Article Abstract
Background: The anti-carcinogenic properties of aspirin have been observed in some solid tumors. However, the molecular mechanism of therapeutic effects of aspirin on bladder cancer is still indistinct. We introduced a bioinformatics analysis approach, to explore the targets of aspirin in bladder cancer (BC).
Methods: To find out the potential targets of aspirin in BC, we analyzed direct protein targets (DPTs) of aspirin in Drug Bank 5.0. The protein-protein interaction (PPI) network and signaling pathway of aspirin DPTs were then analyzed subsequently. A detailed analysis of the KEGG (Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes) pathway has shown that aspirin is linked to BC. We identified overexpressed genes in BC comparing with normal samples by Oncomine and genes that interlinked with aspirin target genes in BC by STRING.
Results: Firstly, we explored 16 direct protein targets (DPT) of aspirin. We analyzed the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network and signaling pathways of aspirin DPT. We found that aspirin is closely associated with a variety of cancers, including BC. Then, we classified mutations in 3 aspirin DPTs (CCND1, MYC and TP53) in BC using the cBio Portal database. In addition, we extracted the top 50 overexpressed genes in bladder cancer by Oncomine and predicted the genes associated with the 3 aspirin DPTs (CCND1, MYC and TP53) in BC by STRING. Finally, 5 exact genes were identified as potential therapeutic targets of aspirin in bladder cancer.
Conclusion: The analysis of relevant databases will improve our mechanistic understanding of the role of aspirin in bladder cancer. This will guide the direction of our next drug-disease interaction studies.

Spinal Cord Stroke in the Pediatric Population: A Clinical Overview.
Pediatr Neurol
September 2025
Division of Pediatric Neurology, Department of Pediatrics, University of Texas Health Science Center, and McGovern Medial School, Houston, Texas.
Background: Spinal cord stroke is a rare but serious condition in the pediatric population, with limited data available. We present a series of 6 pediatric cases to review their clinical presentation, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings, etiology, risk factors, management, and outcomes.
Methods: A descriptive analysis was conducted following institutional review board approval, focusing on 6 pediatric patients previously identified by the authors.
Trends in age and antithrombotic therapy in patients who underwent transurethral resection of bladder tumor and perioperative complications.

Introduction: We investigated the subsequent trends in age and antithrombotic therapy in patients who underwent transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) and examined the rate of perioperative complications.
Methods: Medical records of patients who underwent TURBT were retrospectively analyzed. We arbitrarily divided the observation years into three periods (I: 2007-2013, II: 2014-2018, and III: 2019-2023) to compare the trends in age and frequency of perioperative complications after TURBT between patients taking and those not taking antithrombotic drugs.
Antithrombotic therapy for a case report of acute myocardial infarction after laparoscopic radical cystectomy.

Department of Urology, Shandong Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University, Jinan, China.
Background: Radical cystectomy constitutes the standard therapeutic approach for high-risk urothelial carcinomas of the bladder. Contemporary guidelines advise urologists to discontinue anticoagulation therapy during the perioperative period to mitigate the risk of significant intraoperative or postoperative hemorrhage. Nevertheless, in elderly patients with a history of coronary artery disease, the cessation of anticoagulant medication elevates the risk of acute myocardial infarction, thereby posing a substantial threat to their survival.

Long-term use of low-dose aspirin has been demonstrated to reduce cancer risk, but the duration of necessary medication use remains uncertain. This study aimed to investigate the long-term chemoprotective effect of aspirin among the Chinese population. This population-based study included all aspirin users between 2000 and 2019.

BMC Pediatr

Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, West China Second University Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, China.
Background: Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute systemic immune vasculitis affecting multiple organs and systems in children, and is prevalent in children under 5 years of age. Muscular weakness is a rare manifestation of KD, and only 11 pediatric patients with KD combined with muscular weakness have been reported, of which evidence of myositis was found in 2/3 of the patients, and 1/3 could not be explained by myositis, the mechanism of which is still unclear. Cases of KD combined with bladder retention are even more rare, and there has been only 1 case report of KD combined with bladder retention in a child with no previous underlying disease.
