1987 GORDON RESEARCH CONFERENCE ON ALCOHOL

酗酒和酗酒是美国和西方的主要问题 文明和发展中国家日益关注的问题。然而，在 与癌症和心脏病等其他健康问题形成对比 实验室研究的好处现在正直接应用于 床上，这还不是酒精研究的情况。与终极的 希望实现这一目标，近期目标是审查 酒精研究中最有希望的发展，第三代戈登 酒精研究会议在圣诞老人的美丽华酒店举行 1987年2月，加利福尼亚州的芭芭拉。在那次会议上，一些最重要的 来自美国和国外的知名研究人员将被邀请参加 参与一个试图理解和整合效果的项目 酒精在四个生物组织水平上的作用：1)膜和 亚细胞，2)细胞，3)组织和器官，4)总有机体。 在这种情况下，生化和生理机制 导致易受酒精问题和双亲遗传的影响 酒精在发挥其毒性作用中的作用及其实现 成瘾倾向将在分子水平上进行探索。这个 此外，会议还将介绍在体外和动物中维持的细胞 作为描述这些问题的模型系统的遗传研究和目前 潜在应用于酒精中毒研究的新方法。

Alcohol abuse and alcoholism are major problems in the U.S. and the Western civilization and of growing concern in developing nations. Yet, in contrast to other health problems such as cancer and heart disease, where the benefits of laboratory research are now being directly applied to the bed, such is not yet the case with alcohol research. With the ultimate hope of satisfying that objective and with the immediate goal of reviewing the most promising developments in alcohol research, the 3rd Gordon Research Conference on Alcohol is being held at the Miramar Hotel in Santa Barbara, California in February 1987. At that meeting some of the most prominent researchers both from the U.S. and abroad will be invited to participate in a program attempting to understand and integrate the effects of alcohol at four levels of biological organization: 1) membrane and subcellular, 2) cellular, 3) tissue and organ, and 4) total organism. Within this context, biochemical and physiological mechanisms that contribute to heritable vulnerability to alcohol problems and pari passu the effects of alcohol in exerting its toxic properties and realizing its addictive liability will be explored at the molecular level. The Conference will present, in addition, cells maintained in vitro and animal genetic studies as model systems for delineating these issues and present new methodologies for potential application to alcoholism research.
