The pathogenesis of congenital heart disease can not be explained by a simple genetic mechanism.Currently,it is recognized by the interaction of genetic and environmental factors.The environmental factors change epigenetic conditions in body.Methylation is the earliest research aspect in epigenetics.However,methylation in congenital heart disease is not being given enough attention until recent years.Therefore,this review describes the relationship between methylation and congenital heart disease,in order to make us understand the pathogenesis of congenital heart disease in-depthly.

Objective: To observe the clinical efficacy of different media in pediatric tuina treatment for children with muscular torticollis. Methods: A total of 80 children with muscular torticollis were randomized into an observation group and a control group, 40 cases in each group. Both groups received conventional pediatric tuina therapy. The observation group was treated with Bai Mai ointment as the massage medium, while the common lubrication oil was used as medium in the control group. Both groups were treated five times a week, 20 min for each time, 20 times constituted a course of treatment. The traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome scores were evaluated before and after treatment, and the curative effect was observed after 3 courses and 6 courses of treatment respectively. Results: The TCM syndrome scores improved in both groups after treatment, and the intra-group differences were statistically significant (both P<0.01). The score of the observation group was statistically different from that in the control group (P<0.05). In the observation group, the total effective rates after 3 courses and 6 courses of treatment were 95.0%and 100.0%, respectively, versus 87.5% and 95.0% in the control group. The total effective rates of the two groups were statistically different (both P<0.05). Conclusion: Bai Mai ointment has a better curative effect than the common lubricating oil as a massage medium in the treatment of children with muscular torticollis.

The patients with stroke is often accompanied by malnutrition, its causes include eating less, increased catabolism, and intestinal dysfunction, etc. Malnutrition can not only aggravate the extent of brain damage in patients with stroke, but also increase the incidence of complications, and thus affecting the course and prognosis of stroke. Therefore, correct evaluation of the nutritional status in stroke patients, choosing the appropriate nutrient timing and nutritional support methods have important significance. Among a variety of nutritional assessment methods, the scored Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment can quickly identify malnutrition in stroke patients. Early enteral nutrition support, including oral nutritional supplements, nasogastric tube feeding and percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy, can significantly improve the prognosis in stroke patients. Among them, nasogastric tube feeding is the first choice for nutritional support in stroke patients.

Xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis (XGC) is benign and chronic, which is rarely seen in clinical practice.The clinical and imaging presentation of XGC is similar to that of chronic cholecystitis, cholecystolithiasis and gallbladder cancer.Summarizing the computed tomography (CT) presentations of XGC is helpful in improving the diagnostic accuracy. According to the result of a retrospective analysis based on the clinical data of 17 patients with XGC, we concluded that rim enhancement sign and hypodense band sign in the arterial phase of contrast enhanced CT, and clear in interface between liver and gallbladder and trimness of internal wall in gallbladder are the CT characteristics of XGC.

A rabbit model of Yang deficiency was established by means of total thyrodectomy and the effect of Decoction for warming kidney and restoring Yang (DWKRY) on the hepatic ultrastructure of the model was observed under transmission eletron microscopy. It was shown in the liver cell of the rabbit model that the number of organelles was decreased, the mitochondria were reduced, degenerated and irregularly distributed, a large number of glycogen granules was stored in the cytoplasm, and the intercellular space was widened. After the administtration of DWKRY, the ultrastructure of liver cells approached normal. This study provides a valuable morphological basis for the establishment of Yang-deficiency animal model and the evaluation of the effect of DWKRY on Yang-deficiency syndrome.
