    Abstract During the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of cases continued to rise. As a result, there was a growing demand for alternative control methods to traditional buttons or touch screens. However, most current gesture recognition technologies rely on machine vision methods. However, this method can lead to suboptimal recognition results, especially in situations where the camera is operating in low-light conditions or encounters complex backgrounds. This study introduces an innovative gesture recognition system for large movements that uses a combination of millimeter wave radar and a thermal imager, where the multi-color conversion algorithm is used to improve palm recognition on the thermal imager together with deep learning approaches to improve its accuracy. While the user performs gestures, the mmWave radar captures point cloud information, which is then analyzed through neural network model inference. It also integrates thermal imaging and palm recognition to effectively track and monitor hand movements on the screen. The results suggest that this combined method significantly improves accuracy, reaching a rate of over 80%.

    Abstract In theory, high key and high plaintext sensitivities are a must for a cryptosystem to resist the chosen/known plaintext and the differential attacks. High plaintext sensitivity can be achieved by ensuring that each encrypted result is plaintext-dependent. In this work, we make detailed cryptanalysis on a published chaotic map-based image encryption system, where the encryption process is plaintext Image dependent. We show that some designing flaws make the published cryptosystem vulnerable to chosen-plaintext attack, and we then proposed an enhanced algorithm to overcome those flaws.

    Abstract Abstract Background Kaposi sarcoma is a vascular tumor highly related to human herpesvirus-8 and Kaposi sarcoma–associated herpesvirus. Kaposi sarcoma usually manifests as skin or mucosal lesions; involvement in visceral organs such as the gastrointestinal tract is rare. Kaposi sarcoma can occur in immunocompromised patients receiving immunosuppressive therapy, in which case it is known as iatrogenic Kaposi sarcoma or drug-induced Kaposi sarcoma. Intestinal Kaposi sarcoma in patients with inflammatory bowel disease is extremely rare. Case presentation A 46-year-old East Asian male with recently diagnosed Crohn’s disease was administered azathioprine and prednisolone; however, the patient complained of persistent abdominal pain and diarrhea following treatment. Endoscopy revealed small bowel Kaposi sarcoma. The patient was treated with systemic chemotherapy successfully without relapse. Conclusions This is the fifth case of Kaposi sarcoma developed over the small intestine in a patient with Crohn’s disease following administration of immunomodulators. Additionally, this case indicated that even short-term immunomodulator use can induce Kaposi sarcoma in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. Thus, in patients with inflammatory bowel disease, if symptoms are aggravated or do not abate after immunomodulators prescription, and before intending to upgrade immunomodulators, endoscopy should be considered. Finally, chemotherapy can also be considered if both medication withdrawal and surgical intervention are not feasible.

    Abstract Academic research plays an important role in universities and higher education evaluation. A correlation between a researcher’s scope of collaboration and his/her research impact. That’s why collaboration becomes more and more popular. When discussing about research collaborations, we found that most of the related literatures were based on subjects or a field. Relative few studies have been done in Taiwan to explore the relationship between collaboration and scholarly performance at the university level. Furthermore, analyzing research collaborations of a whole university provides invaluable inpust into the strategic planning of a university. Therefore, we represent collaboration in academic papers of Web of science (WoS) in the last two decades and analyze publication of National Taiwan Normal University by applying several bibliometric and SNA techniques.

    Abstract Acute ischemic stroke causes a high rate of deaths and permanent neurological deficits in survivors. Current interventional treatment, in the form of enzymatic thrombolysis, benefits only a small percentage of patients. Brain ischemia triggers mobilization of innate immunity, specifically the complement system and Toll-like receptors (TLRs), ultimately leading to an exaggerated inflammatory response. Here we demonstrate that intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG), a scavenger of potentially harmful complement fragments, and C1-esterase inhibitor (C1-INH), an inhibitor of complement activation, exert a beneficial effect on the outcome of experimental brain ischemia (I) and reperfusion (R) injury induced by transient occlusion of middle cerebral artery in mice. Both IVIG and C1-INH significantly and in a dose-responsive manner reduced brain infarction size, neurological deficit and mortality when administered to male mice 30 min before ischemia or up to 6 h after the onset of reperfusion. When combined, suboptimal doses of IVIG and C1-INH potentiated each other's neuroprotective therapeutic effects. Complement C3 and TLR2 signals were colocalized and significantly greater in brain cells adjacent to infracted brain lesions when compared to the corresponding regions of the contralateral hemisphere and to control (sham) mice. Treatment with IVIG and C1-INH effectively reduced deposition of C3b and downregulated excessive TLR2 and p-JNK1 expression at the site of I/R injury. Taken together, these results provide a rationale for potential use of IVIG and C1-INH, alone or in combination with ischemic stroke and other neurological conditions that involve inappropriately activated components of the innate immune system.

    Abstract γ-Secretase is a distinct proteolytic complex required for the activation of many transmembrane proteins. The cleavage of substrates by γ-secretase plays diverse biological roles in producing essential products for the organism. More than 90 transmembrane proteins have been reported to be substrates of γ-secretase. Two of the most widely known and studied of these substrates are the amyloid precursor protein (APP) and the Notch receptor, which are precursors for the generation of amyloid-β (Aβ) and the Notch intracellular domain (NICD), respectively. The wide spectrum of γ-secretase substrates has made analyses of the pathology of γ-secretase-related diseases and underlying mechanisms challenging. Inflammation is an important aspect of disease pathology that requires an in-depth analysis. γ-Secretase may contribute to disease development or progression by directly increasing and regulating production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. This review summarizes recent evidence for a role of γ-secretase in inflammatory diseases, and discusses the potential use of γ-secretase inhibitors as an effective future treatment option.
