The results are presented of a double-blind therapeutic trial of hydroxocobalamin and riboflavine in Nigerian patients suffering from a degenerative neuropathy. Although no benefit from either vitamin was demonstrated, this may reflect the inadequacy of the dosages used. The results are discussed in relation to the hypothesis that dietary cyanide and cyanogens are responsible, at least in part, for the occurrence of this disease in a malnourished population.
本文呈现了在患有退行性神经病变的尼日利亚患者中进行的一项关于羟钴胺素和核黄素的双盲治疗试验的结果。尽管未证明这两种维生素有任何益处,但这可能反映出所用剂量不足。本文结合以下假说对结果进行了讨论:饮食中的氰化物和含氰化合物至少在一定程度上是导致营养不良人群中出现这种疾病的原因。
