One of the human structures. Belongs to the ear. Part of the auricle, below the helix.

(1) Name of anatomical site. The soft part of the lower end of the spiral. Also known as earrings and earlobe beads.

② External acupoints. There is a "stabbing method". At the midpoint before the earlobe. Indications: locked furuncle, etc. Puncture 0. 1 inch, or puncture bleeding.

Earlobe earlobe and disease

The so-called oblique wrinkles on the earlobe are the oblique wrinkles that appear on the earlobe.

The oblique wrinkles of earlobe are divided into three degrees, and the I-degree wrinkles are not obvious, and the surface is shallow and thin; The second-degree wrinkles are obvious, as deep as 1 mm, and the wrinkles are as long as the whole earlobe; Third-degree wrinkles are very prominent, the depth exceeds 1 mm, the edges are separated, and there is usually a parallel wrinkle.

Oblique wrinkle of earlobe is an external feature of patients with coronary heart disease proposed by Frank in 1973. Many scholars have studied it and think it is a meaningful marker for predicting atherosclerosis. Observing the oblique wrinkles of earlobe can be used as a simple method to screen coronary heart disease in a large number of people. It was also found that the chromosome 1 1 was abnormal.

Only 2 1% of healthy people have third-degree wrinkles, while 62% of patients with angina pectoris and 80% of patients with myocardial infarction. Oblique wrinkles in the earlobe are also closely related to age. For example, among healthy people under 40 years old, only 9% have oblique wrinkles in their earlobes, 30% in 40-49 years old and 50% in 50-59 years old.

66% are 60-69 years old. Oblique wrinkles in the earlobe of patients with myocardial infarction also increase with age. Some young patients with myocardial infarction also have many oblique wrinkles in their earlobes.

Experts have used cardiovascular angiography to prove that the degree of oblique wrinkles in patients' earlobes is closely related to the damage of coronary arteries. They also found that when patients suffer from chronic coronary insufficiency and low physical load tolerance, 97% patients have oblique wrinkles on their earlobes, 25% patients have ⅲ wrinkles, while only 70% patients with high physical load tolerance have oblique wrinkles on their earlobes, and most of them are.

L-2 wrinkles. The obvious degree of oblique wrinkles in earlobe is also related to the blood cholesterol content of patients with myocardial infarction. The higher the cholesterol content in the blood, the more obvious the oblique wrinkles in the earlobe.

Anatomically, the whole ear is dominated by the second and third cervical nerves and the fifth, sixth, ninth and tenth cranial nerves. As for the relationship between oblique wrinkles of earlobe and ischemic heart disease, according to Dany, some current observation results are consistent with acupuncture clinical data. Some people think that it can be explained by the role of auricular acupuncture in China, because the oblique wrinkles of earlobes are exactly the corresponding points of the heart on the auricle according to the local images of auricular acupuncture. We think it can be better explained by "biological holographic law". Therefore, it is scientific to find coronary heart disease by using oblique wrinkles of earlobe. In the general survey of a large number of people, it is a simple and effective method to observe the oblique wrinkles of earlobe as a clue to find coronary heart disease.

Earlobe plastic surgery

Earlobe plastic surgery is aimed at earlobe deformity. Earlobe deformity is usually not very noticeable, and it can often be covered by hair. Only when you notice the earlobe intentionally or unintentionally will you find it. Nevertheless, the deformity of the earlobe still brings distress to many beauty lovers. So, what are the types of earlobe deformities, or what types of earlobe deformities can be repaired or reshaped by surgery?

Earlobe deformity is generally divided into earlobe adhesion, earlobe fissure, earlobe oversize or missing. These kinds of earlobe deformities can be corrected by surgery to achieve a more beautiful appearance. Some people think that the earlobe is too small or too sharp, and it can also be corrected by surgery.

Earlobe plastic surgery does not require special preoperative preparation. If the earlobe is adhered or cracked, it should be cleaned before operation to remove the dirt that may be hidden in the depression and reduce the chance of postoperative infection.

Earlobe plastic surgery is a local operation, and most of the incisions are on the earlobe, and some may add auxiliary incisions below or behind the earlobe. It is worth noting that the earlobe is a common part of keloids. If it is a scar constitution, earlobe surgery should be avoided.

The following briefly introduces the repair methods of various earlobe deformities in turn:

1, adhesion of earlobe. Most of them are caused by spontaneous scar healing after burns and trauma. When the earlobe is pulled down or backward, obvious scars can be seen. The scar should be completely released during the operation. If there is any defect, mastoid flap can be used to repair it, and the postoperative appearance should be more natural.

2. The earlobe is cracked. Most of them are caused by pulling earrings violently. It can be seen that the middle and lower leaves are vertically divided into two parts. The operation can be directly sutured, and attention should be paid to prevent postoperative uterine contraction. This method is simple and effective, but it needs to be punctured again after operation. In addition, a narrow flap can be designed at the edge of the wound to form an ear hole, and the lower layer can be sutured. This method requires high technology.

3, the earlobe is hypertrophy. Most of them are congenital. At present, there is no recognized diagnostic standard. It is generally believed that the earlobe is too large or incongruous with the auricle, and the operation method is relatively simple. It can be crescent-shaped, wedge-shaped or partially removed from the side to reduce the earlobe, all of which can achieve satisfactory results.

4, the earlobe is missing. It may be congenital or it may be caused by trauma. Some people just don't have obvious earlobes that are too small. Some people may not have earlobes at all. Posterior auricular mastoid flap can be used during operation, and the shape design is the key point. It can also be repaired by skin flap and skin graft. In order to prevent the reconstructed earlobe from collapsing after operation, the operation can be divided into two stages: the first stage is to implant flaky auricular cartilage, and the second stage is to reconstruct the earlobe by pulling the flap.

Earlobe earrings are popular

With the popularity of earrings, more unique earrings have appeared in the market, which has become another way for a new generation of young people to express themselves, and streets can be seen everywhere.

People with different earlobes

Most people in the world wear ear holes and earrings, but the indigenous people in gilbert islands in the western Pacific are not like this. Women here never get their ears pierced or wear earrings, while men wear earrings in two ear holes. The earrings they wear are neither earrings nor earrings, but flowers and leaves are inserted in the ear holes.
