Objective: To explore relationship between increase of fibrous and fatty in atrioventricular node (AVN) and narrowing of the AVN artery. To analyze the cause of pathological fibrosis and fatty infiltration in AVN.
Methods: One hundred and nineteen cases of sudden cardiac death determined by autopsy were selected and the histological sections were examined with Image-pro plus software to calculate the AVN area, AVN artery inside-diameter, AVN artery lumen area(LA) , AVN artery perimeter area(PA), fibrous area and fatty area. All cases were divided into two groups: narrowing of artery group and normal control group. The changes of the PA/LA value and the fibrous and fatty contents were evaluated.
Results: The PA/LA value is the highest in 21-40 age group. The difference of the fatty contents and total interstitial tissue was statistical significance in the two groups under 40 years of age.
Conclusion: There is some relationship between the narrowing of the AVN artery and the increase of interstitial contents in AVN.

Exploring the mechanism of avenanthramide in the treatment of atherosclerosis based on network pharmacology and molecular docking: An observational study.

Atherosclerosis (AS) is a disease characterized by the buildup of fat and fibrous elements within the walls of arteries and is a primary factor in the occurrence of heart failure and mortality. The potential targets and mechanisms underlying the anti-atherosclerotic effects of avenanthramide (Avn) were investigated using network pharmacology, molecular docking, and molecular dynamics simulations. Target information for Avn A, B, and C was collected from the PubChem and Swiss Target Prediction databases.

Purpose: The aim of this systematic review and survival analysis was to quantify the benefits of orthobiologic augmentation therapies for the treatment of avascular necrosis (AVN) of the femoral head and identify the most effective approach to delay the need for total hip arthroplasty (THA).
Methods: A systematic review of the literature was performed on PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane on clinical studies on orthobiologic therapies used alone or as an augmentation to core decompression or other procedures to address hip AVN. A qualitative analysis of the different biological therapies applied was performed.
Atrioventricular node ablation and the pathological findings of a refractory ectopic atrial tachycardia in a small infant with hypoplastic left heart syndrome: a case report.

Background: An atrioventricular node (AVN) ablation and permanent pacing have been previously reported as effective treatments for patients with atrial tachyarrhythmias. However single-ventricle patients requiring chronic ventricular pacing are at a higher risk of developing ventricular dysfunction and atrioventricular valve regurgitation. We report a case of successful AVN ablation in a 3-month-old infant with hypoplastic left heart syndrome and ectopic atrial tachycardia (EAT).

BACKGROUND Scaphoid nonunion (SN) is a challenging condition in wrist pathology, often resulting in severe consequences if left untreated. Surgical intervention, particularly using vascularized bone grafts (VBGs), is a promising but uncertain approach. The 4+5 extensor compartment artery (ECA) pedicled graft, less commonly used for SN, has potential benefits due to its vascular supply and accessibility to the scaphoid.

Case: Capitate avascular necrosis should be entertained in a differential diagnosis of young, active adults with midcarpal wrist pain. We present a case study of a 30-year-old laborer who developed avascular necrosis (AVN) of his right proximal capitate. Grip strength and wrist motion were limited on examination, with advanced imaging confirming AVN.
