Declarations
:
: All animal experiments were conducted according to the guidelines of “Regulations on the administration of laboratory animals of Xiamen University” and approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee of Xiamen University (ethics approval number XMULAC20190002). Because the structure of the sebaceous glands in rabbit ears is similar to that of humans, rabbits were selected as experimental animal model. All animals were raised in the Laboratory Animal Center of Xiamen University (Natural light, constant temperature 24℃). In order to reduce the pain of the rabbits, they were euthanized by intravenous air injection before sampling. Clinical study was conducted by Xiang 'an Hospital of Xiamen University approved by Medical Ethics Committee of Xiamen University (Ethic Number: XDYX202305K24).
