    Title translation Typus Melancholicus as endophenotype of melancholic depression.
    Abstract The concept of Typus Melancholicus has been proposed by German psychiatrist Hubertus Tellenbach (1914-1994) in 1960 to describe the pre-morbid personality of endogenous or melancholic depression. Thisentity shows distinctive personalitytraits: the order attachment, strong moral conscience, intolerance ambiguity and hypernomia-heteronomy. Tellenbach uses atypological and phenomenological approach allows the descriptionof styles, ways of being and becoming ill, with a vulnerability to specific situations (moving, pregnancy, career change). Melancholy would settle after the meeting between the Typus Melancholicus with a particular vulnerable situation. This clearly calls into question the classical idea that sees Kraepelinienne endogenous depression as a diseasede termined by heredity and lack of stressors. We propose to describe Tellenbach's concept, and to summarize the more recent empirical researches that valid the Typus Melancholicus as a phenotype for Melancholia.

    Title translation THE MANIC DEPRESSIVE DISEASE: PSYCHODYNAMICS ASPECTS AND AFFECTIVE SYNTONY.
    Abstract In a time when manic-depressive disease became bipolar disorder, and it is conceptualized and treated almost as a fully medical illness, such as epilepsy, we found worth returning to some psychodynamic aspects underlying this condition. Conventionally, we depart from the concept of melancholy, to introduce in a second time, the mania, as a liberating solution of the depression. To Abraham (1912), mania is the liberation from suffering imposed by the reality principle For Freud (1915), mania becomes a leak from the ego face a tyrannical superego (the encounter of ego and the ego ideal). Klein (1934) explains that the mania serves to counter the depressive position and thus avoid the guilt inside of ego. For Racamier (1979), mania is clearly a frantic negation of the anguish and emotional suffering. Today, some authors as Chabot and Husain try to define the manic depression organization, with the help of projective tests. This personality structure would be between psychosis and borderline. An axial element of this structure is the research for an affective symbiosis with each other. These concept, strongly resemble the "syntony", from Bleuler. We trace the evolution of manic depression from a psychodynamic and structural point of view, with particular interesting in the concept of syntony.

    Abstract HER-2 is a tyrosine kinase receptor which is overexpressed in 20-25% of breast cancer patients and is associated with poor prognosis. Trastuzumab, a humanized monoclonal antibody directed against the HER-2 receptor, used alone or in combination with chemotherapy, has shown significant clinical benefit in improving survival in metastatic patients, as well as halving the recurrence rate and improving survival in early breast cancer. Even with these impressive results, the reality is that not all patients will benefit form this therapy, and in those who do, resistance to trastuzumab can often develop within 1 year of treatment initiation. Beyond trastuzumab therapy, a "second wave" of monoclonal antibodies and tyrosine kinase inhibitors has emerged. These drugs have variable properties including: 1) dual inhibition against EGFR and HER-2, such as lapatinib, HKI-272 and pertuzumab; 2) anti-angiogenesis such as bevacizumab and pazopanib; 3) anti-mTOR action such as Temsirolimus; and 4) anti-Hsp90 such as 17-AAG. When used in combination with trastuzumab, or with cytotoxic chemotherapy, or as single agents, these new anti-HER-2 strategies bear the potential of arresting the tumorigenesis process. In this article, we present the current strategies in the treatment of breast cancer patients who overexpress HER-2, with particular focus on new tyrosine kinase inhibitors that can be used in combination with or after trastuzumab therapy.

    Abstract Major advances have been achieved in the field of biologically based therapies for cancer in the last few years, and some of the recently approved molecular-targeted therapies are now being used in daily clinical practice. These molecular targets are also expressed in normal cells, which explains the different grades of toxicity, resulting from the disruption of normal cellular function. In general, targeted molecular therapies have good toxicity profiles, but some patients are exquisitely sensitive to these drugs and can develop particular and severe toxicities. In this article, we review the toxicity and safety of various small molecules and monoclonal antibodies used in solid tumors, with discussion of the pathophysiology, correlation with response, and strategies for prevention and management.

    Abstract Targeted therapies, in cancer treatment, represent a new generation of drugs that interfere with specific molecular targets (typically proteins) having critical roles to play in tumour growth or progression. The principle of targeted therapy is certainly not new: tamoxifen, a hormonal agent targeted at the estrogen receptor, has been in use for more than 30 years. However, this principle has re-gained significant emphasis with the recent development of new biological agents, such as trastuzumab, which was first approved for the treatment of advanced breast cancer (BC) in 1998. Presently, there are at least three different targeted therapies with well documented activity in advanced BC and all three are now being studied in the adjuvant setting; trastuzumab and bevacizumab are monoclonal antibodies, and lapatinib is a dual inhibitor of HER-1 and HER-2. This paper will review the increasing role of molecular targeted therapies in BC, with a particular focus on those drugs currently being tested in early BC, as well as, on future perspectives.
