OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effective method to treat cicatricial baldness. METHODS: From 1993 to 1998, 21 cases with multi-region or great-dimensional cicatricial baldness were treated with scalp expanding and hair autografting. Among them, there were 17 males and 4 females, aged from 14 to 49 years old. The operation was divided into two stages, stage one meaned to embed the expander under the scalp and stage two meaned to sow the autogenous hair. RESULTS: All cases, no matter what the position and area, were repaired successfully. The biggest dimension of repaired baldness was 340 cm2, one expander exposed and one failed in expanding after operation and be corrected immediately. The normal hair direction changed in two cases. CONCLUSION: Combined use of scalp expanding and hair autografting is an effective method to treat multi-region or great dimensional cicarticial baldness.

Hereditary congenital baldness: a sex-linked trait in the domestic fowl.

Congenital baldness in the domestic fowl is a genetic condition in which small irregular skin areas are devoid of down feathers (and later definitive feathers) over one or both eyes and/or the center of the head. In this study, the expression of congenital baldness was quite variable and ranged in size from a few follicles to areas as large as 10 mm2. The area over the right eye and the center of the head was more frequently involved than was the area over the left eye. This condition was inherited as sex-linked recessive. The symbol ba was assigned to the gene, and it was shown to be linked to the sal locus by 7.6 to 8.2 crossover units. An unusual feature was that 5% to 13% of heterozygous males exhibited the trait.
