[Cerebrospinal fluid sorption in patients with heroin addiction].
The sorption of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) was attempted as a special detoxifying procedure in a group of sixty heroine addicts. CSF contents of cells, total protein, nucleic acids and interleukin-1 (IL-1), as well as acridine orange (AO) binding to CSF cells were determined before and after the procedure. The treatment provided immediate clinical improvement for 70% of the patients. Clinical effect was accompanied by decreased of CSF cells, diminished nucleic acids and protein amounts, along with increased DNA-AO binding and accumulation of IL-l. These data are interpreted in terms of intensive apoptosis of CSF cells and increased acute phase of aseptic inflammation-like events induced by the procedure of liquor sorption.
