Magnetic induction hyperthermia becomes a very important tumor treatment method at present. In order to ensure a successful operation, doctors should make hyperthermia treatment planning before surgery. Based on Integration Healthcare Enterprise (IHE) framework and Digital Imaging and Communications in Medcine (DICOM) standard, we proposed and carried out a network workflow integrated with modern medical information systems for the dissemination of information in magnetic induction hyperthermia like accurate accessing patient information and radiology image data, storing processed images, sharing and verifying hyperthermia reports. The results proved that our system could not only improve the efficiency of magnetic induction hyperthermia treatment planning, but also save medical resources and reduce labor costs.

Objective:To explore the clinical value of N terminal pro B type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) in diagnosing or predicting heart failure in peridialysis chronic kidney disease (CKD) population.Methods:It was a single-center retrospective study. Patients with peridialysis CKD who visited the Department of Nephrology, First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2021 to June 2021 were collected and divided into 4 groups according to the presence or absence of heart failure and the level of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), namely the non-heart failure group, heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) group (LVEF<40%), heart failure with mid-range ejection fraction (HFmrEF) group (40％≤LVEF<50％), and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) group (LVEF≥50％). The NT-proBNP, echocardiography and other indicators of the 4 groups were compared. The value of plasma NT-proBNP in diagnosing heart failure, HFpEF, HFmrEF and HFrEF was analyzed by drawing receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC curve). Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the related factors of heart failure in peridialysis CKD patients.Results:A total of 508 patients were included, including 11 cases in the HFrEF group, 29 cases in the HFmrEF group, 152 cases in the HFpEF group, and 316 cases without heart failure. The differences in age, 24-h urine volume, hemodialysis proportion, non-dialysis proportion, serum creatinine, estimated glomerular filtration rate, hemoglobin, serum albumin, C-reactive protein, NT-proBNP, cardiac troponin I, left ventricular internal diameter, LVEF, pulmonary artery systolic pressure, left ventricular end-diastolic volume, E/A value, septal thickness, and left ventricular posterior wall thickness among the four groups were statistically significant ( P < 0.05, respectively). A two-pair comparison (all P values corrected by Bonferroni method) revealed that the 24-h urine volume was higher in the non-heart failure group than in the other three groups (corrected P<0.05, respectively), while the proportion of hemodialysis patients and the levels of NT-proBNP and C-reactive protein were lower in the non-heart failure group than in the other three groups (corrected P<0.001, respectively); the levels of hemoglobin and serum albumin were lower in the HFpEF group than in the non-heart failure group (corrected P<0.001, respectively); troponin I was lower in the non-heart failure group than in the HFpEF group (corrected P<0.001), HFmrEF group (corrected P=0.001) and HFrEF group (corrected P<0.001), and troponin I was lower in the HFpEF group than in the HFrEF group (corrected P=0.008); LVEF was higher in the non-heart failure group than in the other three groups (corrected P<0.001, respectively), and LVEF in the HFpEF group was higher than in the HFmrEF and HFrEF groups (corrected P<0.001, respectively). For patients with peridialysis CKD, the cut-off values of plasma NT-proBNP for diagnosing or predicting heart failure, HFpEF, HFmrEF and HFrEF were 4 943.33 ng/L, 4 976.83 ng/L, 14 964.5 ng/L and 17 847.55 ng/L, respectively. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that NT-proBNP (every 500 ng/L increase, OR=1.390, 95% CI 1.287-1.501, P<0.001), LVEF ( OR=0.747, 95% CI 0.656-0.851, P<0.001) and 24-h urine volume (every 100 ml increase, OR=0.842, 95% CI 0.763-0.929, P=0.001) were independently correlated with heart failure. Conclusions:The cut-off value of plasma NT-proBNP for diagnosing or predicting heart failure in peridialysis CKD patients is much higher than that in patients with normal renal function. NT-proBNP, LVEF and 24-h urine volume are independently associated with heart failure in peridialysis CKD patients.

Objective: To identify the functional connectivity characteristics of insula, sensory and social related brain regions in boys with autism spectrum disorder(ASD), to explore the central nervous basis of sensory abnormality affecting core symptoms in boys with ASD. Methods: Resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs fMRI) data were collected from 34 boys with ASD and 29 typical development boys (TD group). Based on functional connectivity analysis, the sensory related brain regions, insula, and social related brain regions were taken as regions of interest to calculate the functional connectivity (FC) level between the regions of interest, the differences between the two groups were compared and the results were corrected by FDR. The Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS), Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS) and Autism Spectrum Quotient-Children s Version (AQ-Child) were used to assess the core phenotypes of boys with ASD. Results: Compared with the TD group, the levels of FC between tactile brain regions and insula, olfactory brain regions and insula, auditory brain regions and insula in boys with ASD group were significantly increased. The level of FC between the insula and bilateral amygdala，insula and the medial prefrontal cortex(mPFC) were significantly increased( P <0.05).Pearson correlation analysis showed that the level of FC between auditory brain region(BA42)and left insula in ASD group was negatively correlated with the scores of communication subscale of ADOS( r =-0.44)，social interaction subscale of ADOS( r =-0.43), communication & social interaction subscale of ADOS( r =-0.49),attention to details subscale of AQ-Child( r =-0.41). The level of FC between the right insula and right amygdala was positively correlated with the attention switch subscale of AQ-Child( r =0.38), the level of FC between right insula and mPFC was positively correlated with the scores of repetitive behavior subscale of ADOS( r =0.48), the attention switch subscale of AQ-Child( r =0.49), total scale subscale of AQ-Child( r =0.41), total scale of CARS( r =0.41)( P < 0.05 ). Conclusion The levels of FC between insula and sensory related, social related brain regions are abnormal in children with ASD, which have significant correlations with clinical symptoms. In depth studies can be conducted to explore underlying neutral mechanisms.

Objective: To explore the differences of sensory manifestations between ASD children and typical development children, and to clarify the characteristics of sensory abnormalities in ASD and their relationship with various clinical symptoms, so as to provide scientific basis for early identification and specific intervention. Methods: A total of 265 ASD children who received rehabilitation training in autism rehabilitation institutions in Heilongjiang Province were collected as the case group, and 223 typical development children in ordinary kindergartens and schools in Harbin were taken as the control group. Short Sensory Profile (SSP) was used to evaluate the difference of children s sensory perception level between the two groups, and Social Response Scale (SRS) and Autism Behavior Checklist (ABC) were used to evaluate the severity of symptoms including social disorder of autistic children. The correlation between SSP scores in ASD group and clinical scales was analyzed. Results: The comparison of SSP scores between the two groups found that the median scores of all sensory dimensions in ASD group (tactile=33, taste/smell=18, motion sensitivity=13, Low response/sensation seeking=28, auditory filtering=19, low strength=22, visual/auditory=20) were lower than those of the healthy control group( Z =-2.73,-4.36,-3.17,-5.09,-11.00,-10.45,-3.43, P <0.05). The abnormal rate of multisensory score in children in ASD group was 55.1%, and that in control group was 21.2%, with significant difference( χ 2=57.15, P <0.05). Correlation analysis showed that SSP score in ASD group was negatively correlated with all dimensions of SRS, nonverbal communication, and social function of ADI-R scale, ADOS communication and social interaction, and total scores of ABC and CARS( P < 0.05 ). Conclusion Children with ASD have atypical sensory experiences, especially in auditory filtering dimension, and the level of atypical sensation is related to the severity of clinical symptoms of autism. In the future clinical diagnosis, treatment and research, it is necessary to strengthen the ability to recognize the sensory symptoms of children with ASD, so as to realize the early diagnosis and intervention.

Sepsis is one of the leading causes of death in intensive care unit(ICU)patients,typically resulting from excessive inflammation induced by infection,leading to multiple organ dysfunction syndrome and life-threatening complications.Exosomes are a type of extracellular vesicle that are lipid bilayered nanoparticles secreted by cells.In recent years,numerous studies have demonstrated their involvement in the occurrence and development of sepsis.The various molecular substances carried by exosomes have been shown to regulate sepsis-related inflammation and organ damage.In particular,different types of exosomes hold promise as diagnostic biomarkers for sepsis patients,and also provide new therapeutic targets for improving patient outcomes.This review was conducted on the research progress concerning the relationship between exosomes and sepsis,sepsis associated-acute lung injury(SA-ALI),sepsis associated encephalopathy(SAE),sepsis associated-acute kidney injury(SA-AKI),sepsis associated cardiomyopathy(SIC),and other organ injuries related to sepsis.This study aims to assist in guiding clinical diagnosis and treatment.
