Association between perioperative management of antiplatelet agents and risk of post-endoscopic submucosal dissection bleeding in early gastric cancer: an analysis of a nationwide multicenter study
Data about the detail of post-endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) bleeding in patients with early gastric cancer (EGC) who take antiplatelet agents (APAs), particularly in those taking thienopyridine and cilostazol, are lacking. We aimed to clarify the association between the status of APA medication and post-ESD bleeding risk. (Source: Gastrointestinal Endoscopy)

Pacemaker implantation for persistent sinus node dysfunction in a patient with COVID ‐19
AbstractA 46-year-old woman was admitted with coronavirus disease-2019 infection. Symptomatic sinus bradycardia occurred, followed by congestive heart failure. Therapeutics such as isoproterenol, theophylline, and cilostazol could not safely improve her symptoms. She underwent pacemaker implantation 53  days after admission. Atrial pacing remained was at 60% after 6 months. (Source: Clinical Case Reports)

Exploration of treatments for subarachnoid hemorrhage
J Biomed Res (Middlet). 2022;3(1):48-55.ABSTRACTSubarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) continues to be a leading cause of morbidity and mortality, with cerebral vasospasm as a common etiology of worse clinical progression. The purpose of this study was to evaluate and review the current literature concerning the effective treatment of SAH. The treatment options for SAH are expanding as new therapeutic targets are identified. Nimodipine is the primary medication prescribed due to its neuroprotective properties. In addition, certain drugs can enhance lymphatic flow and influence the recovery process, such as Dexmedetomidine, SSRIs, a...

Reversal of spatial memory impairment by phosphodiesterase 3 inhibitor cilostazol is associated with reduced neuroinflammation and increased cerebral glucose uptake in aged male mice
The nucleotide second messenger 3′, 5′-cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) and 3′, 5′-cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) mediate fundamental functions of the brain, including learning and memory. Phosphodiesterase 3 (PDE3) can hydrolyze both cAMP and cGMP and appears to be involved in the regulation of their contents in cells. We previously demonstrated that long-term administration of cilostazol, a PDE3 inhibitor, maintained good memory performance in aging mice. Here, we report on studies aimed at determining whether cilostazol also reverses already-impaired memory in aged male mice. One month of oral 1.5% c...

Cilostazol as a Treatment for COVID Toes: A Case Report
We describe the case of a fully vaccinated, 56-year-old woman with no prior diagnosis of COVID-19 who developed pernio-like lesions many months after being vaccinated. Her skin lesions resolved after treatment with cilostazol, suggesting that this medication may be a viable treatment for pernio in the setting of COVID-19 infection.

Inhibition of platelet activation suppresses reactive enteric glia and mitigates intestinal barrier dysfunction during sepsis
CONCLUSIONS: The inhibition of platelet activation is related to the suppression of CD40L-CD40-TRAF6 signaling pathway and the reduction of EGCs activation, which promotes intestinal barrier function and survival in sepsis mice. These results might provide a potential therapeutic strategy and a promising target for sepsis.PMID:36401163 | DOI:10.1186/s10020-022-00562-w (Source: Molecular Medicine)
