Background

The teaching of anatomy from early days of medical education relied on the use of cadaver; hence, the present study assessed the support for whole-body donation among academic staff.

Methods

This is a cross-sectional study conducted from January to March 2024 in Southwestern Ugandan medical educational schools among 160 academic staff. Ethical approval was obtained and structured questionnaires were distributed to study participants in the selected Medical Educational Schools.

Results

Among the 160 sampled academic staff, only 16 % and 18 % supported the donation of their whole-body and the bodies of their relatives/friends for anatomical education respectively. The reason put forward for respondents support for whole-body donation were contribution to medical science (88.5 %) and learnt from someone’s body (53.8 %). The fear of misuse of their body (42.5 %), cultural (53.7 %) and religious (44.8 %) belief were the reasons for non-support for whole-body donation among the study participants.

Conclusion

This study concluded that support for whole-body donation among academic staff was low; reasons for non-support were fear of misuse of body, religious and cultural beliefs; hence, we recommend the need for massive desensitization of the public aimed at building confidence on whole-body donation in the community.

背景从早期的医学教育开始,解剖学教学就依赖于尸体的使用;因此,本研究评估了学术人员对全身捐献遗体的支持情况:这是一项横断面研究,于 2024 年 1 月至 3 月在乌干达西南部的医学教育学校进行,共有 160 名教职员工参与。研究获得了伦理批准,并向所选医学教育学校的研究参与者发放了结构化问卷:结果:在抽样调查的 160 名教职员工中,分别只有 16% 和 18% 的人支持将自己和亲属/朋友的遗体捐献给解剖学教育。受访者支持捐献遗体的理由是对医学科学的贡献(88.5%)和从某人的遗体中学到知识(53.8%)。担心自己的遗体被滥用(42.5%)、文化信仰(53.7%)和宗教信仰(44.8%)是受访者不支持捐献遗体的原因:这项研究的结论是,学术人员对全身捐献的支持率很低;不支持的原因是担心身体被滥用、宗教和文化信仰;因此,我们建议有必要对公众进行大规模的脱敏教育,以在社会上建立对全身捐献的信心。

Background

The external auditory canal (EAC) exhibits a complex morphology and strong inter-individual variations. However, these have not yet been comprehensively described in the literature.

Purpose

This study aims to determine the width, height and cross-sectional area of the cartilaginous portion of the EAC and to describe the three-dimensional morphology and variability of different EACs.

Methods

Magnetic resonance imaging was performed on 870 subjects (401 male, 469 female, resulting in 1740 EACs) who participated in the longitudinal, population-based cohort study ‘Study of Health in Pomerania–START-3’. The height and width were measured in the cartilaginous part of the EAC, between the first and second bend. The variability of the EAC morphology was visualized in three-dimensional models.

Results

The mean height (vertical length) of the EAC was 8.62 mm (SD = 2.42) on the right, 8.47 mm (SD = 2.36) on the left. The width (horizontal length) was 4.08 mm (SD = 1.6) on the right, 3.93 mm (SD = 1.64) on the left. The EAC cross-section was 28.6 mm2 (SD = 15.19) on the right, 27.15 mm2 (SD = 14.33) on the left. The average cross-sectional area of the EAC in men was higher than in women. Subjects with larger body size had larger cross-sectional areas. Subjects with higher body mass index tended to have smaller cross-sections. Although the average EAC had an oval shape, a three-dimensional comparison of different EACs revealed strong individual variation in morphology.

Conclusion

This study enhances the understanding of otolaryngologists and anatomists regarding the complex morphology and variability of the cartilaginous portion of the EAC.

背景:外耳道(EAC)形态复杂,个体差异很大。目的:本研究旨在确定外耳道软骨部分的宽度、高度和横截面积,并描述不同外耳道的三维形态和变异性:对参加纵向人群队列研究 "波美拉尼亚健康研究-START-3 "的 870 名受试者(401 名男性,469 名女性,共 1740 个 EAC)进行了磁共振成像。EAC的高度和宽度是在第一弯和第二弯之间的软骨部分测量的。EAC形态的变化在三维模型中可视化:结果:EAC的平均高度(垂直长度)右侧为8.62毫米(SD = 2.42),左侧为8.47毫米(SD = 2.36)。宽度(水平长度)右侧为 4.08 毫米(SD = 1.6),左侧为 3.93 毫米(SD = 1.64)。EAC横截面右侧为28.6平方毫米(SD = 15.19),左侧为27.15平方毫米(SD = 14.33)。男性 EAC 的平均横截面积高于女性。体型越大,横截面积越大。体重指数较高的受试者横截面积往往较小。虽然 EAC 的平均形状为椭圆形,但不同 EAC 的三维比较显示其形态存在很大的个体差异:这项研究加深了耳鼻喉科医生和解剖学家对 EAC 软骨部分复杂形态和可变性的了解。

Background

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of root canal filling using different obturation materials combined with apicoectomy in upper central incisors under loading with 1 N and 100 N. The effect of incomplete root formation was also investigated.

Methods

Based on a CBCT-scan, a model of an upper central incisor was created. The model was altered to simulate different clinical situations: root canal treatment, apicoectomy at two different lengths and with different obturation protocols, and immature root formation after trauma. In each model the tooth was loaded with 1 and 100 N, and peak Von Mises stress of bone and tooth, elastic strain of the periodontal ligament, as well as rotation and displacement of the tooth were measured.

Results

Periapical surgery increases stress in dentin and the surrounding bone. Different obturation materials only produce minor differences in a coronally intact tooth.

Conclusions

Interincisal angle or loading direction strongly affects all measured values and needs to be considered when planning periapical surgery or comparing finite element analysis. Immature roots show the highest stress values in this study, reaching half the yield strength of dentine.

背景这项研究的目的是确定在 1 N 和 100 N 负荷下使用不同的封闭材料对上中切牙进行根管充填并结合根尖切除术的效果。方法根据 CBCT 扫描结果制作了上中切牙模型。根据 CBCT 扫描结果,制作了一个上中切牙模型,并对模型进行了修改,以模拟不同的临床情况:根管治疗、两种不同长度的根尖切除术和不同的封闭方案,以及外伤后不成熟的牙根形成。在每个模型中,牙齿分别承受 1 N 和 100 N 的负荷,并测量牙槽骨和牙齿的峰值 Von Mises 应力、牙周韧带的弹性应变以及牙齿的旋转和位移。结论根尖周手术计划或比较有限元分析时,需要考虑到根尖周角度或加载方向对所有测量值的重大影响。在这项研究中,未成熟牙根的应力值最高,达到牙本质屈服强度的一半。

Background

The ossification centers in rabbit limbs are related to fetal age and bone maturation. Objective: To address the limited studies on ossification in the hind limbs of New Zealand rabbits, we investigated the prenatal and postnatal development of the pelvic and femur bones.

Methods

Double staining with Alcian Blue and Alizarin Red, computed tomography (CT), and 3D reconstruction were employed to visualize and analyze ossification centers in detail.

Results

Using double staining, we observed these patterns: At prenatal days 18 and 21, ossification centers appeared in the ilium. By prenatal days 23 and 25, ossification began in the ischium. On postnatal day 1, ilium ossification centers spread across most of the ilium wings, except for the iliac crest, and new centers appeared in the pubis and cotyloid bones. Most bones had ossified by the third week and one month postnatal, except for the iliac crest and ischial tuberosity. At 1.5 months, both were fully ossified. On day 18 post coitum, an ossification center was visible in the middle of the femur shaft. By day 28 post coitum, ossification extended through the shaft, and postnatally, new ossification spots appeared at the extremities by day one and week one. By the third week, complete ossification of the femur head, lesser trochanter, third trochanter, medial condyle, and lateral condyle was observed. At 1.5 months, the entire proximal extremity was ossified.

Conclusion

3D CT provided clear imaging of ossification progression in the pelvic and femur bones. This study enhances our understanding of vertebrate skeletal development.

背景:兔四肢的骨化中心与胎龄和骨成熟度有关:兔子四肢的骨化中心与胎龄和骨骼成熟度有关:针对新西兰兔后肢骨化研究有限的问题,我们研究了骨盆骨和股骨的产前和产后发育情况:方法:采用阿尔新蓝和茜素红双重染色法、计算机断层扫描(CT)和三维重建技术来观察和分析骨化中心的详细情况:通过双重染色,我们观察到了这些模式:在出生前第 18 和 21 天,髂骨出现骨化中心。在出生前第 23 天和第 25 天,骨化中心开始出现在髂骨。在出生后第 1 天,髂骨骨化中心遍布除髂嵴外的大部分髂翼,耻骨和楔骨也出现了新的骨化中心。到出生后第三周和一个月时,除髂嵴和峡部结节外,大多数骨骼都已骨化。在 1 个半月时,这两块骨骼完全骨化。产后第 18 天,股骨柄中部可见骨化中心。出生后第28天,骨化延伸至股骨柄,出生后第1天和第1周,四肢出现新的骨化点。第三周时,股骨头、小转子、第三转子、内侧髁和外侧髁完全骨化。结论:三维 CT 提供了骨盆和股骨骨化进展的清晰图像。这项研究加深了我们对脊椎动物骨骼发育的了解。

To learn and comprehend the large amount of information in gross anatomy, undergraduate students must self-regulate their learning to be properly prepared for the exams within the available time. Even though there are many studies on learning strategies and their influence on test results and motivation, the aim of this study is to investigate characteristics of learning strategies in detail and in relation to the anatomy course of first semester students and how their use is related to anatomy test performance. For assessing the learning strategies, we used the short version of the questionnaire “Learning Strategies of University Students” (LIST-K) (Klingsieck, 2018). Further, we investigated potential influences of motivation and resources used during the self-regulated learning process. The participants in this study (N = 108) filled in the above-mentioned questionnaire LIST-K and a written multiple-choice anatomy test. A k-means cluster analysis revealed three groups of students differing in their self-reported use of learning strategies. Students used either (1) predominantly metacognitive and resource-related strategies, (2) predominantly cognitive strategies, or (3) no specific learning strategies at all. We found no significant overall relationships between the use of learning strategies and test performance. A stepwise linear regression identified the use of cognitive learning strategies (β =.269) as a significant predictor for test performance ( =.149, p =.003), possibly as these specific learning strategies help with a systematic and effective approach while studying anatomy and retrieving large amount of memorized information. Further, motivation was identified as a negative predictor (β = −.277), which might be a result of the short time periods students have to study for exams. Overall findings underline the importance of self-regulated learning as a positive predictor for academic performance. By understanding these factors, a more student-centered approach could be adopted by educators to improve medical education and equip students with valuable approaches for their continuous education, even beyond university.

为了学习和理解解剖学的大量信息,本科生必须自我调节学习,以便在可用的时间内为考试做好适当的准备。尽管有许多关于学习策略及其对考试成绩和学习动机影响的研究,但本研究的目的是详细调查学习策略的特点,并将其与第一学期学生的解剖学课程联系起来,以及学习策略的使用与解剖学考试成绩的关系。为了评估学习策略,我们使用了 "大学生学习策略"(LIST-K)问卷的简短版本(Klingsieck,2018)。此外,我们还调查了自我调节学习过程中使用的动机和资源的潜在影响因素。本研究的参与者(N = 108)填写了上述问卷 LIST-K 和书面多选解剖测试。K-means 聚类分析显示,三组学生在自我报告的学习策略使用上存在差异。学生们主要使用(1)元认知和资源相关策略,(2)主要使用认知策略,或(3)完全不使用特定的学习策略。我们发现,学习策略的使用与考试成绩之间没有明显的整体关系。逐步线性回归发现,认知学习策略的使用(β=.269)对考试成绩有显著的预测作用(R²=.149,p=.003),这可能是因为这些特定的学习策略有助于在学习解剖学和检索大量记忆信息时采用系统而有效的方法。此外,学习动机被认为是一个负面的预测因素(β = -.277),这可能是学生考试复习时间短的结果。总体研究结果表明,自我调节学习对学业成绩具有积极的预测作用。通过了解这些因素,教育工作者可以采用更加以学生为中心的方法来改进医学教育,并为学生提供宝贵的方法,帮助他们在大学毕业后继续接受教育。

By understanding these factors, a more student-centered approach could be adopted by educators to improve medical education and equip students with valuable approaches for their continuous education, even beyond university.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":50974,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Anatomy-Anatomischer Anzeiger","volume":"256 ","pages":"Article 152320"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0940960224001122/pdfft?md5=15feea311db478db702c227b5b2fc6aa&pid=1-s2.0-S0940960224001122-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142057556","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Background

The present study aims to investigate the feasibility of labeling ligaments using ultrasound-guided injections. On formalin-fixed cadavers, the anterolateral ligament was selected and targeted for demonstration. The development of portable ultrasound machines and the ability to connect them to tablets via Bluetooth or WLAN makes it an accessible tool to implement into the anatomical dissection courses in order to associate medical imaging (MRI and ultrasound), anatomical structures and their subsequent dissection.

Methods

8 formalin fixed human cadavers were used for the ultrasound-guided injections of 1 mL of blue latex into the anterolateral ligament. 8 cadavers were not injected with latex for comparative purposes. The injections were performed by an experienced ultra-sonographer. After approximately 10 months, five dissections were carried out by students during the dissection course and three specimens were dissected by anatomists.

Results

The anterolateral ligament was successfully marked and demonstrated in 7 out of 8 cases. In 4 out of 5 cases, the dissection was primarily conducted by students, while in 3 out of 3 cases, it was performed by anatomists. The accuracy was 80 % and 100 %, respectively.

Conclusion

The present study demonstrated that labeling obscure ligaments, such as the anterolateral ligament, using ultrasound guidance is feasible on formalin-fixed cadavers. It also showed that students can successfully perform the dissections as the structure is highlighted and that the time between injection and dissection (approximately 10 months) has little impact on the outcome. The use of ultrasound in dissection courses should be further encouraged.

背景:本研究旨在探讨使用超声引导注射法标记韧带的可行性。在福尔马林固定的尸体上,选择了前外侧韧带作为目标进行演示。便携式超声波机的发展以及通过蓝牙或无线局域网将其连接到平板电脑的能力,使其成为解剖学课程中的一种便捷工具,以便将医学影像(核磁共振成像和超声波)、解剖结构及其后续解剖联系起来。出于比较目的,8 具尸体未注射乳胶。注射由一名经验丰富的超声技师进行。大约 10 个月后,解剖课程的学生进行了 5 例解剖,解剖学家解剖了 3 例标本:结果:在 8 个病例中,有 7 个成功标记并显示了前外侧韧带。在 5 个病例中,有 4 个主要由学生进行解剖,而在 3 个病例中,有 3 个由解剖学家进行解剖。准确率分别为 80% 和 100%:本研究表明,在福尔马林固定的尸体上使用超声引导标记不明显的韧带(如前外侧韧带)是可行的。研究还表明,由于结构被突出显示,学生可以成功地进行解剖,而且注射和解剖之间的时间(约 10 个月)对结果影响不大。应进一步鼓励在解剖课程中使用超声波。

<div><h3>Background</h3><p>The Achilles tendon is one of the thickest, largest, and strongest tendons in the human body. Biomechanically, the AT represents the conjoint tendon of the triceps surae muscle, placed in series with the plantar fascia (PF) to ensure force transmission from the triceps surae toward the toes during walking, running, and jumping. Commonly encountered in the diagnostic evaluation of heel pain, Achilles tendinopathy (AT) refers to a combination of pathological changes affecting the tendon itself often resulting from excessive repetitive stress and overuse. Nevertheless, increasing evidence demonstrates that structural alterations due to overuse or abnormal patterns of skeletal muscle activity are not necessarily restricted to the muscles or tendons but can also affect the fascial tissue. At the same time, there has been recent discussion regarding the role of the fascial tissue as a potential contributor to the pathophysiological mechanisms of the development of several musculoskeletal disorders including tendinopathies. To the best of our knowledge, ultrasound (US) imaging studies on the fascial structures related to the triceps surae complex, as well as their possible correlation with Achillodynia have never been presented in the current literature.</p></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><p>In the present study, a comparative US imaging evaluation of textural features of the suro-Achilleo-plantar complex was performed in 14 healthy controls and 14 symptomatic subjects complaining of midportion AT. The thickness of the Achilles tendon, paratenon, intermuscular fascia, and PF has been assessed with US. In addition, both groups underwent the Victorian Institute of Sport Assessment-Achilles (VISA-A), a disease-specific questionnaire that measures the severity of symptoms of AT. Correlations between quantitative ultrasound measures and VISA-A scores were determined through Pearson or Spearman's rho correlations.</p></div><div><h3>Results</h3><p>Our ultrasonographic findings revealed statistically significant differences (<em>p</em><0.05) in Achilles tendon and paratenon thicknesses between AT patients and controls. No significant differences were observed between groups in PF at the calcaneal insertion as all mean measures were within the expected range of a normal PF on US imaging. In contrast, in tendinopathic subjects, the deep intermuscular fascia between medial gastrocnemius (MG) and soleus (SOL) muscles is significantly (<em>p</em><0.01) and considerably thickened compared to those of healthy subjects. Moderate correlations exist between tendon and paratenon thicknesses (r= 0.54, p= 0.04) and between MG-SOL fascia and tendon thicknesses (r= 0.58, p= 0.03). Regarding symptom severity and US morphological findings, the Spearman ρ test showed no correlation.</p></div><div><h3>Conclusions</h3><p>Our data demonstrate that, in symptomatic subjects, US alterations are not restricted to paratenon and intratendinous areas, but also
背景:跟腱是人体中最粗、最大、最结实的肌腱之一。从生物力学角度来看,跟腱是肱三头肌的联合肌腱,与足底筋膜(PF)串联在一起,以确保在行走、跑步和跳跃时,肱三头肌向脚趾传递力量。跟腱病变(AT)是指影响肌腱本身的一系列病理变化,通常是由于过度重复压力和过度使用造成的,在诊断评估足跟痛时经常会遇到。然而,越来越多的证据表明,由于过度使用或骨骼肌活动模式异常而导致的结构改变并不一定局限于肌肉或肌腱,也会影响筋膜组织。与此同时,近来还在讨论筋膜组织在多种肌肉骨骼疾病(包括肌腱病)的病理生理机制中可能扮演的角色。据我们所知,有关肱三头肌复合体筋膜结构的超声波(US)成像研究及其与跟腱痛可能存在的相关性从未在现有文献中出现过:本研究对 14 名健康对照组和 14 名主诉中段跟腱痛的症状受试者的跟腱-跟腱-足底复合体的纹理特征进行了对比性 US 成像评估。跟腱、跟腱旁、肌间筋膜和足底筋膜的厚度均通过 US 进行了评估。此外,两组受试者都接受了维多利亚体育研究所的跟腱评估(VISA-A),这是一份疾病特异性问卷,用于测量跟腱炎症状的严重程度。通过皮尔逊或斯皮尔曼rho相关性来确定超声定量测量与VISA-A评分之间的相关性:结果:我们的超声波检查结果显示,二者之间存在显著的统计学差异(p):我们的数据表明,在有症状的受试者中,超声改变并不局限于腱旁和腱内区域,还会影响到肌筋膜链的上游结构,导致 MG 和 SOL 肌肉之间的筋膜增厚。此外,还发现 MG-SOL 筋膜增厚与 AT、腱旁和症状严重程度的异常之间存在正相关。因此,应在 AT 患者的临床背景下解释美国筋膜系统的变化,因为这些变化反过来可能代表后续临床结果的重要预测因素,并有助于医护人员和临床医生完善该疾病的非手术治疗策略和康复方案。

Introduction and aim

Vitamin D supplementation in aging subjects manifests a positive effect on various health-related parameters. We performed a functionally-histological analysis of the adrenal cortex regarding the factors of vitamin D activity and corticosterone output after vitamin D3 application in a rat model of the andropause.

Material and methods

Middle-aged Wistar rats were divided into sham operated (SO; n=8), orchidectomized (Orx; n=8) and vitamin D3-treated orchidectomized (Orx+vit. D; n=8) groups. Vitamin D3 (5 μg/kg b.m.) was administered subcutaneously for three weeks, while the SO and Orx groups received the vehicle alone. Set objectives were achieved using histochemistry/immunohistochemistry, stereology, ultrastructural and biochemical analyses.

Results

Orchidectomy (Orx) decreased the adrenal cortex-related volume densities of vascular (p<0,0001), vitamin D receptor (VDR; p<0,0166), cytochrome P450 oxidase 2R1 (CYP 2R1; p<0,0001) and cytochrome P450 oxidase 24 (CYP 24; p<0,0001) depots, but increased the volume density of cytochrome P450 27B1 (CYP 27B1; p<0,0001) depots. In Orx+vit. D rats, increase of the adrenal cortex-related volume densities of collagen (p<0,0001), VDR (p<0,0001) and CYP 2R1 (p<0,0001) depots as well as the lipid-droplet diameter (p<0,0001) in adrenocortical outer zona fasciculata cells was observed, while a decrease of volume densities of the vascular (p<0,0001), CYP 27B1 (p<0,0001) and CYP 24 (p<0,0001) depots was registered, all versus Orx group. Plasma level of ACTH was decreased (p=0,0155) and serum concentrations of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 and corticosterone were increased (p<0,0001 and p=0,0187, respectively), all after the same treatment.

Conclusions

Increased corticosterone output after vitamin D3 application to andropausal rats appears not to be related to increased availability of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 and decreased degradation of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 in adrenal tissue, but rather involves the central regulatory mechanisms.

引言和目的:在衰老人群中补充维生素 D 对各种健康相关参数有积极影响。我们对大鼠肾上腺皮质进行了功能组织学分析,研究了应用维生素 D3 后大鼠肾上腺皮质的维生素 D 活性和皮质酮输出的因素:中年Wistar大鼠分为假手术组(SO;n=8)、睾丸切除组(Orx;n=8)和维生素D3治疗睾丸切除组(Orx+维生素D;n=8)。维生素 D3(5μg/kg b.m.)皮下注射三周,而 SO 组和 Orx 组仅接受药物治疗。通过组织化学/免疫组化、立体学、超微结构和生化分析实现了设定的目标:结果:睾丸切除术(Orx)降低了肾上腺皮质相关血管(pC)的体积密度:对雄激素过多的大鼠施用维生素 D3 后皮质酮输出量增加似乎与肾上腺组织中 25- 羟维生素 D3 的可用性增加和 1,25-二羟维生素 D3 的降解减少无关,而是与中枢调节机制有关。

<div><h3>Background</h3><p>Body donation is a predominant mode of body sourcing in many countries including South Africa; however, it continues to be limited among the different ethnic groups in the Black African population of South Africa which have been observed to be largely unwilling to provide consent to donate their bodies. Religious and cultural beliefs have been suggested to influence willingness to donate one’s body to science, with most religions regarded as accepting of body donation globally. In contrast, cultural beliefs and practices in the African continent impede body donation. Therefore, it is crucial to understand the factors that influence willingness to participate in body donation among the various ethnic groups of the Black African population of South Africa, particularly the Pedi ethnic group.</p></div><div><h3>Purpose</h3><p>This study sought to investigate factors that determine the disposition to participate in body donation and the influence of religious and cultural beliefs on willingness to consent to donate one’s body among a predominantly Pedi community of the Black African population of South Africa in the Limpopo province.</p></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><p>In this cross-sectional study, 300 four-page questionnaires were distributed to conveniently sampled individuals from the GaMaphale (Pipa) village of the Limpopo province of South Africa. Descriptive statistics (frequency tables and Pearson’s chi-square test for independence) followed by a stepwise backward regression were conducted to obtain key factors determining willingness to donate one’s body, the influence of religious and cultural beliefs, and also the likelihood of willingness to participate in body donation in this community. A <em>p</em>-value of < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.</p></div><div><h3>Results</h3><p>A total of 190 (63 %) responses were obtained. The level of awareness about body donation was 30 % (n= <sup>57</sup>/<sub>190</sub>), and 41 % (n= <sup>78</sup>/<sub>190</sub>) of respondents were willing to donate their bodies. Age (<em>p</em> = 0.001), educational level (<em>p</em> = 0.037), belief in a higher entity (<em>p</em> = 0.007), ancestral (<em>p</em> < 0.001), and religious (<em>p</em> < 0.001) beliefs allowing for body donation were statistically associated with willingness to donate one’s body. The elderly respondents were less likely to agree to donate their bodies compared to younger adults. Respondents who understood that religion allowed them to self-donate were 50 times more likely to agree to donate their bodies than those who did not.</p></div><div><h3>Discussion and conclusion</h3><p>Findings reflect that a high percentage of respondents were unaware of body donation while a considerable number of respondents were willing to donate their bodies to science based on their religious and cultural beliefs allowing them to do so.

背景:在包括南非在内的许多国家,遗体捐献是一种主要的遗体来源模式;然而,在南非黑非洲人口的不同种族群体中,遗体捐献仍然受到限制,据观察,他们大多不愿意同意捐献自己的遗体。宗教和文化信仰被认为会影响向科学捐献遗体的意愿,全球大多数宗教都接受遗体捐献。相比之下,非洲大陆的文化信仰和习俗却阻碍了遗体捐献。因此,了解影响南非黑非洲人口各民族群体,尤其是佩迪族群体参与遗体捐献意愿的因素至关重要。目的:本研究旨在调查决定南非林波波省黑非洲人口佩迪族群体参与遗体捐献意愿的因素,以及宗教和文化信仰对同意捐献遗体意愿的影响:在这项横断面研究中,我们向南非林波波省 GaMaphale(琵琶)村方便抽样的个人发放了 300 份四页纸的调查问卷。通过描述性统计(频数表和皮尔逊卡方检验)和逐步回归法,得出了决定是否愿意捐献遗体的关键因素、宗教和文化信仰的影响,以及该社区愿意参与遗体捐献的可能性。P值小于0.05为具有统计学意义:共收到 190 份答复(63%)。受访者对遗体捐献的认知度为 30%(n= 57/190),41%(n= 78/190)的受访者愿意捐献遗体。年龄(p = 0.001)、受教育程度(p = 0.037)、对更高实体的信仰(p = 0.007)、祖先(p < 0.001)和宗教(p < 0.001)信仰允许捐献遗体,这些因素在统计学上与受访者是否愿意捐献遗体有关。与年轻人相比,老年人同意捐献遗体的可能性较低。了解宗教允许他们自我捐献的受访者同意捐献遗体的可能性是不了解宗教的受访者的 50 倍:调查结果显示,很大比例的受访者对遗体捐献一无所知,而相当多的受访者愿意将自己的遗体捐献给科学事业,因为他们的宗教和文化信仰允许他们这样做。这个群体中的潜在遗体捐献者可能会更年轻,并且属于允许遗体捐献的宗教。有必要通过宣传活动提高该社区对遗体捐献计划的认识,尤其是在允许遗体捐献的宗教组织中。这项工作得到了国家研究基金会(TTK220214660416)的支持。

Therefore, it is crucial to understand the factors that influence willingness to participate in body donation among the various ethnic groups of the Black African population of South Africa, particularly the Pedi ethnic group.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Purpose&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p&gt;This study sought to investigate factors that determine the disposition to participate in body donation and the influence of religious and cultural beliefs on willingness to consent to donate one’s body among a predominantly Pedi community of the Black African population of South Africa in the Limpopo province.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Methods&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p&gt;In this cross-sectional study, 300 four-page questionnaires were distributed to conveniently sampled individuals from the GaMaphale (Pipa) village of the Limpopo province of South Africa. Descriptive statistics (frequency tables and Pearson’s chi-square test for independence) followed by a stepwise backward regression were conducted to obtain key factors determining willingness to donate one’s body, the influence of religious and cultural beliefs, and also the likelihood of willingness to participate in body donation in this community. A &lt;em&gt;p&lt;/em&gt;-value of &lt; 0.05 was considered statistically significant.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Results&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p&gt;A total of 190 (63 %) responses were obtained. The level of awareness about body donation was 30 % (n= &lt;sup&gt;57&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;190&lt;/sub&gt;), and 41 % (n= &lt;sup&gt;78&lt;/sup&gt;/&lt;sub&gt;190&lt;/sub&gt;) of respondents were willing to donate their bodies. Age (&lt;em&gt;p&lt;/em&gt; = 0.001), educational level (&lt;em&gt;p&lt;/em&gt; = 0.037), belief in a higher entity (&lt;em&gt;p&lt;/em&gt; = 0.007), ancestral (&lt;em&gt;p&lt;/em&gt; &lt; 0.001), and religious (&lt;em&gt;p&lt;/em&gt; &lt; 0.001) beliefs allowing for body donation were statistically associated with willingness to donate one’s body. The elderly respondents were less likely to agree to donate their bodies compared to younger adults. Respondents who understood that religion allowed them to self-donate were 50 times more likely to agree to donate their bodies than those who did not.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Discussion and conclusion&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p&gt;Findings reflect that a high percentage of respondents were unaware of body donation while a considerable number of respondents were willing to donate their bodies to science based on their religious and cultural beliefs allowing them to do so.

Background

To prevent the absorption and collapse of the labial bone plate of the anterior teeth, immediate implantation and socket shield technique have been increasingly applied to anterior dental aesthetic implant restoration.

Objective

To provide a biomechanical basis for implant restoration of maxillary anterior teeth, finite element analysis was used to investigate the stress peak and distribution in different anatomical sites of natural teeth, conventional immediate implantation and socket shield technique.

Methods

Three maxillary finite element models were established, including a maxillary incisor as a natural tooth, a conventional immediate implantation and a socket shield technique. A mechanical load of 100 N was applied to simulate and analyze the biomechanical behavior of the root, periodontal ligament (PDL), implant and surrounding bone interface.

Results

The stress distribution of the natural tooth was relatively uniform under load. The maximum von Mises stress of the root, periodontal ligament, cortical bone and cancellous bone were 20.14 MPa, 2.473 MPa, 19.48 MPa and 5.068 MPa, respectively. When the conventional immediate implantation was loaded, the stress was mainly concentrated around the neck of implant. Maximum stress on the surface of the implant was 102 MPa, the cortical bone was 16.13 MPa, and the cancellous bone was 18.29 MPa. When the implantation with socket shield technique was loaded, the stress distribution of the implant was similar to that of immediate implantation. Maximum stress on the surface of the implant was 100.5 MPa, the cortical bone was 23.11 MPa, the cancellous bone was 21.66 MPa, the remaining tooth fragment was 29.42 MPa and the periodontal ligament of the tooth fragment was 1.131 MPa.

Conclusions

1. Under static loading, both socket shield technology and conventional immediate implantation can support the esthetic restoration of anterior teeth biomechanically. 2.Under short-term follow-up, both immediate implant and socket shield technology achieved satisfactory clinical results, including bone healing and patient satisfaction. 3.The stress distribution is mainly located on the buccal bone surface of the implant and is associated with resorption of the buccal bone plate after implant replacement in both socket shield technology and conventional immediate implantation. 4.The presence of retained root fragment had an impact on the bone graft gap. In immediate implantation, the peak stress was located in the cortical bone near the implant position, while in socket shield technology, the peak stress was at the neck of the cortical bone corresponding to the retained root fragment.

背景:为防止前牙唇侧骨板的吸收和塌陷,即刻种植和牙槽屏蔽技术已越来越多地应用于前牙美学种植修复:为了给上颌前牙种植修复提供生物力学依据,我们采用有限元分析方法研究了天然牙、传统即刻种植和牙槽屏蔽技术在不同解剖部位的应力峰值和分布情况:建立了三个上颌有限元模型,包括作为天然牙的上颌门牙、传统即刻种植体和牙槽屏蔽技术。方法:建立三个上颌有限元模型,包括作为天然牙的上颌切牙、传统即刻种植体和牙槽屏蔽技术,施加 100N 的机械负荷,模拟和分析牙根、牙周韧带(PDL)、种植体和周围骨界面的生物力学行为:结果:天然牙在负荷下的应力分布相对均匀。牙根、牙周韧带、皮质骨和松质骨的最大 von Mises 应力分别为 20.14MPa、2.473MPa、19.48MPa 和 5.068MPa。传统即刻种植体加载时,应力主要集中在种植体颈部周围。种植体表面的最大应力为 102MPa,皮质骨为 16.13MPa,松质骨为 18.29MPa。当使用套筒盾牌技术加载种植体时,种植体的应力分布与即刻种植相似。种植体表面的最大应力为 100.5MPa,皮质骨为 23.11MPa,松质骨为 21.66MPa,剩余牙片为 29.42MPa,牙片的牙周韧带为 1.131MPa:1.结论:1.在静态负荷下,牙槽窝屏蔽技术和传统的即刻种植技术都能为前牙的美学修复提供生物力学支持。2.在短期随访中,即刻种植和牙槽盾技术都取得了令人满意的临床效果,包括骨愈合和患者满意度。3.应力分布主要位于种植体的颊骨表面,与种植体植入后颊骨板的吸收有关。4.残根的存在对植骨间隙有影响。在即刻种植中,峰值应力位于种植体位置附近的皮质骨中,而在套筒屏蔽技术中,峰值应力位于与保留的牙根碎片相对应的皮质骨颈部。
