Event related potential generated and developed in 1990's,which provides an objective and feasible approach to describe mental activities and evaluate cognitive function.It has become a study focus of mentalics,neurology,gerontology and psychology.Event related potential plays an important role in clinically evaluating and identifying various cognitive disorders.This paper summarized clinical application of event related potential P300.

Objective:To study the genotyping characteristics of Brucella strains isolated from Lianyungang City (non-brucellosis epidemic area) of Jiangsu Province. Methods:Preliminary identification of 13 suspected strains of Brucella isolated from blood culture in Clinical Microbiology Laboratory of the First People's Hospital of Lianyungang City in 2018 was conducted; at the same time, the specific gene bcsp31 and insertion sequence IS-711 of Brucella were detected by quantitative real-time PCR (Real-time PCR), and the identification results were rechecked and typed. Multiple locus variable-number tandem repeat analysis (MLVA) was applied for genotyping, and the sequencing results were edited by Mega 4.0 software. Results:All the 13 strains were identified as Brucella by preliminary identification. Real-time PCR confirmed that all the 13 strains were Brucella melitensis. The results of MLVA showed that 13 strains of Brucella melitensis were divided into 12 genotypes and clustered in the "middle Mediterranean cluster". Among 13 strains of Brucella melitensis, 3 strains were biovar 1, 2 strains were biovar 2 and 8 strains were biovar 3. Conclusion:All the Brucella strains isolated from Lianyungang City are Brucella melitensis and the MLVA cluster is in the "middle Mediterranean cluster".
