Abstract
Background
Herpes simplex Encephalitis caused by Herpes simplex has an estimated annual prevalence in the order of 1 in 250,000 to 500,000 patients and is considered to be the most usually encountered non endemic pathogenic cause of lethal encephalitis in well developed countries. There are a few cases reported in the literature in which a diagnostic dilemma between was raised between herpes simplex encephalitis and brain glioma, and a definitive diagnosis was difficult to be obtained.
Case presentation
We report the case of a five year old female with previous medical history of premature thelarche. As a part of her investigation, an MRI of the brain was performed, which recognized a space-occupying lesion of the posterior fossa. An MRS was performed which advocated over the diagnosis of glioma. She was operated on but the histopathological analysis failed to verify the imaging findings. HSV 1 was detected in CSF samples. Follow up MRI scans illustrated the progression of the disease
The accumulation of data regarding CSF sample analysis, EEG, brain biopsy and imaging findings, along with the progression of the clinical picture of our patient, verified the diagnosis of HSV encephalitis.
Conclusions
When confronted with confounding data that can pose a diagnostic dilemma between HSV encephalitis and glioma, brain biopsy and PCR of CSF samples could be able to verify the definite diagnosis. When interpreting our results, always we have to consider the evolution of the clinical picture.

Abstract
Background: Cerebellar ataxia including spinocerebellar ataxia and Parkinson’s disease are neurodegenerative disorders clinically characterized by motor disabilities including gait disturbance. This study aimed to investigate the usefulness of an infrared depth sensor device to quantitatively evaluate gait disturbances and assess its cost effectiveness in patients with movement disorders.
Methods: Twenty five ataxic, twenty five Parkinson’s disease, and twenty five control subjects were enrolled and evaluated their walk over a short distance. Stride length, feet interval, gait rhythm, and a ratio of the actual walking route length to the linear distance between the start and goal points (A/L ratio) were assessed and compared between ataxic or Parkinson’s disease subjects and control subjects. Outcome correlations with clinical scales were also analyzed in the disease groups.
Results: The average stride length was shorter in ataxic subjects or Parkinson’s disease subjects than in control subjects. The average feet interval was larger in ataxic subjects than in control subjects. The stride length coefficient of variation (CV), gait rhythm CV, and average and standard deviations of the A/L ratio were larger in ataxic or Parkinson’s disease subjects than in control subjects. Ataxic subjects exhibited significant positive correlations between the CV of stride length or average feet interval and scale for the assessment and rating of ataxia scores or international cooperative ataxia rating scale scores. Parkinson’s disease subjects exhibited a significant correlation between the average stride length, CV of stride length, or standard deviation of A/L ratio and unified Parkinson's disease rating scale score.
Conclusion: The device used in this study differentiated the characteristics of gait disturbance in each movement disorder and quantitatively evaluated ataxia or Parkinson’s disease severity, indicating its potential clinical utility across applications.

Published: February 2019

Background:
Understanding of the restriction of HIV-1 transcription in resting CD4+ Tcells
is critical to find a cure for AIDS. Although many negative factors causing HIV-1 transcription
blockage in resting CD4+ T-cells have been found, there are still unknown mechanisms to explore.

Objective:
To explore the mechanism for the suppression of de novo HIV-1 transcription in resting
CD4+ T-cells.

Methods:
In this study, a short isoform of Per-1 expression plasmid was transfected into 293T cells
with or without Tat's presence to identify Per-1 as a negative regulator for HIV-1 transcription. Silencing
of Per-1 was conducted in resting CD4+ T-cells or monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs)
to evaluate the antiviral activity of Per-1. Additionally, we analyzed the correlation between Per-1
expression and viral loads in vivo, and silenced Per-1 by siRNA technology to investigate the potential
anti-HIV-1 roles of Per-1 in vivo in untreated HIV-1-infected individuals.

Results:
We found that short isoform Per-1 can restrict HIV-1 replication and Tat ameliorates this
inhibitory effect. Silencing of Per-1 could upregulate HIV-1 transcription both in resting CD4+ Tcells
and MDMs. Moreover, Per-1 expression is inversely correlated with viral loads in Rapid
progressors (RPs) in vivo.

Conclusion:
These data together suggest that Per-1 is a novel negative regulator of HIV-1 transcription.
This restrictive activity of Per-1 to HIV-1 replication may contribute to HIV-1 latency in resting
CD4+ T-cells.

Published: February 2019

Background:
Open access (OA) publishing is rapidly emerging in almost all disciplines,
with variable intensity and effect on the discipline itself. The move toward OA is also observed in the
field of respiratory and pulmonology, where both OA data repositories and OA journals are rapidly
emerging.

Objective:
we aim to study the open-access status of respiratory and pulmonology journals and the
impact of the open-access status on journal indices.

Methods:
We collected journal’s data from Scopus Source List on 1st of November 2018. We filtered
the list for respiratory and pulmonology journals. Open Access Journals covered by Scopus are
recognized as Open Access if the journal is listed in the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ)
and/or the Directory of Open Access Scholarly Resources (ROAD). For each journal, we used
several metrics to measure its strength, and then we compared these metrics between OA and non-
OA journals.

Results:
There were 125 respiratory and pulmonology journals, a number that has increased by
12.6% since 2011. Moreover, the percentage of OA journals has increased from 21.6% to 26.4%
during the same period. Non-OA journals have significantly higher scholarly output (p= 0.033), but
OA journals have significantly higher percentage of citation (p= 0.05).

Conclusion:
Publishing in OA journals will yield a higher citation percentage compared to non-OA
journals. Although this should not be the only reason to publish in an OA journal, it is still an
important factor to decide where to publish.
A New User-controlled and Efficient Encrypted Data Sharing Model in Cloud Storage
Authors: Wu Yuezhong , Chen Wei , Chen Shuhong , Wang Guojun , Li Changyun 
Published: February 2019

Background:
Cloud storage is generally used to provide on-demand services with sufficient
scalability in an efficient network environment, and various encryption algorithms are typically
applied to protect the data in the cloud. However, it is non-trivial to obtain the original data
after encryption and efficient methods are needed to access the original data.

Methods:
In this paper, we propose a new user-controlled and efficient encrypted data sharing
model in cloud storage. It preprocesses user data to ensure the confidentiality and integrity based
on triple encryption scheme of CP-ABE ciphertext access control mechanism and integrity verification.
Moreover, it adopts secondary screening program to achieve efficient ciphertext retrieval by
using distributed Lucene technology and fine-grained decision tree. In this way, when a trustworthy
third party is introduced, the security and reliability of data sharing can be guaranteed. To provide
data security and efficient retrieval, we also combine active user with active system.

Results:
Experimental results show that the proposed model can ensure data security in cloud storage
services platform as well as enhance the operational performance of data sharing.

Conclusion:
The proposed security sharing mechanism works well in an actual cloud storage environment.
Bridging with Tirofiban During Temporary Withdrawal of Oral Antiplatelets for Two Major Surgical Procedures in High Ischaemic Risk Patients
Authors: Vlachou Maria , Didagelos Matthaios , Kouparanis Antonios , Karvounis Haralambos , Ziakas Antonios 
Published: February 2019

Background:
Recent coronary stent implantation requires Dual Antiplatelet Therapy (DAPT) for at least 6 months. Serious issues are raised when non-cardiac surgery is required during this period, because of the balance between ischemic and haemorrhagic complications.

Case Reports:
We report 2 high ischemic risk cases requiring intermediate bleeding risk non-cardiac surgery, during the first month of DAPT initiation. Perioperative management with discontinuation of the P2Y12 inhibitor and bridging with tirofiban, while aspirin was uninterrupted, was uneventful.

Conclusion:
Bridging with intravenous glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor inhibitors may be a safe and effective alternative to P2Y12 inhibitor discontinuation in non-deferrable non-cardiac surgery.

at room temperature for a specified periods. The precipitated product was filtered and washed with
water to obtain 3-substituted-4-arylmethylideneisoxazol-5(4H)-ones. The reaction conditions were
also optimized and extended to synthesis other isoxazol-5(4H)-ones.

Results:
The salicylic acid is found to possess acceptable catalytic activity for the promotion of
three-component cyclocondensation of aryl/heteroaryl aldehydes, β-ketoesters, and hydroxylamine
hydrochloride. The three-component reaction led to construction of 3-substituted-4-arylmethylideneisoxazol-
5(4H)-ones in good to high isolated reaction yields.

Conclusion:
The efficient and environmental friendliness procedure for the synthesis of isoxazol-
5(4H)-ones is introduced. The reaction also carried out smoothly in water as a cost-effective, simple,
green, and non-toxic solvent at room temperature without using heating, microwave, and ultrasound
sources.
The influence of asphalt ageing on induction healing effect on porous asphalt concrete
Authors: Xu Shi , Liu Xueyan , Tabaković Amir , Schlangen Erik 
Published: February 2019

Induction healing is a proven technology which is able to improve the self-healing capacity of asphalt concrete. Healing is achieved via electromagnetic current produced by passing induction machine, where steel asphalt constituents heat up which in turn soften the bitumen in the asphalt layer, allowing it to flow and close cracks, repairing the damage. This paper reports on the study which investigated the influence of ageing on the healing capacity of Porous Asphalt (PA) concrete. Porous Asphalt concrete mix was prepared first, then subjected to an accelerated (laboratory) ageing process using a ventilated oven. In order to further evaluate the induction healing efficiency of asphalt concrete, Semi-circular bending (SCB) and healing cycles were performed on asphalt concrete specimens. The results show that with an increase of the ageing level of porous asphalt concrete, the induction healing efficiency decreases.
