PPIs (lansoprazole and esomeprazole) in patients taking LDA for secondary prevention of CV events.Methods and Results: A Markov simulation model was developed to predict the number of GI bleeding and acute CV events using 3 strategies (vonoprazan+LDA, esomeprazole+LDA, and lansoprazole+LDA), which were translated into quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) and costs. Transition probabilities and utilities were derived from the results of published literature, and medical costs were based on the Japanese National Health Insurance fee table and claims databases in 2020. Outcomes were projected over 30 years starting at age 65 years and discounted at 2% annually. Expected costs with esomeprazole 20 mg, lansoprazole 15 mg and vonoprazan 10 mg were JPY 1,225,657, JPY 943,930, and JPY 1,059,510, respectively. The QALY gain for vonoprazan vs. esomeprazole was 0.35, thus vonoprazan was dominant against esomeprazole. The QALY gain for vonoprazan vs. lansoprazole was 0.29 and the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) was JPY 398,551, thus, vonoprazan was more cost-effective than lansoprazole. CONCLUSIONS Vonoprazan is dominant or cost-effective compared with esomeprazole and lansoprazole in patients taking LDA for secondary prevention of CV events.

Abstract
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) injure the proximal and distal gut by different mechanisms. While many drugs reduce gastrointestinal injury, no drug directly stimulates mucosal wound healing. Focal adhesion kinase (FAK), a non-receptor tyrosine kinase, induces epithelial sheet migration. We synthesized and evaluated a water-soluble FAK-activating small molecule, M64HCl, with drug-like properties. Monolayer wound closure and Western blots measured migration and FAK phosphorylation in Caco-2 cells, in vitro kinase assays established FAK activation, and pharmacologic tests assessed drug-like properties. 30 mg/kg/day M64HCl was administered in two murine small intestine injury models for 4 days. M64HCl (0.1-1000 nM) dose-dependently increased Caco-2 FAK-Tyr 397 phosphorylation, without activating Pyk2 and accelerated Caco-2 monolayer wound closure. M64HCl dose-responsively activates the FAK kinase domain vs. the non-salt M64, increasing the Vmax of ATP-binding. Pharmacologic tests suggested M64HCl has drug-like properties and is enterally absorbed. M64HCl 25 mg/kg/day continuous infusion promoted healing of ischemic jejunal ulcers and indomethacin-induced small intestinal injury in C57Bl/6 mice. M64HCl-treated mice exhibited smaller ulcers 4 days after ischemic ulcer induction or indomethacin injury. Renal histology and plasma creatinine were normal. Mild hepatic inflammatory changes and ALT elevation were similar among M64HCl-treated mice and controls. M64HCl was concentrated in kidney and gastrointestinal mucosa and functional nephrectomy studies suggested predominantly urinary excretion. Little toxicity was observed in vitro or in single-dose mouse toxicity studies until >1000x higher than effective concentrations. M64HCl, a water-soluble FAK activator, promotes epithelial restitution and intestinal mucosal healing and may be useful to treat gut mucosal injury.

Helicobacter pylori eradication for primary prevention of peptic ulcer bleeding in older patients prescribed aspirin in primary care (HEAT): a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. Lancet 2022; 400:1597-1606. [PMID: 36335970 DOI: 10.1016/s0140-6736(22)01843-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/20/2022] [Revised: 09/13/2022] [Accepted: 09/20/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Peptic ulcers in patients receiving aspirin are associated with Helicobacter pylori infection. We aimed to investigate whether H pylori eradication would protect against aspirin-associated ulcer bleeding. METHODS We conducted a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial (Helicobacter Eradication Aspirin Trial [HEAT]) at 1208 primary care centres in the UK, using routinely collected clinical data. Eligible patients were aged 60 years or older who were receiving aspirin at a daily dose of 325 mg or less (with four or more 28-day prescriptions in the past year) and had a positive C13 urea breath test for H pylori at screening. Patients receiving ulcerogenic or gastroprotective medication were excluded. Participants were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive either a combination of oral clarithromycin 500 mg, metronidazole 400 mg, and lansoprazole 30 mg (active eradication), or oral placebo (control), twice daily for 1 week. Participants, their general practitioners and health-care providers, and the research nurses, trial team, adjudication committee, and analysis team were all masked to group allocation throughout the trial. Follow-up was by scrutiny of electronic data in primary and secondary care. The primary outcome was time to hospitalisation or death due to definite or probable peptic ulcer bleeding, and was analysed by Cox proportional hazards methods in the intention-to-treat population. This trial is registered with EudraCT, 2011-003425-96. FINDINGS Between Sept 14, 2012, and Nov 22, 2017, 30 166 patients had breath testing for H pylori, 5367 had a positive result, and 5352 were randomly assigned to receive active eradication (n=2677) or placebo (n=2675) and were followed up for a median of 5·0 years (IQR 3·9-6·4). Analysis of the primary outcome showed a significant departure from proportional hazards assumptions (p=0·0068), requiring analysis over separate time periods. There was a significant reduction in incidence of the primary outcome in the active eradication group in the first 2·5 years of follow-up compared with the control group (six episodes adjudicated as definite or probable peptic ulcer bleeds, rate 0·92 [95% CI 0·41-2·04] per 1000 person-years vs 17 episodes, rate 2·61 [1·62-4·19] per 1000 person-years; hazard ratio [HR] 0·35 [95% CI 0·14-0·89]; p=0·028). This advantage remained significant after adjusting for the competing risk of death (p=0·028) but was lost with longer follow-up (HR 1·31 [95% CI 0·55-3·11] in the period after the first 2·5 years; p=0·54). Reports of adverse events were actively solicited; taste disturbance was the most common event (787 patients). INTERPRETATION H pylori eradication protects against aspirin-associated peptic ulcer bleeding, but this might not be sustained in the long term.

Abstract
Dual-antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) prevents thrombotic complications associated with coronary artery disease, acute coronary syndrome, and stent thrombosis following the percutaneous coronary intervention or coronary artery bypass grafting. When initiating DAPT, the risk of thrombosis must be balanced with the increased risk of upper gastrointestinal bleed (UGIB). Proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs) are concurrently prescribed with DAPT to reduce bleeding risk. In this review, we discuss the benefits and potential complications of DAPT/PPI co-prescription. The only large international randomized control trial (RCT), Clopidogrel and the Optimization of Gastrointestinal Events Trial (COGENT), shows robust evidence that PPIs are a safe and effective method to reduce the risk of bleeding in patients on DAPT. However, more large-scale RCTs are needed to study potential long-term effects and draw a stronger conclusion on this topic.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Interventional embolization is an important method for the treatment of peptic ulcer bleeding , which can effectively stop bleeding and improve the success rate of treatment. At present, the effect of interventional embolization in the treatment of massive bleeding from gastrointestinal ulcer caused by antiplatelet drugs in elderly patients has been confirmed in many studies, but the incidence of postoperative rebleeding is high, and there are many influencing factors for rebleeding. There are still 10%-30% of patients with rebleeding, which is a serious threat to their life safety, and the results are different across studies and reports. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the influencing factors for rebleeding in patients with gastrointestinal ulcer bleeding caused by antiplatelet drugs after interventional embolization through single and multi-factor methods, so as to provide a reference for future clinical treatment.
AIM To investigate the effect of interventional embolization in the treatment of massive hemorrhage from peptic ulcer caused by antiplatelet drugs in elderly patients, and to analyze the prognostic factors.
METHODS From May 2016 to May 2020, 255 patients with massive gastrointestinal ulcer hemorrhage caused by antiplatelet drugs at our hospital were prospectively selected. All patients received interventional embolization. The hemostatic effect, complications, and prognosis were recorded. Logistic regression equation was used to analyze the prognostic factors.
RESULTS The effective rate of hemostasis was 94.90% in 255 elderly patients with gastrointestinal ulcer bleeding caused by antiplatelet drugs, and the complication rate was 2.75% (7/255). After 30 d of follow-up, it was found that antiplatelet drugs caused serious bleeding in elderly patients with gastrointestinal ulcer. The bleeding rate was 12.81%. According to the 30-day prognosis, the patients were divided into either a rebleeding group (n = 31) or a non-rebleeding group (n = 211); the two groups differed significantly in age, duration of antiplatelet drug use, ulcer history, gastrointestinal malignant tumor hist
ory, Helicobacter pylori positive status, hematemesis, shock, blood transfusion, Hb, ALB, ANC, BUN, PLT, ulcer location, and ulcer size (P < 0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that age, duration of antiplatelet drug use, ulcer history, Helicobacter pylori positive status, shock, blood transfusion, ANC, BUN, and Forrest grade Ia were the prognostic risk factors for elderly patients with peptic ulcer bleeding caused by antiplatelet drugs, while Hb, ALB, and PLT were identified to be prognostic protective factors (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION Interventional embolization can improve the hemostatic effect of antiplatelet drugs in elderly patients with gastrointestinal ulcer hemorrhage, but rebleeding tends to occur. Since rebleeding is closely related to blood transfusion, BUN, Hb, and other factors, it is recommended that clinical monitoring and intervention of the above indicators be carried out to reduce the incidence of rebleeding and improve the prognosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Low-dose aspirin (LDA) administration prevents cerebral infarction and myocardial infarction, but many studies found an association with mucosal injury. Proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs) can prevent gastric and duodenal mucosal damage, but they may exacerbate small-intestinal mucosal injury by altering the microbiota. We aimed to assess the effect of PPIs on the intestinal flora of LDA users. METHODS Thirty-two recruited patients, who received LDA (100 mg/day) but did not take PPIs, were divided into 15 patients additionally receiving esomeprazole (20 mg/day) and 17 patients additionally receiving vonoprazan (10 mg/day). On days 0, 30, 90, and 180, the microbiota of each patient was examined by terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis, and the serum gastrin, hemoglobin, and hematocrit levels were measured. RESULTS Additional PPI administration increased the proportion of Lactobacillales in the microbiota of LDA users. This trend was more prevalent in the vonoprazan group (p < 0.0001) than in the esomeprazole group (p = 0.0024). The Lactobacillales proportion was positively correlated with the gastrin level (r = 0.5354). No significant hemoglobin or hematocrit level reduction was observed in subjects receiving LDA with additional PPI. CONCLUSIONS Additional PPI administration increased the Lactobacillales proportion in the microbiota of LDA users. The positive correlation between the gastrin level and the proportion of Lactobacillales suggested that the change in the intestinal flora was associated with the degree of suppression of gastric acid secretion. Additional oral PPI did not significantly promote anemia, but the risk of causing PPI-induced small-intestinal mucosal injury in LDA users should be considered.

Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev 2021; 30:1106-1113. [PMID: 33849967 DOI: 10.1158/1055-9965.epi-19-1580] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2020] [Revised: 05/08/2020] [Accepted: 03/29/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Inherited genetic variants can modify the cancer-chemopreventive effect of aspirin. We evaluated the clinical and economic value of genotype-guided aspirin use for colorectal cancer chemoprevention in average-risk individuals. METHODS A decision analytical model compared genotype-guided aspirin use versus no genetic testing, no aspirin. The model simulated 100,000 adults ≥50 years of age with average colorectal cancer and cardiovascular disease risk. Low-dose aspirin daily starting at age 50 years was recommended only for those with a genetic test result indicating a greater reduction in colorectal cancer risk with aspirin use. The primary outcomes were quality-adjusted life-years (QALY), costs, and incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER). RESULTS The mean cost of using genotype-guided aspirin was $187,109 with 19.922 mean QALYs compared with $186,464 with 19.912 QALYs for no genetic testing, no aspirin. Genotype-guided aspirin yielded an ICER of $66,243 per QALY gained, and was cost-effective in 58% of simulations at the $100,000 willingness-to-pay threshold. Genotype-guided aspirin was associated with 1,461 fewer polyps developed, 510 fewer colorectal cancer cases, and 181 fewer colorectal cancer-related deaths. This strategy prevented 1,078 myocardial infarctions with 1,430 gastrointestinal bleeding events, and 323 intracranial hemorrhage cases compared with no genetic testing, no aspirin. CONCLUSIONS Genotype-guided aspirin use for colorectal cancer chemoprevention may offer a cost-effective approach for the future management of average-risk individuals. IMPACT A genotype-guided aspirin strategy may prevent colorectal cancer, colorectal cancer-related deaths, and myocardial infarctions, while minimizing bleeding adverse events. This model establishes a framework for genetically-guided aspirin use for targeted chemoprevention of colorectal cancer with application toward commercial testing in this population.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a major issue in aging patients with hemophilia (PWHs). Antithrombotic agents are widely used in the general population for CVD treatment, but this recommendation is not fully applicable to PWHs. To improve treatment strategies, a prospective case-control study (COCHE) that analyzed CVD management and follow-up (2 years/patient) in PWHs was performed in France from 2011 to 2018. In total, 68 PWHs (median age: 65 years [39-89]; 48 mild, 10 moderate, and 10 severe hemophilia) were included (n = 50 with acute coronary syndrome, n = 17 with atrial fibrillation, n = 1 with both). They were matched with 68 control PWHs without antithrombotic treatment. In our series, bleeding was significantly influenced by (1) hemophilia severity, with a mean annualized bleeding ratio significantly higher in COCHE patients than in controls with basal clotting factor level up to 20%, (2) antihemorrhagic regimen (on-demand vs. prophylaxis) in severe (hazard ratio [HR] = 16.69 [95% confidence interval, CI: 8.2-47.26]; p < 0.0001) and moderate hemophilia (HR = 42.43 [95% CI: 1.86-966.1]; p = 0.0028), (3) type of antithrombotic treatment in mild hemophilia, with a significantly higher risk of bleeding in COCHE patients than in controls for dual-pathway therapy (HR = 15.64 [95% CI: 1.57-115.8]; p = 0.019), anticoagulant drugs alone (HR = 9.91 [95% CI: 1.34-73.47]; p = 0.0248), dual antiplatelet therapy (HR = 5.31 [95% CI: 1.23-22.92]; p = 0.0252), and single antiplatelet therapy (HR = 3.76 [95% CI: 1.13-12.55]; p = 0.0313); and (4) HAS-BLED score ≥3 (odds ratio [OR] = 33 [95% CI: 1.43-761.2]; p = 0.0065). Gastrointestinal bleeding was also significantly higher in COCHE patients than in controls (OR = 15 [95% CI: 1.84-268]; p = 0.0141). The COCHE study confirmed that antithrombotic treatments in PWHs are associated with increased bleeding rates in function of hemophilia-specific factors and also of known factors in the general population.

Abstract
Elderly patients represent a growing proportion of the acute coronary syndrome population in Western countries. However, their frequent atypical symptoms at presentation often lead to delays in management and to misdiagnosis. Furthermore, their prognosis is poorer than that of younger patients because of physiological changes in platelet function, haemostasis and fibrinolysis, but also a higher proportion of comorbidities and frailty, both of which increase the risk of recurrent thrombotic and bleeding events. This complex situation, with ischaemic and haemorrhagic risk factors often being intertwined, may lead to confusion about the required treatment strategy, sometimes resulting in inadequate management or even to therapeutic nihilism. It is therefore critical to provide a comprehensive overview of our understanding of the pathophysiological processes underlying acute coronary syndrome in elderly patients, and to summarise the results from the latest clinical trials to help decision making for these high-risk patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to estimate the prevalence rate and risk factors of medication-related problems (MRPs) leading to hospital admissions in Thai older patients. METHODS A prospective observational study was carried out in nine hospitals in Lower Northern Thailand. Participants admitted to internal medicine units were screened for suspected MRPs by clinical pharmacists using medical record review and patient interview. Three experts evaluated suspected MRPs independently using the following four criteria: contribution of MRPs to hospital admissions, causality, severity, and preventability. RESULTS Of 1776 patients admitted during the study period, 56 patients (3.2%) were deemed to have causal MRPs; 24 (42.9%) were judged as preventable. The medication groups most commonly associated with MRPs were those targeting the endocrine system, especially antidiabetic medications, such as metformin and glipizide. Preventable MRPs were usually manifest as hypoglycemia (n = 15, 62.5%). The variables that contributed to hospital admissions associated with MRPs were age (odds ratio = 1.92; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.06-3.47), starting a new drug within 1 week (odds ratio = 2.31; 95% CI = 1.08-4.95), or within 1 month (odds ratio = 2.17; 95% CI = 1.05-4.48). CONCLUSIONS Hospital admissions associated with MRPs in Thai older patients continue to burden the Thai healthcare system of which nearly half were preventable. Further studies should consider analysis of costs and include hepatic and renal function status of participants.

Abstract
Background The increasing use of antithrombotic therapies in older patients has led to an increased risk of gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding in chronic nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) users. Therefore, there is a pressing need for GI prophylaxis in these high-risk patients. Objective To analyze prescribing patterns and factors associated with the use of gastroprotective agents (GPAs) among high-risk, chronic NSAID users. Setting National claims database including 20% of the total Korean population aged ≥ 65 years. Method In this cross-sectional study, we identified older adults prescribed traditional NSAIDs for > 90 days and classified them into high- and ultra-high-risk groups if they had one or two or more GI risk factors, respectively. Proton pump inhibitors or misoprostol prescribed for more than 80% of traditional NSAID treatment days was regarded as appropriate GI prophylaxis. Main outcome measure Prevalence and associated factors with appropriate GI prophylaxis. Results Among 69,992 chronic traditional NSAID users, 38.8% and 9.4% belonged to the high and ultra-high-risk groups; 13.2% and 19.9% received appropriate GI prophylaxis, respectively. The most frequently used GPA was histamine H2 antagonists. Multiple NSAID use, concomitant antiplatelets and anticoagulants, and prior GI ulcer history increased the likelihood of receiving appropriate GI prophylaxis. Advanced age (≥ 85 years), indications other than arthritis, and neurology specialists negatively affected appropriate GI prophylaxis use. Conclusion Approximately one in five chronic NSAID users, considered ultra-high risk, are prescribed appropriate GI prophylaxis in Korea. Advanced age, indications, and specialties of the prescriber all need to be considered when selecting target populations for interventions.

Traditional Chinese Medicine Li-Zhong-Tang accelerates the healing of indomethacin-induced gastric ulcers in rats by affecting TLR-2/MyD88 signaling pathway. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2020; 259:112979. [PMID: 32442585 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2020.112979] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/28/2020] [Revised: 04/25/2020] [Accepted: 05/11/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Li-Zhong-Tang (LZT) is a well-known Chinese herbal formulation first described in one of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) scriptures, Treatise on Febrile Diseases. LZT has been commonly prescribed for the treatment of various gastrointestinal diseases for over 1800 years, and has demonstrated pronounced therapeutic effects on patients with gastric ulcers. AIM OF THE STUDY The present study aimed to scientifically evaluate protective effects of LZT on indomethacin (IND)-induced gastric injury in rats and to elucidate whether LZT exerts its gastro-protective effects via enhancing mucosal immunity by regulating TLR-2/MyD88 signaling pathway. MATERIAL AND METHODS Gastric ulcers were induced in male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats with a single oral dose of 150 mg/kg IND. Ulcer index (UI) and curative index (CI) were evaluated. Histopathological examinations were performed and microscopic score (MS) was macroscopically calculated. The volume of gastric juice, free acidity, total acidity, and gastric pH was measured. The gastroprotective and inflammatory biomarkers including levels of nitric oxide (NO), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), and malondialdehyde (MDA) were determined. Expression levels of TLR-2 and MyD88 mRNA were assessed by qRT-PCR. The expression, distribution, and co-localization of TLR-2 and MyD88 protein were determined by Western blot, immunohistochemistry, and immunofluorescence, respectively. RESULTS Induction of gastric ulcers in rats resulted in very significantly increased UI and elevated volume and acidity of gastric juice, which were markedly attenuated by LZT treatment. Microscopic examinations of the IND-induced gastric ulcers revealed severe gastric hemorrhagic necrosis, submucosal edema, and destruction of epithelial cells, which were significantly attenuated in LZT-treated rats. Moreover, treatment with LZT remarkably increased gastric mucosal levels of PGE2 and NO, and lowered highly elevated levels of TNF-α and MDA in gastric ulcerative rats. Mechanistically, LZT inhibited mRNA and protein expression of TLR-2 and MyD88 and enhanced immune function in gastric mucosa. Immunohistochemical analyses and immunofluorescent detection further confirmed a markedly decreased co-localization of TLR-2 and MyD88 protein in the gastric mucosa of LZT-treated rats as compared to that of gastric ulcerative rats. CONCLUSIONS These findings indicate that LZT alleviates serious gastric mucosal ulcerations induced by IND. Protective effects of LZT on gastric ulcers are believed to be associated with the intensification of the anti-oxidative defense system, mitigation of proinflammatory cytokines, stimulation of the production of cytoprotective mediators, and improvement of the mucosal immunity through TLR-2/MyD88 signaling pathway.

Abstract
BACKGROUND High rates of inappropriate proton pump inhibitor (PPI) prescriptions have been reported in retrospective database analyses. Assessing the appropriateness of long-term PPIs in outpatients, with a proactive approach at drug optimisation may enhance treatment adequacy. AIMS To describe the characteristics of outpatients who are on long-term PPIs, to assess the magnitude of inappropriate PPI prescriptions, and to evaluate the rate of drug optimisation following specialist recommendations. METHODS Appropriateness of long-term (>8weeks) PPI prescription was prospectively assessed in 249 consecutive patients referred to a Gastroenterology outpatient clinic. We recorded reason for prescription, dose, modality, duration of therapy, and attempts at PPI optimisation. RESULTS PPIs were inappropriately prescribed in 96/249 patients (38.6%). Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (50/143, 35.0%) and prophylaxis of anti-platelet/non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (5/49, 10.2%) were the most common PPI indications and those with the lowest rate of inappropriateness, while the highest rates were observed for treatment of dyspepsia (10/12, 83.3%) and anti-coagulant therapy (21/21, 100%). PPI treatment was optimised in 112 patients (45.0%). CONCLUSIONS PPIs are inappropriately used in about 40% of outpatients, reflecting scant attention to guidelines. A proactive approach may improve therapeutic adequacy in approximately half of patients. Educational efforts to guide PPI prescription should be further pursued.

Introduction: Cardiovascular diseases are currently the leading cause of global disability and mortality. According to the centers for disease control and prevention, the average life expectancy of a person would be 10 years longer but for a high prevalence of cardiovascular diseases, and if antiplatelet drugs and special therapy were used.
Materials and methods: Antiplatelet activity of the novel benzimidazole derivatives containing a sterically hindered phenolic group in their structure has been investigated in vitro, using a model of ADP-induced platelet aggregation of rabbit’s plasma. The compounds exhibiting high antiplatelet activity and acetylsalicylic acid, as a reference drug, were examined for antioxidant properties in an ascorbate-dependent model of lipid peroxidation.
Results: It was established that the compounds with high antiplatelet activity demonstrated the pronounced antioxidant action. The compound RU-1144 (1-(3,5-ditretbutyl-4-hydroxyphenyl) -1-hydroxypropyl)-phenyl-pyrimidobenzimidazole hydrochloride), in in vitro experiments, had a pronounced antiplatelet activity, surpassing the reference drug acetylsalicylic acid by 21.8 times; in the study of antioxidant activity, the leader compound was inferior to the reference drug dibunol by 1.7 times. By inhibiting intravascular platelet aggregation in vivo, this compound exceeded acetylsalicylic acid by 1.5 times and was slightly inferior to clopidogrel by 1.4 times.
Discussion: Benzimidazole derivatives with a hindered phenolic substituent in their structure exhibited antiplatelet and antioxidant properties. It was established that the compounds with high antiplatelet activity demonstrated the pronounced antioxidant action.
Conclusion: The chemical class of benzimidazole derivatives with a hindered phenolic substituent in their structure is promising for the search for new antiaggregant and antioxidant drugs.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis is a multifactorial vascular disease that develops in the course of a lifetime. Numerous risk factors for atherosclerosis have been identified, mostly inflicting pro-inflammatory effects. Vessel injury, such as occurring during erosion or rupture of atherosclerotic lesions triggers blood coagulation, in attempt to maintain hemostasis (protect against bleeding). However, thrombo-inflammatory mechanisms may drive blood coagulation such that thrombosis develops, the key process underlying myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke (not due to embolization from the heart). In the blood coagulation system, platelets and coagulation proteins are both essential elements. Hyperreactivity of blood coagulation aggravates atherosclerosis in preclinical models. Pharmacologic inhibition of blood coagulation, either with platelet inhibitors, or better documented with anticoagulants, or both, limits the risk of thrombosis and may potentially reverse atherosclerosis burden, although the latter evidence is still based on animal experimentation.Patients at risk of atherothrombotic complications should receive a single antiplatelet agent (acetylsalicylic acid, ASA, or clopidogrel); those who survived an atherothrombotic event will be prescribed temporary dual antiplatelet therapy (ASA plus a P2Y12 inhibitor) in case of myocardial infarction (6-12 months), or stroke (<6 weeks), followed by a single antiplatelet agent indefinitely. High risk for thrombosis patients (such as those with peripheral artery disease) benefit from a combination of an anticoagulant and ASA. The price of gained efficacy is always increased risk of (major) bleeding; while tailoring therapy to individual needs may limit the risks to some extent, new generations of agents that target less critical elements of hemostasis and coagulation mechanisms are needed to maintain efficacy while reducing bleeding risks.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review summarizes the past year's literature, both clinical and basic science, regarding potential adverse effects of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). RECENT FINDINGS PPIs are amongst the most widely prescribed and over-prescribed medications worldwide. Although generally considered well tolerated, epidemiologic studies that mine large databases have reported a panoply of putative adverse effects associated with PPIs. It should be emphasized that the quality of the evidence underlying most of these associations is very low and the studies, by design, cannot ascribe cause and effect. These associations continue to be sensationalized in the media and misinterpreted by providers and patients. The unintended consequences are that patients who require PPIs, such as those taking dual antiplatelet agents, are not being prescribed or taking these necessary medications. In addition, physicians are spending an inordinate amount of additional time placing these findings into proper perspective for their patients and reassuring them upon initiating PPI treatment as well as at every follow-up visit. SUMMARY Most of the recent publicized putative serious adverse effects attributed to PPIs rely on observational data and have not been confirmed in prospective randomized trials. Nevertheless, PPIs should be prescribed for valid indications and when prescribed long-term, they should be used at the lowest effective dose and the need for their use periodically reassessed.

Abstract
Introduction:Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) include aspirin, naproxen, diclofenac, and ibuprofen, as well as selective cyclooxygenase 2 inhibitors such as celecoxib. Their use is common, as well as their side effects which cause 100 000 hospitalizations and 17 000 deaths annually. Recently, the US Food and Drug Administration strengthened its warning about the risks of cardiovascular disease (CVD) attributed to nonaspirin NSAIDs.Methods:When the sample size is large, randomization provides control of confounding not possible to achieve with any observational study. Further, observational studies and, especially, claims data have inherent confounding by indication larger than the small to moderate effects being sought.Results:While trials are necessary, they must be of sufficient size and duration and achieve high compliance and follow-up. Until then, clinicians should remain uncertain about benefits and risks of these drugs. Conclusions: Since the totality of evidence remains incomplete, health-care providers should consider all these aforementioned benefits and risks, both CVD and beyond, in deciding whether and, if so, which, NSAID to prescribe. The factors in the decision of whether and, if so, which NSAID to prescribe for relief of pain from inflammatory arthritis should not be limited to risks of CVD or gastrointestinal side effects but should also include potential benefits including improvements in overall quality of life resulting from decreases in pain or impairment from musculoskeletal pain syndromes. The judicious individual clinical decision-making about the prescription of NSAIDs to relieve pain based on all these considerations has the potential to do much more good than harm.

Abstract
Aspirin is the most commonly prescribed antiplatelet agent worldwide, but evidence supporting its use varies by age and disease process. Despite its frequent use in childhood acute ischemic stroke prevention and management, major knowledge gaps exist about optimal pediatric aspirin use, particularly in this setting, where high-quality clinical trials are urgently needed. This review focuses upon the evidence for aspirin use in childhood acute ischemic stroke, includes a summary of aspirin pharmacology to highlight misconceptions and common clinical situations which may limit its efficacy, and discusses the techniques and potential role of laboratory monitoring of aspirin efficacy in children.

J Clin Pharm Ther 2019; 44:209-215. [PMID: 30332507 DOI: 10.1111/jcpt.12769] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/24/2018] [Revised: 08/23/2018] [Accepted: 09/13/2018] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
WHAT IS KNOWN AND OBJECTIVE Mounting evidence suggests that long-term use of gastric-acid suppressants (GASs) may be associated with adverse effects. Whether GAS use increases the risk of enteric peritonitis in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD) is not known. The aim of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the association between GAS use and enteric peritonitis in PD patients. METHODS We searched PubMed, Embase and Cochrane Library databases from inception to 23 January 2018 to identify eligible studies. The primary outcome was an association between GAS use and enteric peritonitis in PD patients. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Six studies involving 829 people were included in this meta-analysis. Pooled data showed that GAS use in PD patients was associated with an increased risk of enteric peritonitis (odds ratio [OR] = 1.27; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.02-1.57, I2 = 48%). Subgroup analyses based on GAS type revealed that histamine-2 receptor antagonists (H2 RAs) might increase the risk of enteric peritonitis in PD patients (OR = 1.40; 95% CI: 1.01-1.93; I2 = 8%), but proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) might not (1.13; 0.72-1.77; 6; 34%). WHAT IS NEW AND CONCLUSION Gastric-acid suppressants use might be a risk factor for enteric peritonitis in PD patients. In particular, H2 RAs increased the risk of enteric peritonitis, but PPIs did not. Therefore, to prevent enteric peritonitis, H2 RAs should probably be prescribed with caution for PD patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the correlation of tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) polymorphisms with upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) induced by enteric-coated aspirin in coronary heart disease (CHD) patients. METHODS In total, 154 CHD patients taking enteric-coated aspirin were enrolled in this study. Patients were divided into the UGIB group (n = 57) and non-UGIB group (n = 97) based on the presence or absence of signs of UGIB, respectively. TNF-α polymorphism (-857C > T, -863C > A, and -1031T > C) genotyping was performed using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification with sequence-specific primers (PCR-SSP). RESULTS Patients who had the CC genotype and C allele of -1031T > C exhibited a significantly increase risk of UGIB after receiving enteric-coated aspirin (CC vs. TT: odds (OR) (95% confidence interval (CI)): 7.568 (1.527-37.49), P = 0.005; C vs. T: OR (95% CI): 1.852 (1.036-3.312), P = 0.036). Patients who had CA and CA + AA genotypes and the A allele of -863C > A also exhibited an increased risk of aspirin-induced UGIB (CA vs. CC: OR (95% CI): 2.415 (1.143-5.101), P = 0.019: CA + AA vs. CC: OR (95% CI): 2.218 (1.123-4.381), P = 0.021; A vs. C: OR (95% CI): 1.788 (1.039-3.078), P = 0.035). However, the TNF-α -857 C > T polymorphism was unrelated to the induction of UGIB by enteric-coated aspirin in CHD patients (P > 0.05). In addition, the haplotypes of CCC (-1031T > C, -863C > A, and -857C > T) markedly reduced the risk of aspirin-induced UGIB in CHD patients. CONCLUSION TNF-α -863A and -1031C increased the risk of UGIB induction by enteric-coated aspirin in CHD patients, whereas TNF-α -857C > T was not correlated with the UGIB risk.
