内容説明

Over recent years, there has been an increase in the number of studies of alcohol and immunomodulation and a similar growth in studies of other drugs of abuse and immune functions. Evidence seems to suggest that many heavy alcohol consumers also use tobacco, cocaine, and heroin. The 2nd International Conference on Alcohol, Drugs of Abuse, and Immunomodulation held in Arizona in September 1992 provided the forum for researchers in both fields to present recent data and exchange ideas about their work. The studies presented in this symposium volume investigate the mechanisms of the immune dysfunction due to alcohol, heroin, and cocaine use, and attempt to elucidate what their ultimate effects are on AIDS, cancer growth and infectious disease. Clearly, alcohol use changes functions of the T cells and macrophages, which correlate with the loss of their resistance to pathogens and tumours. Alcohol also induces nutritional deficiencies which can be compensated by nutritional supplementation and immproved immunity.
