[Objective] To observe the anti-aging actions of total saponins of Radix Notoginseng, i.e., Panax Notoginseng saponins (PNS) on rats with Alzheimer's Disease (AD). [Methods] Among 90 Wistar rats, 15 rats aged 3 months were allocated to the youth group, 15 aged 15 months to the aged group, and other 60 aged 15 months were given with intraperitoneal injection of D-galactose and injection of ibotenic acid into bilateral Meynert nucleus basalis to establish the models of AD. After then, the surviving model rats were randomized into four groups: model control, high-dose PNS (200mg?kg-1?d-1), low-dose PNS (100 mg?kg-1?d-1) and huperzine A (0.3 mg?kg-1?d-1). Except the model group, the youth group and the aged group were given the same amount of normal saline by gavage, the other groups were treated with the designed drugs respectively for 4 weeks. After treatment, serum levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione (GSH), triglyceride (TG) and cholesterol were detected. [Results] High- and low-dose PNS increased the serum levels of SOD, GSH and CAT, the differences being significance as compared with the model group (P

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the application of fuzzy comprehensive evaluation in formulation screening. METH-ODS:Taking Compound paracetamol and chlorphenamine maleate granules as model drug,based on single factor experiment,L9(34) orthogonal test was used to screen the formulation with the amount of aspartame,hawthorn powder essence,milk powder essence and saccharose as factors,using dissolution rate of caffeine as index. The granules prepared by 9 kinds of formulation in orthogonal test were evaluated with fuzzy comprehensive evaluation in terms of taste,aroma,color and dissolubility. The optimized formula-tion was validated and compared with original formulation. RESULTS:The formulation 5 was the optimal choice in both orthogo-nal test and fuzzy comprehensive evaluation,and obtained same results. Compared with sensory comprehensive score (63.12) and dissolution rate of caffeine (91.3%) in original formulation,two indicators of optimized formulation in 3 tests were 84.00 and 99.07% in average (RSD<2.0%,n=3). CONCLUSIONS:Fuzzy comprehensive evaluation can be used for the formulation screening of sensory evaluation index. It is scientific and accurate.
