A technique is described for quantitatively measuring the rate of cerumen production. Two different washing solutions were tried. A mixture of alcohol/ether (3:1 v/v) appeared to be the best extracting solution yielding 2.05 +/- 0.22 versus 0.73 +/- 0.14 mg/week per ear obtained with Triton X-100 solution. In addition, reproducibility was definitely better. Triton X-100 may be useful whenever microbiologic evaluations are requested. Total lipids accounted for 73.3% of cerumen extracted with the former solution, triglycerides being 19.5%, and cholesterol 7.2%. Our extracting technique appears to be a good estimate of the cerumen global output and may supply important information about cerumen in several biologic conditions.
本文描述了一种定量测量耵聍产生速率的技术。尝试了两种不同的清洗溶液。酒精/乙醚（3:1 v/v）混合物似乎是最佳提取溶液，每只耳朵每周产生2.05±0.22毫克，而用Triton X-100溶液获得的量为0.73±0.14毫克/周。此外，重现性肯定更好。每当需要进行微生物学评估时，Triton X-100可能会有用。用前一种溶液提取的耵聍中总脂质占73.3%，甘油三酯占19.5%，胆固醇占7.2%。我们的提取技术似乎能很好地估计耵聍的总体产量，并可能提供有关几种生物学条件下耵聍的重要信息。
