We researched into the dissipative characteristic of human auricular points in 40 cases of myopia. The logZ-logf curve of the dissipative characteristic of the otopoint is similiar to the dermal alpha-Dispersion in 1-100 kHz of the alternating electric field. The dissipative effect of the otopoint is generated mainly by the skin of the body surface. The characteristic frequency f0 has intimate relation to patholgic change, correlation coefficent r approximately 0.8. The f0 has characteristic reflecting pathologic change, P < 0.01. The relexation time tau signifies the space constructive characteristic of the tissue. So we suppose that the otopoint and its characteristic reflecting pathologic change essentially relate to the change of biological macromolecule conformation of the dermatic tissue under acupoint.
