This report presents a profile of the membership of the International Society for Plastination (1987-2013). From an initial membership of 60, the International Society for Plastination (December, 2013), has 205 members from 43 countries. Although the number of members did fluctuate from year to year, there was a net growth in the society membership. In the 2013 roster of members, 81% of members have done plastination while 19% have not. Members classified their laboratories as being small in 55% of responses while 35% stated they had medium size laboratories and only 9% of members considered their laboratories to be large.

Painting of neurovascular structures has been used to highlight these structures to facilitate the study of anatomy. Previously at the University of Michigan, neurovascular pathways of plastinates were painted with Tamiya ® Acrylic paints using conventional application with a brush. With continued handling over time, significant deterioration of the paint was observed. It was believed that the paint chipped off because the silicone surface did not provide adequate adhesion for the paint. Therefore, this project was designed to test new products and new application methods that might improve survival of the highlighting product when applied to the plastinated neurovascular pathways. Various products (paints, solvents, and base coats) and methods were selected for testing. Of these, acrylic paint applied to the specimen prior to catalyst (CT 32, Dow Corning) and application of ethyl silicate (Silbond-40 ® ) over the paint, provided a strong and durable paint that could withstand vigorous handling.

Coloration is helpful in bringing differentiating characteristics to human plastinates in order to provide a more effective teaching model. Following the cold-temperature Biodur ® S10 technique, a pigmented mixture was added to the musculature, veins and arteries of a fully plastinated human upper extremity, revealing effective and durable visual results. Various methods, testing steps, durability testing and sample tissues were used in defining the final paint solution. The end result was a durable and aesthetically pleasing teaching specimen and the discovery of an easily-followed coloration technique to be used on plastinated specimens.

Here we describe plastination of a bowfin fish (Amia calva) and post-plastination dissection of the plastinate conducted to expose the articulation between the skull and pectoral girdle and the individual elements of the pectoral girdle. The specimen produced during this project demonstrates that useful anatomical relationships can be revealed by dissection after the plastination process has been completed.

The standard method for plastination with Biodur TM S10/S3 involves low- temperature dehydration in a volatile intermediary solvent followed by forced impregnation under vacuum at -15°C. However, some institutions have been reluctant to install low-temperature impregnation equipment because of health and safety and cost considerations. The aim of this study is to investigate a low-budget and simple to set up room temperature plastination procedure to prepare neuroanatomy teaching resources. Previous studies at St George's, University of London have shown that a low-temperature dehydration/ room temperature impregnation protocol for Biodur TM S10/S3 can produce results comparable, if not equal, to the standard method. Fifty- four formaldehyde-fixed brain slices were dehydrated in acetone at -30° C and vacuum impregnated at room temperature. Twenty slices were stained with Mulligan's stain before plastination. The slices were measured before dehydration and after impregnation to monitor shrinkage. Shrinkage was acceptable (6.99% in lengths and 6.19% in widths) in both stained and unstained slices, and did not detract from the appearance of the slices. The stain has thus far not faded on exposure to light. Therefore, this procedure can be used to plastinate brain slices with quality comparable to low temperature plastination, which further extends the potential applications of room-temperature plastination.

The plastination process using vacuum impregnation replaces tissue fluids with curable polymers and results in dry, non-toxic specimens. We detail a method to produce high quality plastinated specimens using an injection impregnation process. This alternate, non- vacuum method is very low-tech and has minimal start-up costs. We were able to successfully use this technique on small vertebrates ranging from 1 to 700 grams. The plastinated specimens were life-like and the natural contours of the animals were maintained. Dissection revealed polymer had penetrated throughout the viscera and deep muscles. In addition, internal morphology including major muscle groups retained their shape with no apparent shrinkage.

Division of Anatomical Sciences, Office of Medical Education The University of Michigan Ann Arbor USA ABSTRACT: Plastination has enhanced the way students study human gross anatomy by providing them with three-dimensional specimens that they can hold and manipulate. These specimens allow students to learn gross anatomy, especially difficult areas, more efficiently. However, the intricacies of organ function in life are is still difficult to understand from dissected specimens. At the University of Michigan Medical School, innovative approaches to enhance the quality of plastinated specimens have been implemented to demonstrate complex anatomical features. The heart is a particularly difficult organ for students to,visualise because of the unique changes it undergoes during systolic and diastolic phases of the cardiac cycle. The aim was to develop a plastinated heart model that demonstrates how cardiac valves function during the systolic and diastolic phases. Five hearts were collected from cadavers, dissected and plastinated. Various incisions in the heart were made to reveal the cardiac valves. Corks, sutures, and hinges were used to position and to hold the valves in place either in its contracted state (systole) (2 out of 5 hearts) or in its relaxed state (diastole) (3 out of 5 hearts). A pilot survey was administered to get students’ feedback on these plastinated models. The results indicate that a majority of students favor this novel animated model as it displays both systolic and diastolic phases while keeping superficial structures of the heart intact.

A.H. Weiglein Institute of Anatomy Medical University of Graz Graz, Austria ABSTRACT: During an educational demonstration of the P35 technique, brain slices which had been immersed in P35 resin and stored in a cold room (5° Celsius) for approximately two years were used. The resin was very viscous and it was difficult to remove the steel basket containing the brain slices from the container of resin. There were technical difficulties during the manipulation of the slices: slices were brittle and fragile, filter paper spacers were stuck to the specimens, curing had begun where the slice touched the grid and gel-like resin remnants were stuck on the metal grids. Despite the very long immersion period and the problems encountered, the final specimen was satisfactory from an optical point of view.
