Low dosage retinol and L-cystine combination improve alopecia of the diffuse type following long-term oral administration.

In a pilot study (I) the efficacy of a new combination therapy for hair loss of the diffuse type was tested in 36 patients, followed by a double blind study with 47 patients. The daily dosage was 18,000 IE retinol, 70 mg L-cystine. The clinical efficacy was evaluated by standard methods, such as the preparation of trichograms and measurement of the hair density before and after treatment. The pilot study demonstrated a significant improvement, with reduction of the telogen rate by 8.3%, an increase of the anagen rate by 11%, and an increase of the hair density by 6.9%. In the double blind study (II) the trichogram showed a significant decrease of the telogen rate by 13.5% compared with pathological baseline values. There was no change in the placebo group. The lowered anagen rate of 47.2% was improved by 8%, whereas the mean value in the placebo group decreased from 47.7% to 39.9%. In addition, the percentage of dysplastic anagen hairs improved by 7.4%, as against further impairment with an increase of 26% in the placebo group. During oral therapy no systemic side-effects were detected. We conclude that long-term oral therapy with high doses of L-cystine in combination with vitamin A may have beneficial effects on diffuse hair loss.

Zinc deficiency in human subjects.

During the past two decades, the essentiality of zinc for man has been established. Deficiency of zinc in man due to nutritional factors and several diseased states has been recognized. High phytate content of cereal proteins decreases availability of zinc; thus the prevalence of zinc deficiency is likely to be high in a population subsisting mainly on cereal proteins. Alcoholism is known to cause hyperzincuria and thus may play a role in producing zinc deficiency in man. Malabsorption, cirrhosis of the liver, chronic renal disease and other chronically debilitating diseases may similarly induce zinc deficiency in human subjects. A severe deficiency of zinc has recently been recognized to occur in patients with sickle cell anemia and a beneficial effect of zinc therapy in such patients has been reported. Growth retardation, male hypogonadism, skin changes, poor appetite, mental lethargy and delayed wound healing are some of the manifestations of chronically zinc-deficient human subjects.

Alopecia and periorificial dermatitis in biotin-responsive multiple carboxylase deficiency.

Three siblings with infantile-onset biotin-responsive multiple carboxylase deficiency is described. Recognition of the characteristic dermatologic manifestations, alopecia and periorificial dermatitis, should result in early diagnosis and institution of potentially lifesaving therapy with biotin. Other metabolic disorders may present a similar clinical picture. Immunologic dysfunction and/or aberration in lipid or branched chain amino acid metabolism may be the common pathophysiologic link in some or all of these disorders.

Possible biotin deficiency in adults receiving long-term total parenteral nutrition.

Two adult patients receiving total parenteral nutrition on a long-term home basis presented with severe loss of hair. Both patients had extensive gut resection, consumed no biotin orally and received no biotin parenterally. Supplementation with Berroca-C, one ampule containing 200 micrograms biotin per day resulted in gradual regrowth of healthy hair. The patients now receive a parenteral solution containing biotin and have shown no recurrence of alopecia. It is suggested that biotin deficiency can occur in the adult when no preformed biotin is provided to the body and the contribution of this vitamin from intestinal microbial biosynthesis is compromised.
