Anders,1 noted that pediatrics and child psychiatry have, in the past, shown little ability to collaborate. The unfortunate effects of this lack of collaboration have been brought into focus in the report of the Task Force on Pediatric Education,2 which notes that "about half of young pediatricians rated their residency as providing insufficient experience with psychosocial and behavioral problems," and indicated a need for information about normal and abnormal growth and development patterns, psychological testing, psychotherapy, psychopharmacology, parenting and behavioral change.

Pediatric Education

The special pediatric practice issue of Pediatrics was an appropriate forum for the articles by Dubowitz and Chastain et al and the response by Morrow. In all three commentaries, various aspects of pediatric residency training were discussed, whereas the need for a "supplement" represented the overload of continuing education of the practitioner. Dubowitz suggested that there is a need for additional pediatric residency training in child maltreatment. Chastain et al questioned pediatricians about perceived increases in adolescent medicine skills acquired since the Task Force on Pediatric Education called for more emphasis on adolescent medicine during residency training.

To the Editor.— Cheers to Dr Wender et al1 for having the good sense to update the survey of pediatricians originally undertaken by the 1978 American Academy of Pediatrics Task Force on Pediatric Education, but their concept of what constitutes "significant improvement" leaves me mystified! In their sample of graduates of pediatric residency training programs since 1984, the following percentages of physicians found their residency training experiences to be insufficient: Care of adolescents, 50.9% Psychosocial problems, 50.1% Interviewing and counseling, 33.3%

The paper by Starfield1 is provocative and discomforting to all pediatricians whether clinician-practioner or academician-educator. She issues a keen challenge to us, and that is healthy for any professional discipline, certainly for a specialty discipline characterized by optimism and resilience. The data base for Starfield's analysis of pediatric practice is limited by confinement to the conclusion of an era of more abbreviated or traditional subspecialty-oriented graduate pediatric training. She reflects about the practice patterns of pediatricians who were trained before the seminal deliberations and conclusions of the Task Force on Pediatric Education.2 The Task Force and the certifying and accrediting arms of American pediatrics initiated sweeping changes in the philosophy and structure of pediatric residency training.

The Impact

In an attempt to examine the extent of implementation of the recommendations issued by the Task Force on Pediatric Education for increased emphasis on adolescent medicine during residency training, pediatricians' perceptions of their skills and abilities to provide health care to adolescents were evaluated. A sample of 558 pediatricians selected at random and 385 members of the American Academy of Pediatrics' Section on Adolescent Health (SAH) completed a 41-item questionnaire. The physicians' perceived levels of skill in ten areas were analyzed while simultaneously assessing the impact of SAH membership, year of graduation from medical school, gender, and percentage of practice time devoted to adolescents on each issue. SAH members, as expected, ranked their levels of skill significantly higher than did the other pediatricians in all areas surveyed. A significant percentage of the SAH pediatricians, however, indicated that their skills were acquired through postresidency fellowship training. There was an increasing trend among all pediatricians in their perceived levels of skill to deliver health care to adolescents during the past several decades, but there has been no appreciable increase in such perceived skill levels since the task force issued its recommendations. In fact, pediatricians graduating from medical school in the decade prior to 1976 who are not SAH members ranked their skills higher than did non-SAH pediatricians who graduated in the past 10 years. These data lead to the conclusion that the recommendations of the Task Force on Pediatric Education have not been adequately implemented.

The report of the Pediatric Subspecialists of the Future Workgroup of the Second Task Force on Pediatric Education reviews the critical changes of the past 2 decades that have affected the provision of pediatric subspecialty services, education of pediatric health care providers, and the acquisition and application of new knowledge. The report considers the future needs that will determine the ability of pediatric subspecialists to meet identified goals. Recommendations for change in the education, role, and financing of the pediatric subspecialist are reported together with those of other workgroups.

New Morbidity

Twenty-nine pediatric residency training programs responded to a survey with detailed descriptions of the scheduled rotations before and after the Report of the Task Force on Pediatric Education. This survey documented some changes in the overall structure of residency programming in that all programs demand 3 years of general pediatric training. Little if any changes were noted in the traditional emphasis on inpatient and neonatal training. Some changes in content area have been noted, namely a modest increase in the experiences in adolescent medicine. The survey failed to demonstrate any trend indicating increased emphasis on training experiences in the "new morbidity."

Physiological Impact

Cytokinins (CKs) are a class of phytohormones affecting many aspects of plant growth and development. In the complex process of CK homeostasis in plants, N-glucosylation represents one of the essential metabolic pathways. Its products, CK N7- and N9-glucosides, have been largely overlooked in the past as irreversible and inactive CK products lacking any relevant physiological impact. In this work, we report a widespread distribution of CK N-glucosides across the plant kingdom proceeding from evolutionary older to younger plants with different proportions between N7- and N9-glucosides in the total CK pool. We show dramatic changes in their profiles as well as in expression levels of the UGT76C1 and UGT76C2 genes during Arabidopsis ontogenesis. We also demonstrate specific physiological effects of CK N-glucosides in CK bioassays including their antisenescent activities, inhibitory effects on root development, and activation of the CK signaling pathway visualized by the CK-responsive YFP reporter line, TCSv2::3XVENUS. Last but not least, we present the considerable impact of CK N7- and N9-glucosides on the expression of CK-related genes in maize and their stimulatory effects on CK oxidase/dehydrogenase activity in oats. Our findings revise the apparent irreversibility and inactivity of CK N7- and N9-glucosides and indicate their involvement in CK evolution while suggesting their unique function(s) in plants.

Children With Asthma

The Section on Allergy and Immunology was one of the first sections formed (1948) within the American Academy of Pediatrics. It now has almost 600 members. Its objective is to improve the care of children with asthma, allergies, and immunologic disorders. The Section aims to serve as a major informational and educational resource for the 34 000 members of the American Academy of Pediatrics. The Section sponsors a 2-day scientific program and symposium at each Anual Meeting of the Academy; and, for the past several years, it has also presented a symposium at the Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Allergy and Immunology, as well as the annual "Synopsis Book." Other educational activities by the Section include publishing position papers (most recently, "Exercise and the Asthmatic Child"), assisting the National Asthma Education Task Force of the National Institutes of Health, and developing informational pamphlets for patients. In addition, the Section sponsors visiting professorship programs to medical schools which do not have a division of pediatric allergy and immunology. The membership of the Section on Allergy and Immunology consists of Fellows of the American Academy of Pediatrics who have been certified by the American Board of Pediatrics and by the American Board of Allergy and Immunology. Any and all qualified American Academy of Pediatrics Fellows are invited to apply for membership in the Section. If interested, please write to: DIRECTOR, DIVISION OF SECTIONS American Academy of Pediatrics 141 Northwest Point Blvd PO Box 927 Elk Grove Village, IL 60009-0927 The reviews contained in this 1988 to 1989 synopsis were written by 28 Fellows of the American Academy of Pediatrics Section on Allergy and Immunology and by 5 senior fellows in allergy and immunology who contributed reviews under the aegis of their mentors.
