Objective:To investigate the self-perceived cognitive decline status in the community population,and to explore the association between different dietary habits and self-perceived cognitive decline.Methods:A cross-sectional study was carried out in 11 879 community residents in the three regions of Weifang,Jining,and Zoucheng in Shandong Province.The Ascertain Dementia-8 and dietary habits information questionnaire were used to assess self-perceived cognitive decline and dietary habits,and their association were analyzed using single factor and multivariate logistic regression.Results:The detection rate of self-perceived cognitive decline was 21.4%.Lo-gistic regression showed that smoking in the past was positively associated with self-perceived cognitive decline(OR=1.40,95%CI:1.14-1.73).However,intake of fruits(often,OR=0.70,95%CI:0.52-0.94;everyday,OR=0.60,95%CI:0.44-0.81),nuts(daily,OR=0.62,95%CI:0.44-0.88),mushrooms(often,OR=0.74,95%CI:0.57-0.92)and high tryptophan foods(sometimes,OR=0.79,95%CI:0.68-0.91;everyday,OR=0.54,95%CI:0.34-0.87)were negatively associated with self-perceived cognitive decline.Conclusion:Smoking history might be a risk factor for self-perceived cognitive decline,and high frequency intake of fruits,nuts,mush-rooms,and high tryptophan foods might protective factors for it.

The development and validation of clinical prediction models based on artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning methods have become increasingly widespread. However, the prediction model bias risk and applicability evaluation tool developed in 2019 (i.e., PROBAST-2019) has shown significant limitations. Therefore, an expanded and updated version of the PROBAST-2019 tool was released in 2025, known as the PROBAST+AI tool. The tool is divided into two parts including model development and model evaluation. It aims to comprehensively and systematically evaluate potential methodological quality issues in model development, bias risks in model evaluation, and the applicability of models, regardless of the modeling method used. This paper provides a systematic interpretation of the PROBAST+AI tool's items and case analyses, with the aim of guiding and assisting researchers engaged in related studies and promoting the high-quality development of clinical predictive model research.

Objective:To explore the association between perceived social support,TMEM161B gene rs768705 polymorphism,and their interaction with incidence of depressive symptoms in the freshmen.Methods:A total of 9928 freshmen from two medical universities were investigated at baseline and follow-up two years later during 2018-2020 by cluster sampling.A self-report demographic characteristics questionnaire was used to collect information of general demographic characteristics.Perceived Social Support Scale,Beck Depression Inventory,Beck Anxiety Inventory and Adolescent Self-Rating Life Events Check List were used to measure the level of perceived social support,depressive symptoms,anxiety symptoms and the number of negative life events of individuals.Blood sam-ples were collected and typed for DNA by professionals.Results:Family support and other support were all nega-tively associated with depressive symptoms in the freshmen(OR=0.96,95%CI:0.93-0.99;OR=0.94,95%CI:0.91-0.98).There was no correlation between friend support and depressive symptoms in the freshmen(OR=0.99,95%CI:0.95-1.02).TMEM161B gene rs768705 polymorphism(AG)was positively associated with de-pressive symptoms in the freshmen(OR=1.58,95%CI:1.12-2.23).The interactions of friend support with TMEM161B gene rs768705 polymorphism(AG)(OR=1.13,95%CI:1.02-1.26)and other support with TMEM161B gene rs768705 polymorphism(AG)(OR=1.13,95%CI:1.02-1.25)had significant effects on the incidence of depressive symptoms in the females and no significant effect in the males.Conclusion:The perceived social support,TMEM161B gene rs768705 polymorphism and their interaction are associated with influence of de-pressive symptoms,and have sex difference in the freshmen.

Objective:Analyzing the relationship between negative life events and depressive symptoms in university freshmen,and the mediating effects of neuroticism and the moderating role of exercise frequency.Meth-ods:A sampling of 8 079 university freshmen,and the Patient Health Questionnaire was used to assess depressive symptoms,the Eysenck Personality Inventory-Neuroticism subscale to assess neuroticism,the self-administered questionnaire to assess the number of negative life events that the participants had experienced and the exercise fre-quency.Model 4 in the Process plug-in was used to test the mediating effect of neuroticism,and Model 7 to test the moderating role of exercise frequency.Results:The numbers of negative life events were positively correlated with the depressive symptoms scores(r=0.16,P<0.01),and were positively correlated with the neuroticism scores(r=0.26,P<0.01).The neuroticism scores were positively correlated with the depressive symptoms scores(r=0.52,P<0.01).Neuroticism score partially mediated between negative life events and depressive symptoms score,with a mediating effect of 78.4%,and exercise frequency score moderated between negative life events and neuroti-cism scores(β=-0.05,P=0.032).Conclusion:Negative life events are associated with depressive symptoms,neuroticism plays a mediating role,and exercise frequency could moderate negative life events and neuroticism.

Objective To compare the effects of two head holders on the setup errors during head and neck neoplasms radiotherapy.Methods Totally 30 patients were divided into groups A and B randomly and equally.Group A applied TypeSTM Extension for setup,and group B used Type-S Overlay Board,with thermoplastic film applied to fixation.Varian23IX image guided linear accelerator was involved in the therapy,and the patients underwent CBCT-guided therapy once a week in 6 weeks.The setup errors at left-right,head-foot and anterior-posterior directions were obtained by bone registration and manual checking.Results The absolute setup error at anterior-posterior direction of group A,was (2.31 ± 1.35) mm,which was significantly higher than (1.88±1.79) mm of group B (P=0.032).There were no obvious differences between the setup errors of group A and those of group B (P>0.05),and the weekly absolute errors of group A were not statistically different from those of group B (P>0.05).Conclusion There are no significant differences between the effects of the two head holders on the setup errors during head and neck neoplasms radiotherapy,and proper head holder can be selected according to clinical requirements.
