To investigate the distribution of virulence associated factors of 5 strains of Streptococcus suis type 2 from slaughtered pigs isolated in Fujian province , 7 virulence genes were detected through PCR amplification. They were the glutamate dehydrogenase gene(gdh), the capsular polysaccharides gene(cps), the extracellular factor gene(ef), the muramidate-released protein gene(mrp), the suilysin gene(sly), the fibronectin-binding protein gene(fbps) and the virulence-associated sequence or f2. Among these 5 strains isolated, the virulence genotypes of 4 strains S.suis type 2 and strain SS2PFJ07 was gdh+/cps2J+/mrp+/ef-/sly-/fbps+/orf2+ and the other one strain isolated from slaughtered pigs was gdh+/cps2J+/mrp+/ef+/sly+/fbps+ /orf2+ respectively. This results showed that there are at least 2 virulence genotypes in Streptococcus suis type 2 from slaughtered pigs isolated in Fujian province.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between bedtime procrastination and daytime sleepiness in college students,and to explore the mediating effect of sleep quality and the moderating effect of gender in the a-bove-mentioned relationship.Methods:A total of 2 823 college students(808 males,2 015 females)from two uni-versities were selected.They were assessed with the Bedtime Procrastination Scale(BPS),Epworth Sleeping Scale(ESS,ESS score≥11 indicated daytime sleepiness)and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index(PSQI).Process model 4 was used to test the mediating effect of sleep quality and model 14 was used to test the moderating effect of gender.Results:There were 1 214(43.0%)college students suffering from daytime sleepiness.The scores of ESS in college students were positively associated with the BPS scores(β=0.16).The total scores of PSQI partially mediated the effect of BPS scores on college students'ESS scores,and the value of mediating effect was 39.9%.The association between PSQI scores and ESS scores was moderated by gender(β=-0.13).Conclusion:Daytime sleepiness is associated with bedtime procrastination and sleep quality in college students,and the association be-tween sleep quality and daytime sleepiness is moderated by gender.
