Chinese Journal of Behavioral Medicine and Brain Science 2017;26(3):251-254
Objective To explore the characteristics of approach and avoidance behaviors among subthreshold depressed adolescents. Methods 27 subthreshold depressed adolescents and 29 healthy con?trol teenagers completed the approach?avoidance task,and the reaction time at approach and avoidance task of the two groups was compared. At the same time,their differences were analyzed between the two groups on the Behavioral Inhibition/Activation System Scale scores. Results ( 1 ) Subthreshold depression group (1208.18±338.92)ms) had significantly longer reaction time than those in healthy control group((1058.40 ±204.22)ms) when approaching happy expression ( t=2.02, P<0.05). (2) Subthreshold depression group (37.33±4.46) had significantly lower behavioral activation system scale scores than those in healthy control group ((39.76±3.75), t=-2.21, P<0.05); and the score of reward responsiveness was marginally signifi?cant lower in subthreshold depression group (12.63±1.67) than that in healthy control group ((13.41± 1.30), t=-1.97, P=0.054). Conclusion To activate the approach behaviors of subthreshold depression adolescents may be helpful for reducing the symptoms of depression.

OBJECTIVE:To optimize ultrasonic-assisted extraction technology of total flavonoids from Vaccinium uliginosum. METHODS:Based on single factor test,the ultrasonic-assisted extraction technology of total flavonoids from V. uliginosum was op-timized by orthogonal test,using the yield of total flavonoids as index,with ethanol volume fraction,solid-liquid ratio and ultrason-ic power as factors. The optimized technology was validated and compared with traditional ethanol reflux method(reflux extracting for 2 times,2 h each time). RESULTS:The optimal extraction technology was as follows as the solid-liquid ration of 1:25,70%ethanol,ultrasonic power of 250 W(40 min for ultrasonic time). In validation test,the yield of total flavonoids from V. uliginosum was 3.98%(RSD=0.41%,n=3),and the yield of total flavonoids was 2.25% by ethanol reflux method. CONCLUSIONS:The ultrasonic-assisted extraction is obviously superior to ethanol reflux method on extraction time and effects,and it is suitable for in-dustrialized production.
