Abstract\nHIGHLIGHTSWith the development of children’s education, parents and teachers pay more and more attention to the learning and training of children with developmental dyslexia (DD). There are many reasons for DD and various intervention tools with a large number of learning costs. In this paper, we aim to analyze the relationship between music, pinyin, and reading, and confirm the theoretical link of "music - Chinese pinyin - reading ability". Then, we sort out a method to design the music intervention tool in this article, which is a new tangible interactive tool for children with DD. This tool is composed of hardware and software and has three modules: music intervention, pinyin intervention, and reading intervention, covering a total of 11 levels and is suitable for classroom teaching, home self-study, and other scenarios, to improve the Chinese pinyin and reading abilities. Subsequently, we conducted a pre-experiment and formal experiment on 20 children with DD to demonstrate the effectiveness of this tool, while using the SUS scale to analyze the evaluation of these children. Finally, we figured that the intervention tool designed in this study has a certain helpful effect on improving the phonetic and reading abilities of children with DD, and is more effective than the three intervention methods used alone. This study has certain reference significance for the designers of intervention tools and also provides new intervention methods for teachers in training institutions. It also provides another possibility for the self-treatment and training of children with developmental dyslexia.Combine music with Chinese Pinyin and Chinese reading to design.Provide a new tangible interactive intervention tool for children with developmental dyslexia in China.Design several levels for music, Pinyin, and reading intervention systems using an advanced music teaching method.

Multifunctional magneto-plasmonic nanoparticles with magnetic hyperthermia and photothermal therapy could kill cancer cells efficiently. Herein, carbon-encapsulated Au/Fe 3 O 4 (Au/Fe 3 O 4 @C) was fabricated using an enclosed flame spray pyrolysis. The nanostructures, including an Fe 3 O 4 core (51.9-55.2 nm) with a decreasing carbon shell thickness and an Au core (4.68-8.75 nm) coated with 2-4 graphite layers, were tailored by tuning the C 2 H 4 content in the reacting gas mixture. Saturation magnetization (33.7-48.2 emu/g) and optical absorption were determined. The carbon shell facilitated the dispersion of Au/Fe 3 O 4 and restrained their laser-induced and magnetic field-induced coalescence and growth. Au/Fe 3 O 4 @C exhibited excellent magnetic resonance imaging capability (91.4 mM -1 s -1 ) and photothermal performance (65.4°C for 0.8 mg/mL Au/Fe 3 O 4 @C at a power density of 1.0 W/cm 2 after 300 s near-IR laser irradiation (808 nm)). Moreover, the combined application of photothermal and magnetic-heating properties reduced the required intensity of both laser and magnetic field compared to the intensity of separate situations. Our work provides a unique, intriguing approach to preparing multicomponent core/shell nanoaggregates that are promising candidates for esophageal cancer cell therapy., Competing Interests: The authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest., (Copyright © 2024 Wang, Liu, Zhou, Zhao and Cai.)
