Psychothérapie psychodynamique brève de la dépression pour patients hospitalisés

L'objectif de cet article est de proposer une réflexion sur l'opportunité que représente l'hospitalisation de s'intéresser à la dépression en tant que travail de métabolisation psychique d'une expérience subjective significative, ou de son échec. Cet article présente les principales modalités organisatrices de la psychothérapie en 12 séances (à raison de 3 séances hebdomadaires) que nous avons mise en place pour les patients hospitalisés souffrant d'un épisode dépressif unipolaire. Lors de celle-ci, le psychothérapeute situe son intervention sur la base de quatre organisateurs : la thématique conflictuelle que révèlent l'hospitalisation et la crise, la structure de personnalité du patient, la brièveté de la psychothérapie et la psychopathologie du symptôme. Ces organisateurs vont encadrer le processus et lui conférer son originalité. Un récit clinique illustre comment cette psychothérapie, même brève, peut remettre en mouvement une situation par la constitution (la reprise) d'une historicité psychique de l'épisode dépressif. Notre expérience clinique montre qu'un tel dispositif délimite clairement un espace permettant une écoute psychanalytique authentique des patients souffrant de dépression grave. The aim of this article is to propose a reflection on the opportunity that hospitalization can represent as a way to think of depression in terms of psychic metabilisation of a significant subjective experience, or its feature. The article presents the main modalities through which this approach is organized for hospitalized unipolar patients in a phase of depression. It comprises 12 sessions (3 per week), The psychotherapit's intervention is organized around 4 basic themes : the conflict revealed in the crisis surrounding hospitalization, personality structure, briefness of psychotherapy and the psychopathology of the symptom. These organisors are the framework that lend this process its originality. A clinical vignette illustrates how this psychotherapy, though brief, is able to remobilize a situation through retrieving the psychical historicity of the depressed episode. Our clinical experience shows that this dispositive is a clearly destined space for lending an authentic psychoanalytic ear.

Targeting mTORC2 inhibits colon cancer cell proliferation in vitro and tumor formation in vivo

The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), which exists in two functionally distinct complexes, mTORC1 and mTORC2 plays an important role in tumor growth. Whereas the role of mTORC1 has been well characterized in this process, little is known about the functions of mTORC2 in cancer progression. In this study, we explored the specific role of mTORC2 in colon cancer using a short hairpin RNA expression system to silence the mTORC2-associated protein rictor. We found that downregulation of rictor in HT29 and LS174T colon cancer cells significantly reduced cell proliferation. Knockdown of rictor also resulted in a G1 arrest as observed by cell cycle analysis. We further observed that LS174T cells deficient for rictor failed to form tumors in a nude mice xenograft model. Taken together, these results show that the inhibition of mTORC2 reduces colon cancer cell proliferation in vitro and tumor xenograft formation in vivo. They also suggest that specifically targeting mTORC2 may provide a novel treatment strategy for colorectal cancer.
