Four three-layered perception feed-forward networks were trained with an error back-propagation algorithm. The significant principal components of the NIR spectral data matrix were utilized as the input of the networks. The networks architecture and parameters were selected so as to offer less prediction errors. Relative prediction errors for Rg 1, Rb 1, Rd and PNS obtained with the optimum ANN models were 8.99%, 6.54%, 8.29%, and 5.17%, respectively, which were superior to those obtained with PLSR methods. It is verified that ANN is a suitable approach to model this complex non-linearity. The developed method is fast, non-destructive and accurate and it provides a new efficient approach for determining the active components in the complex system of natural herbs.展开更多

The erythrocyte membrane Ca2+-ATPase activity and Na+-K+-ATPase activity were found to be decreased in the model group as compared with the control group (P<0.01, P<0.01), while no significant difference existed between the treated group and the control group (P>0.05). Our results also showed that there were more deformed red blood cells in model group than in control group under TCM and SEM (P<0.0001). No significant difference was found between control group and treated group (P>0.05). Furthermore,these findings indicated that 'Huoxuequyu' recipe , a prepared natural herbal medicine, may be involved in modulation of the activity of erythrocyte membrane enzymes,thereby protecting erythrocyte membrane, so as to improve the erythrocyte function.展开更多
