Intelligent design for the animation interaction is very challenging and needs to be resolved on priority basis. If this design is based on smart learning based mechanism, then it will be more appropriate and effective. Therefore, based on the idea of process modeling, the concrete method is based on example modeling and parameterization, and the VC programming environment is the tool.

Methods: Eligible studies were identified through searches of Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Medline, and Wanfang database from inception up to 1 June 2021. Trial sequential analysis (TSA) was used in this meta-analysis.

The aim of this study was to examine this association among adolescents in East China. A school-based study that recruited 6902 adolescents aged 13 to 18 years was conducted in Suzhou, Hefei and Hangzhou.

In this study, we employed Bayesian network meta-analysis to identify the optimal psychosocial intervention approach for preventing depressive symptoms in children and adolescents.
Methods: We searched publication databases and conference abstracts, from time of their inception through April 2019 without language restriction, for randomized controlled trials that compared the efficacy of various psychosocial intervention approaches.

Background: The study aims to explore the risk factors for depressive symptoms among older Chinese adults.
Methods: PubMed, PsycINFO, Cochrane Library, EMbase, Google Scholar, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Chinese BioMedical Literature Database, and Wanfang data were searched for potentially relevant articles published before September 1, 2019. Stata/IC 15 was used to perform a meta-analysis and subgroup analysis to compute the pooled odds ratio.
Objective: To determine and compare the contributions of modifiable risk factors (RFs) with the prevention of dementia in older adults.
Design: A systematic review and Bayesian network meta-analysis (NMA). The observational group was set as a reference to collect all existing RFs and compare them with each other.
Background: A great number of studies have concentrated on the influence of socioeconomic status with health outcomes, but little on how socioeconomic status affects social relationship in adolescents' families, peers and schools. This study aimed to clarify more detailed information on the connection between social relationships and different dimensions of socioeconomic status.
Methods: A school-based cross-sectional study was performed by 13-18 adolescents enrolled in East China from September, 2018 to May, 2019, which recruited 6902 students from junior and senior high schools and used the stratified random sampling method.

Background: During adolescence, middle school students facing psychophysical changes are vulnerable to psychological problems. The present study aimed to investigate mental health status and associated school interpersonal relationships among adolescents in China, which may help to inform effective prevention strategies to reduce the prevalence of mental health problems.
Methods: In the cross-sectional study, a total of 10,131 middle school students were selected from three cities in eastern China by stratified random sampling.
Objective: To compare the effects of non-pharmacological therapies (NPTs) on improving the cognition of people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) by performing a Bayesian network meta-analysis (NMA).
Methods: We searched eight databases for potentially eligible studies. Physical exercise (PE), cognitive stimulation (CS), cognitive training (CT), cognitive rehabilitation (CR), musical therapy (MT) and multi-domain interventions (MI).
The existence of depression among children or adolescents can trigger a sequence of burdens on themselves, their families and even the whole society, which cause both physical and economic impacts. Our network meta-analysis (NMA) was aimed at comparing them with each other for evaluating the optimal psychosocial therapy to help children and adolescents with depression to improve their mental health. Based on several biomedical databases, a system of search strategies was conducted for searching randomized controlled trials (RCTs) which published from their inception on October, 1st 2018 without language restriction.

However, it is still unclear whether non-pharmacological therapies (NPTs) are effective or not and which treatment should be preferred. We applied a series of search strategies to identify eligible randomized controlled trials on 1st October, 2018, investigating the effects of NPTs of dementia in the older persons.

Aim: To determine the prevalence of dementia in the past two decades and provide updated estimates about older people (aged ≥60 years) with dementia in China from 2015 to 2050.
Methods: The English and Chinese databases were retrieved. Published epidemiology surveys of dementia from 1990-2018 were screened.
Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD), as the most common cause of dementia, brings huge economic burden for patients and social health care systems, which motivates researchers to study multiple protective factors, among which physical activity and exercise have been proven to be both effective and economically feasible.
Methods: A systematic literature search was performed for eligible studies published up to November 1st 2018 on three international databases (PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Embase) and two Chinese databases (Wanfang Data, China National Knowledge Infrastructure). All analyses were conducted using Stata 14.
It's widely acknowledged that, as a neurodegenerative aging disease representing an intermediate stage between cognitive intactness and Alzheimer's disease (AD), Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) poses an excessive burden on patients' well-being, family members, health-care providers as well as the whole society. This study focuses on three cognitive interventions proposed by Clare and Woods, which are, Cognitive stimulation (CS), Cognitive training (CT) and Cognitive rehabilitation (CR). Our Network meta-analysis (NMA) aims to compar them with one another to determine the optimal cognitive intervention for elderly adults with MCI in improving their cognitive function.

Design: Systematic review and Bayesian network meta-analysis.
Setting And Participants: An exhaustive literature search was conducted based on PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, PsycINFO, the China National Knowledge Infrastructure database, the Chinese Biomedical Literature database, the Wan Fang database, and Web of Science and other database and randomized controlled trials were identified from their inception to May 1, 2018.
Purpose: The increasing prevalence of Alzheimer's disease (AD) demands more effective drugs, which are still unclear. The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of six drugs, such as donepezil, rivastigmine, galantamine, memantine, huperzine-A, and tacrine, in senior AD patients and identify the most effective one to improve patients' cognitive function.
Methods: A system of search strategies was used to identify relevant studies including randomized controlled trials and clinical controlled trials evaluating the efficacy of six drugs in patients with AD.
This study performed an optimization of the fermentation conditions to activate the expression of the zunyimycin family biosynthesis genes of the zunyimycin-producing streptomycetes strain sp. FJS31-2. Bioassay-guided isolation and purification by varied chromatographic methods yielded two new compounds of the zunyimycin derivatives, namely, 31-2-7 and 31-2-8, accompanied with three known anthrabenzoxocinones family members of zunyimycin A, BE24566B, and chloroanthrabenzoxocinone.
