脱发的原因与治疗进展

荣子

SHIRLEY GRIFFITH: Scientists are not exactly sure what causes alopecia areata. It is not clear why the body's white blood cells begin to attack the cells in the hair follicles. There is no cure for the disease and no effective treatment that works for everyone.
In twenty ten, researchers at Columbia University Medical Center in New York reported findings that they hope will help lead to a cure. The researchers found eight genes they believe may be important in causing the condition. They said many of the genes are also linked to autoimmune diseases. These include rheumatoid arthritis, type 1 diabetes and celiac disease, a condition that affects the digestive system.
科学家不太明确是什么导致脱发，也不太清楚为什么人体内白细胞开始攻击毛囊里的细胞，没有治疗该病的方法也没有有效的适用于每个人的方法，在哥伦比亚大学的医学研究中心的研究人员发布了一个他们希望会引向有效疗法的研究结果。该结果认为有他们认为8个可导致该病的重要基因，这些基因与自身免疫病有关，这些免疫病包括风湿性关节炎，1型糖尿病，腹痛病（一种影响消化系统的病）。
There are already effective t，reatments available for many of these conditions. Other treatments are being developed. The researchers say these treatments could prove to be promising for alopecia patients.
已经有许多有效的疗法可用于多数这类病，其它疗法也在发展中，研究员说这些疗法对脱发病人也很有前景。
JUNE SIMMS: Angela Christiano is a professor at Columbia University Medical Center. She also suffers from alopecia areata. She says the study gives hope that there may someday be a cure for the condition.
Angela说，她也遭受脱发，她说这个研究使某天脱发可治疗的愿望有了希望。
The researchers studied one thousand fifty four cases from the The National Alopecia Areata Registry. They looked for similarities in the genes that people with different levels of alopecia carry. They found that those with thirteen to fourteen similar genes had diseases that did not progress. Those with sixteen or more similar genes usually progressed to alopecia universalis, or total baldness.
研究员研究了1054例脱发，他们寻找不同程度脱发的人在基因上的共通点，他们发现有13－14个相近基因者会有不进展的脱发，16－17的通常有大面积脱发或全秃
The researchers hope to develop a genetic test to predict the severity of the disease. Professor Christiano says the next step is to repeat the study in future research, with a larger number of patients.
研究员希望开发一种基因监测来预测将来脱发的严重性，Christiano说将重复实验进一步研究，并研究让更多的患者。

我用了无数的药，都不管用，还是植发吧
