Hair Examination and Hair Diseases
MUDr. M. Arenbergerová, PhD.
Hair is composed of strong structural protein called keratin. This is the same kind of protein that makes up the nails and the outer layer of skin.

PICTURE
Each strand of hair consists of three layers.An innermost layer or medulla which is only present in large thick hairs. The middle layer known as the cortex. The cortex provides strength and both the color and the texture of hair. The outermost layer is known as the cuticle. The cuticle is thin and colorless and serves as a protector of the cortex.
PICTURE
•Hair can absorb water, fluids or chemicals•Hair can be coated with different materials
PICTURE
Dermal papilla
At the base of the hair follicle is the dermal papilla. The dermal papilla is feed by the bloodstream which carries nourishment to produce new hair. The dermal papilla is a structure very important to hairgrowth because it contains receptors for male hormones and androgens. Androgens regulate hairgrowth and in scalp hair Androgens may cause the hair follicle to get progressively smaller and the hairs to become finer in individuals who are genetically predisposed to this type of hair loss.

•Medical history•Lost hair count•Traction test•Trichogramm (hair pluck test)•Mycological examination•Biopsy•Hormonal examination•Microscopic examination of hair structure•Digital Phototrichogramm
Hair
•Number of hairs: 100 000 – 150 000•Density: 175-300/cm²•Thickness: 0,1-0,25 mm•Hair growth: 0,35 mm/day (1 cm per month)•Hair lost: 25-100/den•Hair can grow: 12-84 cm in length•Hair growing: 90-95 %•Hair resting: 5-10 %

anagen 2-6 years 80-90%

Androgenetic alopecia (AGA)• Most frequent disease of hair follicle• 50 % men > 40 is affected with MAGA• 50 % women > 50 is affected with FAGA
PICTURE
• Genetic disposition (polygenic inheritance x
• AD heredity?)
• Androgen level (1 % free androgen, 99 % bound to plasmatic proteins)
• Number of androgen receptors
• Age (higher age: physiologic lost of hair follicle density)
Androgenetic alopecia-ethiology
79 % SHBG
20 % albumin
0,5 % CBG50 % more androgen receptors than women
SHBG: sex hormone-binding globulin, CBG: steroid hormone receptors
Hair follicle-androgen metabolism
testosterone (T) dihydrotestosterone (DHT)
5 alpha-reductase
3x higher content of 5 alpha reductase
PICTURE
3x higher content of 5 alpha- reductase
PICTURE
Effect of androgens on hair follicles
• Binding of androgens to androgen receptors on follicle keratinocytes
• Active complex
• Active complex migrates to cell nucleus
• Modificated protein synthesis in cells
• Different dynamics of hair cycle in hair follicle
• Reduction of anagen phase
• Regressive metamorphosis
Regressive metamorphosis
Hair follicles sensitive to DHT begin to miniaturize, shortening the lifespan of each hair follicle affected. Eventually, these affected follicles stop producing cosmetically acceptable hair.

Vlasový cyklus u AGA
•Anagen 2-7 years•In MAGA anagen phase shortens from years to months•Telogen phase is expanding•Anagen/telogen ratio changes form 6 to 8 : 1 to abnormal ratio 0,1 to 3 : 1 •Finally the anagen phase is so short, that the hair doesn´t reach the skin surface - alopecia
Follicle miniaturization
•Change of follicle structure: follicle miniaturization
•Terminal hair becomes thin, short, velus-like
Diagnostics
•Traction test +/-•Trichogram, fototrichogram•Histological examination•Hormonal examination
man: T, DHT, SHBGwoman: T, DHT, SHBG, prolactin, follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), dihydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), dihydroepiandrosterone-sulphate (DHEAS), +/-cortisol. Examination: 3.-5. day of menstruation cycle, min. 3 month after stop of contraceptives
Diagnostics-women
•Family history•Gynecological history•Pharmacological history
•Examination:
Signs of hirsutism, acne, hypetrichosis, seborrheatumors, hormonal syndromes
SAHA syndrome (female hyperandrogen syndrome):•seborrhea•acne•hirsutism•alopecia AGA (mamle type of AGA)

Symptoms of TN include:hair that breaks easily, patches of hair loss or extremely short hair, thickened or thinned areas along the hair shaft,chronically split ends with whitish discoloration.hair straightening, overheating by a hair dryer, frequent swimming in chlorinated water
Trichotillomania
Trichotillomania: obscessive pulling out of own hair.

Alopecia areata• Autoimunne disease• Polygenic inheritance• Focus: chronic infection• More frequent in chromosomal defects (chromosome
21)• metabolic x emotional influence?
Pathogenesis
• Cell lymphocyte cluster around affected anagen follicles, causing inflammation
• Relase of cytotoxic substances• Apoptosis of hair follicle keratinocytes• Toxic disruption of hair follicle• Telogen phase prolongation• Exclamation mark (!) type of hair

• Not painful
• Fall out over a short period of time
• Frequent association with asthma bronchiale, atopic dermatitis, hypothyroidism

Trichoscopy
• trichoscopy shows regularly distributed "yellow dots" (hyperkeratotic plugs), small exclamation-mark hairs, and "black dots" (destroyed hairs in the hair follicle opening)
Trichoscopy is method of dermoscopy for visualization of scalp at 10 to 70-fold magnification.
Therapy
PICTURE
Therapy
•Spontaneous regression•Corticosteroids•Immunosupressants•Diphenylcyclopropenone (diphencyprone)
Diphencyprone •Acts as a local irritant, triggering a local sensitization •Triggers an immune response that opposes the action of the autoreactive cells that otherwise cause hair loss •Regrowth of 40% pts. at 6 months, being sustained in two thirds of these after a 12-month-follow up-period
