Pseudofolliculitis barbae. No 'pseudoproblem'.

Conte MS, Lawrence JE.

Pseudofolliculitis barbae possibly affects 45% of all black servicemen and is a source of much misunderstanding and social unrest in the military. A recent study of 96 cases of pseudofolliculitis barbae has elucidated a successful shaving technique. It employs a 30-day period of beard regrowth to eliminate ingrown hairs, twice-daily use of a new polyester skin-cleansing pad, and use of solely electric hair clippers for facial hair removal. Ninety-six percent of those using this technique could thereafter conform to the Air Force grooming code.

Five-chlorodeoxycytidine and biomodulators of its metabolism result in fifty to eighty percent cures of advanced EMT-6 tumors when used with fractionated radiation.

PURPOSE: To extend our findings in previous radiation and biochemical studies with five rodent tumors, in which we used one and occasionally two or three irradiations. The extent of control of the EMT-6 mammary adenocarcinoma was determined using fractionated radiation (12 irradiations) over a 3-week period using the radiosensitizer 5-chloro-2'-deoxycytidine (CldC) and biomodulators of its metabolism: N-(Phosphonacetyl)-L-aspartate (PALA), tetrahydrouridine and 5-fluoro-2'-deoxycytidine (FdC). METHODS AND MATERIALS: Mammary adenocarcinoma EMT-6 tumors implanted 1 week prior to therapy in BALB/c mice were subjected to single daily doses of focused radiation, not exceeding a total of 60 Gy, on days 2-5 of each week. N-(Phosphonacetyl)-L-aspartate (PALA) was administered on the first day of therapy. Five-fluoro-2'-deoxycytidine and CldC were administered in the morning and afternoon, respectively, of the next 2 days, and CldC was administered on the fourth day. Tetrahydrouridine was always coadministered with FdC or CldC. Drug and radiation treatments overlapped for 3 weeks. RESULTS: Fifty to 80% cures (usually 70%) were obtained with no apparent morbidity and the same moderate weight loss that occurs with radiation alone. Neither tumor regrowth delay nor cures were obtained with drugs or radiation alone. An apparent threefold dose increase effect was obtained with the end point: "days to reach 4 times initial tumor volume." Increasing the radiation dose threefold (without drugs) resulted in four out of five deaths; increasing the dose twofold (without drugs) resulted in extensive weight loss and hair loss in the entire ventral area and no cures. Increasing the dose of drugs or radiation 1.5-fold, in the complete protocol, did not result in increased morbidity. Comparative studies with Iododeoxyuridine demonstrate the heightened efficacy of CldC. CONCLUSIONS: One cannot achieve the same results obtained with CldC and the modulators by merely increasing the dose of radiation. There is a significant window of safety in this approach. The evidence we have obtained with EMT-6, the fifth rodent tumor we have studied with CldC, as well as the demonstrated and proposed reasons for its superior efficacy over 5-Iododeoxyuridine (and 5-Bromodeoxyuridine), drugs in current use, indicate that CldC will allow more aggressive treatment of human tumors with radiation than is now feasible.

Shave excision of benign papular naevocytic naevi.

Hudson-Peacock MJ, Bishop J, Lawrence CM.

Department of Dermatology, Royal Victoria Infirmary, Newcastle upon Tyne, UK.

Patients frequently request removal of benign papular naevi for cosmetic or functional reasons. Shave excision plus electrocautery is probably the most widely used method of removal, but this method is said to result in retained hair or pigment if deeply pigmented or hairy naevi are treated. In a prospective study, 82 benign papular naevi of all types were treated by shave excision using hot-wire electrocautery for haemostasis. Details of the naevi were accurately recorded before treatment and reassessment of shave sites carried out at 6-8 months. At review, a scar was visible at only 63% (52/82) of shave sites and all of these were cosmetically acceptable. Only 27% (15/55) of the initially pigmented naevi retained pigment and only 24% (5/21) of the initially hairy naevi regrew hair. Shave excision and electrocautery of benign naevi, including hairy and deeply pigmented ones, produce excellent cosmetic results. The patient must be warned that there is a potential risk of a scar or pigment remaining after shave excision of any naevus and for hair regrowth after shave excision of hairy naevi.
