Objective The aim of this study was to determine the content of phthalate in disposable plastic tableware sold on Chengdu market,and to provide primary data for safety evaluation.Methods Sample selection was based on stratified sampling.Sixteen phthalate compounds were investigated in 60 disposable plastic tableware,divided into seven groups.The analysis was performed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS).Results In this survey,diethyl phthalate,diisobutyl phthalate,dibutyl phthalate and diethylhexyl phthalate were detected,while the other 12 phthalate compound were not.The positive rates of the four detected phthalate were 6.7％ (4/60),10.0％ (6/60),46.7％ (28/60) and 28.3％ (17/60) respectively,and the highest concentrations were 10.3,6.4,7.2 and 65.6 mg/kg,respectively.Conclusion The observed level of detection rates and maximum concentrations were relatively high in this survey.In addition,some subgroups of PAEs that were not allowed to use in food contact materials were detected.Therefore,the migration in different food simulant would be analyzed in the next step for further health outcome assessment.

Objective: Pervious RT-PCR results revealed the possibility of effective regulation channel of Xiaoyao San in treating rats of syndrome of liver invading the spleen. This experiment was designed to explore CIS rats’ immunohistochemistry findings in hippocampal subregion CA1 and amygdaloid subregion BLA after suppressing both amygdaloid AMPA receptors by microinjection of CNQX. To compare Xiaoyao San group with CNQX group, and to analysis of these findings may prove the possibility of effective regulation channel of Xiaoyao san treating this syndrome. Methods: 75 male SD rats were randomly divided into 5 equal groups: normal group, CIS group, sham-operation group, CNQX group and Xiaoyao San group. The number of GluR2 positive cells in hippocampal subregion CA1 and amygdaloid subregion BLA in these 5 groups were examined by immunohistochemistry test. Results: Compared with control group, the number of GluR2 positive cells decreased in hippocampal subregion CA1. Statistical analysis showed that no difference existed in control, CNQX and Xiaoyao San groups in CA1 region. Except CNQX group, tendency of changes were contradictory in BLA and CA1 region. In addition, the least in BLA in CNQX group. This finding revealed that Xiaoyao San may act the same as CNQX, thus Xiaoyao San afforded effective protection against this depression syndrome through suppression of both amygdaloid excitability. Conclusion: The balance coordination between hippocampus and amygdala may be the key in transformation from adaption to damage in a state of stress, was one of the central mechanisms of liver governing smoothing qi flow (LGSQF) on regulating the stress. Xiaoyao San may effectively regulate the balance of the excitability of hippocampus and amygdala. This hypothesis may reveal the regulation channel on Xiaoyao San affording effective protection against liver invading the spleen syndrome.

Objective To provide theoretical and experimental proof for selecting and implying Tourette's syndrome(TS) animal models, validities of four TS models induced by chemical factors were compared. Methods Four TS models,namely AMP model,APO model,DO1 model and IDPN model were built up by using different chemical modeling agents. Through detecting spontaneous movement, climbing time and monoamine transmitters levels in striatum, four TS animal models were compared and evaluated from three levels of validities-face, prediction,construct. Results Compared with control group, spontaneous movement times raised ( t = 4. 746, P =0. 000) and level of DOPAC ( (0.99 ± 0. 177 ) ng/mg) in striatum increased (P = 0.029 ), and level of NE in striatum decreased in AMP model group( (0.11 ± 0.033 )ng/mg, P = 0.012). Compared with control group, climbing time prolonged (P = 0. 004) and levels of DA ( ( 10. 19 ± 1.23 ) ng/mg), 5-HT ( ( 0. 54 ± 0.08 ) ng/mg) in striatum raised(P=0. 019, P=0. 002),at the same time ,levels of DOPAC( (0.63 ±0.11 )ng/mg),HVA ((0.45 ±0.04 ) ng/mg) in striatum reduced (P ＜ 0.01 ) in APO model group; Compared with control group, levels of DA ( ( 13.66 ± 1.55 ) ng/mg), DOPAC( (0.80 ±0. 11 ) ng/mg), HVA( ( 1.04 ± 0.14) ng/mg) grew downwards in striatum of DOI model mice(P=0.029,P=0.001, P= 0.004). Compared with control group, level of 5-HT in striatum increased in IDPN300 group ( (0.77 ± 0.09) ng/mg, P = 0.031 ). ConclusionFace validity of AMP model is temporal and that of IDPN model is steady and persistent. AMP model,APO model and DOI model possess predictive validity. AMP model,APO model,DOI model and IDPN model have potentiality of becoming construct validity model.

Objective To investigate the mechanism of gene regulation of xiaoyao Powder in the treatment of liver-stagnation and spleen-deficiency syndrome.Methods All SD rats(n=75)were randomly divided into 5 groups,including the normal group,model group,sham-operation group,CNQX group and Xiaoyao Powder group.The model was established by chronic restraint for 21 days and then CNQX group wag given CNQX microinjection by cerebral stereotaxis instrument.The sham-operation group was set up for review the influence of operative injury on the model.The modeling method of xiaoyao Powder group was as the same ag possible with that of CNQX group for the comparison between these two groups. The expression changes of GluR1-mRNA and GluR2-mRNA were detected, which were two important subunits in CA1 and CA3 regions of hippocampus and AMPA receptor of amygdala, by onestep RT-PCR method. The trends of indexes in all regions were compared between CNQX group and Xiaoyao Powder group. Results The expressions of GluR1-mRNA and GluB2-mRNA had no statistical significance among the normal group, CNQX group and Xiaoyao Powder group in CA1 and CA3 regions of hippocampus (all P＞0.05). In BLA region of amygdala the expressions of GluR1-mRNA and GluR2mRNA reached the lowest in CNQX group because the antagonism of CNQX to AMPA receptor, but had no statistical significance between the normal group and Xiaoyao Powder group ( all P＞0. 05 ). The trends of the expressions of GluRI-mRNA and GluR2-mRNA in hippocampns and amygdala were similar showed by RT-PCR in CNQX group and Xiaoyao Powder group after dismissing confounding factors like operative injury. Conclusion The regulating mechanism of Xiaoyao Powder to the expressions of subunits of hippocampus and amygdala AMPA receptor may be coincidence with that of CNQX in rat model of liver-stagnation and spleen-deficiency syndrome. It is deduced that Xiaoyao Powder cures liver-stagnation and spleen-deficiency syndrome through correcting the disorder of "excitation-inhibition" of hippocampus and amygdala and reconstructing the homeostasis.
