Objective Frontal resting EEG asymmetry was used to evaluate the gender effect of emotion regulation.Methods The resting EEG was recorded in 30 healthy volunteers (19-26 years old) by the guide 40 amplifier,and off-line analysis on EEG data were conducted by scan4.3 software.The statistical analysis were performed using SPSS 17.0.Results In normal human,frontal resting EEG alpha power was statistically significant(F=4.918,P =0.035).Asymmetry and gender interaction group (F =0.668,P =0.421),electrode point and gender interaction group (F =0.283,P =0.756),electrode point and asymmetry interaction group (F =1.418,P =0.260),electrode point,asymmetry and gender interaction group (F =1.164,P =0.327) had no statistical significance (P > 0.05).The comparison of male and female asymmetry degree of each electrode point (F4/F3 group t =0.465,F8/F7 groupt=0.809,FP2/FP1 group t=1.542) had no statistical significance (P>0.05).Conclusion Normal human brain hemispheres exist asymmetry.The asymmetry does not exists gender effect.In non-task state,frontal resting EEG alpha power asymmetry can not be recognized as the indicator of emotion regulation ability.

Objective To explore pre-attentive information processing in undergraduate students with major depressive disorder(MDD) indexed by auditory mismatch negativity (MMN) and provide scientific theory basis for the diagnosis of MDD.Methods In the deviant-standard reverse oddball paradigm with deviant stimulus presentation probability of 20%,duration auditory MMN was obtained in 17 MDD university students and 17 gender-/age-matched healthy undergraduate students.All data were analyzed by statistics means of repeated measurement of F test.Results The amplitudes of 150 ms MMN over the frontal-central area were smaller in MDD undergraduate students((-0.34± 1.24) μV) than those in healthy undergraduate students ((-1.07± 1.55) μV,F=24.318,P=0.000).The 50 ms MMN did not differ between MDD students ((-1.96± 1.14) μV) and healthy undergraduate students ((-1.23 ± 1.97) μV,F =0.089,P =0.767).Conclusion Pre-attentive auditory information processing is impaired in MDD undergraduate students.

Background:
Listeria monocytogenes is a gram-positive bacterium that causes listeriosis mainly in immunocompromised hosts. It can also cause foodborne outbreaks and has the ability to adapt to various environments. Peptide uptake in gram-positive bacteria is enabled by oligopeptide permeases (Opp) in a process that depends on ATP hydrolysis by OppD and F.Previously a putative protein Lmo2193 was predicted to be OppD, but little is known about the role of OppD in major processes of L. monocytogenes, such as growth, virulence, and biofilm formation.
Objectives:
To determine whether the virulence traits of L. monocytogenes are related to OppD.
Methods:
In this study, Lmo2193 gene deletion and complementation strains of L. monocytogenes were generated and compared with a wild-type strain for the following: adhesiveness, invasion ability, intracellular survival, proliferation, 50% lethal dose (LD50) to mice, and the amount bacteria in the mouse liver, spleen, and brain.
Results:
The results showed that virulence of the deletion strain was 1.34 and 0.5 orders of magnitude higher than that of the wild-type and complementation strains, respectively.The function of Lmo2193 was predicted and verified as OppD from the ATPase superfamily.Deletion of lmo2193 affected the normal growth of L. monocytogenes, reduced its virulence in cells and mice, and affected its ability to form biofilms.
Conclusions
Deletion of the oligopeptide transporter Lmo2193 decreases the virulence of L. monocytogenes. These effects may be related to OppD's function, which provides a new perspective on the regulation of oligopeptide transporters in L. monocytogenes.

Objective:To explore the relationship between mobile phone addiction and perceived stress, negative emotion, social support and psychological capital in college students, especially to clarify the internal mechanism of these variables.Methods:A total of 836 college students were investigated with mobile phone addiction index scale, positive psychological capital questionnaire, stress perception scale, positive and negative emotion scale and perceived social support scale.SPSS 22.0 software was used for correlation analysis and SPSS-PROCESS was used to analyze the mediating effect and moderating effect.Results:(1)The scores of psychological capital and perceived stress were(123.38±17.96)and(38.76±6.39)respectively, and the scores of negative emotion, social support and mobile phone addiction were(22.46±6.45), (63.36±12.40)and(39.31±10.01)respectively.Psychological capital was negatively correlated with perceived stress, negative emotion and mobile phone addiction( r=-0.66, -0.37, -0.28, all P<0.01).Perceived stress was positively correlated with negative emotion and mobile phone addiction( r=0.50, 0.38, both P<0.01).Social support was positively correlated with psychological capital( r=0.50, P<0.01), while negatively correlated with perceived stress, negative emotion and mobile phone addiction( r=-0.41, -0.30, -0.12, all P<0.01).(2)Psychological capital influenced mobile phone addiction by the mediating effect of perceived stress( β=-0.20, SE=0.03, 95% CI: -0.27--0.13).In addition, psychological capital influenced mobile phone addiction through the chain mediating effect of perceived stress and negative emotion( β=-0.04, SE=0.01, 95% CI: -0.06--0.01).Moreover, the mediating effect of psychological capital on stress perception was moderated by social support. Conclusion:Perceived stress and negative emotion are important mediations between psychological capital and mobile phone addiction.Social support can moderate the effect of psychological capital on perceived stress.
