Objective:To compare the prediction efficiency of traditional linear regression model and four machine learning models on the learning behavior of clinical medical postgraduates, and to explore the pros and cons and applicability of different prediction models.Methods:A total of 6,922 clinical medical postgraduates were surveyed, their comprehensive learning behavior scores were obtained through the learning behavior scale. In the training set, Lasso linear regression and artificial neural network, decision tree, Bootstrap random forest, and lifting tree were used to build prediction models respectively. The above models were used to predict the validation set data and compare the prediction efficiency.Results:The comprehensive learning behavior score of clinical medical postgraduates was (3.31±0.54) points, and the overall compliance rate was 74.02%. In the linear regression model, the influence of age, school level, degree type, learning interest, pressure and satisfaction on learning behavior were statistically significant. In the prediction of validation set, the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of the linear regression model were 0.484, 0.914, and 0.801, respectively. The indexes of the four machine learning models were higher than those of the traditional linear regression model, and the Bootstrap random forest had the highest elevation.Conclusion:The linear regression model has a good prediction effect on learning behavior, and machine learning is superior to linear regression model in terms of accuracy of prediction. However, traditional linear regression models are superior to machine learning models in computational efficiency and interpretability.

Objective In this study,we explored the role of combination of autophagy inhibition and anti-VEGF in proliferation,migration and tube formation of mouse retinal vascular endothelial cells(RVECs). Methods Well cultured mouse RVECs were randomly divided into four groups:autophagy inhibition group(add-ing autophagy inhibitor 3-MA),anti-VEGF group(adding anti-VEGF-A neutralized antibody),autophagy inhibi-tion+anti-VEGF group(adding the two reagents)and the control group.All cells were then cultured in the hypoxic condition. The cell proliferation,migration and tube formation were detected by EdU,transwell and matrigel as-say,respectively. Results The cell proliferation rate,number of migrated cells and number of tube formation of the other three groups decreased when compared with the control group.These data above in autophagy inhibition+anti-VEGF group were all significantly less than 3-MA group and anti-VEGF group. Conclusion Combination of autophagy inhibition and anti-VEGF may be more effective than simple anti-VEGF in inhibition of retinal neovascu-larization.
