The ceruminous glands have been studied histologically and histochemically in twenty patients suffering from chronic suppurative otitis media with discharging ears, and in ten patients with dry central perforations, in comparison with normal ears. The present study revealed hyperactivity of the glands initially; later on, atrophy and fibrosis took place. Thus the diminution of wax may be due to: (1) The washing effect of the discharge. (2) Atrophy of the glandular structures. (3) Periglandular fibrosis. As the discharge stops, regeneration of the glands occurs.
对20例慢性化脓性中耳炎伴耳流脓患者、10例干性中央穿孔患者的耵聍腺进行了组织学和组织化学研究，并与正常耳进行了比较。本研究最初发现腺体活动亢进；随后出现萎缩和纤维化。因此，耳垢减少可能是由于：（1）分泌物的冲洗作用。（2）腺结构萎缩。（3）腺周纤维化。随着分泌物停止，腺体发生再生。
