[A new ovulation inhibitor antiandrogen]

[Article in Spanish]

Millet-part A, Blanes-espi A, Ferrer-barriendos J, Siqueira L, Acosta E.

PIP: Cyproterone acetate (Androcur), a potent progestagin and antigonadotropin, has been widely used in Europe in treatment of hirsutism, seborrhea, and alopecia. A formulation combining an estrogen, ethinyl estradiol (EE), to neutralize the progestational action and consequent amenorrhea of Androcur is marketed under the name of DIANE. 3 different treatment protocols were tested: 1) continuous administration of Androcur at doses varying from 25-150 mgr with rests every 3 months 2) high dose combination of 50 mgr Androcur and .05 mgr of EE in 21 day cycles and 3) low dose combinations of 2 mgr Androcur and .05 mgr of EE in 21-day cycles (DIANE). 54 patients who received the DIANE combined low dose treatment were compared. 7 of them had previously received the cyproterone acetate in variable doses of 25-150 mgr/day for 3-10 cycles, 16 had previously taken cyproterone acetate in variable doses of 50-150 mgr/day for 3-14 cycles, followed by the high dose combined method for 3-12 cycles and DIANE for 1-7 cycles, and 15 patients had previously received the high dose combined method for 2-22 cycles followed by DIANE for 3-7 cycles. Among the 54 patients there were 10 cases of idiopathic hirsutism, 11 of suprarenal hirsutism, 25 of ovarian hirsutism, 2 of iatrogenic hirsutism, 24 of acne, 37 of seborrhea, and 10 of alopecia. No pregnancies were reported in patients exposed to risk of pregnancy who took a total of 96 cycles of DIANE or 55 cycles of the high dose combination. Continuous dose cyproterone acetate is usually associated with amenorrhea. The high dose combination induces amenorrhea in up to 20% of cases, while with DIANE the principal change is a diminution in the amount of bleeding. Cyproterone acetate alone or associated with androgens is the preferred treatment for androgenic manifestations. The therapeutic regimen should be adapted to the predominance, time of evolution and severity of symptoms. For moderate or serious hirsutism, the treatment should be continuous administration of high doses of cyproterone acetate for 6 months followed by the combined method at high doses according to the type of initial response. When acne and seborrhea predominate, the combined low-dose method is used, because even though the high dose continuous method gives better results, the secondary effects do not justify its use. The high dose continuous method can be chosen if the low dose combined method fails. The high dose combined method is preferred for alopecia, with the low dose combined method used for maintenance.

[Hair loss during treatment with oral contraceptives]

[Article in French]

Lehucher-ceyrac D, Weber-buisset, Puissant A.

Oral contraceptives with a dominant androgen component can cause or worsen androgen-dependent alopecia in women. This diagnosis can only be made if other causes of alopecia (which can occur at the same time as treatment with oral contraceptives) have been excluded. The patient's endocrine profile must be investigated sometimes, this being in order to detect any excess production of androgens. These types of alopecia call for the stopping of the oral contraceptive and sometimes also calls for oral anti-antigen treatment.

BACKGROUND: Androgenetic alopecia remains the most common cause of male pattern baldness (MPB) in all races. The prevalence of MPB in Caucasians is well documented. The prevalence of MPB in Asians is believed to be very low, only one-fourth to one-third on average compared to Caucasians. However, according to my previous study, there is a clear trend indicating that it is approaching that of Caucasians. OBJECTIVE: To assess the prevalence of MPB in the Asian population in Bangkok, Thailand; to compare this prevalence to previous studies conducted on Asians; and to compare the results to previous studies conducted on Caucasian. METHODS: This study was conducted by two physicians and assisted by two registered nurses. The questionnaire included age, sex, Norwood classification, diet, family history of baldness, income, and education. The physicians examined the scalp of each interviewee upon completion of each questionnaire. The ethnic focus group in this study was Thai and Chinese who reside in Bangkok, Thailand. The interviews were conducted in hospitals, nursing homes, classroom, medical meetings, temples, parks, and villages. RESULTS: A total of 1124 men were randomized in this study. The prevalence of cosmetically significant MPB (Norwood III-VII) was 38.52% and steadily increasing with age, approaching that of Caucasians. Variant MPB was found to be 0.67% and other types of androgenetic alopecia was 0.6%. From an ethnic point of view, the majority of the groups were of mixed blood and mostly of Chinese origin, thus we were unable to distinguish between Chinese and Thai. CONCLUSION: This study shows that the prevalence of MPB in Asians is not as low as previously thought. The cause of this increasing prevalence is uncertain. There are no past studies in Thailand for comparison, however, it can be extrapolated that the socioeconomic environment and westernized diet may contribute to this prevalence.
