Variety of determinants in an adrenal antigen common to man and some animals.
Heinonen E.
Precipitating adrenal antibodies are specifically associated with the moniliasis-polyendocrinopathy syndrome. This may include several simultaneous autoimmune disorders such as Addison's disease, hypoparathyroidism, thyroiditis, pernicious anaemia and ovarian failure often combined with moniliasis and alopecia. The antibodies react with two adrenal specific antigens present in man and in different animals. One of these antigens designated S-(soluble) antigen is present in all subcellular fractions and the other designated P-(particulate) antigen was found in precipitable form only in the mitochondrial fractions. Rabbits immunized with bovine adrenal homogenate and different subcellular fractions, produced three to four adrenal specific antibodies, which were qualitatively identical. The corresponding antigens were designed as S1-S4, one of which (S4) was strictly specific for bovine tissue. S1-, S2- and S3-antigens were identical in bovine and ovine adrenals, whereas a partial reaction of identity was found between ruminants and the S1- and S2-antigens of all other species tested. The S1- and S2-antigens seem to contain a variety of determinants, some common to all the species studied and some limited to certain species only. Of the four S-antigens only one (S1) in rabbits, was found to contain autoantigenic determinants. Comparative studies with sera from patients with the moniliasis-polyendocrinopathy syndrome indicate, that this molecule is the one with which human and rabbit antisera react.

Combination chemotherapy ("CHOP-Bleo") in advanced (non-Hodgkin) malignant lymphoma.
Rodriguez V, Cabanillas F, Burgess MA, McKelvey EM, Valdivieso M, Bodey GP, Freireich EJ.
Forty-seven adults with advanced malignant lymphoma (the majority in stage IV) were treated with a combination of cyclophosphamide, hydroxyldaunorubicin (Adriamycin), vincristine (Oncovin), prednisone, and bleomycin (CHOP-Bleo). The complete remission (CR) rate was 66%. The overall response (complete + partial remission) was 92%. The CR rate in patients with diffuse histiocytic lymphoma (DHL) was 69%. Only 3 of the 18 patients with DHL in CR have relapsed; the projected median duration of response was calculated to be greater than 2 yr. In patients with nodular poorly differentiated lymphocytic lymphoma (NPDL), the CR rate was 62%. One of the eight patients with NPDL in CR has relapsed; the projected median duration of complete response will be greater than 4 yr. The median survival for all patients entered in this study has not been reached; however, it was estimated that it will be greater than 3 yr. The survival curves became flat at 70 wk for the patients with DHL and at 1 yr for the patients with NPDL. Major complications during chemotherapy with CHOP-Bleo were myelosuppression and alopecia. Only six severe infections occurred during myelosuppression. No hemorrhagic problems were observed. This study indicates that combination chemotherapy with these agents is effective in increasing the CR rate and survival in patients with diffuse histiocytic lymphoma. In patients with NPDL, further observation will be needed to assess the effect of this combination on survival.

Studies on an adrenal antigen common to man and different animals.
Heinonen E, Krohn K.
Precipitating adrenal antibodies, originally described by Andrada et al., are often associated with patients suffering from the moniliasis-polyendocrinopathy syndrome. The syndrome may include contemporarily several organ-specific autoimmune diseases such as hypoparathyroidism. Addison's disease, thyroiditis, pernicious anaemia, gastritis and ovarian failure and often combined with moniliasis and alopecia. These antibodies seem to differ from those demonstrable by immunofluorescence (IFL) and complement fixation. This conclusion was made as the titres of immunofluorescence antibodies did not correlate with the presence or absence of precipitating antibodies (Krohn et al., Clin Immunol Immunopathol 3:59-68, 1974; Heinonen et al., Ann Clin Res 8:262-265 1976). In this study we describe the subcellular localization and distribution of the precipitable adrenal antigens within some animal species. We found two precipitable adrenal antigens; one of them, designated P-antigen (particulate), was found in precipitable form only in the mitochondrial fractions, and the other, designated S-antigen, could be found in all subcellular fractions of some animal species. Bovine and equine S-antigen could be fractionated on a Sephadex G-200 column, revealing also the soluble nature of the S-antigen. The human S-antigen seemed to differ from the animal S-antigen as in addition to one common antigenic determinant (Sc), the human S contained a second determinant (Sh) not present in the animals. There was no difference in the antigenic character of the P-antigen within different species, although this conclusion is mainly based on the absorption studies.

Hair growth is a sophisticated biological process, which is still not thoroughly understood. A multitude of therapeutic measures, including drugs, surgery, and suppelements have been made available, and used. However, due to the diversity of the problems underlying hair loss, there is no single solution for all hair loss cases. Most of chemical drugs and hair transplantation surgeries are not free from varying degrees of undesirable side effects on health.
We only know by anecdotal observations. There has been no clinical trials nor placebo controlled statistical analysis on the efficacy of Hair Million on hair loss and hair growth.

DHEA has been suggested to provide numerous potential benefits. DHEA (or dehydroepiandrosterone) is converted into androgens (male hormones)
or estrogens (female hormones) in the cells.
