JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2024; 333:118457. [PMID: 38866117 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2024.118457] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/17/2024] [Revised: 05/21/2024] [Accepted: 06/10/2024] [Indexed: 06/14/2024]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Lian Qiao (LQ), the dried fruit of Forsythia suspensa (Thunb.) Vahl, is a well-documented traditional Chinese medicine known for its detoxifying and heat-clearing properties. Clinically, compounds containing LQ are widely used to treat thrombotic diseases, indicating that it may have antithrombotic effects. However, its exact mechanism of action remains unknown. AIM OF THE STUDY This study aimed to verify the antithrombotic effect of LQ and further explore the material basis and target mechanism of its antithrombotic effect using various biological methods. MATERIALS AND METHODS An epinephrine-collagen-thrombin-induced mouse model of acute pulmonary embolism (APE) was established to study the effects of LQ on thrombus development. A UPLC/Q/TOF-MS screening and identification system based on the inhibition of platelet aggregation and Ca2+ antagonism was established to determine the pharmacodynamic components of LQ that inhibit platelet activation. The inhibitory effect of active ingredients on platelet activation, and the determination of the target of their inhibitory effect on platelet activation have been studied using chemical proteomics. Furthermore, based on the structure and function of the target protein, a multidisciplinary approach was adopted to analyze the molecular mechanism of active ingredient binding to target proteins and to evaluate the effects of active ingredients on the downstream signaling pathways of target proteins. RESULTS LQ showed significant anticoagulant effects in APE model mice. Phillyrin and phillygenin were the antiplatelet-activating components of LQ. PLCβ3 was identified as a target for inhibiting platelet activation by phillyrin and its metabolites. The mechanism underlying the effect involves phillyrin and its metabolites inhibiting PLCβ3 activity by blocking the binding of PLCβ3 to Gαq through non-covalently targeting the ASN260 of PLCβ3, thus inhibiting the downstream Gαq-PLCβ3-Ca2+ signaling pathway, effectively hindering platelet activation and therefore playing an anticoagulant role. CONCLUSION This study not only proposes and validates the antithrombotic effect of LQ for the first time but also finds that phillyrin and phillygenin are the main pharmacological substances through which LQ exerts antithrombotic activity and reveals a novel mechanism by which they exert antiplatelet activity by directly targeting and inhibiting PLCβ3 activity. These findings significantly contribute to our understanding of the therapeutic potential of phillyrin and provide important clues for the discovery and development of new antiplatelet drugs.

Comparative incidence and risk factors for gastrointestinal bleeding following percutaneous coronary intervention for coronary artery disease: Insights from the Keio Cardiovascular Registry in Japan. Thromb Res 2024; 243:109150. [PMID: 39299163 DOI: 10.1016/j.thromres.2024.109150] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/15/2024] [Revised: 09/10/2024] [Accepted: 09/11/2024] [Indexed: 09/22/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND In patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), antiplatelet medication usage is crucial for preventing thrombotic events. However, it requires careful monitoring, especially because of the risk of life-threatening bleeding complications. In hemorrhagic complications, assessment of patient background and risk of gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB) remain limited for GIB that develops during long-term observation after hospital discharge. This study aimed to examine the incidence of GIB and patient characteristics in CAD post-PCI. METHODS All CAD patients undergoing PCI for urgent, emergent, or elective indications were enrolled in the Keio Interhospital Cardiovascular Studies (JCD-KiCS)-PCI registry (January 2009 and December 2017) and followed up to 2 years after PCI discharge. From the JCD-KiCS PCI registry, 8864 patients (median [interquartile range [IQR]] age: non-GIB: 69.0 y [16 y], upper GIB (UGI): 72.0 y [15.5 y], lower GIB (LGI): 73.0 y [IQR: 13 y]) were categorized based on the occurrence of hospitalization-requiring GIB. Patient characteristics and detailed information regarding these GIB events, including the location (upper vs lower GI) and bleeding severity, were analyzed. RESULTS Overall, 36 patients experienced UGI, while 85 patients experienced LGI. The rates of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) and triple therapy were significantly different among the non-GIB (n = 8734), UGI (n = 36) and LGI (n = 85) groups (DAPT [aspirin + P2Y12 (clopidogrel/prasugrel/ticlopidine)]: 64 [76.2 %] in the LGI group vs 24 [68.6 %] in the UGI group vs 7330 [84.6 %] in the non-GIB group; triple therapy [aspirin + P2Y12 (clopidogrel/prasugrel/ticlopidine)] + oral anticoagulant (OAC) (warfarin/direct oral anticoagulant [DOAC]): 17 [20.2 %] in the LGI group vs 8 [22.9 %] in the UGI group vs 836 [9.6 %] in the non-GIB group; p < 0.001). In the LGI and UGI groups, aspirin and warfarin were used in 2 (2.4 %) and 2 (5.7 %) patients, respectively, but not in combination with DOAC. The 2-year post-PCI hospitalization incidence for GIB was 1.4 % (LGI, 1.0 %; UGI, 0.4 %). The most common causes were colonic diverticular hemorrhage (43.5 %) for LGI and duodenal ulcer (21.9 %) for UGI. No significant differences were found in the cumulative 2-year post-PCI risks between the LGI and UGI groups (log-rank p = 0.97). Most GIB events were Bleeding Academic Research Consortium 2-equivalent (hemoglobin decrease <3 g/dL). Notably, the use of OACs at PCI discharge, bleeding complications within 72 h, and preprocedural anemia were significantly correlated with an increased GIB risk. CONCLUSIONS The real-world incidence of LGI is two times higher than that of UGI in CAD patients undergoing PCI, and most events are mild. OAC use at PCI discharge is the strongest potential risk factor for GIB development.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The frequency and risk factors for gastrointestinal bleed (GIB) in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) have not been extensively researched. OBJECTIVE We aim to assess the frequency of GIB in this subset of patients and identify potential risk factors for bleeding. This study will evaluate the frequency of commonly used antiplatelet and anticoagulation agents in the HFrEF population, as well as look at some of the endoscopic features of the GIB. METHODS A retrospective cohort analysis of 670 patients admitted between November 2021 to August 2023 to a single urban, tertiary teaching institution with acute HFrEF ICD-10 codes. Upper or lower GIB (hematemesis, coffee ground emesis, melena or hematochezia during admission) was identified on a manual chart review. Patients with GIB were defined as our cases. No GIB was defined as our controls. Sub analysis included comparing the use of anticoagulant and antiplatelet between the cohort. Independent t test assessed statistical differences in the case and control groups RESULTS: Out of the 670 patients, 134 (20%) were identified with GIB. The cases were older than the controls (median age 77 vs. 70 years) (p = 0.001), had a lower hemoglobin (9 g/dL vs. 12 g/dL) (p =<0.05), and had higher BNP levels (7,938 pg/ml vs. 6472 pg/ml) (IQR: 3,239, 23,701) (p =<0.01). Among the anticoagulant users, 64% of cases were on an anticoagulant compared to 42% of the controls (p<0.05). Among the antiplatelet users, 68% of the controls were on one or more antiplatelet agents, compared to 52% in the controls (p = 0.01). When combining AC and AP treatment, there was no statistical difference between cases and controls. Ninety-three (69%) patients from cases had cross-sectional imaging with only 23 (25%) showing abnormal findings which included diverticulosis, colitis, and GI masses. When comparing upper endoscopy findings, the presence of esophageal diseases (esophagitis and esophageal varices) and gastric/duodenal diseases (gastritis, gastric ulcer, duodenal ulcer and AVM) were significantly higher in cases compared to controls (p < 0.05). In addition to the colonoscopy findings, polyps and diverticulosis were more prevalent in the cases compared to the controls (p = 0.01). CONCLUSION Heart failure patients are at risk of developing GIB. Age and high BNP on admission are risk factors for GIB, the higher the BNP levels the higher risk of GIB. Anticoagulant and antiplatelet use are associated with a higher risk of bleeding. However, the addition of dual antiplatelet therapy or concurrent antiplatelet and anticoagulation does not increase the risk of GIB. Some of the most common upper endoscopy findings include esophagitis/gastritis and esophageal/gastric ulcer. In terms of colonoscopy, findings include colonic mass, diverticulosis and hemorrhoids.

Abstract
Importance Purinergic receptor P2Y12 (P2Y12) inhibitor monotherapy after a certain period of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) may be an attractive option of maintenance antiplatelet treatment for patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) who are at both high bleeding and ischemic risk (birisk). Objective To determine if extended P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy with clopidogrel is superior to ongoing DAPT with aspirin and clopidogrel after 9 to 12 months of DAPT after PCI in birisk patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS). Design, Setting, and Participants This was a multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trial including birisk patients with ACS who had completed 9 to 12 months of DAPT after drug-eluting stent implantation and were free from adverse events for at least 6 months at 101 China centers between February 2018 and December 2020. Study data were analyzed from April 2023 to May 2023. Interventions Patients were randomized either to clopidogrel plus placebo or clopidogrel plus aspirin for an additional 9 months. Main Outcomes and Measures The primary end point was Bleeding Academic Research Consortium (BARC) types 2, 3, or 5 bleeding 9 months after randomization. The key secondary end point was major adverse cardiac and cerebral events (MACCE; the composite of all-cause death, myocardial infarction, stroke or clinically driven revascularization). The primary end point was tested for superiority, and the MACCE end point was tested for sequential noninferiority and superiority. Results A total of 7758 patients (mean [SD] age, 64.8 [9.0] years; 4575 male [59.0%]) were included in this study. The primary end point of BARC types 2, 3, or 5 bleeding occurred in 95 of 3873 patients (2.5%) assigned to clopidogrel plus placebo and 127 of 3885 patients (3.3%) assigned to clopidogrel plus aspirin (hazard ratio [HR], 0.75; 95% CI, 0.57-0.97; difference, -0.8%; 95% CI, -1.6% to -0.1%; P = .03). The incidence of MACCE was 2.6% (101 of 3873 patients) in the clopidogrel plus placebo group and 3.5% (136 of 3885 patients) in the clopidogrel plus aspirin group (HR, 0.74; 95% CI, 0.57-0.96; difference, -0.9%; 95% CI, -1.7% to -0.1%; P < .001 for noninferiority; P = .02 for superiority). Conclusions and Relevance Among birisk patients with ACS who completed 9 to 12 months of DAPT after drug-eluting stent implantation and were free from adverse events for at least 6 months before randomization, an extended 9-month clopidogrel monotherapy regimen was superior to continuing DAPT with clopidogrel in reducing clinically relevant bleeding without increasing ischemic events.

Abstract
Investigate the effect of Alteplase and Aspirin on the functional outcomes of patients with acute ischemic stroke with mild non-disabling neurological deficit. In this single-center, randomized controlled study, we selected 60 patients with acute ischemic stroke with mild non-disabling neurological deficit admitted to our hospital from January 2021 to January 2022, and randomly divided them into the study group (n = 30) and the control group (n = 30), the control group was given the Aspirin treatment, the study group was given the Alteplase treatment, and the changes in neurological recovery, daily living ability, exercise ability, balance ability, cognitive function, and short-term prognosis outcomes were observed in these 2 groups. The factors influencing the short-term outcome of Alteplase therapy in patients with acute ischemic stroke were analyzed. The National Institutes of Health Neurological Deficit Score (NIHSS) scores at T1 and T2 of the study group were lower than those in the control group, but the scores of Barthel indicators (BI), Fugl-Meyer Motor Assessment Scale (FMA), Berg Balance Scale (BBS) and Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale (MoCA) of the study group were higher than those in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P < .05). The short-term prognostic outcomes of these 2 groups were not significantly different (P > .05). The effect of the use of Alteplase or Aspirin on short-term functional outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke and mild non-disabling neurological deficit is not much different.

Abstract
Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with aspirin and a platelet P2Y12 receptor inhibitor is the standard antithrombotic treatment after percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI). Several trials have challenged guideline-recommended DAPT after PCI by testing the relative clinical effect of an aspirin-free antiplatelet approach-consisting of P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy after a short course (mostly 1-3 months) of DAPT-among patients undergoing PCI without a concomitant indication for oral anticoagulation (OAC). Overall, these studies have shown P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy after short DAPT to be associated with a significant reduction in the risk of bleeding without an increase in thrombotic or ischaemic events compared with continued DAPT. Moreover, the effects of the P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy without prior DAPT or following a very short course of DAPT after PCI are being investigated in emerging studies, of which one has recently reported unfavourable efficacy results associated with the aspirin-free approach compared with conventional DAPT. Finally, P2Y12 inhibitor alone has been compared with aspirin alone as chronic therapy after DAPT discontinuation, thus challenging the historical role of aspirin as a standard of care for secondary prevention following PCI. A thorough understanding of study designs, populations, treatments, results, and limitations of trials testing P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy vs. DAPT or vs. aspirin is required to consider adopting this treatment in clinical practice. This review addresses the use of aspirin-free antiplatelet strategies among patients undergoing PCI without a concomitant indication for OAC, providing an overview of clinical evidence, guideline indications, practical implications, ongoing issues, and future perspectives.

Abstract
Aspirin-related gastrointestinal damage is of growing concern. Aspirin use modulates the gut microbiota and associated metabolites, such as bile acids (BAs), but how this impacts intestinal homeostasis remains unclear. Herein, using clinical cohorts and aspirin-treated mice, we identified an intestinal microbe, Parabacteroides goldsteinii, whose growth is suppressed by aspirin. Mice supplemented with P. goldsteinii or its BA metabolite, 7-keto-lithocholic acid (7-keto-LCA), showed reduced aspirin-mediated damage of the intestinal niche and gut barrier, effects that were lost with a P. goldsteinii hdhA mutant unable to generate 7-keto-LCA. Specifically, 7-keto-LCA promotes repair of the intestinal epithelium by suppressing signaling by the intestinal BA receptor, farnesoid X receptor (FXR). 7-Keto-LCA was confirmed to be an FXR antagonist that facilitates Wnt signaling and thus self-renewal of intestinal stem cells. These results reveal the impact of oral aspirin on the gut microbiota and intestinal BA metabolism that in turn modulates gastrointestinal homeostasis.

Abstract
PURPOSE Acid suppressive therapy using histamine H2 receptor antagonists (H2RAs) and proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) can be utilized for the prevention of gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB) among patients with cardiovascular disease receiving dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT). However, emerging data suggests underlying associations between PPI or H2RA use and cardiovascular disease incidence, progression, and mortality. This review explores the history of acid suppressive therapies and their use in cardiovascular disease patients and the growing evidence in support of H2RA use. RECENT FINDINGS PPIs were originally championed as better than H2RAs for preventing GIB events in cardiovascular disease patients on DAPT therapy, but there is evidence to suggest that drug-drug interactions between clopidogrel and PPIs may translate to worse cardiovascular outcomes. Studies demonstrating PPI superiority in the setting of DAPT were also limited due to small sample sizes and high levels of bias. Consequently, there is renewed interest in H2RAs for patients on DAPT with some data demonstrating similar or improved clinical outcomes over PPI therapy. Additionally, studies have discovered a possible role for H2RAs in the management of heart failure (HF) incidence, symptoms, and mortality. Studies comparing H2RAs and PPIs in patients on DAPT have demonstrated mixed results for cardiovascular and GIB outcomes, with several studies being underpowered and limited by biases. Recent clinical and pre-clinical studies now support the noninferiority of H2RAs for major outcomes and even utility in HF. These findings suggest that H2RAs may warrant reconsideration as an acid suppressive therapy over PPIs for patients on DAPT or with HF.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Limited data are available regarding the decision-making process for preventing gastrointestinal bleeding in patients at high risk of bleeding scheduled for percutaneous coronary intervention (HBPCI), especially due to the lack of a simple, accurate and sensitive methods for gastrointestinal injury detection. This randomised trial aims to assess the effects of early magnetically controlled capsule endoscopy (MCE) in patients with HBPCI for the prevention of gastrointestinal bleeding compared with conventional management. METHODS AND ANALYSIS The Magnetic-Assisted Capsule Endoscopy Gastrointestinal bleeding Protection Strategy (MACE-GPS) is a multicentre, open-label, randomised controlled trial. Patients admitted for HBPCI will be randomised and placed into two study groups. In the early MCE group, 1228 patients will undergo MCE following admission to the hospital. If necessary, these patients may further undergo a multidisciplinary approach to determine treatment based on the MCE findings. A total of 1228 patients in the control group will undergo conventional treatment based on the attending cardiologist's interpretation of their clinical presentations. The primary end point is the incidence of gastrointestinal bleeding within 12 months of enrolment. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION The MACE-GPS trial has been approved by the ethics committees of all participating sites. Participant recruitment began in April 2023 and will be completed in April 2025, and the 1-year follow-up will be completed in April 2026. The study results will be disseminated through conference presentations and peer-reviewed publications. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER ChiCTR2300070025.

The importance of intensive follow-up and achieving optimal chronic antithrombotic treatment in hospitalized medical patients with anemia: A prospective cohort study. Hellenic J Cardiol 2024:S1109-9666(23)00232-4. [PMID: 38176585 DOI: 10.1016/j.hjc.2023.12.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/02/2023] [Revised: 12/11/2023] [Accepted: 12/30/2023] [Indexed: 01/06/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Anemia is a global health concern, particularly among the elderly on chronic antithrombotic treatment. Close monitoring of hemoglobin (Hb) levels and achievement of an optimized treatment significantly enhance patients' quality of life. This study aimed to examine the impact of antithrombotic treatment on Hb levels and readmissions in hospitalized patients with anemia. METHODS This is a prospective cohort study of patients admitted to the Department of Internal Medicine of the University Hospital of Heraklion, Greece, from November 2021 to October 2022 with the diagnosis of anemia while receiving antithrombotic treatment. Data regarding demographics, past medical history, and laboratory and endoscopy findings were recorded. For those receiving inappropriate therapy according to international guidelines, antithrombotic treatment was optimized. Subsequent follow-ups occurred at one and six months post-discharge. Six- and twelve-month anemia-caused readmissions, as well as annual mortality, were evaluated. RESULTS In total, 104 patients were assessed. Among them, 34.6% were on antiplatelets, 56.7% were on anticoagulants, and 8.7% were on combination treatment. The mean age was 80 ± 8.2 years, and 54.8% were males. On admission, mean Hb levels were 6.86 ± 1.23 g/dL, while 56 (53.8%) patients had severe anemia. Gastroscopy and colonoscopy were performed in 75.0% and 41.4% of patients, respectively, confirming gastrointestinal bleeding in most of the cases. Treatment optimization was carried out for 56 patients. Follow-up revealed elevated Hb levels after one and six months post-discharge, while anemia-related readmissions stayed below 10%. CONCLUSIONS Most hospitalized anemic patients on antithrombotic treatment had endoscopic findings favoring gastrointestinal bleeding. Half received inappropriate antithrombotic therapy. Treatment optimization and regular follow-up improved Hb levels and reduced readmissions.

Rosmarinic acid in combination with ginsenoside Rg1 suppresses colon cancer metastasis via co-inhition of COX-2 and PD1/PD-L1 signaling axis. Acta Pharmacol Sin 2024; 45:193-208.

Abstract
Metastasis of colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of mortality among CRC patients. Elevated COX-2 and PD-L1 expression in colon cancer tissue has been linked to distant metastasis of tumor cells. Although COX-2 inhibitors and immune checkpoint inhibitors demonstrate improved anti-tumor efficacy, their toxicity and variable therapeutic effects in individual patients raise concerns. To address this challenge, it is vital to identify traditional Chinese medicine components that modulate COX-2 and PD-1/PD-L1: rosmarinic acid (RA) exerts striking inhibitory effect on COX-2, while ginsenoside Rg1 (GR) possesses the potential to suppress the binding of PD-1/PD-L1. In this study we investigated whether the combination of RA and GR could exert anti-metastatic effects against CRC. MC38 tumor xenograft mouse model with lung metastasis was established. The mice were administered RA (100 mg·kg-1·d-1, i.g.) alone or in combination with GR (100 mg·kg-1·d-1, i.p.). We showed that RA (50, 100, 150 μM) or a COX-2 inhibitor Celecoxib (1, 3, 9 μM) concentration-dependently inhibited the migration and invasion of MC38 cells in vitro. We further demonstrated that RA and Celecoxib inhibited the metastasis of MC38 tumors in vitro and in vivo via interfering with the COX-2-MYO10 signaling axis and inhibiting the generation of filopodia. In the MC38 tumor xenograft mice, RA administration significantly decreased the number of metastatic foci in the lungs detected by Micro CT scanning; RA in combination with GR that had inhibitory effect on the binding of PD-1 and PD-L1 further suppressed the lung metastasis of colon cancer. Compared to COX-2 inhibitors and immune checkpoint inhibitors, RA and GR displayed better safety profiles without disrupting the tissue structures of the liver, stomach and colon, offering insights into the lower toxic effects of clinical traditional Chinese medicine against tumors while retaining its efficacy.

Progression of Gastrointestinal Injury During Antiplatelet Therapy After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: A Secondary Analysis of the OPT-PEACE Randomized Clinical Trial. JAMA Netw Open 2023; 6:e2343219.

Abstract
Importance Gastrointestinal injury progression induced by antiplatelet therapy in patients after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has not been well studied. Objective To assess the association of aspirin, clopidogrel, and their combination with gastrointestinal injury progression among patients without high bleeding risk after PCI. Design, Setting, and Participants This secondary analysis assessed data from the Optimal Antiplatelet Therapy for Prevention of Gastrointestinal Injury Evaluated by ANKON Magnetically Controlled Capsule Endoscopy (OPT-PEACE) double-masked, placebo-controlled, multicenter randomized clinical trial. The OPT-PEACE trial was conducted at 28 centers in China, and recruitment took place from July 13, 2017, to July 13, 2019. The trial included patients with stable coronary artery disease or acute coronary syndromes without ST-segment elevation after PCI. Statistical analysis was conducted from September 13, 2022, to January 23, 2023. Interventions Patients underwent magnetically controlled capsule endoscopy (MCE) at baseline and after 6 months of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with aspirin (100 mg/d) plus clopidogrel (75 mg/d). Those with no evidence of gastrointestinal ulcers or bleeding (ie, the intention-to-treat [ITT] cohort) were randomized (1:1:1) to aspirin (100 mg/d) plus matching placebo (aspirin alone), clopidogrel (75 mg/d) plus matching placebo (clopidogrel alone), or DAPT for an additional 6 months. A third MCE was performed 12 months after PCI. Main Outcomes and Measures The primary outcome was the rate of gastric injury progression as assessed with the results of the 3 MCEs (at baseline, 6 months, and 12 months) in the modified intention-to-treat (mITT) population. The key secondary outcome was the rate of small-intestinal injury progression. Gastric or small-intestinal injury progression was defined as a quantitative increase in erosions or ulcers between the second and third MCEs (at 6 and 12 months, respectively). Results This study included the 394 patients in the mITT cohort. Their mean (SD) age was 56.9 (8.7) years, and most were men (296 [75.1%]). A total of 132 patients were randomized to aspirin alone, 132 to clopidogrel alone, and 130 to DAPT. Gastric injury progression occurred in 49 aspirin users (37.1%), 64 clopidogrel users (48.5%), and 69 DAPT users (53.1%) (P = .02), reflecting a lower rate of gastric injury progression among aspirin users vs DAPT users (risk ratio [RR], 0.70 [95% CI, 0.49-0.99]; P = .009). No significant difference was observed between clopidogrel alone and DAPT (48.5% vs 53.1%; P = .46) or between aspirin alone and clopidogrel alone (37.1% vs 48.5%; P = .06). A total of 51 aspirin users (38.6%), 65 clopidogrel users (49.2%), and 71 DAPT users (54.6%) (P = .03) developed progressive small-intestinal injury, reflecting a lower rate of small-intestinal injury among aspirin users vs DAPT users (RR, 0.71 [95% CI, 0.50-0.99]; P = .01). No difference was observed between patients treated with clopidogrel vs DAPT (49.2% vs 54.6%; P = .38) or with aspirin vs clopidogrel (38.6% vs 49.2%; P = .08). Conclusions and Relevance In this secondary analysis of a randomized clinical trial, ongoing use of aspirin, clopidogrel, or their combination between 6 and 12 months after PCI was associated with progressive gastric and small-intestinal injury in a substantial proportion of patients, more so with DAPT than with monotherapy. Clopidogrel was at least as likely as aspirin to induce gastrointestinal injury progression. Future research is warranted to determine what impact the findings from MCEs would have on decision-making of antiplatelet therapy. Trial Registration ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03198741.

Abstract
Patients with severe infections and a pre-existing indication for antithrombotic therapy, i.e. antiplatelet agents, anticoagulant drugs, or their combinations, require integrated clinical counselling among coagulation, infectious disease, and cardiology specialists, due to sepsis-induced coagulopathy that frequently occurs. Bacterial and viral pathogens constitute an increasing threat to global public health, especially for patients with ongoing antithrombotic treatment who have a high risk of thrombotic recurrences and high susceptibility to severe infections with increased morbidity and mortality. Similarly, sepsis survivors are at increased risk for major vascular events. Coagulopathy, which often complicates severe infections, is associated with a high mortality and obligates clinicians to adjust antithrombotic drug type and dosing to avoid bleeding while preventing thrombotic complications. This clinical consensus statement reviews the best available evidence to provide expert opinion and statements on the management of patients hospitalized for severe bacterial or viral infections with a pre-existing indication for antithrombotic therapy (single or combined), in whom sepsis-induced coagulopathy is often observed. Balancing the risk of thrombosis and bleeding in these patients and preventing infections with vaccines, if available, are crucial to prevent events or improve outcomes and prognosis.

Abstract
Gastrointestinal (GI) complications are seen in over 50% of ischemic stroke survivors; the most common complications are dysphagia, constipation, and GI bleeding. The bidirectional relationship of the gut-brain axis and stroke has recently gained traction, wherein stroke contributes to gut dysbiosis (alterations in the normal host intestinal microbiome) and gut dysbiosis perpetuates poor functional neurologic outcomes in stroke. It is postulated that the propagation of proinflammatory cells and gut metabolites (including trimethylamine N-oxide and short-chain fatty acids) from the GI tract to the central nervous system play a central role in gut-brain axis dysfunction. In this review, we discuss the known GI complications in acute ischemic stroke, our current knowledge from experimental stroke models for gut-brain axis dysfunction in stroke, and emerging therapeutics that target the gut-brain axis.

Abstract
Adjusting antiplatelet strategies after antiplatelet-associated gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB) is a complex clinical challenge. To assess the risk of outcomes at different times of resumption of antiplatelet therapy in an attempt to find the optimal time to resume therapy. The study analyzed consecutive patients with antiplatelet-associated GIB from Beijing Friendship Hospital Information System between October 2019 and June 2022. The primary outcomes were recurrent bleeding, major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACE), and all-cause death. Multivariate-adjusted Cox proportional hazards models were used to evaluate the risks of these outcomes. The receiver operating characteristic curve was used to find the optimal time to resume treatment. Of the 617 patients with GIB after antiplatelet therapy successfully followed up, the median follow-up was 246 (interquartile range: 120-466) days, most patients (87.36%) interrupted therapy after GIB and 45.22% resumed within 90 days, of which 35.13% resumed within 7 days and 64.87% resumed after 7 days. Resumption therapy had a low risk of recurrent bleeding (uninterrupted as a reference: HR 0.32, 95% CI 0.15-0.67, p = 0.003), MACE (no resumption as a reference: HR 0.66, 95% CI 0.45-0.98, p = 0.037), and all-cause death (no resumption as a reference: HR 0.18, 95% CI 0.08-0.40, p < 0.001). And resuming therapy within 7 days had a lower risk of MACE (HR 0.18, 95% CI 0.08-0.44, p < 0.001) than after 7 days without a significantly higher risk of re-bleeding. The optimal time point for resuming therapy in this study was 8.5 days. Resuming antiplatelet therapy after GIB provides better clinical benefits compared to discontinued and uninterrupted therapy, especially compared with resuming after 7 days, resuming within 7 days is associated with a lower risk of MACE and a less significant increased risk of recurrent bleeding, leading to a higher net clinical benefit.

Abstract
Antiplatelet agents are used worldwide mainly for primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular events on a long-term basis for mortality benefit. Gastrointestinal bleeding is a well-known adverse effect. Various factors are to be considered while choosing antiplatelet agents to prevent the risk of bleed and rebleed incidents. These range from deciding on the agent, timing of therapy, underlying indications, coadministration of proton pump inhibitor, etc. At the same time, one must weigh the risks of cardiovascular events secondary to the stoppage of antiplatelet therapy. With this review, we have tried to guide the clinician on decision-making regarding the care of patients on management of acute upper and lower gastrointestinal bleeding, stoppage, restarting of agents, and measures to prevent a recurrence. We have focused on aspirin and clopidogrel as they are among the most widely used antiplatelet agents.

Abstract
BACKGROUNDS AND AIMS Complete and consecutive observation of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract continues to present challenges for current endoscopy systems. We developed a novel upper and mid gastrointestinal (UMGI) capsule endoscopy using the modified detachable string magnetically controlled capsule endoscopy (DS-MCE) and inspection method and aimed to assess the clinical application. METHODS Patients were recruited to undergo UMGI capsule endoscopy followed by esophagogastroduodenoscopy. All capsule procedures in the upper gastrointestinal (UGI) tract were conducted under the control of magnet and string. The main outcome was technical success, and the secondary outcomes included visualization of the UMGI tract, examination time, diagnostic yield, compliance, and safety evaluation. RESULTS Thirty patients were enrolled and all UMGI capsule procedures realized repeated observation of the esophagus and duodenum with detection rates of 100.0%, 80.0%, and 86.7% of Z-line, duodenal papilla, and reverse side of pylorus, respectively. String detachment was succeeded in 29 patients (96.7%) and the complete examination rate of UMGI tract was 95.45% (21/22). All UMGI capsule procedures were well tolerated with low discomfort score, and had a good diagnostic yield with per-lesion sensitivity of 96.2% in UGI diseases. No adverse events occurred. CONCLUSIONS This new capsule endoscopy system provides an alternative screening modality for the UMGI tract, and might be indicated in cases of suspected upper and small bowel GI bleeding.

Abstract
Each week, I record audio summaries for every paper in JACC, as well as an issue summary. This process has become a true labor of love due to the time they require, but I am motivated by the sheer number of listeners (16 million plus), and it has allowed me to familiarize myself with every paper that we publish. Thus, I have selected the top 100 papers (both Original Investigations and Review Articles) from distinct specialties each year. In addition to my personal choices, I have included papers that have been the most accessed or downloaded on our websites, as well as those selected by the JACC Editorial Board members. In order to present the full breadth of this important research in a consumable fashion, we will present these abstracts in this issue of JACC, as well as their Central Illustrations and podcasts. The highlights comprise the following sections: Basic & Translational Research, Cardiac Failure & Myocarditis, Cardiomyopathies & Genetics, Cardio-Oncology, Congenital Heart Disease, Coronary Disease & Interventions, Coronavirus, Hypertension, Imaging, Metabolic & Lipid Disorders, Neurovascular Disease & Dementia, Promoting Health & Prevention, Rhythm Disorders & Thromboembolism, and Valvular Heart Disease.1-100.

Abstract
The first international guidance on antithrombotic therapy in the elderly came from the European Society of Cardiology Working Group on Thrombosis in 2015. This same group has updated its previous report on antiplatelet and anticoagulant drugs for older patients with acute or chronic coronary syndromes, atrial fibrillation, or undergoing surgery or procedures typical of the elderly (transcatheter aortic valve implantation and left atrial appendage closure). The aim is to provide a succinct but comprehensive tool for readers to understand the bases of antithrombotic therapy in older patients, despite the complexities of comorbidities, comedications and uncertain ischaemic- vs. bleeding-risk balance. Fourteen updated consensus statements integrate recent trial data and other evidence, with a focus on high bleeding risk. Guideline recommendations, when present, are highlighted, as well as gaps in evidence. Key consensus points include efforts to improve medical adherence through deprescribing and polypill use; adoption of universal risk definitions for bleeding, myocardial infarction, stroke and cause-specific death; multiple bleeding-avoidance strategies, ranging from gastroprotection with aspirin use to selection of antithrombotic-drug composition, dosing and duration tailored to multiple variables (setting, history, overall risk, age, weight, renal function, comedications, procedures) that need special consideration when managing older adults.

Abstract
For 20 years, dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT), consisting of the combination of aspirin and a platelet P2Y12 receptor inhibitor, has been the gold standard of antithrombotic pharmacology after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). In the past 5 years, several investigations have challenged this paradigm by testing the efficacy and safety of P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy (that is, without aspirin) following a short course of DAPT. Collectively, these studies suggested a reduction in the risk of major bleeding and no significant increase in thrombotic or ischaemic events compared with guideline-recommended DAPT. Current recommendations are evolving to inform clinical practice on the ideal candidates for P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy after PCI. Generalizing the results of studies of P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy requires a thorough understanding of their design, populations, interventions, comparators and results. In this Review, we provide an up-to-date overview on the use of P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy after PCI, including supporting pharmacodynamic and clinical evidence, practical recommendations and future directions.

Abstract
Gastrointestinal diseases are complex diseases that occur in the gastrointestinal tract. Common gastrointestinal diseases include chronic gastritis, peptic ulcers, inflammatory bowel disease, and gastrointestinal tumors. These diseases may manifest a long course, difficult treatment, and repeated attacks. Gastroscopy and mucosal biopsy are the gold standard methods for diagnosing gastric and duodenal diseases, but they are invasive procedures and carry risks due to the necessity of sedation and anesthesia. Recently, several new approaches have been developed, including serological examination and magnetically controlled capsule endoscopy (MGCE). However, serological markers lack lesion information, while MGCE images lack molecular information. This study proposes combining these two technologies in a collaborative noninvasive diagnostic scheme as an alternative to the standard procedures. We introduce an interpretable framework for the clinical diagnosis of gastrointestinal diseases. Based on collected blood samples and MGCE records of patients with gastrointestinal diseases and comparisons with normal individuals, we selected serum metabolite signatures by bioinformatic analysis, captured image embedding signatures by convolutional neural networks, and inferred the location-specific associations between these signatures. Our study successfully identified five key metabolite signatures with functional relevance to gastrointestinal disease. The combined signatures achieved discrimination AUC of 0.88. Meanwhile, the image embedding signatures showed different levels of validation and testing accuracy ranging from 0.7 to 0.9 according to different locations in the gastrointestinal tract as explained by their specific associations with metabolite signatures. Overall, our work provides a new collaborative noninvasive identification pipeline and candidate metabolite biomarkers for image auxiliary diagnosis. This method should be valuable for the noninvasive detection and interpretation of gastrointestinal and other complex diseases.

Abstract
Purpose Although aspirin can effectively reduce the occurrence of atherothrombosis, it is significantly associated with increased bleeding, with elderly individuals being at increased risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and hemorrhage. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of aspirin 50 mg/d and 100 mg/d for the prevention and management of CVD in Chinese elderly. Patients and Methods The Low-dose Aspirin for Primary and Secondary Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease in the Elderly Study (LAPIS) is a multicenter, prospective, observational cohort study, this study was a single-center interim analysis of LAPIS. Patients aged ≥60 and required long-term aspirin for primary and secondary prevention of CVD were eligible. From Apr 1, 2019 to Feb 28, 2022, 165 patients who received 50 mg/d aspirin and 261 patients who received 100 mg/d aspirin were included in the study. The incidence of major cardiovascular events (MACEs), bleeding events, and gastrointestinal adverse events were compared between two groups. Results After adjusting for patient characteristics using propensity score matching, aspirin 100 mg/d was associated with increased incidence rates of total bleeding events (28.34 vs.17.25 events/100 patient-years, HR 1.671, 95% CI 1.024–2.712, P = 0.040) and minor bleeding events (27.63 vs.15.92 events/100 patient-years, HR 1.738, 95% CI 1.056–2.861, P = 0.031), whereas the incidence of MACE (6.35 vs 6.65 events/100 patient-years, HR 0.921, 95% CI 0.399–2.127, P = 0.848) and gastrointestinal adverse events (12.73 vs.10.42 events/100 patient-years, HR 1.206, 95% CI 0.623–2.337, P = 0.578) were similar between the two groups. Multivariate Cox analysis identified that aspirin dose (100 mg/d vs. 50 mg/d, HR 1.918, 95% CI 1.137–3.235, P = 0.015), concomitant use of other antiplatelets (HR 1.748, 95% CI 1.009–3.028, P = 0.046) and anticoagulants (HR 2.501, 95% CI 1.287–4.862, P = 0.007) were independently associated with bleeding events. Conclusion 50 mg/d aspirin may be preferred to balance the safety and effectiveness in Chinese individuals over 60 years of age who need long-term aspirin for the prevention and management of CVD.

Abstract
Background Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) is recommended in secondary prevention after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), but it is inevitably associated with the risk of bleeding, of which gastrointestinal bleeding accounts for more than half. Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) may increase the risk of major cardiovascular adverse events when reducing the risk of upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Therefore, the optimal duration of a PPI in combination with DAPT is unclear. Methods The “Proton Pump Inhibitor Preventing Upper Gastrointestinal Injury in Patients on Dual Antiplatelet Therapy after CABG” (DACAB-GI-2) study is a prospective, single-center, open-label, parallel, randomized controlled trial. A total of 232 eligible subjects who are scheduled or initiated on DAPT (clopidogrel plus aspirin or ticagrelor plus aspirin) for 12 months immediately after CABG will be enrolled and be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to either a 12-month pantoprazole treatment arm or a 1-month treatment arm. The primary outcome is to assess the rate of gastroduodenal erosions and ulcers evaluated by esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) within 12 months after randomization, based on the modified Lanza score. Secondary outcomes include reflux esophagitis and upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Other pre-specified outcomes include major adverse cardiovascular events, graft failure, and all-cause death. Discussion This study aims to compare the efficacy and safety of 12 months and 1 month of pantoprazole treatment in preventing DAPT-related upper gastrointestinal mucosal injury after CABG. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov NCT03908593.

Abstract
Gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB) is one of the common clinical emergencies and is usually caused by the long-term use of antiplatelet drugs. With the increase in the prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD), there are a growing number of patients with GIB secondary to antiplatelet drugs. In this setting, the discontinuation and resumption of antiplatelet drugs in patients with GIB who are receiving antiplatelet drugs for CVD has become a hot research topic. This article aims to comprehensively review the management of antiplatelet drugs after GIB in patients with CVD using aspirin or P2Y12 receptor antagonist alone as well as dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) to guide clinical practice.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Anemia is a common complication of gastrointestinal (GI) disorders, with a prevalence up to 60% in celiac disease (CeD) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is the most prevalent form of anemia in these conditions, but chronic inflammation and vitamin B12 deficiency represent other common contributing mechanisms, especially in IBD. AREAS COVERED We discuss the pathogenesis of anemia in various medical GI disorders, the sometime problematic distinction between IDA, anemia of inflammation (AI) and the association of the two, and therapeutic and preventive measures that can be useful for the management of anemia in GI disorders. Unfortunately, with the exception of IDA and AI in IBD, large RCT concerning the treatment of anemia in GI disorders are lacking. EXPERT OPINION Anemia management strategies in GI disorders are outlined, with a focus on the main prevention, diagnostic, and therapeutic measures. Specific problems and situations such as the role of gluten-free diet for IDA treatment in CeD, the choice between oral and parenteral supplementation of iron or vitamin B12 in carential anemias, the use of endoscopic procedures to stop bleeding in intestinal angiodysplasia and preventive/treatment strategies for NSAID-associated GI bleeding are discussed.

Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23116355.

Abstract
The Gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori (HP) may influence the development of coronary heart disease (CHD). H. pylori induce reactive oxygen species (ROS), which transform cholesterol to 7-ketocholesterol (7-kCh), a CHD risk factor. Acetylsalicylic acid (ASA)—an Anti-aggregation drug used in CHD patients—may increase gastric bleeding and inflammation. We examined whether H. pylori driven ROS effects in the cell cultures of gastric epithelial cells (AGS) and vascular endothelial cells (HUVEC) progress in the milieu of 7-kCh and ASA. Cell cultures, exposed to 7-kCh or ASA alone or pulsed with the H. pylori antigenic complex—Glycine acid extract (GE), urease (UreA), cytotoxin associated gene A (CagA) protein or lipopolysaccharide (LPS), alone or with 7-kCh and ASA—were examined for ROS, apoptosis, cell integrity, interleukin (IL)-8, the activation of signal transducer, the activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), and wound healing. ASA and 7-kCh alone, and particularly in conjunction with H. pylori components, increased the ROS level and the rate of apoptosis, which was followed by cell disintegration, the activation of STAT3, and IL-8 elevation. AGS cells were unable to undergo wound healing. The cell ROS response to H. pylori components may be elevated by 7-kCh and ASA.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Over the course of 2021, numerous key clinical trials with valuable contributions to clinical cardiology were published or presented at major international conferences. This review seeks to summarise these trials and reflect on their clinical context. METHODS The authors reviewed clinical trials presented at major cardiology conferences during 2021 including the American College of Cardiology (ACC), European Association for Percutaneous Cardiovascular Interventions (EuroPCR), European Society of Cardiology (ESC), Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics (TCT), American Heart Association (AHA), European Heart Rhythm Association (EHRA), Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions (SCAI), TVT-The Heart Summit (TVT) and Cardiovascular Research Technologies (CRT). Trials with a broad relevance to the cardiology community and those with potential to change current practice were included. RESULTS A total of 150 key cardiology clinical trials were identified for inclusion. Interventional cardiology data included trials evaluating the use of new generation novel stent technology and new intravascular physiology strategies such as quantitative flow ratio (QFR) to guide revascularisation in stable and unstable coronary artery disease. New trials in acute coronary syndromes focused on shock, out of hospital cardiac arrest (OOHCA), the impact of COVID-19 on ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) networks and optimal duration/type of antiplatelet treatment. Structural intervention trials included latest data on transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and mitral, tricuspid and pulmonary valve interventions. Heart failure data included trials with sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, sacubitril/valsartan and novel drugs such as mavacamten for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Prevention trials included new data on proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitors. In electrophysiology, new data regarding atrial fibrillation (AF) screening and new evidence for rhythm vs. rate control strategies were evaluated. CONCLUSION This article presents a summary of key clinical cardiology trials published and presented during the past year and should be of interest to both practising clinicians and researchers.
