Objective Through testing the immune functions of SD rats in spring and autumn, the internal mechanisms that lung corresponding with the autumn of TCM were explored, in order to provide the experimental evidence for the pathological and physiological mechanisms of respiratory system seasonal diseases. Method The pineal extirpating rat model was employed, and the indexes of spleen and thymus gland and the phagocytosis function of alveolar macrophage were observed at vernal equinox and autumnal equinox respectively. Result The indexes of spleen and thymus in the normal group and the false operation group at autumnal equinox were significantly lower than those at vernal equinox (P
