Objective To prevent phenomena of using Radix Ginseng (dry Radix Ginseng and white sugar Radix Ginseng) instead of Panax quinquefolium L. and to avoid the occurrence of side effects. Methods Panax quinquefolium L and Radix Ginseng were distinguished by their characters and fluorescence identification. Results Fluorescence color was observed by using ultraviolet lamp (254 nm) under the light-shading condition. The hadromestome of Panax quinquefolium L showed amethyst fluorescence, the dry Radix Ginseng showed blue fluorescence, and the white sugar Radix Ginseng showed bright blue fluorescence. Conclusion Fluorometric method can be used to identify Panax quinquefolinm L and Radix Ginseng, This method is simple and easy for spread.

Objective:To analyze the modifiable risk factors for early-onset Alzheimer's disease (EOAD), and provide evidence for primary prevention of EOAD.Methods:Forty patients with EOAD, admitted to our hospital from January 2015 to April 2020, were selected as EOAD group, and 120 healthy controls accepted physical examination and matched with EOAD patients in age, gender and education level were selected. Demographic characteristics and clinical data of patients from the EOAD group and subjects from the control group were compared retrospectively, and multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the independent risk factors for onset of EOAD.Results:As compared with the control group, the EOAD group had significantly higher proportion of patients with hypertension, non-traumatic tooth loosening or loss, history of traumatic brain injury, hearing impairment, chronic stress and/or anxiety, and sleep disorder ( P<0.05). The results of multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that hypertension ( OR=4.559, 95%CI=1.523-13.643, P=0.007), non-traumatic loss or loosing of tooth ( OR=5.345, 95%CI=1.989-14.346, P=0.001), hearing impairment ( OR=9.336, 95%CI=2.033-27.850, P=0.000), chronic stress and/or anxiety ( OR=7.375, 95%CI=2.612-20.822, P=0.000), and sleep disorder ( OR=4.875, 95%CI=1.520-15.625, P=0.002) were independent risk factors for onset of EOAD. Conclusion:Hypertension, non-traumatic loss or loosing of tooth, hearing impairment, chronic stress and/or anxiety, and sleep disorders are risk factors for onset of EOAD; the screening and intervention of these risk factors can be used as a primary prevention strategy for EOAD.
