Background: Aspirin is widely used to treat various clinical symptoms. Evidence suggests that aspirin has antiviral properties, but little is known about its specific effect against rotavirus.
Methods: MA104, Caco-2, and CV-1 cells were infected with rotavirus, and aspirin was added after 12 h. Viral mRNA and titer levels were measured by qRT-PCR and immunofluorescence assays. For in vivo validation, forty specific-pathogen-free SD rats were randomly divided into oral aspirin (ASP) groups and control (NC) groups. 16 S rRNA gene sequencing was performed to identify gut microbiota. After 6 months of continuous ASP/NC administration, the rats were infected with rotavirus. Fecal samples were collected over a 30-day time course, and viral levels were quantified. Proinflammatory cytokines/chemokine levels were measured by ELISA.
Results: Aspirin inhibited rotavirus infection in cell lines and in rats. The effects of aspirin on viral replication were associated with the alteration of gut microbiota composition by aspirin, including increased abundance of Firmicutes and decreased abundance of Bacteroidetes after aspirin treatment. Mechanistically, aspirin reduced IL-2 and IL-10 levels, and increased IRF-1 and COX-2 levels. Aspirin blocked rotavirus replication in vitro and in vivo, which might be related to effects on IRF-1, COX-2, chemokines, and gut microbial composition.
Conclusion: These results indicate that long-term oral aspirin administration reduces rotavirus infection. Intestinal virus infection may be suppressed in elderly patients who take aspirin for a long time. The change of their Gut microbiota may lead to functional disorder of the intestinal tract, which may provide some reference for clinical adjuvant probiotics treatment.

We investigated clinical factors and biochemical markers associated with amygdalar metabolic activity evaluated by [F]-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) in 346 subjects without a history of malignant neoplasms. Univariate regression analysis revealed significant relationships between amygdalar metabolic activity and fasting plasma glucose (FPG), glycated hemoglobin, coronary artery disease (CAD) history, aspirin use, oral hypoglycemic agents (OHAs) use, and asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA). In multiple stepwise regression analysis, FPG and CAD history were independently associated with amygdalar metabolic activity.

Aims: There were no previous studies comparing aspirin versus P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy following short dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) after complex percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Methods And Results: We conducted a prespecified subgroup analysis based on complex PCI in the 1-year results of the STOPDAPT-3 trial, which randomly compared 1-month DAPT followed by aspirin monotherapy (aspirin group) to 1-month prasugrel monotherapy followed by clopidogrel monotherapy (clopidogrel group). The main analysis in the present study was the 30-day landmark analysis.
Purpose: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) have risen exponentially in usage and have been shown to exert neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory effects across multiple organ systems. This study investigates whether GLP-1RAs influence the risk for age-related ocular diseases.
Design: Retrospective cohort study.

Introduction: Aspirin is commonly recommended for individuals who have experienced stroke or myocardial infarction (MI). Indobufen, a cyclooxygenase-1 inhibitor, has been studied as a potential alternative. We conducted a meta-analysis and trial sequential analysis (TSA) to compare indobufen with aspirin in patients requiring antiplatelet therapy.

Background: People with subclinical atrial fibrillation are at increased risk of stroke, albeit to a lesser extent than those with clinical atrial fibrillation, leading to an ongoing debate regarding the benefit of anticoagulation in these individuals. In the ARTESiA trial, the direct-acting oral anticoagulant apixaban reduced stroke or systemic embolism compared with aspirin in people with subclinical atrial fibrillation, but the risk of major bleeding was increased with apixaban. In a prespecified subgroup analysis of ARTESiA, we tested the hypothesis that people with subclinical atrial fibrillation and a history of stroke or transient ischaemic attack, who are known to have an increased risk of recurrent stroke, would show a greater benefit from oral anticoagulation for secondary stroke prevention compared with those without a history of stroke or transient ischaemic attack.
