Objective To assess the effect of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for the prevention of colorectal neoplasia. Methods A systematic review of all relevant randomized controlled trials and quasi-randomized controlled trials of NSAIDs for prevention of colorectal neoplasms was performed by using The Cochrane Collaboration recommended methods. Results Nine trials were included and assessed. There was sufficient evidence for aspirin to prevent the development of colorectal adenomas compared with placebo in three trials of high quality and large sample size with relative risk (RR) 0.81, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.72 to 0.91 and P=0.000 5 . No adequate evidence supported aspirin in the prevention of development of colorectal cancer (RR 0.97, 95% CI 0.79 to 1.20, P= 0.79). However, there was no evidence to support sulindac and celecoxib curing or preventing colorectal adenomas or familial adenomatous polyposis (RR 0.71, 95% CI 0.49 to 1.03, P= 0.07 and RR 0.90, 95% CI 0.76 to 1.07, P=0.23). No evidence on the dose of NSAIDs was used for prevention of colorectal adenomas at present. No significant difference was seen in the number of adverse events between patients taking NSAIDs and those taking placebo (P=0.9). Conclusions Aspirin may prevent the development of colorectal adenomas and may avoid polypectomy for 1 in every 10 to 18 persons but we don’t know whether aspirin can be substituted for endoscopically removed colorectal polyps. However, the true clinical benefit for prevention of colorectal neoplasia of NSAIDs should be considered.
ObjectivesTo systematically review the safety and efficacy of aspirin in primary prevention of cardiovascular diseases.MethodsPubMed, EMbase, Web of Science, The Cochrane Library, CBM, WanFang Data, CNKI and VIP databases were electronically searched to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of aspirin for primary prevention of cardiovascular diseases from inception to November 2018. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of included studies, and then, meta-analysis was performed by RevMan 5.3 software.ResultsA total of 13 RCTs involving 164 225 participants were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that: aspirin reduced the risk of myocardial infarction (RR=0.85, 95%CI 0.75 to 0.97, P=0.01), ischemic stroke (RR=0.86, 95%CI 0.79 to 0.95, P=0.002) and risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (RR=0.90, 95%CI 0.86 to 0.94, P<0.000 1). However, all-cause mortality (RR=0.97, 95%CI 0.93 to 1.02, P=0.22) and cardiovascular mortality (RR=0.93, 95%CI 0.85 to 1.02, P=0.11) were not reduced. Additionally, it increased risk of hemorrhagic stroke (RR=1.29, 95%CI 1.02 to 1.64, P=0.03), major bleeding (RR=1.43, 95%CI 1.31 to 1.56, P<0.000 01) and gastrointestinal bleeding (RR=1.59, 95%CI 1.33 to 1.90, P<0.000 01).ConclusionCurrent evidence shows that aspirin can reduce the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events and myocardial infarction during primary prevention of cardiovascular disease, while increase the risk of bleeding, especially gastrointestinal bleeding. Therefore, its potential benefits may be offset. Due to limited quality and quantity of the included studies, more high-quality studies are required to verify the above conclusion.

Methods Divide the outpatient patients into experimental group (89 patients) and control group (99 patients). Use 0.1 g aspirin for two groups with oral administration once per day. The experimental group is used with 0.9 g allium macrostemon with oral administration three times per day. Observe the generation rate and adverse reaction of vascular events in two groups of patients. Results The Total generation rate of vascular events in the experimental group is 6.7% and the control group is 19.2%,the differences were statistically significant (Plt;0.05); the cerebral infarction generation rate in the experimental group is 1.1% and in the control group is 9.1%,the differences were statistically significant (Plt;0.05). There is no significant difference (Pgt;0.05) in TIA, angina pectoris, myocardial infarction generation rate in two groups. There is no significant difference (Pgt;005) in adverse reaction generation rate of subcutaneous hemorrhage, hematuria, melena, nausea, bellyache. Conclusion Taking aspirin with llium macrostemon can significantly decrease total cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events generation rate and cerebral infarction generation rate in high risk patients, improve the curative effect and the adverse reaction has not been significantly increased.
Objective To evaluate clinical efficacy of mFOLFOX6 combined with aspirin in treatment of advanced gastric cancer following perioperative period of laparoscopic distal subtotal gastrectomy. Methods One hundred and seven patients with advanced gastric cancer were assigned to observation group (57 cases) and control group (50 cases). The patients in the observation group received the mFOLFOX6 chemotherapy and regular intake of aspirin (100 mg/d) and the control group received the mFOLFOX6 chemotherapy alone. The recurrence or metastasis rate, rate of disease progress, toxicity, median survival time, and 3-year survival rate were compared between the observation group and the control group. Results ① There were no significant differences in the gender, age, pathological type, and so on between the observation group and the control group (P>0.05). ② The rates of toxicity such as the white blood cell reduction, granulocyte reduction, thrombocytopenia had no significant differences in these two groups (P>0.05). ③ The follow-up time was 4–45 months with an average 3.5 years, the rate of disease progress was lower (P=0.032), the median survival time was longer (P=0.043), the cumulative 3-year overall survival (P=0.015) and the cumulative 3-year disease-free survival (P=0.037) were better in the observation group as compared with the control group. Conclusion Preliminary results in this study show that mFOLFOX6 regimen combined with low-dose aspirin could significantly improve efficacy of advanced gastric cancer following perioperative period of laparoscopic distal subtotal gastrectomy, reduce rate of disease progress, and improve survival rate without increasing side effects.
Objective To improve the knowledge of epidemiology, diagnosis and treatment of aspirin induced asthma ( AIA) in China. Methods Thirty-six cases with AIA who were reported in 30 papers in recent 10 years were analyzed retrospectively. Results The drugs which induced AIA in China mainly included acetylsalicylic acid ( aspirin) , ibuprofen ( Fenbid, ibuprofen) , while acetaminophen ( paracetamol,Bufferin, Tylenol ) , phenylpropanoid thiazide ( Piroxicam) , methoxy-naphthalene C acid ( naproxen) ,diclofenac in rare cases. 28. 6% ( 8 /28) of AIA patients were complicated with nasal disease . AIA could occur at all ages, especially for those over 40 years ( 72. 2% , 26 /36) . No significant difference of prevalencein male and female. The onset time of AIA was less than 60min in 71. 4% and gt;120min in 38. 6% . Most patients took the medications by oral ( 83. 3% ,30/36) , but the AIA onset time was not different by different administration route. Conclusions The incidence of AIA increases in recent years because of widely use of NSAIDs. However, no awareness of NSAIDs induced asthma is common in patients and physicians. For asthma patients it must be caution to take antipyretic analgesic anti-inflammatory drugs. If necessary,methoxy-naphthalene C acid ( naproxen) and diclofenac could be better choice.
Objective To systematically assess the clinical efficacy and safety of cilostazol for preventing ischemic stroke recurrence. Methods Such databases as PubMed, The Cochrane Library, EMbase, CNKI, CBM, and VIP were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on the use of cilostazol to prevent ischemic stroke recurrence (up to November, 2010). Two researchers selected studies and extracted data independently using a designed extraction form. The quality of included trials was evaluated and RevMan 5.0 software was used for meta-analyses. Results Four RCTs involving 3 916 patients were included. The results of meta-analyses showed that there were significant differences between cilostazol and aspirin in terms of hemorrhagic stroke occurrence (RR=0.39, 95%CI 0.24 to 0.61, Plt;0.000 1), headache occurrence (RR=1.99, 95%CI 1.16 to 3.43, P=0.01) and dizziness occurrence (RR=1.43, 95%CI 1.13 to 1.79, P=0.002). Whereas, no significant difference was found between the two groups in terms of ischemic stroke recurrence (RR=0.80, 95%CI 0.61 to 1.04, P=0.10) and transient ischemic attack occurrence (RR=0.93, 95%CI 0.45 to 1.92, P=0.85). Conclusion The current evidence indicates that cilostazol is as effective as aspirin in preventing ischemic stroke recurrence, but with less incidence of hemorrhagic stroke.
ObjectiveTo compare early postoperative outcomes of Chinese patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB) with or without preoperative discontinuation of aspirin. MethodsClinical data of 354 patients who underwent elective OPCAB in Department of Cardiac Surgery, People's Hospital of Peking University from 2011 to 2012 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 132 patients during year 2011 who discontinued aspirin more than 5 days before OPCAB and were defined as a discontinuation group, including 93 males and 39 females with their age of 36-83 (61.70±8.74) years. There were 222 patients during year 2012 who continued aspirin treatment before OPCAB and were defined as an aspirin group, including 162 males and 60 females with their age of 37-82 (63.26±8.94) years. Postoperative chest drainage, incidence of reexploration for bleeding, in-hospital morbidity and mortality were compared between the 2 groups. Serum cardiac troponin I (cTnI) levels during 4-6 hours, 12-18 hours and 24-48 hours after OPCAB were also compared. ResultsPreoperative clinical characters were not statistically different between the 2 groups (P>0.05). Average number of grafts in the discontinuation group was significantly smaller than that in the aspirin group (3.00±0.89 vs. 3.43±0.93, P=0.001). There was no significant difference in postoperative chest drainage (1 063.75±511.50 ml vs. 1 131.35±460.13 ml, P=0.201), incidence of reexploration for bleeding(0 case vs. 1 case, P=1.000), perioperative myocardial infarction(2 cases vs. 1 case, P=0.647), postoperative acute renal failure(4 cases vs. 7 cases, P=1.000), stroke(1 case vs. 4 cases, P=0.726), mechanical ventilation time(41.46±85.50 hours vs. 52.07±143.59 hours, P=0.441), length of ICU stay(81.46±116.90 hours vs. 79.07±136.43 hours, P=0.867), or in-hospital mortality(0.8% vs. 0.9%, P=1.000)between the 2 groups. Serum cTnI levels during 4-6 hours after OPCAB were not statistically different between the 2 groups (P=0.506). Serum cTnI levels during 12-18 hours and 24-48 hours after OPCAB were statistically different between the 2 groups (P=0.002 and P=0.000). The percentages of patients with cTnI level higher than 4.0 ng/ml during 12-18 hours and 24-48 hours after OPCAB in the aspirin group were significantly lower than those in the discontinuation group (5.4% vs. 16.7%, P=0.001;5.9% vs. 17.4%, P=0.000). ConclusionOPCAB without preoperative discontinuation of aspirin does not increase the risk of postoperative bleeding, in-hospital morbidity or mortality, but can decrease postoperative myocardial injury of Chinese patients undergoing OPCAB.
ObjectiveTo understand the situation of off-label use of aspirin among outpatients in Sun Yatsen Memorial Hospital, so as to provide baseline data for developing off-label drug use policy. MethodsA stratified random sampling method was used to collected prescription data of aspirin among outpatients in 2013. The incidence rates between different types of off-label use of aspirin were determined by chi-square test, and the influence factors of off-label drug use were analyzed by logistic regression model. ResultsA total of 5 023 prescriptions with aspirin were collected and analyzed, with incidence rate of off-label use up to 17.7%. The major category of off-label use was no indication (94.38%). The top 3 no indications were recurrent abortion, infertility and systemic lupus erythematosus. Drug specification, gender, age and prescribed department were the risk factors of off-label use. ConclusionAspirin off-label use is common among outpatients in Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital in 2013, especially in obstetrics and gynecology department and assisted reproductive center. The results suggest that more clinical studies about aspirin for reproduction are needed to provide more evidence of drug use, so as to ensure the safety of drug use in special populations and avoid potential medical risk.
ObjectiveTo determine the prevalence of aspirin (ASA) resistance in pediatric patients with congenital heart disease and evaluate whether postoperative thrombosis is associated with aspirin resistance.MethodsA total of 52 patients undergoing high-risk congenital cardiac surgery were recruited in a prospective cohort study at Fuwai Hospital from August 2016 to December 2017. There were 29 males and 23 females with a median age of 8 months (6 d to 13 years). The response to aspirin was determined using the thromboelastography with platelet mapping (TEG-PM) system several days after administration. According to the arachidonic acid (AA) inhibition< 50% or not, they were divided into an ASA resistance group (n=14) and an ASA sensitivity group (n=38). Risk factors of ASA resistance were identified using univariate and multivariate analysis. Patients were monitored prospectively for three months for the development of a thrombosis event. ResultsOf 52 children analyzed, 14 (26.9%) were ASA resistance. The prevalence of thrombosis after ASA antiplatelet therapy was 5.9%. Dose escalation based on aspirin testing was performed in 3 of 14 patients, and the ASA sensitivity was observed in 1 patient. No correlation was found between ASA resistance and postoperative thrombosis (r=0.04, P=0.80).ConclusionPostoperative thrombosis is not associated with aspirin resistance in these patients. Our findings also suggest that resistance may be due to lack of aspirin doses, monitoring of aspirin therapy and consideration of dose adjustment or alternative agents for unresponsive patients.
Objective To compare the efficacy and safety of aspirin and rivaroxaban in the prevention of venous thromboembolism (VTE) after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Methods Eight databases were searched, including Cochrane Library, Embase, Web of Science, PubMed, SinoMed, Wanfang, Chongqing VIP, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure. The search period was from the establishment of databases to June 2023. All randomized controlled trials of aspirin and rivaroxaban for the prevention of VTE after TKA were collected, and meta-analysis was conducted using RevMan 5.3 software. Results A total of 7 articles were included, with a publication period from 2014 to 2022, including a total of 714 patients, including 356 in the aspirin group and 358 in the rivaroxaban group. The meta-analysis results showed that the incidence of deep venous thrombosis in the lower limbs of the aspirin group was higher than that of the rivasarb group [relative risk (RR)=1.53, 95% confidence interval (CI) (1.09, 2.16), P=0.01], and the incidence of bleeding complications was lower than that of the rivaroxaban group [RR=0.66, 95%CI (0.52, 0.82), P=0.0003]. There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of wound complications between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion The efficacy of rivaroxaban in preventing VTE after TKA is better than that of aspirin, but there is an increased risk of bleeding complications.
