Objective To study the sensitivity and reliability of rat skin anaphylactoid test method, detect and evaluate the anaphylactoid reaction of traditional Chinese medecine injection. Methods The condition of rat skin anaphylactoid test was optimized by studying the influencing factors of sensitivity and reliability of test with C48/80 as a tool drug, Tween80, endotoxin, China cobra toxin, trichosanthin injection, Tanreqing injection and Xuesaitong injection were investigated. Results The best conditions of rat skin anaphylactoid test was as follows:intrademal inject the drug with insulin syringe, 50-100μL per point, immediately inject 0.5%Evans blue dye 1 mL though caudal vein, 15 min later, kill the rat by carotid artery bleeding, clip dorsal skin to do the test. With this method, Tween80, endotoxin, China cobra toxin and trichosanthin injection all can induce blue stain in rat skin. Tanreqing injection showed no blue stain at the clinical dose. Xuesaitong injection although can induce blue stain in rat skin at the clinical dose, but the results cannot exclude the interference of its pharmacological function. Conclusion The method is simple with short test cycle, less dose of test drug, high detection sensitivity and good reproducibility, but some drug can show false positive result due to its own property.

Objective To explore the change of CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ regulatory T (Treg) cells during aging and the relation with lung tumor. Methods The Lewis lung cancer model was set up in C57BL/6 female mice, and the 36 mice were divided into young health group, middle-aged health group, elderly health group, young tumor group, middle-aged tumor group and elderly tumor group. The percentages of CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ Treg in CD4+ T cells in mice spleen cells were measured by flow cytometry, for reflecting the quantity of CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ Treg cells. And the level of Foxp3 mRNA in splenocyte was tested by real-time PCR method. Results The level of CD4+CD25+Foxp3+/CD4+ T cells and the quantity of Foxp3 mRNA were higher in tumor groups than in healthy groups(both P<0.05 ). Besides, in the healthy groups, there were statistical differences in the level of CD4+CD25+Foxp3+/CD4+ T cells (F=47.70, P=0.000) and the quantity of Foxp3 mRNA among the different months groups. Accumulation of the CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ Treg cells was accompanied with aging, the elderly mice contained a significantly larger population of CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ Treg cells in their spleen when compared with the younger counterparts, and the highest was the elderly tumor group. So it was with the functional gene Foxp3 mRNA (F=6.56, P=0.009). Conclusions The results suggest a close relationship of the change of CD4+CD25+Foxp3+Treg cells with aging and the genesis and development of lung tumor.

Aim To observe the expression of epider-mal growth factor receptor ( EGFR) in cerebral tissues around hematomas after intracerebral hemorrhage, and explore the effects of EGFR on activation of astrocytes derived from rats and the involved mechanisms. Meth-ods The specimens of cerebral tissues around hemo-tomas after intracerebral hemorrhage undergoing hemo-tomas removal operation were collected and then divid-ed into 4 groups according to the time of intracerebral hemorrhage: <1 d, 1 ~5 d, 6 ~10 d and >10 d groups. Each group included 20 cases. At the same time, 20 dropped brain tissues distant to hemorrhage in the operative process were collected as control group. Immunohistostaining and Western blot were used to measure the expression of EGFR. After isolation and culturing, the astrocytes of rat cortex were treated with culture solution ( control group) , CNTF that was used to activate astrocytes, scramble siRNA + CNTF and EGFR siRNA +CNTF for 24h, respectively. The ex-pression of glial fibrillary acidic protein ( GFAP) mR-NA was detected through fluorescence real-time quanti-tative PCR. In addition, the protein levels of GFAP, signal transducers and activators of transcription 3 ( STAT3 ) and phosphorylated STAT3 ( p-STAT3 ) were examined using Western blot. Results With the ex-tension of intracerebral hemorrhage time, positive sig-nal index and protein expression levels of EGFR gradu-ally elevated, reached the peak on 6 ~10d, and then decreased after 10 d. There was statistical difference ( P<0. 01 ) . The expression levels of GFAP mRNA and protein as well as p-STAT3 were significantly in-creased in cells treated with CNTF alone as compared to control group ( P <0. 01 ) , whereas these effects were almost completely reversed by EGFR siRNA transfection ( P <0. 01 ) . Additionally, there was no statistical difference in STAT3 protein levels among groups ( P >0. 05 ) . Conclusions EGFR expression is upregulated in the cerebral tissues around hemotomas after intracerebral hemorrhage. Gene silence of EGFR contributes to suppressing the activation of astrocytes derived from rats, which may be involved in the block-ade of STAT3 phosphorylation.

Objective:
To analyze the duration and influencing factors of moderate and vigorous physical activity(MVPA) on weekends for primary school students in grades 4 to 6 in Beijing, and to provide a reference for formulating health education and promotion measures.
Methods:
Multi stage stratified cluster sampling method was used to randomly select 2 515 students from grades 4-6 in 14 primary schools in Beijing, and a self administered questionnaire was used to record MVPA on weekend, social demographic characteristics, other related health behaviors and knowledge. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to explore the influencing factors of MVPA on weekends.
Results:
The prevalence of insufficient MVPA on weekends in Beijing was 63.54 %, and the prevalence was higher among girls (69.92%) than boys (57.81%) ( χ 2=39.65, P <0.01). Multiple Logistic regression analysis revealed that girls ( OR =1.74), living in rural areas ( OR =1.41), participants attending general schools ( OR = 1.34 ), from divorced family ( OR =1.46), and short sleep duration ( OR =1.50) were more likely to fail to meet the MVPA recommendations( P <0.05).
Conclusion
It is quite common that no sufficient weekend MVPA among senior primary school students, among them, the outer suburbs and schools with relatively weak teaching resources are the key places that need attention, and girls are the key groups that need attention.
