[Study on the factors of Suanzaoren decoction action by correspondence analysis combined with uniform design].
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the effect of administration dose, administration duration and the time from finishing the last administration to beginning the wild plain method on Suanzaorren decoction action.


METHODS
The number of spontaneous activities was determined to study the influence of the factors Suanzaoren decoction action by correspondence analysis combined with uniform design.


RESULTS
According to the correlation degree of each factors, there was positive correlation between administration duration and the number of spontaneous activities, whereas there was negative correlation between the two other factors and the number of spontaneous activities.


CONCLUSIONS
It is ecnoomical and efficient to use correspondence analysis combined with uniform design to study the influence of the three factors on Suanzaoren decoction action. The result may provide the basis for pharmacology and clinic.
