The changes of serum thyroid hormone total thyroxine (TT4), triodothyronine (TT3), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and plasma catecholamine,including norepinephrine (NE), epinephrine (E), dopemine (DA) were investigated in 10 male Antarctic expedition members (in Great Wall Station) under extreme environmental condition by CLIA and HPLC ECD.

The changes of urine and plasma catecholamines, norepinephrine(NE) and epinephrine(E), were investigated in 16 Antarctic expedition members(Great Wall Station) under extreme environmental condition by Spectrophotofluorescent and radioenzymatic assay.

Taking the CAS institutes,survey teams and subject committee of biology and geo-science as the example in 1950s and 1960s,the paper studies the reasons and background of different scientific organizations establishment and their function during the integrated surveys of natural resources.

In order to study the possible relationship between the changes of behavior/personality and metabolic changes of 5 hydroxytryptamine(5 HT) in Antarctic expedition members,plasma tryptophan(Trp) and urinary 5 hydroxy 3 indoleacetic acid(5 HIAA) were studied in 24 winter over and 19 summer over members of the 8th and the 11th time teams respectively.
