Disappearance of pili annulati following an episode of alopecia areata.

Pili annulati is a distinctive autosomal dominant hair shaft disorder that produces alternating light and dark bands that can give a spangled appearance to the hair. The literature contains three case reports of patients in whom the condition has disappeared following recovery from alopecia totalis. None of these reports contain a direct microscopic comparison of pre- and post-regrowth hairs. We report a 6-year-old girl who was first noted to have pili annulati at the age of 2 years and who developed alopecia totalis at the age of 3 years. When the hair regrew spontaneously, 18 months later, the pili annulati was no longer visible. Hair samples obtained before and after the episode of alopecia areata were compared by normal and cross-polarized light microscopy. While not apparent on careful clinical examination, banding was present on light microscopy in 20% of the hairs. Eighty per cent of the affected hairs displayed banding throughout their entire length. In contrast, prior to the episode of alopecia totalis, when the pili annulati was clearly visible, 50% of the hair obtained was banded on microscopy and 90% of the affected hairs showed banding throughout their microscopic length.

Severe bone changes in a case of Hutchinson-Gilford syndrome.

The Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) is a very rare, but well known inherited condition of uncertain etiology in which features of premature and accelerated aging are mixed with those of delayed maturity and immaturity. Appearance at birth and birth weight are usually normal but growth typically slows after 1 year. All organ systems undergo degeneration to such an extent that the patient resembles an old man or woman. Short stature, micrognatia, alopecia, sculptured nose, prominent scalp veins, loss of subcutaneous fat, prominent joints, hyperlipidemia and early arteriosclerosis characterize the syndrome. Skeletal compromise includes hypoplasia and dysplasia, persistent open fontanelles, severe osteolysis and pathological fractures. There are no intellectual deficits in patients with this syndrome, and intelligence is unaffected. The life span in progeria is shortened by early arteriosclerosis. In this case, we review the characteristics of the severe osteolytic compromise in distal arms and limbs and bone deformities in a case of an 8-year-old girl, who was admitted to our hospital with short stature and loss of hair. On examination, the child had the major clinical criteria for HGPS as well as severe alterations in osteogenesis, including craniofacial disproportion, short and sculptured nose, delayed dentition, severe scoliosis, clavicular deformity and asymmetrical and hypoplastic arms and legs. Generalized osteopenia and severe osteolytic compromise in distal extremities were found by X-ray examination. In summary, we report the case of an 8-year-old girl who meets the diagnostic criteria for HGPS with severe involvement of her bones and joints with a review of the current literature and a possible therapeutic approach.

[Dense-packing hair grafting technique for restoration of cicatricial alopecia]

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the possibility of using dense-packing hair grafting technique for restoration of cicatricial alopecia. METHODS: Under local anesthesia, a scalp strip was harvested from the back of the head. A series of micro-grafts with 1-3 hairs and mini-grafts with 4-6 hairs were created from this strip. In the scarring recipient area, micro-slots were made with a 18 G needle for the micro-grafts and mini-slits were made with a No. 64 mini-blade for the mini-grafts. The grafts were then implanted into these holes. RESULTS: Ninety-six patients with 128 bald scarring areas, resulted from burn, trauma or infection, were treated with the above-mentioned technique from April. 1998 to February. 2000. All of the patients were satisfied with the appearance. In the micro-graft area, the graft density reached 10-15 mini-grafts/cm2 per session. In the micro-graft area, the graft density reached 16-19 micro-grafts/cm2 per session. Postoperative following-up for more than 1 year showed that the grafted hairs were growing well with 90%-95% survival of the hair. One third of the patients obtained satisfactory results with only one session. Two thirds of the patients needed the second session to improve the appearance. CONCLUSIONS: The dense-packing hair grafting technique is a simple, safe and effective method for hair restoration surgery. It is not only used for male pattern baldness, but could also be applied for restoration of cicatricial alopecia.

Lo and behold! Baldness is indeed a visible problem, and an increasing concern in the currently aging society.
Numerous anecdotal cases have demonstrated that this herbal formula based on Chinese herbs actually improves the age-related hair thinning and hair loss for a significant fraction of people who take it diligently. The mechanisms of action as to how Hair Million herbs stop hair loss, and promote hair growth, is still not understood due to the lack of scientific research nor placebo controlled clinical trials.
