Language is an important semiotic system. The nature of interaction is the communication and exchanges of information.
Speech act refers to the fact that people use language to do something. Speech act theory originated with the British
philosopher John Austin. Researches on speech act start with the study on the functions of language in daily life. Until
now so many scholars conduct researches on the daily language based on speech act theory. With the development of
mass media, people tend to use Internet more and more frequently. As a result, the Internet becomes an important part in
people’s daily life. People use the Internet to learn, to socialize and to have fun. Media discourse is a complex system
which consists of diverse categories. Nowadays, WeChat as a kind of mass media is popular. This article will conduct a
research on the titles of articles in WeChat based on the speech act theory. Meanwhile, some feasible suggestions on how
to write a good title are put forward.

Background: Removal of endodontic infection is quite different from most other sites in the human body. Aim: To
investigate the antibacterial property of biodentine and mineral trioxide aggregate cement against Streptococcus and
Enterococcus. Methods: Antibacterial activity of Biodentine and mineral trioxide aggregate was evaluated by the agar
diffusion method against E. faecalis and S. mutans among sixty patients. The experimental materials included 50 mg
Biodentine and 50 mg mineral trioxide aggregate. The diameter of microbial inhibition zones around each well was
measured to the closest size in mm with a digital caliper. Results: Biodentine produced 3.02±0.27 mm inhibition zone
against Streptococcus mutans and Enterococcus faecalis within 24 hours. This difference between the S. mutans and E.
faecalis was not statistically significant. Sililarly Mineral trioxide aggregate produced 2.01±0.22 mm inhibition zone
against Streptococcus mutans and Enterococcus faecalis within 24 hours. Conclusion: Biodentine showed us
encouraging results against Streptococcus and Enterococcus compared to mineral trioxide aggregate by creating higher
inhibition zones.

In addition to subject matter skills, today’s college students need reasoning, problem-solving and thinking skills.
Therefore, faculty need to understand the importance of those skills for students and themselves. As U.S. faculty engage
in working with counterparts in foreign institutions to enhance curricula, teaching, and student learning, knowing more
about faculty critical thinking styles should lead to more relevant professional development in international university
settings. This project utilized the Critical Thinking Inventory (CTI) to ascertain the critical thinking styles of male and
female faculty at King Saud University in Saudi Arabia during five, six-hour intensive workshops on teaching and
learning. The CTI is a validated measure of CT style. The 20-item inventory was administered, and results were analyzed
for separate groups, male and female, which is common in the Kingdom. Higher CTI scores indicate a “seeking
information” style and lower scores indicate an “engagement” style. Female KSU faculty indicated on average a slight
tendency toward the seeking style. Individually, 14 of the 22 females indicated a seeking style and 8 indicated an
engaging style of critical thinking. On average, male KSU faculty indicated a slight tendency toward the engaging style,
with 21 of the 39 males indicating the engaging style and the remaining18 indicating the seeking critical thinking style.
As U.S. faculty engage in international programs, faculty Critical Thinking styles can be used to inform activities.
Administering the CTI to students would also provide insight into student learning needs. Likewise, a better
understanding of CT style for international faculty and students in the U.S. could enhance their teaching and learning.

Vyayam (exercise) has been an important part of the ayurvedic routine for thousands of years. Our Ancient Scholars have
given much emphasis on it because vyayam has much benefits on mind and body. Nowadays, people are suffering from
many diseases such as obesity, Diabetes mellitus, Cardiovascular disease, various joint diseases and diseases due to
ageing etc. The cause of these diseases is found to occur due to lack of proper exercise. Exercise in proper way, enhances
firmness, endurance in the body and increases ability to do work. It pacifies all three doshas and creates balance in them
when conducted as per prakriti (constitution),age of the person and season. Vata types need less exercise, so lighter
activities such as walking are best. Pitta types need moderate amounts such as swimming for example and Kapha types
need more intense exercise, such as jogging and aerobics, in order to stay in balance. Regarding season, if one wants to
increase exercise, winter and spring are the best times. In hot weather, one needs to decrease exertion and stay out of the
hot sun. As for age, children have more capacity for exercise and older people need less, although daily exercise is
essential at any age Exercise enhances the digestion, and if done properly, it dissolves impurities in the tissues. It
enhances immunity, eliminates fatigue, stops early aging, and retards weight gain and can thus improve one’s quality of
life.

Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is a demyelinating condition secondary to lytic infection of oligodendrocytes by JC papovavirus occurring in the context of immunodeficiency. Its aggravation after initiation of antiretroviral therapy is part of the immune restoration syndrome (IRS), often fatal if not adequately managed. We report a clinical observation highlighting the dual role of MRI on the one hand in the diagnosis of PML; allowing the discovery of an HIV infection in our case; and other parts in the follow-up of this pathology which can be complicated by a life-threatening IRS. Cerebral MRI is the main imaging medium for the presumptive diagnosis of PML. In MRI, MRI can be used to assess worsening of lesions by increasing their size as well as by the presence of a contrast enhancement after gadolinium injection indicating inflammation. Thus the use of cerebral MRI in a fragile field such as HIV should be performed periodically even in the absence of suggestive clinical signs, to ensure early diagnosis and adequate management and therefore a better prognosis

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is a major public health concern in sub-Saharan Africa. Opportunistic diseases cause substantial morbidity and mortality to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients. HIV-HBV co-infection is common we report the case of an association of cerebral toxoplasmosis with mediastinal lymph node tuberculosis in a patient with HIV-HBV co-infection. The diagnosis of this extra-pulmonary tuberculosis and cerebral toxoplasmosis was presumptive and was made probable by the test therapies that were effective. Concomitant treatment of these two opportunistic infections with antiretroviral therapy resulted in severe drug hepatitis that was probably favored by hepatitis B that HIV infection would have worsened. The choice of effective and less toxic antiretroviral triple therapy was difficult in the absence of recommendations for such combinations.

Although remarkable advances have been made in the detection and management of mood disorders over the last few decades, the increasing worldwide prevalence of depression continues to challenge researchers and clinicians alike. In spite of the availability of antidepressant drugs depression continue to be a major medical problem. Although there are many effective antidepressants available today, the current therapy is often inadequate with unsatisfactory results in about one third of all subjects treated. Various plants are being used in complementary and alternative medicines for management of mood disorders. The methanol stem-bark extract of Ficus vallis was investigated for antidepressant activity using the Forced Swim Test and Tail Suspension Test models. The locomotor activity was also evaluated using the Open Field Test so as to rule out possible psyco-stimulant activity. It was observed from our study that Ficus vallis methanol extract showed significant (p < 0.05) reduction in immobility at 200 and 400 mg/kg doses in the Tail Suspension Test. While in the Forced Swim Test there was a significant (p < 0.02) with the 400 mg/kg dose when compared with normal saline. The methanol stem-bark extract of Ficus vallis possesses antidepressant properties in mice with significant decrease in duration of immobility.

Traditionally, the orthodontist dealt with correcting malocclusions in growing patients however an increased awareness
among adult patients for dentofacial aesthetics has resulted in a huge demand for orthodontics in the adult population.
However, successful orthodontic treatment can be difficult when treating adult patients since dentoalveolar development
ceases after adolescence. Short treatment time is a constantly recurring request by many adult patients, hence clinicians
have searched for alternative methods to accelerate tooth movement. Therefore the aim of the present study was
evaluation of modified alveolar corticotomy-facilitated orthodontic treatment in adult patients with bimaxillary
protrusion. Three patients with the age range of 24-30 years having class I malocclusion with Bimaxillary protrusion
were included.
