The development of all-dielectric structures with high magnetic response at optical frequencies has become a matter of intense study in past years. However, magnetic effects are weak at optical frequencies due to the small value of the magnetic permeability of natural materials. To this end, natural dielectric materials are unemployable for practical “magnetic” applications in optics. We have shown for the first time that it is possible to induce intense magnetic concentric subwavelength “hot circles” in a dielectric mesoscale Janus particle. The basis of the Janus particle is a combination of the effects of a photonic jet, whispering-gallery waves, and the concept of solid immersion. Simulations show an (H/H0)2/(E/E0)2 contrast of more than 10, and maximal magnetic field intensity enhancement is more than 1000 for a wavelength-scaled particle with a refractive index n < 2 and a size parameter in the order of 30. This work may provide a new way to realize precise magnetic devices for integrated photonic circuits and light−matter interaction.

Background: Adalimumab is an effective treatment for juvenile idiopathic arthritis-associated uveitis. Data are scarce on the effects of discontinuing adalimumab after control of the disease had been reached. We aimed to assess efficacy and safety of discontinuing treatment in patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis-associated uveitis.

Objective: Sleep-related hypermotor epilepsy (SHE) is a relatively uncommon epilepsy syndrome, characterized by seizures closely related to the sleep cycle. This study aims to explore interictal electroencephalographic (EEG) characteristics in SHE.

Methods: We compared EEG data from 20 patients with SHE, 20 patients with focal epilepsy (FE), and 14 healthy controls, carefully matched for age, sex, education level, epilepsy duration, and drug-resistant epilepsy.

Objective: Whereas a few studies have evaluated vestibular involvement in Fabry disease (FD), the relationship between vestibular/oculomotor abnormalities and disease-specific biomarkers remain unclear. Therefore, we seek to evaluate these quantitatively and analyze their relationship with disease phenotype and biomarkers in FD.

Methods: This cohort study enrolled 37 Chinese FD patients registered in our center.

The relationship between retinal fundus hemorrhage and the severity of coronary artery lesions remains unclear. This study aimed to explore the incidence of fundus hemorrhage in patients at high risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) and to examine its correlation with the SYNTAX score, a tool used to assess the complexity of coronary artery disease. This retrospective study consecutively enrolled patients undergoing coronary angiography (CAG) at Beijing Anzhen Hospital Hospital from June 2019 to January 2020.
