Objective:To observe the effect of hair care products containing zinc pyrithione, pollen extract, sachitin and other ingredients assisted with finasteride in the treatment of androgenic alopecia.Methods:From June 2018 to February 2019, 60 male androgen alopecia patients aged 18-40 (30.85±4.73) years were enrolled in this study. 30 cases in each group were treated for 180 days, and finasteride 1 mg/day was taken orally in both groups. In the experimental group, on the basis of finasteride, hair care products containing zinc pyrithione, pollen extract, sachitin and other ingredients were used, while the control group was treated with common care products. The improvement of scalp and hair and the satisfaction of patients were evaluated before and after treatment.Results:After 180 days of treatment, the improvement of scalp oil ( t=2.744, P<0.05), pruritus ( t=2.574, P<0.05), dandruff ( t=2.579, P<0.05) and general sense of use ( t=2.134, P<0.05) in the experimental group were significantly better than those in the control group ( t=2.077, P<0.05). The hair density of the experimental group was significantly better than that of the control group ( P<0.05). The patients' satisfaction rates in the experimental group and the control group were 96.67% (29/30) and 83.33% (25/30), respectively; there was no significant difference between the two groups ( P>0.05). No adverse reactions were found in all patients. Conclusions:Hair care products containing zinc pyrithione, pollen extract, sachitin and other ingredients assisted with finasteride can improve the scalp oil, pruritus and dandruff of patients with androgenic alopecia, and can increase the curative effect of the treatment of alopecia of the patients.

Objective To analyse the routes and MRI characteristics of disseminated intracranial gliomas after operation. Methods 10 patients of intracranial gliomas confirmed by pathology and intracranial dissemination after operation underwent MRI examina-tions including T_1 WI, FSE T_2 WI, FLAIR and fat-suppressed T_1 WI after intravenous injection of Gd-DTPA. In addition, 4 cases were also examinated with DWI, 1 case with SWI and DTI. Results In 10 cases,there were glioblastoma in 7 cases,grade Ⅱ astro-cytoma in 2 and grade Ⅲ astrocytoma in one. The disseminated tumors were found by MRI in 4 to 56 months after operation. The le-sions in all patients were confirmed with the comparison of contrast-enhanced MRI positive signs between preoperation and post-operation. Plain MR scanning showed line-like thicking with isointensity in 1/7 case/time (C/T)and multiple noduli in 5/7 (C/T) on T_1 WI respectively;shallowed cortical sulci and cistern in 2/7(C/T) and nodular in 5/7(C/T) on T_2 WI;shaUowed cortical aulci and cistern in 2/7 (C/T) and nodular in 6/7(C/T) on FLAIR. The signal intensity of noduli of disseminated tumors in 7 cases were in complete consistency with that of primary neoplasm , however, in 3 cases, it was inconsistent. Enhanced scanning showed 7 ca-ses with the signs of line-like thicking, 7 cases with noduli , 6 cases with :cast-like shape" sign and 6 cases with different extent of hydrocephalus. Conclusion Enhanced MRI can be used as a most useful and reliable monitoring tools for detecting dissemination of brain glioma.
