About 100 NIDDM diabetic patients type and 50 IDDM type selected by randomization. They were assessed according to age, sex, FBS, HbA1c, duration, type and beck inventory standard test. The findings showed: 40.6% have moderate and sever depression with beck test over 21 points. There are a significant relationship between age of diabetic patients and depression (P<0.14). There are a significant relationship between duration and depression. There aren’t any relationship between sex and depression (P>0.81). There aren’t any relationship between type of diabet and depression (P<0.236). There aren’t any relationship between HbA1c and depression (P>0.85).

Abstract

The goal of this research is to study of the rate of depression and its relation to type of free time activities, among the medical students at Gorgan University of Medical Sciences in 1999-2000. In this study, 238 medical students (122 male & 116 female) were selected by non-randomized and easy sampling. They were tested by the Beck depression inventory, and a questionnaire due to incomplete information, 32 medical students (15 male & 17 female) were omitted. In general, the average of depressed females was lower than male students (BDI score of 10.2 against 10.9 respectively), but this difference wasn’t statistically significant. Based on this information, medical students had the lowest rate of leisure activities. 52.2% of males and 65.2% of females had not any special leisure activity. The results from this investigation indicate that there are some differences of free-time activities between male and female students. Mental relaxation was the main item among the list of free-time activities of medical students. Finally, we could not find any significant correlation between depression and the kind of leisure activities, which was the main concept in this study.

Abstract

Background & Objective: It has been reported that, the ?-Carboline alkaloids of peganum harmala seeds have a stimulatory action on Serotonin and Catecholamines release in different brain regions. In addition, one of the most important pharmacological effects demonstrated for ?-Carboline is a revesible inhibitory action on MAO-A. These findings suggests that ?-Carboline, should alleviate at least some of the signs of depression. The purpose of present study is to determine the anti-depressant activity of ?-Carboline Harmane, Norharmane and Harmine. Materials & Methods: All experiments were carried out on male Swiss-Webster mice (25-30 g). The anti-depressant activities of the ?-Carboline were assessed using the forced swim test. This test is the most widely used tool for anti-depressant activity preclinically. In this test, mice were placed into a cylindrical glass (25 cm height, 12 cm in diameter) containing a column of 15 cm of water at 25±1°C. After 30 min of the ?-Carboline injections, the mice were subjected to forced swimming test for 8 min and their immobility time was recorded. Results: Interperitoneal (IP) injections of Harmane (5-15 mg/kg), Norharmane (2.5-10 mg/kg) and Harmine (5-15 mg/kg) significantly decreased the immobility time in the mouse forced swim test. The inhibitory effects of Harmane, Norharmane and Harmine were antagonized by Flumazenil (5 mg/kg, IP) but not by Reserpine (5 mg/kg, IP, 18 h before test). Conclusion: The results suggest that the anti-depressant activities of Harmane, Norharmane and Harmine may be mediated through an inverse agonistic mechanism.

Abstract

Background&Objective: Depression during pregnancy has been indicated as more frequent than depression after child delivery. But this important phenomenon has partly been ignored. This study aims to recognize the prevalence and possible influential factors on depression among pregnant women attended to Mirza Koochek Khan Hospital in Teheran. The study designed as a cross-sectional one and included sample of pregnant women during 2 months of study. Materials&Methods: Beck depression test was employed as data gathering instrument. Moreover, socio-economic and demographic characteristics of the respondents as well as their attitudes towards some reproductive health variables were questioned. The questionnaire piloted and thereafter, 180 pregnant women completed the questionnaire with their own consensus. Results: At least 23/3% of the sample suffered from depression in different degrees, though none of them received or requested treatment. The average score of Beck test among the sample was 11/43 with 5/75 standard deviation. Logistic regression analysis demonstrated that indicators related to physical and sexual violence from husbands’ side as well as their educational attainments were more influential variables on depression inducing (respectively). Conclusion: With regard to high prevalence of depression among the respondents, and as it has been indicated in relevant studies conducted in home, the integration of depression screening through appropriate instrument such as Beck test, in mother and child health services delivery seems to be necessary. Also taking into consideration the determinant role of husbands in rise and fall of pregnancy period depression, providing educational programs for husbands in terms of their active participation in alleviating pregnancy related problems and physiological - psychological changes occur during pregnancy suggested.

Abstract

Background&Objective: Comorbidity between ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) and major depression has been reported from both epidemiologic and clinical studies of both children and adults. With the use of family study methods, we tested hypotheses about patterns of familial association between attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and depressive disorder among first-degree relatives of clinically referred children and adolescents with ADHD. Materials&Methods: In this case – control study, were 208 probands with ADHD (aged 5-17 yrs) were diagnosed by clinical interview and the Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia for School–Age Children Present and Lifetime version (K–SADS–PL), and they were assessed for major depression with interview and K- SADS. 779 first degree relatives (416 parents, 363 siblings) were assessed with interview and K- SADS (for under 18 yrs) and SADS (for age up to 18 yrs) and Wender (for age up to 18 yrs) for major depression and ADHD. Results: Familial risk for ADHD was similar in the relatives of the ADHD probands. The risk for major depression disorder was three times higher in relatives of probands who had ADHD with depressive disorder than in those of the ADHD probands without depressive disorder. There was a tendency for ADHD probands' relatives who themselves had ADHD to have a higher risk for depressive disorder than ADHD probands' relatives who did not have ADHD (cosegregation). Conclusion: These findings are consistent with the hypothesis that ADHD and major depression disorder cosegregate within families.

Abstract

Background and Objective: Resveratrol is a phenolic herbal compound which has been proposed as antioxidant in combinational therapy of diabetes, cancer and some neurodegenerative diseases. This study was done to evaluate additive effect of trans-resveratrol and imipramine to reduce depressive symptoms in the forced swimming test in mice.

Methods: In this experimental study, 56 Swiss Webster male mice were randomly allocated into 6 groups including negative control group (normal saline), positive control (imipramine (10 mg/kg/bw), experimental groups; trans resveratrol (10 mg/kg/bw), Imipiramine (10 mg/kg/bw) and mixtures (with ratio of 1:1 of resveratrol with imipramine (2.5 mg/kg/bw, 5 and 10 mg/kg/bw), intraperitoneally. The forced swimming test has been done for all groups. Through swimming of animals in water, the immobilization times of animals as depressive symptom were recorded.

Results: The immobilization times significantly reduced in animals which were received imipramine
10 mg/kg/bw in compare to control group (P<0.05). The immobilization times of animals were received resveratrol injection 10 mg/kg/bw with imipramine 10 mg/kg/bw was determined which it was significantly effective than imipramine10 mg/kg/bw, alone (P<0.05). The antidepressant effectiveness of resveratrol injection 5 mg/kg/bw is similar to resveratrol (2.5 mg/kg/bw) with imipramine (2.5mg/kg/bw). is similar to resveratrol (2.5 mg/kg) with imipramine (2.5 mg/kg/bw) (P<0.05). Also, antidepressant effect of intraperitoneal administration of resveratrol 10 mg/kg was significantly more than imipramine
10 mg/kg/bw (P<0.05).

Conclusion: According to additive effect of imipramine with resveratrol we can suggest resveratrol in combinations with other antidepressants to lower their doses and related side effects of chemical drugs.
