Objective:
To explore the influencing factors of role adaptation of college freshmen, so as to provide empirical support for developing adaptive education in college.
Methods:
A cluster sampling method was used to select 3 126 freshmen from six universities of Hefei City and Wuhu City in Anhui Province in October 2022, who were investigated with Positive Psychological Capital Questionnaire (PPQ), Freshmen s Role Adaptability Scale, Connor Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) and Life Satisfaction Scale. Independent sample t-test and oneway ANOVA were used to compare the scores (caverage score of items) of various variables of college freshmen with different demographic characteristics. Pearson correlation analysis and multiple linear regression analysis were conducted to analyze the correlation.
Results:
There were statistically significant differences in scores of psychological capital, resilience, life satisfaction and role adaptation among college freshmen of different origin (large and mediumsized cities: 3.63± 0.54,3.73±0.64,3.47±0.80,3.14±0.65;county level city or county seat:3.57±0.52,3.61±0.63,3.35±0.75,3.09±0.63;villages and towns:3.50±0.50,3.54±0.58,3.23±0.75,3.06±0.60), whether in class committee (yes:3.63±0.52,3.69±0.60,3.40± 0.76 ,3.18±0.59; no:3.43±0.50,3.48±0.64,3.25±0.77,2.93±0.65), father s education level (junior high school or below:3.52± 0.51 ,3.57±0.61,3.27±0.75,3.07±0.61; senior high school or technical secondary school:3.62±0.53,3.68±0.63,3.44±0.78,3.12±0.63;junior college or above:3.68±0.56,3.78±0.64,3.57±0.80,3.19±0.68),mother s education level(junior high school or below:3.53±0.51,3.58±0.61,3.28±0.75,3.06±0.60;senior high school or technical secondary school:3.63±0.55,3.70±0.63,3.48±0.78,3.15±0.66;junior college or above:3.72±0.54,3.86±0.65,3.62±0.83,3.27±0.70) ( F / t =11.89,21.89,23.02,3.83;10.08,9.20, 5.20 ,10.63;19.34,20.76,29.52,6.44;22.51,26.79,30.94,13.92, P <0.05). The differences of scores in resilience and role adaptation of different genders (boys:3.66±0.64, 3.12±0.65; girls:3.56±0.59, 3.05±0.58) and in life satisfaction whether being an only child (yes:3.40±0.79; no:3.33±0.76) among college freshmen were statistically significant ( t =4.51, 2.75, 2.35, P <0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that psychological capital, resilience and life satisfaction of college freshmen were positively correlated with role adaptation ( r =0.49, 0.49, 0.36), while psychological capital, resilience and role adaptation were positively correlated ( r =0.60, 0.59) and Psychological capital was positively correlated with resistance ( r =0.81)( P <0.01). The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that gender, whether in class committee, psychological capital, resilience and life satisfaction were positively associated with role adaptation among college freshmen ( R 2=0.28, β =0.04, 0.10, 0.23, 0.26, 0.07, P <0.05).
Conclusions
Role adaptation of college freshmen is related with psychological capital, resilience and life satisfaction. Schools should strengthen mental health education to promote smooth role transition for college freshmen.

The accumulation and spread of prion-like proteins is a key feature of neurodegenerative diseases (NDs) such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, or Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. In a process known as 'seeding', prion-like proteins such as amyloid beta, microtubule-associated protein tau, α-synuclein, silence superoxide dismutase 1, or transactive response DNA-binding protein 43 kDa, propagate their misfolded conformations by transforming their respective soluble monomers into fibrils. Cellular and molecular evidence of prion-like propagation in NDs, the clinical relevance of their 'seeding' capacities, and their levels of contribution towards disease progression have been intensively studied over recent years. This review unpacks the cyclic prion-like propagation in cells including factors of aggregate internalization, endo-lysosomal leaking, aggregate degradation, and secretion. Debates on the importance of the role of prion-like protein aggregates in NDs, whether causal or consequent, are also discussed. Applications lead to a greater understanding of ND pathogenesis and increased potential for therapeutic strategies.

The control group received traditional teaching with AR technology about the anatomy of the cerebral arterial circle, its composition, and adjacent structures. The research group was given AR-assisted teaching combined with TCD-based demonstration and interpretation. At the end of internship, the assessment scores, satisfaction with teaching, clinical decision-making ability, self-learning ability, and problem-solving ability were compared between the two groups. SPSS 23.0 was used to perform the non-parametric test, t test, and chi-square test. Results:The theoretical, practical, and comprehensive ability assessment scores of the research group [90 (89, 96), 95 (90, 96), and 93 (90, 96), respectively] were significantly higher than those of the control group [89 (87, 91), 90 (89, 92), and 91 (89, 94), respectively]. In terms of satisfaction with teaching effects, teaching methods, teaching content, and teaching style, the scores of the research group [16 (15, 18), (5.98±0.91), (3.38±0.52), and 13 (11, 14), respectively] were significantly higher than those of the control group [14 (13, 16), (4.23±0.65), (2.37±0.36), and 13 (10, 14 ), respectively]. The research group showed significantly better independent learning abilities than the control group in information seeking [(4.66±0.71) vs. (4.00±0.61)] and solution seeking [(4.43±0.68) vs. (4.41±0.67)], with no significant differences in the other dimensions between the two groups. The research group was significantly superior to the control group in all problem-solving dimensions: positive orientation [12 (10, 12) vs. 10 (9, 11)], rationality [26 (23, 28) vs. 21 (21, 24)], negative orientation [15 (13, 20) vs. 20 (17, 20)], avoidance style [17 (15, 18) vs. 19 (17, 20)], and impulsivity/neglect style [16 (15, 18) vs. 18 (16, 20)]. For rounds assessment, the research group showed significantly higher scores than the control group in all the items except " communication with patients" [(9.21±0.39) vs. (9.04±0.53)] and "patient satisfaction with nursing students" [(8.92±0.53) vs. (8.73±0.56)].Conclusions:The teaching method based on AR combined with TCD can improve nursing students' knowledge of cerebrovascular diseases, clinical nursing ability, and satisfaction with teaching.

The combination of artificial intelligence and TCM and the bulk replication and promotion of the famous doctor treatment model will help solve the problem of scarce quality medical resources in TCM. The elements of syndromes are derived from the decomposition of syndromes, which is a representation of the etiology and pathogenesis of syndromes. On the one hand, it helps to reduce the dimensionality of the TCM data consistent with the symptoms, facilitating the standardisation of the data, and on the other hand, it supports flexible combinations by order, helping to guide the use of prescriptions in a targeted manner. The elements of syndromes have the characteristics of being superimposable and combinable in multiple dimensions such as etiology, disease nature and disease situation, and are suitable for mathematical calculations, which can transform the complex multi-dimensional treatment process of TCM into an artificial intelligence calculation process. This study provided an in-depth analysis of the reasons limiting the deep integration of TCM and artificial intelligence, and designs a TCM artificial intelligence-assisted diagnosis and treatment system for coronary artery disease based on the respective characteristics of the elements of syndromes and TCM to bridge the two fields of TCM and artificial intelligence, with a view to providing a reference for a breakthrough in the deep integration of TCM and artificial intelligence.

Objective:Utilizing multi-criterion optimization (MCO) technology to improve plan design quality based on knowledge-based planning (KBP) model.Methods:Fifty-five patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) who had completed radiotherapy were selected, and fixed-field intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) technology was used in each case. Among them, 40 cases were randomly selected as training set 1. Then, IMRT plans in training set 1 were preprocessed by MCO technology to construct a new training set 2. With the initial training set 1 and the processed training set 2 as training samples, the traditional KBP model and the MCO-KBP model refined by MCO technology were trained, respectively. Among the remaining 15 cases, 5 cases were randomly selected as the validation set, and the remaining 10 cases were used as the test set. After verification, the test set was used to statistically analyze the plan quality of the initial manual plan and the automatic plan generated by the traditional KBP model and the MCO-KBP model.Results:The target dose (D 95%) of plans generated by the traditional KBP model and the MCO-KBP model met the clinical requirements. Conformity index (CI) and homogeneity index (HI) were almost the same ( P>0.05), and the doses of organ at risk (OAR) of the automatic plans generated by the MCO-KBP model were lower than those of the traditional KBP model. For example, compared with the traditional KBP model, the average D max of the brainstem in the automatic plans generated by the MCO-KBP model was lower by 2.13 Gy, the average D mean of the left parotid gland was lower by 1.39 Gy, the average D mean of the right parotid gland was lower by 1.59 Gy, and the average D max of the left optic nerve was lower by 1.42 Gy, the average D max of the right optic nerve was lower by 1.16 Gy, and the average D max of the pituitary gland was lower by 1.88 Gy. All of the above-mentioned dosimetry indexes were statistically significant. Conclusion:Compared with the traditional KBP model, the IMRT plans designed by the refined MCO-KBP model have obvious advantages in the protection of OAR, which proves the feasibility of utilizing MCO technology to improve the plan design quality of the KBP model.
