Abstract:
This study investigated demographic and personality variables, that counselors used in the selection of alcoholics for long term treatment and compared the completion rate for this group against completion rates reported in past studies, in order to determine if certain personality variables are associated with completion. The MMPI, Survey of Drinking Patterns and Effects, and a demographic questionnaire was administered to 355 lower class and "skid row" inpatient alcoholics from a North Tucson alcoholism treatment center. Results showed that counselors selection judgements approximated the characteristics of alcoholics who had completed long term treatment programs in past studies. Completion rates for this group studied were found to be moderately high compared to past studies. It was concluded that certain biographical and psychological variables can be used as selection criteria for determining alcoholics long term treatment completion. Implications for these findings are discussed.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis examines the possibilities of living an authentic life for an alcoholic, both in and out of Alcoholics Anonymous. Authenticity is explored using the existential models put forth by Jean-Paul Sartre and Soren Kierkegaard. Alcoholics Anonymous figures prominently in this analysis. It is suggested that A.A. acts inauthentically in its claims that it is not a religious organization. A.A. creates special problems for female alcoholics because of the sexist and masculinist nature of its primary literature. While A.A. claims that its message is the only way by which an alcoholic can recover, other treatment methods exist. Suggestions are made that A.A. revise its main texts, and two alternative organizations to A.A. are briefly discussed.

Abstract:
University of Central Florida College of Arts and Sciences Thesis
Abstinence used to be the only recommended goal for persons affected with alcohol misuse. In recent years there has been a trend to suggest controlled drinking for some alochol abusers. The comparison of abstinence versus controlled drinking indicates that controlled drinking goals have proved to be successful in a limited attempt with problem drinkers having middle income, average intelligence, stable job and adequate social support system. Severely dependent alcoholics (gamma type) have been trained in some instances to control their drinking in a laboratory environment, but their control erodes over time. The controlled drinking controversy has partly to do with different theoretical perspectives on alcoholism, but part of it has to do with the issue of territorality. What is needed at this point is an effective and thorough evaluation of a variety of alcohol-treatment programs with a variety of problem drinkers and alcoholics. In this endeavor a research design is proposed as an extension and improvement over the existing research methods on the comparative suitability of abstinence versus controlled drinking.

Abstract:
Alkoholvården i Sverige kan vara utformad på många olika och skilda sätt. Det är ett område där det finns ett flertal olika åsikter kring vilken behandling som är lämpligast eller effektivast. Uppsatsens syfte är att titta närmare på hur diskursen kring alkoholvård kan se ut i Sverige idag genom närmare granskning av de två tidskrifterna Socionomen och Alkohol & Narkotika. Två stora tidningar inom praktiker av socialt arbete. För att uppnå syftet utgår uppsatsen från följande frågeställningar:-Vilka behandlingsmetoder för alkoholmissbruk diskuteras i tidskrifterna?-Hur problematiserar tidskrifterna kring olika behandlingsformer?-Hur lyfts för respektive nackdelar för behandlingsformerna upp?-Vad väljer tidskrifterna att lyfta fram i debatten kring alkoholvården? Som metod används kritisk diskursanalys för att synliggöra diskurserna i tidskrifterna. Analysen av tidskrifterna grundar sig på en analysmodell efter diskursanalytikern Fairclough och används främst för att synliggöra hur tidskrifterna förhåller sig till uppsatsens diskursordning. Diskursordningen som används är baserad på aktuell litteratur kring alkoholmissbruksbehandling och innefattar tre diskurser: Psykologisk, psykosocial och farmakologisk.Resultaten i uppsatsen visar att den psykosociala diskursen är dominerande i de båda tidskrifterna men att även den farmakologiska diskursen nämns. De behandlingsmetoder som tas upp är i de båda tidskrifterna kognitiv beteendeterapi (KBT) och motiverande samtal. Vidare visa uppsatsen att Socionomen efterfrågar en mer strukturerad, organiserad och evidensbaserad alkoholbehandling i allmänhet. Alkohol & Narkotika å andra sidan ifrågasätter den formella vårdapparaten kring alkoholmissbruk och beskriver den som otillgänglig och bristfällig. Som alternativ för att högkonsumenter av alkohol ska få tidig hjälp tar tidskriften upp olika självhjälps metoder grundade på KBT och motiverade samtal.
In Sweden, the treatment of alcoholism can be shaped in many various and separate ways. The subject of area contains various opinions regarding what treatment would be the most correct or effective. The aim in this essay is to look closer at the discourse of how the treatment of alcoholism may work in Sweden today. This will be done by closer examine the magazines, Socionomen and Alkohol & Narkotika, that are large papers within the practice of social work. To achieve the aim, this essay will start out from the following questions of issue:- What methods of treatment are discussed in the two magazines?- How do the magazines questions the various treatments? - How are the advantages and disadvantages in the different treatments highlighted?- What chooses the magazines to highlight in the debate of alcohol treatment?As the method, to make the discourses in the magazines visible, a critical analyze of discourse is being used. The analyze of the magazines is based on a model of analyzing by the discourse analyzer Fairclough, and is mainly used to make the magazines relations to the essay’s system of discourse visible. The system of discourse that is being used is based on actual literature in the area of treatment of alcohol addiction and contains three different discourses: psychological, psychosocial and pharmacological.The conclusion of this essay shows that the psychosocial discourse is the dominating discourse in both of the magazines but that the pharmacological discourse also is mentioned. The methods of treatment being raised in the magazines are cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing. Further more the essay shows that the paper Socionomen generally asks for a more structured, organized and evidence based treatment of alcoholism. In the other hand, the magazine Alkohol & Narkotika questions the formal care unit’s treatment of alcohol abuse and describes it as inaccessible and insufficient. As an alternative this magazine highlights the methods of self- help based on cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing so that those that are high consumers of alcohol will get help at an earlier stage of their abuse.

Abstract:
This is an exploratory, qualitative study of homeless, recovering alcoholics and the problems they encounter maintaining sobriety. Using semi-structured interviews, I analyze the experiences of ten men in their forties, who are in a recovery program designed for homeless men. I ask them how they stay sober without a place to live. Three kinds of problems are inferred from their narrative histories. First, the men have difficulty identifying as alcoholics. They have trouble fully integrating into the AA program. Second, the men struggle to form relationships with others, especially with a sponsor. Third, the process of "working the steps" is adapted complexly, more than in a normal twelve-step setting. The findings indicate that homeless men face special barriers to achieving and maintaining sobriety. I conclude by discussing the larger implications for sobriety, homelessness and social change within this community.

Abstract:
Sons of male alcoholics (SOMAs) are at increased risk for the development of alcoholism, and are apparently characterized by other abnormalities. It is possible that one or more of these abnormalities might serve as a marker for the alcoholic predisposition. Research described in this thesis, conducted in the hopes of identifying such a marker, was designed (1) to separate the relative pharmacological and psychological effects of acute alcohol intoxication upon neuropsychological functioning; (2) to investigate the neuropsychological function of SOMAs with a multigenerational family history of male alcoholism; (3) to examine the relationship between SOMAs' neuropsychological function and their cardiovascular hyper-reactivity to threat of and aversive stimuli; and (4) to investigate the relationship between a number of cardiovascular response patterns and voluntary weekly alcohol consumption. These studies are linked conceptually, within the context of a general theory of information-processing and action.

Abstract:
The treatment of alcoholism has had a unique historical development in the United States. This study provides a chronology of how the problem of alcoholism was defined and handled during various time periods in United States history. The process that evolved resulted in an abstinence based, comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach to the treatment of alcoholism as a primary disease based on the principles of Alcoholics Anonymous. This treatment modality, that developed outside of established medicine, is currently used by the majority of treatment providers. Seven individuals who have been actively involved in alcoholism treatment were interviewed. In addition to archival research, biographies and autobiographies were examined to gain a broad perspective. Because alcoholism is both a collective and an individual problem an effort was made to include a microsociological frame of reference within a broad sociological view. Alcoholism, or inebriety, was first perceived as a legal and moral problem. By the end of the 19th century, inebriety was recognized as an illness differing from mental illness, and separate asylums were established for its treatment. Alcoholism is currently accepted and treated as a primary disease by the majority of social institutions, but the legal and moral implications remain. National Prohibition in the early part of the 20th century targeted alcohol instead of the alcoholic delaying any progress toward treatment which was made in the 19th century. The advent of Alcoholics Anonymous brought the first widely accepted hope for alcoholics. The treatment process that developed utilized the principles of Alcoholics Anonymous in a setting of shared recovery which has been difficult to quantify. In 1970 the allocation of federal funds for treatment and research brought the involvement of new disciplines creating both conflicts and possibilities. Alcoholism recovery has elucidated the connection of mind, body, and spirit.

Abstract:
The purpose of this research project was to explore the structural variables of hierarchical reversals, cross generational coalitions, cohesion, and adaptability as they were manifested in families with an alcoholic member, families with a recovered member, and non-alcoholic families. One hundred and twenty-five families responded to written questionnaires including The Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scales (FACES III), the Madanes Family Hierarchy Test (MFHT), and a Demographic Questionnaire. Adult participants also completed the Michigan Alcoholism Screening Test (MAST) to ensure that control families had no potentially alcoholic members, as well as ensuring that recovered families had no actively addicted members. Information was obtained on age, ethnicity, educational employment status, family income, and the sex of participating children, to ensure that the three groups were demographically comparable. The statistical analyses confirmed structural family therapy theory and the current research on alcoholic families. The results further expanded the understanding of the nature of coalitions and hierarchical reversals as they were manifested in these samples.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to build upon a conceptual model of the alcoholic family system. The variables investigated were: differentiation of self, as represented by quantity and quality of involvement with family of origin; and nuclear family structure, as represented by hierarchy and primary coalition types. These variables were chosen in order to provide some theoretical understanding of how alcoholism is both maintained and transmitted by family systems. Forty-two families in which the father was an alcoholic took part in this study. Both the alcoholics and their spouses completed an abbreviated form of the Personal Authority in the Family System Questionnaire (PAFS-Q), the Family of Origin Involvement Questionnaire, and the Madanes Family Hierarchy Test. At least one child from each family also completed the Madanes Family Hierarchy Test. Chi-square test results indicated that these families reported significant amounts of hierarchy reversal, nonmarital primacy, and nonaverage contact with family of origin. When compared to norm group scores on the PAFS-Q, alcoholic subjects and their spouses indicated more nuclear family triangulation, intergenerational fusion, and intergenerational triangulation. Pearson Product-Moment Correlation results indicated that nuclear family triangulation was related to intergenerational fusion, presence of hierarchy reversal, and nonmarital primacy. For alcoholics only, more time spent recovering, more contact with parents, nonmarital primacy, and more intergenerational triangulation were related. These study results were interpreted as supporting a developmental model for the maintenance and transmission of alcoholism in the family. Clinical implications include the necessity of doing family of origin work with alcoholic families as well as the importance of including as many members as are willing in family therapy.

Abstract:
This thesis studies the relationship between subjective experience and social environment during recovery from alcoholism in Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). As a result of participation in AA meetings, many alcoholics undergo healing transformations involving a sense of acceptance of themselves, others and the world. In early sobriety these experiences often remove an alcoholic’s desire to drink. Outside AA, however, alcoholics frequently experience subjective unravelling – a sense of conflict with themselves, others and the world. For many, this subjective state is associated with actual or potential craving for a drink. Regular participation in AA meetings alleviates these states. This thesis construes the relationship between subjective experience and immediate social environment in terms of ‘experiential stakes of relevance’. This conceptual category can be used to characterise both the structural properties of the social environment and the key attributes of the subjective experience of agents within this environment. Listening to stories at AA meetings results for many alcoholics in a radical change in ‘experiential stakes of relevance’. It is argued that the process of spontaneous re-connection with one’s past experiences during AA meetings is akin to the process of mobilisation of embodied dispositions as theorised by Bourdieu. Transformation in AA takes place in the space of a mere one and a half hours and involves processes of intensification of experience. These are analysed in terms of Bourdieu’s notion of ‘illusio’ and Chion’s notion of ‘rendu’. The healing experiences of acceptance presuppose a social environment free of interpersonal conflict. This thesis argues that the need to structurally eliminate conflict between alcoholics has turned AA into a social field which is sustained by the very healing subjective experiences that it facilitates. In the process, AA has developed structural elements which can best be understood as mechanisms inverting the social logic of competitive fields. The fieldwork entailed a detailed ethnographic study of one particular group of Alcoholics Anonymous in Sydney’s Lower North Shore as well as familiarisation with the more general culture of AA in Sydney. Methods of investigation included participant observations at AA meetings and interviews with a number of sober alcoholics in AA.

Abstract:
This dissertation seeks to address the societal problems associated with alcohol abuse and alcohol dependency in relationship to problematic depictions that have appeared on the American stage. It examines plays that perpetuate stigmas as well as plays that seek to subvert stigmas and stereotypical depictions as a means of creating avenues for discourse. This study asks how we, as practitioners of the theatre, can use the theatre and the act of storytelling to initiate empathy and compassion toward what is still considered a marginalized topic of discussion. Cultural misconceptions regarding the development of and (mis)understandings of alcohol abuse/dependency are perpetuated in our everyday lives, and theatre too often falls into the trap that perpetuates false ideas, which only furthers the stigmas and stereotypes associated with alcoholism. Preceded by a brief Introduction that sets the tone for this study, Chapter One offers medical information to delineate terms associated with alcohol use/abuse. UNIT TWO, presented in two chapters, offers analyses of seven plays: Thornton Wilder's Our Town, Eugene O'Neill's Long Day's Journey into Night, Christopher Durang's The Marriage of Bette and Boo, Theresa Rebeck's The Scene, Paula Vogel's How I Learned to Drive, Tracy Letts' August: Osage County, and Stephen Adly Guirgis' The Motherfucker With the Hat. Chapter Two focuses on the first four plays of this list and how each presents a particular problematic and/or stereotypical depiction of an alcoholic character(s) and/or alcohol use/abuse; Chapter Three focuses on the three remaining plays, which offer depictions and/or characters that trouble/complicate the stigmas associated with alcohol abuse/dependency. UNIT THREE is also cast in two chapters: Chapter Four looks at practices and theories used to enhance audience engagement and introduces companies who are using theatre to directly confront issues of alcoholism. Lastly, Chapter Five is a preface for my own full-length play (provided in Appendix A), which acts as my contribution to the ongoing conversations and efforts to diminish the stigmas and stereotypes within alcohol abuse/dependency. The dissertation concludes with a summary and a look at how open conversations regarding alcohol abuse/dependency can lead to empathy and understanding, bringing the topic out from the shadows in an effort to humanize the topic and the individuals and families who are struggling and suffering from alcohol abuse/dependency.

Abstract:
Abstract: Prior research indicates a growing number of Children of Alcoholics (CoAs) in Sweden, and increased levels of externalizing behaviours in these individuals. According to international research, externalizing behaviours as criminality are more often displayed in CoAs than children with non-alcoholic parents. CoAs are also more often treated for panic attacks, depression and post-traumatic stress. The assumption is that high risk parents often have high risk children. With the aim to investigate the relationship between parental alcoholism and youth criminality in Sweden a systematic literature review has been conducted. Five databases were used to find relevant publications; Libsearch, Swesub, Eric via Ebsco, ProQuest and Google Scholar. A total of 530 texts were scanned and 17 studies eligible to inclusion were read and analysed according to PRISMA, a preferred reporting system of literature reviews. Inclusion criterions were; Sweden as geographical area, attention on children and young adults aged 13-25 years and a focus on parental drinking and youth criminality. The publications were also to be peer reviewed and published between 1998 and 2018. Results indicate a significant correlation between parental drinking and youth criminality in Sweden. CoAs display externalizing behaviours as aggression, conduct disorders, antisocial behaviour and criminality more often than children without alcoholic parents. It can be concluded that research on the field of CoAs is not the most researched in Sweden but in line with international findings and would benefit from further attention so we in the future can work with preventive measures based on solid knowledge.

Abstract:
The aim of this research was to develop guidelines for after-care services for rehabilitated alcoholics, in order to render a more effective support service towards the rehabilitated alcoholic on his way to full recovery. The necessity of the research project originated on account of a lack of knowledge among social workers on the need of the rehabilitated alcoholic towards after-care service and the specific nature that after-care services have to contain. A literature overview of after-care services was given to the alcoholic, as a background for the empirical study of the project. The literature study showed that after-care services as an integral part of the total rehabilitation of the alcoholic is conceptualized. Further out of the literature came to light that social workers have a resistance against the delivering of after-care services and that they experience feelings of discourage regarding the alcoholic. The empirical study confirmed that social workers experience resistance against giving after-care services to rehabilitated alcoholics. Further they don't consider this as part of their task and they give a low priority towards the rendering of after-care services. In spite of this, the necessity of after-care services is being realized by the social workers. Alcoholics who are standing on the point of being discharged from the rehabilitation center have a need for after-care services to help them adapt in the community. They especially have a need for individual contact with a professional person and do not want to be part of only a self-help group. Among the alcoholics who are already functioning in the community after treatment, the particular need of the female alcoholic came forward. This group feels that their family and spouse do not truly have an idea of their needs. Further there was a need among the rehabilitated alcoholics to know who will be responsible for their after-care services. This group would have wanted to be prepared on possible risky situations and ways of handling these situations. The research showed that there is a shortcoming in the practice concerning the rendering of aftercare service. Guidelines were formulated from which more effective after-care services could be given to rehabilitated alcoholics.

Abstract:
Las enfermedades hepáticas por alcohol son una de las mayores causas de mortalidad y uno de los principales motivos para el trasplante de hígado en Europa y Norte América. La hepatitis alcohólica (HA) es un episodio agudo que aparece en pacientes con una enfermedad hepática alcohólica. Las formas severas de la HA tienen una mayor mortalidad a corto plazo, además estos pacientes tienen una respuesta insuficiente a los tratamientos actuales. La patofisiología de la HA está caracterizada por: infiltrado de células inflamatorias, daño hepatocelular, esteatosis, fibrosis, reacción ductular y colestasis, aunque mucho aspecto son todavía desconocidos. Los microRNAs (miRNAs) son moléculas de RNA no codificantes para proteínas, que tienen aproximadamente 22 nucleótidos. Son reguladores post-transcripcionales de la expresión génica uniéndose al RNA mensajero por complementariedad de secuencia. Son capaces de inhibir la traducción a proteína o de provocar la degradación del RNA mensajero. Cada miRNA es capaz de unirse a varios RNA mensajeros diana, pero a su vez cada RNA mensajero puede estar siendo regulado por diversos miRNAs. La expresión global de miRNAs y de genes es contexto dependiente, siendo diferente en cada tipo celular, tejido o condición fisiológica. Esta ampliamente descrito que existe una desregulación de la expresión de los miRNAs en prácticamente todas las enfermedades en las que se han estudiado. El objetivo de esta tesis doctoral era identificar los miRNAs más relevantes en la fisiopatología de la hepatitis alcohólica y evaluar su función. Esta tesis doctoral muestra que la HA está caracterizada por un importante cambio en la expresión hepática de los miRNAs. Mediante array de miRNA se analizó la expresión en hígado de pacientes con HA respecto a individuos controles. Se identificaron 117 miRNAs desregulados. Seguidamente se realizó una comparativa del perfil de miRNAs en la HA con los perfiles de otras enfermedades hepáticas crónicas para identificar miRNAs específicamente desregulados en la HA y por tanto potencialmente involucrados en aspectos propios de la fisiopatología de la HA. Hemos identificado 18 miRNAs desregulados específicamente en la HA. A continuación, gracias a un análisis integrativo de la expresión de miRNA y la expresión génica identificamos que los genes potencialmente regulados por los miRNAs están involucrados en el metabolismo y el transporte de los ácidos biliares. De entre los miRNAs específicamente desregulados en la HA hemos identificado al miR-182 por su alta expresión en los pacientes con HA y posteriormente mostramos la correlación de su expresión con parámetros clínicos, con índices de severidad de la enfermedad hepática y con una mayor mortalidad. Posteriormente evaluamos la expresión del miR-182 en varios modelos animales que representan características clave de la HA como fibrosis, endotoxemia, inflamación, toxicidad por alcohol o reacción ductular. Nuestros resultados mostraron que el miR-182 está principalmente sobreexpresado en un modelo animal con reacción ductular y colestasis, además de estar principalmente expresado por las células de la reacción ductular. Consecutivamente, se realizó un estudio in vivo de pérdida de función del miR-182 en un modelo de reacción ductular y colestasis. Nuestros resultados revelaron una bajada del contenido hepático de ácidos biliares, una bajada de las transaminasas hepáticas y una menor expresión de genes de mediadores inflamatorios. Por otro lado, se estudiaron in vitro los efectos de una sobreexpresión del miR1-82 en diversos tipos celulares. Este estudio mostró que la sobreexpresión del miR-182 tiene mayor impacto sobre colangiocitos provocando una mayor expresión de mediadores inflamatorios. En cambio los efectos sobre hepatocitos y macrófagos fueron menores. Conjuntamente estos resultados sugieren que el miR-182 está involucrado con el daño colangiolar y la inflamación hepática. Seguidamente, se estudió el papel del miR-155, un miRNA ampliamente descrito por su relación con el sistema inmune y las células inflamatorias. La expresión hepática del miR-155 se encuentra sobreexpresada en el hígado de pacientes con HA, así como en el hígado de pacientes con hepatitis autoinmune (HAI). Sorprendentemente encontramos una reducción de la expresión del miR-155 en las células inflamatorias circulantes de los pacientes con HA y con HAI. A continuación, evaluamos el efecto de la deficiencia del miR-155 en dos modelos animales de daño hepático bien diferenciados. En el modelo de intoxicación por paracetamol no observamos cambios significativos en los animales deficientes en el miR-155. En cambio, en un daño por concanavalina los animales deficientes en miR-155 mostraron un mayor nivel de transaminasas hepáticas y mayor expresión de citoquinas proinflamatorias. Además observamos una reducción del reclutamiento de células CD4+CXCR3+, que podrían representar células T reguladoras infiltradas. Consecutivamente realizamos un trasplante de medula ósea capaz de expresar el miR-155 en animales deficientes; estos animales mostraron una reducción de la expresión de los mediadores inflamatorios, así como menor muerte hepatocelular. Todos estos resultados muestran que la restauración de la expresión del miR-155 en las células inflamatorias podría ayudar a aliviar el daño hepático. En conclusión, esta tesis doctoral demuestra que existe una desregulación hepática de los miRNAs y que esta desregulación está relacionada con la fisiopatología de la enfermedad, revelando así que los miRNAs son potenciales diana terapéuticas en el tratamiento de las enfermedades hepáticas en general y la HA en particular.
Alcoholic hepatitis (AH) develops in patients with underlying ALD and heavy alcohol intake and has a high short-term mortality. The pathogenesis of AH is still poorly understood; it is characterized by inflammatory cell infiltration, steatosis, fibrosis, ductular reaction expansion and cholestasis. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNA known to participate in the regulation of important pathophysiological pathways in liver diseases. The main aim of this doctoral thesis was to identify the most relevant miRNAs in the pathophysiology of the AH and evaluate its function. Our results reveal that in the liver of AH patients there are an important dysregulation in the miRNA expression, as compared to normal liver. In addition, 18 miRNAs were found specifically expressed in AH compared to other chronic liver diseases. Furthermore, functional analysis of the potential target genes of these miRNAs showed its involvement in the metabolism and transport of biliary acids. We selected miR-182 since it was the most highly expressed miRNA in AH. The miR-182 showed a positive correlation with severity scores and with short-term mortality. miR-182 is mainly expressed in an animal model of ductular reaction and colestasis; and is mainly expressed in ductular reaction cells. In vivo study of loss-of-function of miR-182 shows a decrease in liver damage, bile acid contents and a reduction in the expression of inflammatory mediators. In addition in vitro studies overexpressing the miR-182 showed a high impact in human cholangiocytes. Subsequently, we evaluated the role of miR-155, a miRNA widely described to be involved with the immune system. Hepatic expression of miR-155 was found to be overexpressed in AH patients, and also in Autoimmune Hepatitis (AIH) patients. Surprisingly, the expression of miR-155 in circulatory inflammatory cells was underexpressed. Next, we evaluated the deficiency of miR-155 in animal models. Concanavalina treatment, a model for AIH, was evaluated. miR-155 deficient animals showed high liver damage and overexpression of inflammatory mediators. Interestingly, these animals had a lower recruitment of CD4+CXCR3+ cells. Subsequently, we restore the expression of miR-155 in the inflammatory cells through bone marrow transplant. We achieved a reduction in the expression of inflammatory genes and hepatocellular damage. Altogether, these results show that restoration of miR-155 on inflammatory cells might alleviate liver damage. In conclusion, thesis demonstrates that there is a hepatic dysregulation of the miRNAs and that this deregulation is related to the pathophysiology of the disease, thus revealing that the miRNAs are potential therapeutic targets in the treatment of liver diseases in general and specifically in AH.

Abstract:
Alcohol use disorders are common and make a significant contribution to the burden of disease throughout the world. This is especially true among the younger age groups. Although these disorders are common, evidence suggests that those affected do not seek help for their disorders. In order to understand this, reviews of the treatment literature and the epidemiological data on prevalence and correlates of alcohol use disorders and treatment seeking are presented. These reviews confirm that effective treatments exist and that screening in primary care can be efficacious. The reviews also highlight deficits such as the need for more epidemiological evidence on the validity of DSM definitions of alcohol use disorders and for more Australian data on the prevalence and correlates of the disorders and related treatment seeking. This thesis sets out to address these deficits applying sophisticated statistical techniques to data from a large nationally representative Australian sample. A confirmatory factor analysis of the eleven criteria that specify alcohol dependence and abuse examined the validity of DSM-IV definitions of alcohol use disorders and the best solution was found to be a single factor, not two as currently defined. These findings question the bi-axial nature of alcohol use disorders that has underpinned their definition since the publication of DSM-III-R in 1987. Data from this national sample also confirm that, in line with research from other western countries, Australians have high levels of alcohol use disorders, especially amongst males and younger people. Also no association was found between alcohol dependence and treatment seeking, and young people were least likely to seek treatment. However, a relatively large proportion of young people who drink had been in contact with their GPs in the past year; demonstrating that there is ample opportunity for screening and referral for treatment for alcohol use disorders in this vulnerable group. This research has found that although alcohol disorders are not necessarily associated with disability, there are those who can benefit from treatment. It suggests that outcomes for such individuals may be improved by better specification of disorders as well as improved access to best treatments.

Abstract:
El alcohol que consumimos (etanol) es un conocido teratógeno. En aquellas mujeres embarazadas es capaz de cruzar la barrera placentaria perturbando el desarrollo del feto. Los desordenes relacionados con el etanol (DRAF), son la tercera causa de retraso mental en el mundo, y entorno al 2% de los nacimientos en el mundo sufren DRAF. En esta tesis se describen dianas moleculares por las cuales la exposición a etanol puede estar alterando el desarrollo del Sistema Nervioso Central (SNC), en procesos celulares como la organización y dinámica del citoesqueleto de actina. En un modelo in vitro de Síndrome Alcohólico Fetal (SAF) hemos observado que el etanol provoca reorganizaciones en el citoesqueleto de actina, a través de alteraciones en la vía de señalización RhoA y en el ciclo de generación de los fosfoinosítidos. Paralelamente, hemos descrito potenciales agentes terapéuticos capaces de mitigar estos efectos nocivos del etanol en las células. Uno es el ácido lisofosfatídico que consigue normalizar la vía RhoA y los niveles de fosfoinosítidos, otorgando a la célula una correcta organización del citoesqueleto de actina. El segundo son agrupaciones de 2 o 3 átomos de plata, que tienen propiedades citoprotectoras sobre cultivos celulares expuestos a etanol, debido a que son capaces de electrooxidar el etanol utilizando el potencial de la membrana celular.
The alcohol that we consume (ethanol) is a well-known teratogen. In pregnant women it is able to cross the placental barrier disrupting fetal development. Fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD), are the third leading cause of mental retardation in the world, and around a 2% of the whole births suffer from FASD. This thesis describes molecular targets by which ethanol exposure may be altering the development of central nervous system (CNS), in cellular processes as the organization and dynamics of the actin cytoskeleton. In an in vitro model of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) we have observed that ethanol causes rearrangements in the actin cytoskeleton, through alterations in the RhoA signaling pathway and the generation cycle of the phosphoinositides. In parallel, we have described potential therapeutic agents able to mitigate these adverse effects of ethanol on the cell cultures. One is the lysophosphatidic acid that regularize the RhoA pathway and phosphoinositides levels, giving the cell a proper organization of the actin cytoskeleton. The second are groups of 2 or 3 silver atoms (AgAQCs), which have cytoprotective properties in cell cultures exposed to ethanol, because they are capable of using the cellular electrical potential to electrocatalyze ethanol oxidation.
