蝮蛇(Agkistrodon Halys)是我省分布广、产量大的优势种蛇。我所从一九七二年开始,用蝮蛇注射液治疗肺结核、慢性骨髓炎及喘息性支气管炎等,证明均有显著疗效。药理研究表明,蝮蛇注射液有刺激神经——垂体——肾上腺皮质系统的作用,并能增强网状内皮系统的吞噬功能及促进未成年动物体重的增长。关于蛇的化学成分研究,据国外报导曾分得棕榈酸、硬脂 The Agkistrodon Halys is a dominant species of snake that is widely distributed and yields in our province. Since 1972, I have used snakehead injections to treat tuberculosis, chronic osteomyelitis, and asthmatic bronchitis, all of which have shown significant results.

Regarding the chemical composition of snakes, according to reports from abroad, palmitic acid and stearin were
