Objective To investigate the method of establishing a model of delay eyeblink condi-tioning ( DEC) in no surgical cynomolgus monkey and analyze the related acquisition rule.Methods Using the special monkey chairs to fix 6 adult male cynomolgus monkeys,they were sitting on the chairs and keep-ing awake,and heads could rotate freely during the whole training session.In the experiment,the 6 monkeys were trained in DEC with a tone (500 ms,85 dB) as the conditioned stimulus (CS),paired with a corneal oxygen-puff (100 ms,5 psi) as the unconditioned stimulus (US).There were 120 trials per-session,and 2 sessions per-day.During the experiments,an infrared emitter/detector attached to spectacles for eyeblink re-cording,the data of conditioned response ( CR) and startle response ( SR) were analyzed offline.Result-s Among the 6 cynomolgus monkeys,4 of them completed all of the training process of DEC and 3 monkeys had successful acquisition of DEC.The average CR rate in the last training session reached ( 64.67 ± 2.00)%,(P<0.01);1 monkey only showed a high acquisition rate( 85.00%) at the first training session, and the low CR rate in the next training sessions with the average rate of 18.16%,suggesting that the DEC model was failed to established.The SR rates in 4 cynomolgus monkeys were low with average rate of 5.47%. Conclusion Although the DEC behavior training of the cynomolgus monkey is easy to be influenced by many inside or outside factors,DEC can be obtained under the condition of non surgery and proper braking.

Objective:To establish an HPLC method for the determination of isoniazid and explore the impact of 60Co-γ on the sta-bility of isoniazid. Methods:A Diamosil C18(2) column(250 mm×4.6 mm,5 μm) was used. The mobile phase consisted of metha-nol and 0.2% phosphoric acid(2 :98). The flow rate was 1.0 ml·min-1,and the detection wavelength was at 254 nm. The isonia-zid solutions at different accurate initial concentration(10,50,100 μg·ml-1,100 μg·ml-1+saturated N2,100 μg·ml-1+satu-rated O2,100 μg·ml-1+10% tert-butanol and isoniazid powder) were irradiated by 60Co-γ at different doses (0.3,0.6,1,2.5, 5,10 kGy). And then,the concentrations of remained isoniazid were determined by HPLC. Results: Isoniazid was in a good linear relationship within the range of 1-200 μg·ml-1(r=0.999 0) with the recoveriy of 98.13% (RSD=0.65%). The degradation rate of isoniazid was affected by the initial concentration and the radiation dose,which increased with the increase of absorption amount and increased with the concentration increase,and the powder almost had no degradation. The degradation of isoniazid+O2significantly de-creased,and that of isoniazid+N2and isoniazid+tert-butanol was inhibied to a certain extent. Conclusion:Isoniazid is sensitive to 60 Co-γ irradiation,and its degradation is higher with lower concentration and higher irradiation dose.
