Abstract

A mailing survey assessed consultation-liaison (C-L) service delivery and training among all 23 approved psychiatric residency training programs throughout the country. Twenty questionnaires were returned. Outpatient, inpatient, emergency, and consultation services were present together in 35% of the academic hospitals where residency training took place. Consultation service was provided by 18 (90%) responding programs. Eleven of those reported C-L training as part of their general psychiatry rotation. Nevertheless, educational objectives, weekly case conferences, and didactic seminars were provided by only five of them. The training time varied from 40 to 560 hours, 190 hours on average. The same five programs offered an elective third-year residency training, including liaison with specific units. The results illustrate the migration of academic psychiatric departments from the psychiatric hospital to the general hospital as well as the beginning of C-L training programs in Brazil.

Berteroin ameliorates lipid accumulation through AMPK-mediated regulation of hepatic lipid metabolism and inhibition of adipocyte differentiation
2021, Life Sciences
Citation Excerpt :
The prevalence of NAFLD is increasing worldwide and is most closely associated with obesity, insulin resistance, and hyperlipidemia [33,34]. About 10–20% of NAFLD patients develop NASH, and some of these NASH patients may progress to liver cirrhosis and hepatocarcinoma [35]. Therefore, effective managements of NAFLD and NASH before progress to cirrhosis importantly determine recovery of normal liver function.
Berteroin (5-methylthiopentyl isothiocyanate) is a naturally occurring sulforaphane analog containing a non-oxidized sulfur atom in cruciferous vegetables. The objectives of the present study were to determine the effects of berteroin on lipid metabolism in hepatocytes and adipocytes and to elucidate the mechanisms involved.
The effect of berteroin on lipid metabolism were evaluated in liver X receptor α agonist-stimulated HepG2 cells and adipocyte differentiation-induced 3T3-L1 cells using MTT assay, western blot, real time polymerase chain reaction, oil red O staining, and triglyceride assay.
T0901317 treatment increased the expression of sterol regulatory element binding protein (SREBP)-1c, a major transcription factor that mediates lipogenesis, and berteroin pretreatment significantly inhibited the expressions of T0901317-induced SREBP-1c and lipogenic genes. Especially, berteroin had a greater inhibitory effect on T0901317-induced SREBP-1c activation than sulforaphane, AICAR, or metformin. Berteroin also markedly suppressed lipid droplet formations and triglyceride accumulations caused by both T0901317 stimulation in HepG2 hepatocytes and differentiation induction in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes. However, berteroin significantly increased the expression of mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation-related genes (carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1 (CPT-1) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator-1α) and the phosphorylation of adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) in HepG2 cells. Interestingly, effects of berteroin on the expressions of SREBP-1c protein and CPT-1 mRNA were remarkably prevented by compound C (an AMPK inhibitor).
Our results suggest berteroin-inhibited hepatic lipid accumulation and adipocyte differentiation might be mediated by AMPK activation and that berteroin might be useful for the prevention, amelioration, and treatment of metabolic diseases, including hepatic steatosis.
Consultation-liaison psychiatry as a subspecialty. A Canadian survey
1993, General Hospital Psychiatry
In Canada, in recent years, there has been increased interest in the issue of subspecialization in psychiatry. One hundred and forty-four members of the Section on Psychosomatic Medicine of the Canadian Psychiatric Association responded to a survey about their opinions on teaching, training, continuing education, and designation of consultation-liaison (C-L) psychiatry as a subspecialty. Fifty-five percent of respondents agreed that C-L psychiatry should receive designation as a psychiatric subspecialty, 35% were opposed, and 10% did not give an opinion. The results also indicated that formal teaching in C-L psychiatry has increased, particularly over the past 20 years; that training in C-L psychiatry is believed by many to have been inadequate, regardless of when the training took place; and recent graduates were more likely than psychiatrists graduating more than 10 years ago to agree that C-L psychiatry should be designated as a subspecialty. Psychiatrists who devote more of their time to the care of patients with combined medical and psychiatric illness were also more likely to favor subspecialty designation. Factors unique to Canada that may influence attitudes toward psychiatric subspecialization include the number and geographic distribution of psychiatrists, their educational background, and governmental funding priorities.
