The blood and liver of every dog were divided into four parts. Three of them were preserved at -20℃, 4℃, 20℃respectively;another blood containing 1%NaF or liver fixed with 4% formaldehyde solution were preserved at 20℃. Fenpropathrin, cypermethrin and fenvalerate were determined by the GC equipped with an ECD and a GC/MS on different days after the storage. The equation and parameters of decomposition kinetics were imitated and calculated with WinNonlin program.2.

The fenpropathrin content in heart, spleen,lung,kidney, brain,pectoralis muscles, muscle of the right anterior limb,muscle of the right posterior limb reduced gradually to 17.6%-71.1% of the 0 d after it rised to the peak on 95 d. While the gastric wall and liver had a rise trends until the 383d. Cypermethrin group: Decomposition kinetics of in cypermethrin in buried cadavers of dogs which died from an intragastric administration of 10LD50. The cypermethrin content of heart ,spleen ,lung ,kidney ,brain ,gastric wall reduced gradually after it rised to the peak on 60d.While the pectoralis muscles and muscle of the right posterior limb rised to the peak point on 210d.Then the cypermethrin content of the samples reduced gradually. Fenvalerate group: Decomposition kinetics of in fenvalerate in buried cadavers of dogs which died from an intragastric administration of 10LD50. The fenvalerate content in heart,liver,kindy reduced gradually after it rised to the peak point on 350d. The fenvalerate content in brain and gastric wall rised to the peak point on 52 d.2.2 The effection of doses to the decomposition kinetics in buried cadavers: The results of the three experimental groups(fenpropathrin,cypermethrin,fenvalerate) showned that the drug content of the high dose group was higher than the low dose group in the heart,liver,kindy,brain and gastric wall .But the drug content in muscles had no significant difference between the two dose groups.2.3 The effection of burial way to the decomposition kinetics in buried cadavers: The experimental group of fenpropathrin showed that the fenpropathrin content, detected in the heart, lung, brain and gastric wall, was higher in plastic bags than those in wooden box after 75 days. The fenpropathrin content, detected in the heart, liver, spleen,brain, muscle of the right anterior limb and muscle of the right posterior limb, was higher in the wooden box than those in woven bag; Cypermethrin group: the cypermethrin content, detected in the heart,liver, lung, brain and gastric wall, was higher in plastic bags than those in wooden box after 75 days. The cypermethrin content, detected in the heart, liver, lung, gastric wall, muscle of the right anterior limb and muscle of the right posterior limb,was higher in in the wooden box than those in woven bag; Fenvalerate group: The fenvalerate content, detected in the heart, brain, muscle of the right anterior limb and muscle of the right posterior limb, was higher in plastic bags than those in wooden box after 75 days. The fenvalerate content, detected in the heart, lung, brain, gastric wall and muscle of the right posterior limb, was higher in the wooden box than those in woven bag.2.4 The effection of temperature to the decomposition kinetics in buried cadavers: The fenpropathrin group: The content of fenpropathrin, detected in the liver,spleen,brain, chest muscle and muscle of the right posterior limb, was higher buried in March to June than those buried in August to November.The other samples had no significant difference. The cypermethrin group: The content of cypermethrin, detected in heart,lung,kindy,spleen,brain and muscle of the right posterior limb, was higher buried in April to July than those buried in August to November. The fenvalerate group: The content of fenvalerate, detected in heart,liver,kindy,spl- een,brain,breast muscle and muscle of the right posterior limb, was higher buried in April to July than those buried in August to November.The rot leave of the dog remains which buried in August to November was more seriously than those in April to July. The average temperature in April to July and March to June is lower than August to November. Conclusion1. The dogs decomposition kinetics model of fenpropathrin, cypermethrin and fenvalerate have been developed, which can be applied to forensic identification, study on forensic toxicokinetics.2. The improved GC-ECD and GC-MS methods can be used in the forensic identification and forensic toxic kinetics study on fenpropathrin, cypermethrin and fenvalerate poisoning death.3. Fenpropathrin, cypermethrin and fenvalerate in specimens were found to be decomposed at various kinds preserved environment. Cryopreservation and formaldehyde can slow down the decomposition of the pyrethroids insecticides; But the NaF can speed up the decomposition.We suggest that the specimens for analysis should be submitted as soon as possible, NaF should not be added into the samples.4. The decomposition kinetics of fenpropathrin, cypermethrin and fenvalerate in blood and liver fit to the first-order kinetic process. The common equation was Ct=A*e-αt+B*e-βt and Ct=C0e-αt, which could be used to conclude the concentrations of fenpropathrin, cypermethrin and fenvalerate when the specimen were collected.5. The content of fenpropathrin, cypermethrin and fenvalerate in the samples of buried dogs showed a firstly increase and a next decrease. The fenpropathrin, cypermethrin and fenvalerat could be detected on 503 days, 480 days and 470 days after the bural. The decomposition kinetics of fenpropathrin, cypermethrin and fenvalerate in buried dogs showed a dose, burial ways and temperature dependent.6. In the forensic identification of buried cadavers of fenpropathrin, cypermethrin and fenvalerate poisoning death, we shoud take the whole situations into the consideration, which include buried time, buried way and buried seasons, and so on. Cadaver-dugging and toxic analysis should be carried out as soon as possible.
