Abstract： Background Lifestyle is an important modifiable risk factor for dementia. Knowledge and beliefs are important factors affecting lifestyle. However，there is a lack of research on the types of knowledge，beliefs，behaviors of reducing dementia risk，and it remains unclear whether there are differences in dementia risk and cognitive function among residents with different types of knowledge，belief，and behavior. Objective To understand the current situation of knowledge，beliefs ，behaviors of reducing dementia risk in the middle-aged and elderly adults in the community，explore and analyze the types of knowledge，beliefs and behaviors and the differences of cognitive function，and provide a basis for the development of targeted dementia prevention measures in the community. Methods From March 2021 to February 2022，middle-aged and elderly adults who participated in free health checkups at community health centers and established health management files in five communities in Shapingba District of Chongqing were selected as the survey objects by convenience sampling method. The general information questionnaire，Dementia Knowledge Assessment Scale （DKAS），Motivation to Change Lifestyle and Health Behaviors for Dementia Risk Reduction （MCLHB-DRR），Lifestyle for Dementia Risk Reduction Scale （LDRRS），Beijing version of Montreal Cognitive Assessment（MoCA） and Cardiovascular Risk Factors，Aging and Dementia（CAIDE） scores were used for the investigation. K-means cluster analysis was used to classify the knowledge，beliefs ，behaviors of reducing dementia risk of residents，and the differences in demographic characteristics，cognitive function and dementia risk among different types were compared and analyzed. Results A total of 232 questionnaires distributed and 211 valid questionnaires were recovered，with an effective recovery rate of 90.9%. The cluster analysis results showed that the knowledge，beliefs and behaviors of reducing dementia risk of the middle-aged and elderly adults in the community could be divided into three types of good knowledge，beliefs and behaviors type，low knowledge-poor behaviors type，low beliefs-poor behaviors type，which accounted for 39.8% （84/211），37.4% （79/211），and 22.7% （48/211），respectively. The average years of education of middle-aged and elderly residents in good knowledge，beliefs and behaviors type were significantly higher than those in low knowledge-poor behaviors type （t=2.703，P<0.001），and low beliefs-poor behaviors type （t=1.524，P=0.022）. The CAIDE scores of residents in low knowledge-poor behaviors type and low beliefs-poor behaviors type were significantly higher than those in good knowledge，beliefs and behaviors type（t=1.431，P<0.001），（t=1.080，P=0.002）. The MoCA scores of residents in low knowledge-poor behaviors type were lower than those in good knowledge，beliefs and behaviors type and low beliefs-poor behaviors type （t=-2.529，P<0.001），（t=-1.869，P=0.018）. Conclusion The knowledge，beliefs ，behaviors of reducing dementia risk of the middle-aged and elderly adults in the community could be divided into three types of good knowledge，beliefs and behaviors type，low knowledge#2;poor behaviors type，low beliefs-poor behaviors type，and there are significant differences in years of education，dementia risk and cognitive function scores among different types. Developing targeted dementia prevention measures based on the characteristics of different types of knowledge，beliefs ，behaviors of reducing dementia risk，may be effective in reducing the risk of dementia and maintaining or slowing cognitive decline.

Abstract： In order to identify the pathogens that caused tuber rot in Bletilla striata and study the inhibiting effects of herbal extracts on pathogens, the pathogens that caused tuber rot of Bletilla striata were isolated using usual tissue isolation. Morphological and molecular biological techniques were used to identify the strains. And seven herbal extracts were used to study the inhibiting effects on the pathogen. The results were as follows:（1） A total of 14 fungi and 4 bacteria were isolated from diseased leaves, leaf sheaths and tubers. But only strain GF-1 caused disease, whose symptoms consistent with those in the field. The incidences of GF-1 disease reinoculated in the field and laboratory were 100％, respectively. （2）GF-1 was identified as a memmber of Epicoccum, and its colonial morphology is a circular form, with white mycelium, prostrate on the medium, aerial, diaphragms and branches. There are conidia and chlamydospores. （3）At last, the sequence of internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of GF-1 were analyzed, the length was 522 bp. The sequence was compared with other species in the GenBank and reached 99.62% similarity to E. sorghinum (MN493119.1) isolated form Sorghum, which was closer than others, including E. sorghinum (MF948994.1) isolated form leaves of B. striata. （4）GF-1 could be fully inhibited when the medium contained 0.1- 0.2 g·mL-1 extracts that extracted from 7 Chinese herbal, respectively. And it also could be fully inhibited by 0.05 g·mL-1 of C. cassia or Syringa oblate. In summary, the pathogen that caused tuber rot in Bletilla striata was identified as E. sorghinum. And GF-1 could be fully inhibited cultivated on the medium which contained 0.1- 0.2 g·mL-1 herbal extracts, e.g.: C. cassia, S. oblate, Cyclocarya paliurus, B. striata, Houpoea officinalis, Illicium verum or Cnidium monnieri.
