Choe SH, Choi EY, Hyeon JY, Choi IS, Kim SJ. Effect of nitric oxide-releasing derivative of indomethacin on Prevotella intermedia lipopolysaccharide-induced production of proinflammatory mediators in murine macrophages. Biochem Biophys Res Commun 2017; 492:224-230. [PMID: 28822764 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbrc.2017.08.055] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/02/2017] [Accepted: 08/15/2017] [Indexed: 01/17/2023]
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the influences of NCX 2121, a nitric oxide (NO)-releasing derivative of indomethacin, upon the generation of proinflammatory mediators using murine macrophages activated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) isolated from Prevotella intermedia, which is one of the pathogens implicated in periodontal diseases. Inducible NO synthase (iNOS)-derived NO, IL-1β and IL-6 as well as their relevant mRNA were significantly attenuated by NCX 2121 in RAW264.7 cells activated by P. intermedia LPS. NCX 2121 was much more effective than the parental compound indomethacin in reducing these proinflammatory mediators. NCX 2121 triggered induction of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) in cells exposed to P. intermedia LPS, and its inhibitory influence upon P. intermedia LPS-elicited NO generation was notably blocked by SnPP treatment. NCX 2121 attenuated NF-κB-dependent SEAP release induced by P. intermedia LPS. NCX 2121 did not display inhibitory action towards IκB-α degradation triggered by LPS. Instead, it significantly diminished nuclear translocation as well as DNA-binding action of NF-κB p50 subunit elicited by P. intermedia LPS. Further, NCX 2121 significantly up-regulated SOCS1 mRNA expression in cells challenged with P. intermedia LPS. In summary, NCX 2121 down-regulates P. intermedia LPS-elicited generation of NO, IL-1β and IL-6 in murine macrophages in a mechanism that involves anti-inflammatory HO-1 induction as well as decrement of NF-κB activation, which may be associated with SOCS1 expression. NCX 2121 may have potential benefits as a host immunomodulatory agent for the therapy of periodontal disease.

NCX 4040, a nitric oxide-donating aspirin derivative, inhibits Prevotella intermedia lipopolysaccharide-induced production of proinflammatory mediators in murine macrophages. Eur J Pharmacol 2015; 768:87-95. [PMID: 26511379 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejphar.2015.10.032] [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: 07/25/2015] [Revised: 09/15/2015] [Accepted: 10/19/2015] [Indexed: 10/22/2022]
Abstract
In this study, the effects and underlying mechanisms of NCX 4040, a nitric oxide (NO)-donating aspirin derivative, on the production of proinflammatory mediators were examined using murine macrophages exposed to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from Prevotella intermedia, a pathogen implicated in the etiology of periodontal disease. NCX 4040 significantly reduced P. intermedia LPS-induced production of inducible NO synthase (iNOS)-derived NO, IL-1β and IL-6 as well as their mRNA expression in RAW264.7 cells. Notably, NCX 4040 was much more effective than the parental compound aspirin in reducing LPS-induced production of inflammatory mediators. NCX 4040 induced the expression of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) in cells treated with P. intermedia LPS, and the suppressive effect of NCX 4040 on LPS-induced NO production was significantly reversed by SnPP, a competitive HO-1 inhibitor. NCX 4040 did not influence LPS-induced phosphorylation of JNK and p38. IκB-α degradation as well as nuclear translocation and DNA-binding activities of NF-κB p65 and p50 subunits induced by P. intermedia LPS were significantly reduced by NCX 4040. Besides, LPS-induced phosphorylation of STAT1 and STAT3 was significantly down-regulated by NCX 4040. Further, NCX 4040 elevated the SOCS1 mRNA in cells stimulated with LPS. This study indicates that NCX 4040 inhibits P. intermedia LPS-induced production of NO, IL-1β and IL-6 in murine macrophages through anti-inflammatory HO-1 induction and suppression of NF-κB, STAT1 and STAT3 activation, which is associated with the activation of SOCS1 signaling. NCX 4040 could potentially be a promising tool in the treatment of periodontal disease, although further studies are required to verify this.

Abstract
Background Several studies have indicated that dietary fiber may have a protective effect on gastrointestinal mucosa. The aim of this study was to evaluate the protective action of the soluble fiber Plantago ovata husk against intestinal damage. Methods To evaluate the anti-ulcerogenic effect on duodenal mucosa of the soluble fiber Plantago ovata husk, low-dose acetylsalicylic acid (10 mg/kg) was given orally to animals once daily for 14 or 28 days with and without Plantago ovata husk (100 mg/kg). 24 h after final dosing duodenal samples were removed for anatomopathological evaluation. Villi were examined by both light and scanning electron microscopy. Results Acetylsalicylic acid induced severe lesions in duodenal mucosa of rabbits, including erosions, epithelium disorganization, and cell vacuolization, increasing as well the amount of mononuclear and caliciform cells. Damage was much more severe in animals treated for 28 days. In groups receiving Plantago ovata husk, a significant attenuation of acetylsalicylic acid-induced lesions was already observed in group treated for 14 days, becoming more evident in those treated for 28 days, all of them with duodenal cytoarchitecture normal and similar to control animals. Conclusions These findings suggest that Plantago ovata husk may protect intestinal mucosa probably by limiting acetylsalicylic acid penetration into epithelial cells, although further studies are needed to confirm the same effect in other experimental models of induced mucosal damage and to elucidate the mechanisms of fiber protection.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO)-donating non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) represent a promising new class of drugs developed to provide a safer alternative than their conventional NSAID counterparts in chemoprevention. We tested the effects of NO-aspirin 2 on Phase I and Phase II carcinogen-metabolizing enzymes. In HepG2 human hepatoma cells and in LS180 colonic adenocarcinoma cells, NO-aspirin 2 inhibited 2,3,7,8-tetrachlordibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD)-induced cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzyme activity and CYP1A1 and CYP1A2 mRNA expression. These effects were further characterized as being mediated through transcriptional regulation: NO-aspirin 2 inhibited binding of ligand (TCDD)-activated aryl hydrocarbon receptor to the CYP1A1 enhancer sequence; additionally, NO-aspirin 2 suppressed carcinogen-induced expression of CYP1A heterogeneous nuclear RNA. The fate of carcinogen metabolites depends not only on activation by CYP enzymes but also detoxification by Phase II enzymes. Both HepG2 and LS180 cells treated with NO-aspirin 2 showed an increase in glutathione S-transferase-P1 (GST-P1), glutamate-cysteine ligase (GCL), and NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase-1 (NQO1) expression. Compared with two other NO-releasing compounds, diethylenetriamine-NO and the organic nitrate, isosorbide dinitrate, the inhibitory effects of NO-aspirin 2 on TCDD-induced CYP activity and mRNA expression were considerably more potent. Furthermore, aspirin alone had no inhibitory effect on TCDD-induced CYP activity, nor did aspirin up-regulate GCL, GST-P1, or NQO1 expression. Consequent to the effects on carcinogen-metabolizing enzymes, NO-aspirin 2 inhibited [3H]benzo[a]pyrene-DNA adduct formation and DNA damage elicited by TCDD or benzo[a]pyrene. Our results demonstrate that NO-aspirin 2 may be an effective chemopreventive agent by favorably affecting the inhibitory and enhancing effects of Phase I and Phase II carcinogen metabolism, thereby protecting DNA from carcinogenic insult.

Abstract
Cecropia glazioui Sneth (Cecropiaceae) is used in folk medicine in tropical and subtropical Latin America as cardiotonic, diuretic, hypotensive, anti-inflammatory and anti-asthmatic. The hypotensive/antihypertensive activity of the plant aqueous extract (AE) and isolated butanolic fraction (BuF) has been confirmed and putatively related to calcium channels blockade in vascular smooth musculature [Lapa, A.J., Lima-Landman, M.T.R., Cysneiros, R.M, Borges, A.C.R., Souccar, C., Barreta, I.P., Lima, T.C.M., 1999.

Harwood Academic Publishers, Amsterdam, pp. 185-196; Lima-Landman, M.T., Borges, A.C., Cysneiros, R.M., De Lima, T.C., Souccar, C., Lapa, A.J., 2007. Antihypertensive effect of a standardized aqueous extract of Cecropia glaziovii Sneth in rats: an in vivo approach to the hypotensive mechanism. Phytomedicine 14, 314-320]. Bronchodilation and antidepressant-like activities of both AE and BuF have been also shown [Delarcina, S., Lima-Landman, M.T., Souccar, C., Cysneiros, R.M., Tanae, M.M., Lapa, A.J., 2007. Inhibition of histamine-induced bronchospasm in guinea pigs treated with Cecropia glaziovi Sneth and correlation with the in vitro activity in tracheal muscles.

Antidepressant-like effect of Cecropia glazioui Sneth and its constituents -in vivo and in vitro characterization of the underlying mechanism. Phytomedicine 14, 396-402]. This study reports the antiulcer and antisecretory gastric acid activities of the plant AE, its BuF and isolated compounds with the possible mechanism involved. Both AE and BuF were assayed on gastric acid secretion of pylorus-ligated mice, on acute models of gastric mucosal lesions, and on rabbit gastric H(+), K(+)-ATPase preparations. Intraduodenal injection of AE or BuF (0.5-2.0g/kg, i.d) produced a dose-related decrease of the basal gastric acid secretion in 4-h pylorus-ligated mice. At 1.0g/kg, BuF decreased the volume (28%) and total acidity (33%) of the basal acid secretion, and reversed the histamine (2.5mg/kg, s.c.)- or bethanecol (1.0mg/kg, s.c.)-induced acid secretion to basal values, indicating inhibition of the gastric proton pump. Pretreatment of mice with the BuF (0.05-0.5g/kg, p.o.) protected against gastric mucosal lesions induced by 75% ethanol, indomethacin (30mg/kg, s.c.) or restraint at 4 degrees C. BuF also decreased the gastric H(+), K(+)-ATPase activity in vitro proportionately to the concentration (IC(50)=58.8microg/ml). The compounds isolated from BuF, consisting mainly of cathechins, procyanidins and flavonoids [Tanae, M.M., Lima-Landman, M.T.R., De Lima, T.C.M., Souccar, C., Lapa, A.J., 2007. Chemical standardization of the aqueous extract of Cecropia glaziovii Sneth endowed with antihypertensive, bronchodilator, antacid secretion and antidepressant-like activities. Phytomedicine 14, 309-313], inhibited the in vitro gastric H(+), K(+)-ATPase activity at equieffective concentrations to that of BuF. The results indicate that C. glazioui constituents inhibit the gastric proton pump; this effect may account for the effective antisecretory and antiulcer activities of the standardized plant extract.

Abstract
Although non steroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have been shown to be effective as chemopreventive agents, important side-effects limit their clinical use. A promising novel class of drugs, nitric oxide-donating NSAIDs (NO-NSAIDs), has been found to be more active than classical NSAIDs. This study explored the effect of the NO-donating aspirin derivative, NCX 4040, on three human pancreatic adenocarcinoma cell lines (Capan-2, MIA PaCa-2 and T3M4). NCX 4040 activity was compared with that of NCX 4016 (an NO(2)-positional isomer of NCX 4040), SNAP (a standard NO-releasing molecule), NCX 4042 (denitrated analog of NCX 4040), and aspirin. NCX 4040 showed a striking cytocidal activity in all cell lines, already inducing significant percentages of apoptotic cells at 10 muM in Capan-2 cell lines. This study focused on the biological mechanisms of sensitivity and resistance to NCX 4040, highlighting that the cytotoxic action of this drug may be due to the hyperexpression of Bax, its translocation to the mitochondria, the release of Cytochrome C, and the activation of caspases-9 and -3, overall in a p53-independent manner. Moreover, the use of a specific COX-2 inhibitor (NS 398) in the experimental models showed that COX-2 hyperexpression could partially explain the resistance mechanisms to NCX 4040.

Abstract
Nitric oxide-releasing non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NO-NSAIDs) are a promising class of compounds that cause cell cycle perturbations and induce apoptosis in cell lines from different tumors. We investigated the activity of a recently developed NO-NSAID (NCX 4040) in bladder cancer cell lines (HT1376 and MCR). Cells were treated with different drug concentrations for different exposure times. Cytostatic and cytocidal activity was tested by SRB assay and apoptosis was evaluated by TUNEL analysis, ANNEXIN V assay and fluorescence microscopy. To further investigate the cell death-inducing mechanisms of NCX 4040, we analyzed gp-170, caspase expression and mitochondrial membrane potential (Delta Psi) depolarization. NCX 4040 showed a striking cytocidal activity in both cell lines, reaching LC(50) at a 10-microM and 50-microM concentrations in HT1376 and in MCR cells, respectively, after an exposure of only 6 h followed by an 18-h washout. Apoptosis was triggered in up to 90% of cells and was associated with active caspase-3 expression and Delta Psi depolarization in both cell lines after a 6-h exposure. In conclusion, NCX 4040, which probably causes apoptosis via a mitochondrial-dependent mechanism, could prove to be a useful agent for improving bladder cancer treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of our study was to explore the anti-tumoral potential of the Nitric Oxide-Donating Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NO-NSAID) NCX1102 (nitrosulindac), on three human prostatic epithelial cell lines at varying degree of transformation (PNT1A, LNCaP, and PC3). METHODS Cytotoxicity, anti-proliferative effects, cell-cycle alterations, morphological changes, and apoptosis were investigated after treatment with nitrosulindac in comparison to the native molecule sulindac. Involvement of the polyamine pathway in the action of nitrosulindac was also examined. RESULTS Nitrosulindac but not sulindac exerted a cytotoxic effect on all cell lines and an anti-proliferative effect on LNCaP and PC3 cells only. Nitrosulindac differentially altered the cell cycle, induced mitotic arrest and displayed a pro-apoptotic activity in all cell lines. Finally, the polyamine pathway does not seem to be involved in the mechanism of nitrosulindac action. CONCLUSIONS Our results demonstrate the anti-proliferative and proapoptotic activity of nitrosulindac on prostate cancer cell lines and suggest its potential interest for new strategies in the management of prostate cancer.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine the effects of flunixin meglumine and etodolac treatment on recovery of ischemic-injured equine jejunal mucosa after 18 hours of reperfusion. ANIMALS 24 horses. PROCEDURE Jejunum was exposed to 2 hours of ischemia during anesthesia. Horses received saline (0.9% NaCl) solution (12 mL, i.v., q 12 h), flunixin meglumine (1.1 mg/kg, i.v., q 12 h), or etodolac (23 mg/kg, i.v., q 12 h). Tissue specimens were obtained from ischemic-injured and nonischemic jejunum immediately after ischemia and 18 hours after recovery from ischemia. Transepithelial electric resistance (TER) and transepithelial flux of tritium-labeled mannitol measured mucosal permeability. Denuded villous surface area and mean epithelial neutrophil count per mm2 were calculated. Western blot analysis for cyclooxygenase (COX)-1 and -2 was performed. Pharmacokinetics of flunixin and etodolac and eicosanoid concentrations were determined. RESULTS Ischemic-injured tissue from horses treated with flunixin and etodolac had significantly lower TER and increased permeability to mannitol, compared with that from horses treated with saline solution. Epithelial denudation after ischemia and 18 hours after recovery was not significantly different among treatments. Both COX-1 and -2 were expressed in ischemic-injured and nonischemic tissues. Ischemia caused significant upregulation of both COX isoforms. Eicosanoid concentrations were significantly lower in tissues from flunixin and etodolac-treated horses, compared with that from horses treated with saline solution. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Flunixin and etodolac treatment retarded recovery of intestinal barrier function in jejunal mucosa after 18 hours of reperfusion, whereas tissues from horses treated with saline solution recovered baseline values of TER and permeability to mannitol.

Abstract
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are potent antitumoral agents but their side effects limit their clinical use. A novel class of drugs, nitric oxide-donating NSAIDs (NO-NSAIDs), was found to be safer and more active than classical NSAIDs. This study explored the effect of the NO-donating sulindac derivative, NCX 1102, on three human urothelial epithelial carcinoma cell lines (T24, 647V, and 1207) and primary cultures of normal urothelial cells. Cytotoxicity, antiproliferative effect, cell cycle alterations, morphological changes, and apoptosis were investigated after treatment with NCX 1102 in comparison with the native molecule. After treatment, there was a cytotoxic effect (with IC50 at 48 h of 23.1 μm on 647V, 19.4 μm on T24, and 14.5 μm on 1207) and an antiproliferative effect on all three cell lines with NCX 1102 but not with sulindac. No effect was detected on normal urothelial cells. Flow cytometric analysis showed a differential NCX 1102-induced accumulation of cells in various phases of the cell cycle, depending on cell line and concentration. NCX 1102 induced an occurrence of multinucleated cells in all cell lines and mitotic arrest in 647V and 1207. NCX 1102-treated T24 and 647V cell lines showed a significant difference of apoptotic cell amount when compared to controls. Our results demonstrated a greater antiproliferative potency of NCX 1102 compared to its parent molecule sulindac, and suggested that this new NO-NSAID may have therapeutic impact in the management of bladder cancer.

Abstract
NSAID-induced intestinal toxicity is more common than previously recognized and may have clinically significant sequelae, especially in elderly arthritic patients. Increased awareness of the potential intestinal complications associated with prostaglandin inhibition is required for early recognition and appropriate management. An increase in the level of suspicion by physicians may lead to earlier diagnosis and subsequent discontinuation of the offending NSAID; this is important in that discontinuation of the offending agent may be preferable to multiple endoscopic radiologic and surgical procedures in the patient with obscure blood loss and anemia. Appropriate diagnosis in selected patients may prevent the increased morbidity and mortality associated with small intestinal surgery. The emergence of selective COX-2 inhibitors likely will bring this issue to the forefront because it will become increasingly important to determine the effects of these agents on the small intestine and colon, in addition to their effects on the gastroduodenal mucosa. The new generation of selective COX-2 inhibitors may offer a potential therapeutic advantage over the nonselective NSAIDs with respect to their intestinal toxicity. Well-designed safety trials that have intestinal injury as a predefined end point will provide important information as to the overall gastrointestinal safety of these compounds. These agents must be evaluated with respect to their overall safety profile and not just by their gastrointestinal safety. Nevertheless, these agents are continuing to provide new directions for exciting basic and clinical scientific investigation.

Abstract
Peptic ulcer disease is a common gastrointestinal disease whose management and treatment has changed dramatically over the last 25 years. Treatment of peptic ulcer disease has evolved from dietary modifications and antacids to gastric acid suppression with H2-receptor antagonists and proton pump inhibitors to eradication of Helicobactor pylori infection. Treatment of patients infected with H pylori using antibiotics has changed the natural history of peptic ulcer disease. As a result of H pylori treatment and other unknown factors ulcer disease is declining and complications from ulcer disease have diminished significantly.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bisphosphonates are effective treatments for osteoporosis. Since some primary amino bisphosphonates are associated with oesophageal injury, we conducted a study of the upper gastrointestinal effects of risedronate, a pyridinyl bisphosphonate. METHODS Healthy, postmenopausal women received risedronate 5 mg (n=26), aspirin 2600 mg (n=27), or placebo (n=27) daily for 14 days and underwent endoscopy at baseline, Day 8 and Day 15. RESULTS Oesophageal erosions were noted in one subject in the aspirin group, two in the placebo group, and none in the risedronate group, and an ulcer in one aspirin-treated subject. Gastric erosions and ulcers were observed most frequently in the aspirin group. Gastric ulcers were noted in eight subjects in the aspirin group, one in the placebo group, and none in the risedronate group (P=0.010, placebo vs. aspirin; P=0.002, risedronate vs. aspirin). Duodenal erosions and ulcers were observed in the aspirin group only. Gastroduodenal erosion scores of three or more occurred more frequently in the aspirin than in the risedronate and placebo groups (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Risedronate 5 mg was not associated with oesophageal or gastroduodenal ulcers in healthy, postmenopausal women, a population representative of patients who will receive risedronate in the clinical setting.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Bisphosphonates are effective treatment for osteoporosis, but upper gastrointestinal injury associated with some compounds has caused concern. This study compared the incidence of gastric ulcers after treatment with risedronate, a pyridinyl bisphosphonate, and alendronate, a primary amino bisphosphonate. Esophageal and gastroduodenal injury assessed by endoscopy scores was a secondary endpoint. METHODS Healthy, postmenopausal women (n = 515) received 5 mg risedronate (n = 255) or 10 mg alendronate (n = 260) for 2 weeks. At baseline and on days 8 and 15, subjects underwent endoscopy and evaluator-blinded assessment of the esophageal, gastric, and duodenal mucosa. RESULTS Gastric ulcers were observed during the treatment period in 9 of 221 (4.1%) evaluable subjects in the risedronate group compared with 30 of 227 (13.2%) in the alendronate group (P < 0.001). Mean gastric endoscopy scores for the risedronate group were lower than those for the alendronate group at days 8 and 15 (P </= 0.001). Mean esophageal and duodenal endoscopy scores were similar in the 2 groups at days 8 and 15. Esophageal ulcers were noted in 3 evaluable subjects in the alendronate group, compared with none in the risedronate group, and duodenal ulcers were noted in 1 evaluable subject in the alendronate group and 2 in the risedronate group. CONCLUSIONS At doses used for the treatment of osteoporosis, risedronate was associated with a significantly lower incidence of gastric ulcers than alendronate. These findings confirm that bisphosphonates differ in their potential to damage the gastroesophageal mucosa.

Abstract
We examined the dynamic regulation of mucus gel thickness (MGT) in vivo in rat duodenum in response to luminal acid, cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibition, and exogenous PGE(2). An in vivo microscopic technique was used to measure MGT with fluorescent microspheres in urethan-anesthetized rats. Duodenal mucosa was topically superfused with pH 7.0 or pH 2.2 solutions with or without PGE(2) and indomethacin treatments. Glycoprotein concentration of duodenal loop perfusates was measured with periodic acid/Schiff (PAS) or Alcian blue (AB) staining. MGT and perfusate glycoprotein concentration were stable during a 35-min perfusion with pH 7.0 solution. Acid exposure increased MGT and PAS- and AB-positive perfusate glycoprotein concentrations. Indomethacin pretreatment increased both PAS- and AB-positive perfusate glycoprotein at baseline; subsequent acid superfusion decreased perfusate glycoproteins and gel thickness. PGE(2) (1 mg/kg iv) simultaneously increased MGT and PAS-positive perfusate glycoprotein concentrations followed by a transient increase in AB-positive glycoprotein concentration, suggesting contributions from goblet cells and Brunner's glands. Parallel changes in MGT and perfusate glycoprotein concentration in response to luminal acid and PGE(2) suggest that rapid MGT variations reflect alterations in the balance between mucus secretion and exudation, which in turn are regulated by a COX-related pathway. Luminal acid and PGE(2) augment mucus secretion from goblet cells and Brunner's glands.

Abstract
Aspirin and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can produce a mild, systemic hemostatic defect by inhibiting normal platelet function. Aspirin acetylates and permanently inactivates cyclooxygenase (COX), while nonaspirin NSAIDs reversibly block COX; thus, all of these drugs cause platelet dysfunction by inhibiting the formation of thromboxane A2, a platelet-activating and vasoconstricting eicosanoid. However, spontaneous bleeding complications outside the gastrointestinal tract very rarely result from the use of aspirin and other NSAIDs in individuals who are otherwise hemostatically normal. Most types of surgery are not usually associated with clinically significant bleeding in patients taking these drugs, making it typically unnecessary to discontinue them and thus delay surgery for the purpose of restoring normal hemostasis. Exceptions may include operations at sites where optimal hemostasis is critical, surgical manipulation of the genitourinary tract and oral cavity, and possibly cardiac surgery. Factors that increase the risk of bleeding with aspirin and other NSAIDs include coexisting coagulation abnormalities and the simultaneous use of alcohol or anticoagulants.
