2‐deoxy D‐glucose treatment does not elicit a hair growth response in alopecia areata

2‐deoxy D‐glucose (2DG) was tested for efficacy in treating alopecia areata using the C3H/HeJ skin graft model. 2DG has proven to be efficacious in treatment of various mouse models of autoimmunity with minimal serious side effects noted. This agent has been shown to normalize abnormally activated T‐cell populations while also preventing cell surface expression of NKG2D; key factors defining alopecia areata disease progression. Daily oral ingestion of 2DG via drinking water to mice with patchy or diffuse alopecia areata for 16 weeks failed to prevent expansion of alopecia or cause regrowth of hair in treated mice. Histologically, there were no differences between treated and control groups. These results indicate that, while 2DG is effective for some autoimmune diseases, it was not efficacious for the cell‐mediated autoimmune mouse disease, alopecia areata.

人毛乳头细胞条件培养液治疗斑秃的临床观察

目的：人毛乳头细胞条件培养液治疗斑秃患者的临床观察。方法：用人毛乳头细胞条件培养液治疗100例斑秃患者，并分别选择其中53例和30例作去炎松组和空白组自身对照。结果：人毛乳头细胞条件培养液组、去炎松组和空白组治愈率分别为75％、51％、10％，有效率分别为97％、72％、30％，人毛乳头细胞条件培养液组其治愈率和有效率均明显高于去炎松组和空白组（P〈0．05）。结论：人毛乳头细胞条件培养液对斑秃患者有明显的治疗作用。     

Protection against cyclophosphamide-induced alopecia by sulfhydryl-containing agents in the newborn rat animal model

Background Alopecia is a common side-effect of cancer chemotherapy. Although this complication has been known for many decades, little progress has been made in its prevention or treatment. Previously, we made the following observations: ( a ) treatment of 8-day-old rats with 1-0-n-arabinofuranosylcytosine (ara-C), doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide (CYC) produced either total body alopecia (ara-C and CYC) or alopecia confined to the head and proximal part of the neck (doxorubicin); ( b ) Imuvert, a biological response modifier, and interleukin-1 protected against alopecia-induced by ara-C; and (c) neither Imuvert or interleukin-1 protected against CYC-induced alopecia. Objective Experiments were designed to test for agents to protect against CYC-induced alopecia. Methods Agents were tested in the 8-day-old rats as a model for chemotherapy-induced alopecia. Results Mesna and S-2-(3-aminopropylamino)-ethylphospnorothioic acid (WR-2721) did not offer any protection against chemotherapy-induced alopecia. N-Acetylcysterine offered very good protection against alopecia induced by CYC but not that produced by ara-C in the newborn rate animal model. Conclusion N-Acetylcysteine may prove to be important in the prevention of CYC-induced alopecia, but this needs to be tested in the clinical setting.
