Quantum illumination based on cavity-optomagnonics system with Kerr nonlinearity.

Quantum illumination is a quantum optical sensing technique, which employs an entangled source to detect low-reflectivity object immersed in a bright thermal background. Hybrid cavity-optomagnonics system promises to work as quantum illumination because a yttrium iron garnet (YIG) sphere can couple to microwave field and optical field. In this paper, we propose a scheme to enhance the entanglement between the output fields of the microwave and optical cavities by considering the intrinsic Kerr nonlinearity of the YIG.

Simulating topological phases with atom arrays in an optical waveguide.

In this paper, we employ the atomic arrays in one-dimensional optical waveguides to simulate topological phases, where the waveguide is modeled as a one-dimensional infinitely long coupled cavity array. Under the Markov approximation, the coherent and dissipative coupling between atoms is established by eliminating waveguide modes. When the detuning between atoms and cavity fields lies in the band gap, the dynamics of the system is completely dominated by the coherent interaction.

R233H mutation in patients with tyrosine hydroxylase deficiency and corresponding phenotypes: a study of four cases and literature review.

Owing to the small number of patients with tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) deficiency, no genotype-phenotype correlations have yet been identified. To investigate the genotype-phenotype correlation of R233H mutation in TH deficiency, we analyzed the clinical manifestations and treatment responses of four patients with the R233H homozygous mutation. Thirty-eight additional patients, available from the literature, known to be homozygous or heterozygous for the R233H mutation, were combined with the four cases from our hospital.

Force sensing in a dual-mode optomechanical system with linear-quadratic coupling and modulated photon hopping.

A weak force sensor scheme is presented in an optomechanical system, in which the two cavity modes couple to a mechanical mode with linear and quadratic coupling. Due to introducing time-dependent hopping, the linear and quadratic coupling terms coexist under the rotating-wave approximation in the interaction picture. Compared with the quantum non-demolition measurement (ignoring the quadratic optomechanical coupling), the current scheme can decrease the additional noise to a lower level.

Chinese guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of hand, foot and mouth disease (2018 edition).

Background: Hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) is a common infectious disease in childhood caused by an enterovirus (EV), and which is principally seen in children under 5 years of age. To promote diagnostic awareness and effective treatments, to further standardize and strengthen the clinical management and to reduce the mortality of HFMD, the guidelines for diagnosis and treatment have been developed.

Methods: National Health Commission of China assembled an expert committee for a revision of the guidelines.

Workplace violence against medical staff of Chinese children's hospitals: A cross-sectional study.

Background: In China, medical staff of children's hospitals are commonly exposed to violence. However, few studies on medical violence are conducted in the settings of children's hospitals. The aim of this study is to assess the incidence, magnitude, consequences, and potential risk factors of workplace violence (WPV) against medical staff of children's hospitals.

[Risk factors of invasive fungal infections in patients admitted to non- hematological oncology department and pediatric intensive care unit].

Objective: To determine risk factors of invasive fungal infections (IFI) in patients admitted to non-hematological oncology department and pediatric intensive care unit (PICU), in order to improve diagnostic level of invasive fungal infections.

Method: We retrospectively assessed 85 hospitalized pediatric patients with invasive fungal infections in Beijing Children's Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University from Jan.2007 to Nov.

[Viral etiology of acute respiratory tract infection among pediatric inpatients and outpatients from 2010 to 2012 in Beijing, China].

Objective: Acute respiratory tract infections (ARI) are the leading cause of pediatric morbidity and mortality worldwide, particularly in developing countries. Viruses are the main pathogens of ARI in children. The purpose of the present study was to determine the epidemiologic features of respiratory viruses, including novel viruses, in outpatient and hospitalized children with ARI.

[Comparisons of epidemiological and clinical characteristics in children with hand-foot-mouth disease caused by Enterovirus 71 and Coxackievirus A16].

Objective: To compare the differences of epidemiological and clinical characteristics in children with hand-foot-mouth disease (HFMD) caused by Coxsackievirus A16 (CA16) and Enterovirus 71 (EV71).

Methods: The samples of vesicle fluid and throat swabs of 108 children with HFMD were collected and detected for enterovirus by RT-PCR. The clinical data of children with EV71 and CA16 infection were retrospectively reviewed and compared.

[Cloning and sequencing of fragments associated with cytoplasm male sterility of rice].

Mitochorndrial DNA (mtDNA), nuclear DNA (nDNA), and genomic DNA (gDNA) were individually extracted from Zhenshan 97A, Xieqingzao A and A-23, which were cytoplasmic male sterile (wild abortive, dwarf abortive and BT), and from Zhenshan 97B, Xieqingzao B and BT, which were maintainers lines. Each of them was analyzed with 500 random primers by RAPD. Six fragments specific to male sterile lines were amplified.
