As a vital component in an overall laboratory animal care and use program , development of a disaster plan plays a critical role for every research institution .Currently, most of domestic institutions would draw up an“emergency operation plan , EOP”, but ignoring a practicable “business continuity plan , BCP” in establishing a disaster plan.In this article, we will discusse about the definition of disaster , how to set up an EOP, and how to establish a thorough BCP , in order to show an integrated and professional disaster plan in laboratory animal care and use program .

The mrp gene of SS2 human strain Habb was truncated and cloned into a prokaryotic expression vector pGEX4T-2,and a fusion-expressed protein MRP-GST of 61 000 was obtained in E.coli.The GST was cut from MRP-GST with thrombin protease to gain the purified MRP of 35 000 which showed a strong reaction to the SS2 positive sera in Western blotting.BALB/c mice were immunitied intraperitoneally with purified MRP protein.Murine myeloma cells were fused with the splenocytes of the immunized mice after the third immunization.An indirect ELISA coated with purified MRP was used to screen hybridomas for production of specific antibody.The six McAb recognized MRP specially.According to the results of 71 standard strains (48 SS and 34 SS2)by Sandwich ELISA,the coincidence rate was 97.2%,but for 34 SS standard serotype was 100 %.The ELISA method has a potential value for clinical and epidemiological applicationgs.

The present research was aimed to investigate the effect of 50Hz, 1. 8mT of sinusoidal electromagnetic fields(SEMFs)on femur tissue cultivation in vitro. The rat femur tissue was isolated from SD rats by method of enzyme digestion, and randomly divided into two groups: SEMFs group and control. The femur tissue of SEMFs groups were exposured under 50Hz 1. 8mT of SEMFs for 1. 5h/time/d, but those in the control groups were without SEMFs treatment. The correlative gene was detected by the Real-time RT-PCR that after SEMFs treatment for 0 (first times treatments is 0 days), 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5d. The alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity was measured after SEMFs treatment for 3, 6, 9 and 12d respectively. The calcium content was detected after SEMFs treatment for 3, 6, 9 and 12d. The results showed that the OPG and Collagen-1 mRNA expression level was kept at a relatively stable level by SEMFs in the SEMFs group significantly. The Runx-2 mRNA expression level was significantly increased after the SEMFs treatment for 1d and 5d. The ALP activity of femur tissue was significantly increased alter SEMFs treatment for 3d and 9d. The calcium content was higher than untreated groups after SEMFs treatment for 6, 9 and 12d. The SEMFs promoted OPG, Collagen-1, Runx-2 mRNA expression level, ALP activity and calcium content. The result indicated that SEMFs increased the metabolism activity of femur tissues.

The present research was to investigate the time effect of sinusoidal electromagnetic fields (SEMFs) at different exposure time on the proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts (OB) in vitro. The newborn rat calvarial OB were isolated by enzyme digestion and divided randomly into 7 groups after one passage. The exposure times of the SEMFs were 0.5 h, 1.0 h, 1.5 h, 2.0 h, 2.5 h and 3.0 h, respectively, and the frequency was 50 Hz. The cells were exposed in the SEMFs of 1.8 mT. Those without SEMFs exposure were used as the control group. They were observed under the contrast phase microscope each day. After 48 h, cell proliferation was assayed by MTT method. The alkaline phosphatase (Alkaline Phosphatase, ALP) activities were measured after the exposure of SEMFs for 3 d, 6 d, 9 d and 12 d, respectively. The calcified nodules were stained by Alizarin Bordeaux after 10 d. The cells exposed in the SEMFs were arranged in Spiral appearance after 8 d. The SEMFs exposure time at 2.0 h, 2.5 h and 3.0 h significantly inhibited cell proliferation (P < 0.01) and 0.5 h, 1.0 h, 1.5 h groups more significantly than control groups (P < 0.05). When the 3 d, 6 d and 12 d the ALP activities of the 0.5 h, 1.0 h, 1.5 h and 2.0 h, times group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05), and after 9 d the 1.0 h, 1.5 h and 2.0 h activity of ALP higher significantly than control and other groups (P < 0.01). Other groups had no effect on the ALP activity. Alizarin Bordeaux staining result showed the amounts of calcified nodules 1.0 h, 1.5 h and 2.0 h higher than control groups. The SEMFs at 50 Hz, 1.8 mT different time exposure groups inhibits the proliferation of OB, but they enhances the maturation and mineralization of the OB and SEMFs at 1.8 mT of the 1.5 h has the strongest activity.

Objective To evaluate the reliability, validity and feasibility of the Chinese version of SF-36 health survey questionaire in long-term survivors of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Methods A total of 85 long-term NPC survivors completed the Chinese version of SF-36 by either telephone or mail survey. Correlation analysis, reliability analysis and factor analysis were performed to evaluate the reliability and validity of the scale. Results The Chinese version of SF-36 was easy to complete. The split-half reliability was 0. 92 and the Cronbach's α coefficient among domains were all above 0. 70, which showed good reliability and discrimination capacity among domains. All the correlation coefficients between each item and its domain achieved or approached 0. 5, which were greater than those between the item and other domains. These results demonstrated that the Chinese version of SF-36 had good content validity and discriminatory validity. Six principal components were extracted from the scale, which could basically represent eight domains. The cumulative variance was 71.4%. Two common factors were extracted from the eight domains, which accounted for 73.3% of the variance. The Chinese version of SF-36 was able to detect differences in the quality of life between NPC patients and healthy populations. Conclusions The Chinese version of SF-36 has good feasibility, reliability and validity in evaluating the quality of life in long-term NPC survivors.

Objective To analyze the effect of quality of life (QOL) on the prognosis of long-term survivors with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Methods A total of 192 NPC patients treated between 1999 and 2000 and with tumor-free survival before July 2003 were enrolled in this study. All patients received QOL measurement between July and August in 2003. Measurement scales included Chinese SF-36 questionnaire and a checklist consisting of fourteen items about self-rating symptoms. The median follow-up time was 7.9S years (range 2.67-9.55 years). The effects of QOL, social demographic and clinical factors on prognosis were analyzed. Results Univariate analysis showed that QOL affected the tumor-free survival and overall survival. Multivariate analysis showed that hypomnesia was an independent prognostic factor of tumor-free survival, while trismus, headache and age were independent prognostic factors of overall survival. The younger and the better QOL had better prognosis. The other sociodemographic and clinical factors had no prognostic value. Conclusion QOL is an important factor affecting the prognosis of long-term survivors with NPC, and it should be routinely evaluated during the follow-up.
