A new method agar diffsive hemolysis test (ADHT)was esteblished to measure thd hemlytic titer of HEC toxin produced by Aeromonas hydrophila.The ADHT had also been compared with the spectrophotometry and the microhemolyses test The results shows that the hemlytic titer detected by ADHTwas hither than the former methods and the ADHT was charactered by better and more easily determined.

A new method skim milk proteolysis ager diffusion test (SMPAD) was established. Extracelluar proteases in supernatants produced by Aeromonas hydrophila J-l in different mediums were detected by SMPAD and the Azocasein substrat method. It was demonstrated that the two methods agreed with each other and the SMPAD test was charactered by more easily operated, more sensitive and better repeated.

Objective To evaluate the prevention of glucocorticoid -induced avascular necrosis of the femoral head(ANFH)with Tongluo Shenggu Capsule(TSC).Methods One hundred and twenty adult SD rats were randomized into six groups:normal control group,model group,clofibratum group and three -dose TSC groups(high -,moderate -and low -dose respectively).ANFH rat models were established by injection of glucocorticoid once per week and the med-ication groups were given drugs by ga stric infusion one time a day.The rats were killed in the fourth,eighth and twelfth week respectively.Then the macrosc opic and microscopic feature of the f emoral head were observed,and ink -p erfused specimens of the femoral head were detected and analyzed by auto -photograph software of Metamoph to evaluate the pre-ventive effect of TSC.Results In TSC groups,bone trabecula grew we ll,similar to the normal group;lacu nar bone per-centage was lower than that in the mod el group;fatty degeneration in marrow cavity of the femoral head was redu ced,andthe number of subcartilaginous bloo d vessels and their diameter were increased as compared with those in the model group(P
