Objective To guide the therapy for cyanide poisoning patients on plateau, the effect of hypoxia on the efficiency of 4-(N, N-dimethyl)-aminophenol (4-DMAP) in ferrihemoglobin (MHb) formation was investigated. Methods Rabbits were raised in hypoxic condition (4500m altitude) as acute-hypoxic animal model, and MHb concentration was determined by spectrophotography at the length of 635nm after 4-DMAP injection. Results There was no difference in hemoglobin content and MHb concentration between acute acutehypoxia group and controls. But in hypoxic rabbits, MHb formation as induced by 4-DMAP was improved distinctly. 30%-40% MHb concentration formation (optimal anti-cyanide concentration) was induced by 20mg/kg 4-DMAP in hypoxic rabbits, compared to 25-30mg/kg in control rabbits. However, when hypoxic rabbits received 25-30mg/kg 4-DMAP, which was the optimal dose for treatment of cyanide poisoning in normoxic animals, the animals manifested even worse symptoms of hypoxia, eren death occurred. Moreover, the level of MHb in acute-hypoxic models maintained longer than that in controls. The effect of 4-DMAP in MHb formation was closely related with duration of hypoxia. During hypoxia period from 1d to 5d, MHb concentration was increased gradually along with the duration of hypoxia, peaking on the 5d, and it started to decline on 7d, but it was still higher than that in control group. Conclusion Hypoxia enhances the effect of 4-DMAP in MHb formation and lowers the metabolism of MHb.

Objective To optimize systems of pig embryo in vitro production. Methods Pig oocytes were matured and fertilized in vitro in different culture mediums. Maturation rate and cleavage rate were analyzed. Results Gonadotropin induced maturation of pig oocytes in vitro , and improved the frequence of oocytes developed into M Ⅱ. The highest maturation and cleavage rates, present in medium with 15 IU/ml FSH+30 IU/ml LH, were 62% and 15% respectively. There was no difference in maturation rates in M199 and NCSU 23(48.2% vs 56.9%). However, difference in cleavage rate was observed in these two mediums(15.7% vs 36%, P

Objective To Identify B-cell epitopes on monkey B virus envelope protein gD.Methods Base on bioinformatics software, secondary structure, hydrophilicity, surface accessibility, antigenic index and flexibility of monkey B virus envelope protein gD was analysed and some potential peptide epitopes were forecasted.Then, the interactions between synthetic peptides and BV positive sera were detected by Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay ( ELISA) .At last, The sensitivity and specificity of synthetic peptides was evaluated used 20 samples of Standard sera by ELISA.Result Seven epitopes were forecasted by Bioinformatics analysis. Four synthetic peptides, sequence as 46 LPPLEQKTD54 , 106 RGAPEATRSDA116 , 291 PELAPEERGTSRTPGD306 and 361 AVYLVRRRGR370 could be reacted with positive sera pool.The sensitivity of 4 synthetic peptides changed form 40% to 70% and the specificity were 100% for 4 synthetic peptides. Conclusion There are at least four linear epitope on B virus gD protein.
