The present study used the experimental patterns of Go/No Go and no motion contingent negative variation (CNV) task into the research in order to study whether the CNV can express the implication of expectation. Through comparing the CNV under different conditions, the data collected from experiment showed that the key to evoked CNV was close to the warning signal and command signal. Whether the command signal was related to the task would impact on the amplitude of the CNV. This characteristics responses to the subjects' expectation. On this basis, CNV can be used as the electrophysiological index for the reflection of expected value in the conditions of this experiment.

Objective:To investigate the effects of deguelin on the viability and apoptosis of Neuro-2A ( N2A) cells. Methods:The cell viability of N2A cells with the density of 5 × 104 ·ml-1 on the time points of 6, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours after 1 × 10 -8 mol ·L-1 deguelin treatment using CCK-8 kits was determined, and that on the time point of 48 hours after 0, 1 × 10 -11 , 1 × 10 -10 , 1 × 10 -9 , 1 × 10 -8 , 1 × 10 -7 , 1 × 10 -6 or 5 × 10 -4 mol·L-1 deguelin treatment was also detected. The activity of caspase 3 was deter-mined in N2A cells treated by 2 × 10 -8 mol·L-1 deguelin for 24 hours. Results:N2A cells with the density of 5 × 104 ·ml-1 reached the peak level in the growth curve 48 hours after the incubation in DMEM medium with 10% fetal bovine serum. The cell viability of N2A cells was decreased after the treatment of 1 × 10 -8 mol·L-1 deguelin for 24-72 hours in a time-dependant manner or after the treatment of 1 × 10 -8 ~1 × 10 -6 mol·L-1 deguelin for 48 hours in a dose-dependant manner (P<0. 05) with IC50 of 1. 6 × 10 -8 mol ·L-1 . The activity of caspase 3 was increased after the treatment of 2 × 10 -8 mol·L-1 deguelin for 24 hours, which was 5. 6-fold of that in the control group. Conclusion: Cell viability of N2A cells is inhibited by deguelin in a time- and dose-dependent manner, which may be related to the activity increase of caspase 3.

Objective To investigate the antibiotic resistance, virulence genes, and sequence types of Enterococcus faecium ( E. faecium) strains isolated from children under 3 years old in Sui county, Henan province. Methods Kirby-Bauer antibiotic testing was performed to analyze the antibiotic sensitivi-ties of E. faecium strains to 15 common antibiotics. PCR analysis was used to detect the virulence genes car-ried by the E. faecium strains. Multilocus sequence typing ( MLST) was performed for the typing of E. faeci-um strains. Results Forty-seven E. faecium strains were isolated from 120 stool samples collected from chil-dren under 3 years old in Sui county, Henan province, of which 95. 7% were antibiotic-resistant strains. Most of the isolated E. faecium strains were resistant to rifampicin, accounting for 91. 5% (43/47) of all isolates, followed by those resistant to erythromycin and tetracycline, which accounted for 68. 1% (32/47). Moreover, high resistance rates to those antibiotics commonly used in clinical treatments of E. faecium infec-tion including β-lactam and aminoglycosides antibiotics were observed. Those strains resistant to more than three kinds of antibiotics belonged to the same clonal complex including 12 strains of clonal complex 17 ( CC17) harboring the virulence gene of hyl. All of the isolated E. faecium strains were susceptible to vanco-mycin, linezolid, chloromycetin and nitrofurantoin. Conclusion The E. faecium strains isolated from chil-dren under 3 years old in Sui county, Henan province were multi-antibiotic resistant. There were drug-resist-ance strains belonging to the CC17 and carrying the virulence gene of hyl.
