请帮忙分析一下语法结构，谢谢（XDF网络课堂）

1、After a 1980 recommendation for preventing heart attacks, aspirn used for a number of other illnesses such as cataracts, diabetes and numerous other forms of cancers.

答案：used----has been used  可是对于第一个选项还是不理解，有谁能帮忙分析一下呢？谢谢

2、Issues of prices place, promotion and product are among the most conventional concerns of  marketing strategic planning, despite growing calls to expand the range of issues into day's more complex world.

答案已经写在上面了，只是对despite+n.+to do这种用法不太懂，是固定用法吗？谢谢！

1,你是不是看错了?这个结构的确很奇怪

2,despite是介词,后面跟的是名词性短语.
