Introduction

Postmortem evaluation of the human vascular system has a long history, with advancements ranging from dissections to modern imaging techniques like computed tomography (CT scan). This study designs a novel combination of Angiofil, a liquid radiopaque polymer, and latex, a flexible cast material, for cadaveric vascular analysis.

Material & methods

The aim was to synergize the advantages of both components, providing accurate radiological images and optimal dissection conditions. Three arterial territories (lateral circumflex femoral artery, profunda brachii artery, and radial artery) were injected and assessed through CT scans and dissections.

Results

The Angiofil-latex mixture allowed successful visualization of the vascular networks, offering a simple, reproducible, and non-toxic approach. Quantitative assessments of the three territories, including diameters and lengths, showed comparable results between CT scan and dissection.

Discussion

The technique precision and versatility make it an accessible and valuable tool for anatomical studies, potentially extending its application to MRI analyses. Overall, the Angiofil-latex combination presents a cost-effective solution for researchers, offering enhanced visibility and detailed anatomical insights for various applications, including anatomical variation studies.

导言:人体血管系统的尸检评估由来已久,从解剖到计算机断层扫描(CT 扫描)等现代成像技术都取得了进步。本研究设计了一种液态不透射线聚合物 Angiofil 和柔性铸模材料乳胶的新型组合,用于尸体血管分析:材料与方法:目的是协同两种成分的优势,提供准确的放射图像和最佳的解剖条件。对三个动脉区域(股外侧环动脉、肱深动脉和桡动脉)进行注射,并通过 CT 扫描和解剖进行评估:结果:Angiofil-乳胶混合物可成功观察血管网络,是一种简单、可重复、无毒的方法。对三个区域的定量评估(包括直径和长度)显示,CT 扫描和解剖结果具有可比性:讨论:该技术的精确性和多功能性使其成为解剖学研究中一种易用且有价值的工具,并有可能将其应用扩展到核磁共振成像分析中。总之,Angiofil-乳胶组合为研究人员提供了一种具有成本效益的解决方案,为包括解剖变异研究在内的各种应用提供了更高的可视性和详细的解剖见解。

This study aimed to evaluate the potential effects of Bisphenol F and S exposure on the skeletal structures of Sprague-Dawley rats. Given the increasing concern about the potential endocrine-disrupting effects of Bisphenol analogs on bone health, this research sought to elucidate their impact in conjunction with Melatonin. Using 80 male Sprague Dawley rats, bones were subjected to a 3-point bending test to assess mechanical properties, and histopathological evaluation was conducted after fixation and decalcification. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS. The results of the mechanical tests revealed significant differences in deformation and elastic modulus values between groups treated with Bisphenol F+Melatonin and Bisphenol S+Melatonin compared to the control groups. However, the histological images showed no significant differences between the groups. In the discussion, it was noted that the injection of Bisphenol F and Melatonin together increased bone hardness, suggesting that Bisphenol F and Bisphenol S may mitigate the negative effects of melatonin on bone. We attributed the absence of histological differences to the male gender of the studied rats and previous exposure considerations. This study shows that Melatonin can reduce Bisphenol F and Bisphenol S′ rapid adjustment effects and increase bone elasticity. The side effects of Bisphenol F and S, as well as the prophylactic effects of Melatonin, can be observed and improved by carefully adjusting the duration, dose, and gender selection.

本研究旨在评估接触双酚 F 和 S 对 Sprague-Dawley 大鼠骨骼结构的潜在影响。鉴于人们越来越关注双酚类似物对骨骼健康的潜在内分泌干扰作用,本研究试图结合褪黑素来阐明其影响。使用 80 只雄性 Sprague Dawley 大鼠,对骨骼进行三点弯曲测试,以评估其机械性能,并在固定和脱钙后进行组织病理学评估。使用 SPSS 进行了统计分析。力学测试结果表明,与对照组相比,使用双酚 F+ 褪黑激素和双酚 S+ 褪黑激素处理的各组在变形和弹性模量值方面存在显著差异。然而,组织学图像显示各组之间没有明显差异。讨论中指出,同时注射双酚 F 和褪黑素可增加骨硬度,这表明双酚 F 和双酚 S 可减轻褪黑素对骨骼的负面影响。我们认为,组织学上没有差异的原因是研究大鼠的性别为雄性,以及以前接触过褪黑激素。这项研究表明,褪黑素可以减轻双酚 F 和双酚 S 的快速调节作用,增加骨骼弹性。通过仔细调整持续时间、剂量和性别选择,可以观察和改善双酚 F 和双酚 S 的副作用以及褪黑素的预防作用。

Systematic review of the histological and functional effects of botulinum toxin A on masticatory muscles: Consideration in dentofacial orthopedics and orthognathic surgery A 型肉毒毒素对咀嚼肌的组织学和功能影响的系统回顾:牙颌面矫形和正颌外科手术中的考虑因素。

Introduction

Botulinum toxin type A causes muscle paralysis and is widely used in the masticatory muscle for stomatognathic diseases, such as temporomandibular disorder, bruxism, or masseteric hypertrophy. Nonetheless, its muscular effect remains unclear. Better understanding could aid improved use and perhaps new indications, particularly in dentofacial orthopaedics and orthognathic surgery.

Methods

This systematic review explored the histologic and functional effects of botulinum toxin in animal and human masticatory muscles and was conducted in accordance with the recommendations of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses statement. The MEDLINE, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library electronic databases were searched for relevant articles. The inclusion criteria were human or animal masticatory muscle analysis after botulinum toxin injection(s) AND histological structural/ultrastructural analysis by optical or electronic microscopy OR functional effect analysis by bite force evaluation (occlusal force analyzer) and muscle activity (electromyography).

Results

Of an initial 1578 articles, 44 studies were eventually included. Botulinum toxin injection in the masticatory muscle altered its histological structure and functional properties. The human and animal studies revealed ultrastructural change, atrophy, and fiber type modifications of the masticatory muscles after one injection. Botulinum toxin decreased bite force and muscle activity, but recovery was uncertain.

Conclusions

Muscle forces applied on the skeleton is a key feature of facial growth. Masticatory muscle paralysis changes mechanical stress on bones, which rebalances the force applied on facial bones. This new balance could benefit dental deformity or surgical relapse. Therefore, botulinum toxin could limit the orthognathic effect of the masticatory muscles in such patients. Given the uncertain recovery, multiple injections should be avoided, and usage should not deviate from established consensus.

简介A 型肉毒杆菌毒素可导致肌肉麻痹,被广泛用于咀嚼肌治疗颞下颌关节紊乱、磨牙症或咀嚼肌肥大等口腔疾病。然而,它对肌肉的作用仍不明确。更好地了解这种药物有助于改进其使用,或许还能增加新的适应症,尤其是在牙颌面矫形和正颌外科方面:本系统综述探讨了肉毒毒素对动物和人类咀嚼肌的组织学和功能影响,并根据《系统综述和荟萃分析首选报告项目》声明的建议进行。研究人员在 MEDLINE、Web of Science 和 Cochrane Library 电子数据库中检索了相关文章。纳入标准为肉毒毒素注射后的人类或动物咀嚼肌分析,以及通过光学或电子显微镜进行的组织结构/超微结构分析,或通过咬合力评估(咬合力分析仪)和肌肉活动(肌电图)进行的功能效果分析:在最初的 1578 篇文章中,最终纳入了 44 项研究。在咀嚼肌注射肉毒杆菌会改变其组织学结构和功能特性。人类和动物研究显示,注射一次肉毒杆菌毒素后,咀嚼肌的超微结构会发生变化、萎缩和纤维类型改变。肉毒杆菌毒素降低了咬合力和肌肉活动,但恢复情况并不确定:结论:施加在骨骼上的肌肉力量是面部生长的一个关键特征。咀嚼肌麻痹会改变骨骼上的机械应力,从而重新平衡施加在面部骨骼上的力量。这种新的平衡可能有利于牙齿畸形或手术复发。因此,肉毒杆菌毒素可限制此类患者咀嚼肌的正颌效应。鉴于恢复的不确定性,应避免多次注射,使用方法也不应偏离既定的共识。

Background

Temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJ-OA) presents significant challenges due to its complex etiology, often insidious onset, high incidence, and progressive structural deterioration. While research has explored genetic and molecular factors, treatment outcomes remain suboptimal, emphasizing the need for a deeper understanding of disease progression.

Objective

This study employs a specific mandibular shift rat model to explore the dynamic progression of TMJ-OA-like lesions and evaluate the potential for self-repair at different stages, aiming to inform early diagnosis and preventative strategies.

Methods

Seventy-two female Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized into three groups: a control group (n=24; average weight: 157.23±1.63 g) receiving sham surgery. an experimental group (n=24; average weight: 157.78±1.88 g) subjected to mandibular shift induction, and a removal group (n=24; average weight: 158.11±2.20 g) experiencing mandibular shift for one, two, or four weeks followed by a one-month recovery period (designated as 1w Removal, 2w Removal and 4w Removal, respectively). Histomorphological and molecular analyses were conducted at designated time points.

Results

Rats in the 1-week removal group exhibited substantial recovery in condylar morphology, cartilage thickness, extracellular matrix composition, and expression of OA-related genes. Conversely, the 4-week removal group mirrored the experimental group, indicating limited self-repair capacity at later stages. The 2-week removal group presented with variable outcomes, with some animals showing signs of recovery and others resembling the experimental group, indicating a potential transitional phase in the disease process.

Conclusion

Recovery from early-stage TMJ-OA involves eliminating provoking factors such as occlusal interference or reducing joint loading. However, advanced stages exhibit diminished self-repair capabilities, necessitating additional therapeutic interventions. These findings emphasize the importance of early diagnosis and intervention in TMJ-OA management.

背景:颞下颌关节骨关节炎(TMJ-OA)病因复杂,通常起病隐匿,发病率高,结构逐渐恶化,因此给治疗带来了巨大挑战。虽然研究人员对遗传和分子因素进行了探索,但治疗效果仍不理想,因此需要对疾病的进展有更深入的了解:本研究采用一种特殊的下颌移位大鼠模型来探索颞下颌关节-OA 类似病变的动态发展过程,并评估不同阶段的自我修复潜力,旨在为早期诊断和预防策略提供依据:72只雌性Sprague-Dawley大鼠随机分为三组:对照组(n=24;平均体重:157.23±1.63g)接受假手术;实验组(n=24;平均体重:157.78±1.实验组(n=24;平均体重:157.78±1.88g)接受下颌骨移位诱导,移位组(n=24;平均体重:158.11±2.20g)接受为期一周、两周或四周的下颌骨移位诱导,然后经过一个月的恢复期(分别称为 1w 移位、2w 移位和 4w 移位)。在指定时间点进行组织形态学和分子分析:结果:1周移除组大鼠的髁状突形态、软骨厚度、细胞外基质组成和OA相关基因的表达均有显著恢复。相反,4 周移除组与实验组相同,表明后期的自我修复能力有限。2周移除组的结果各不相同,有些动物表现出恢复迹象,有些则与实验组相似,这表明疾病过程可能处于过渡阶段:结论:早期颞下颌关节-颌关节紊乱症的恢复需要消除诱发因素,如咬合干扰或减少关节负荷。然而,晚期患者的自我修复能力减弱,需要额外的治疗干预。这些发现强调了早期诊断和干预在颞下颌关节-OA 治疗中的重要性。

Background

Male reproductive functions are regulated in the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis. Any problem in this axis would lead to the deterioration of reproductive functions. The present study aimed to investigate the effects of intracerebroventricular (icv) Spexin (SPX) infusion on the HPG axis in detail.

Methods

40 Wistar albino rats were divided into four groups: control, sham, SPX 30 nmol and SPX 100 nmol (n=10). 30 nmol/1 µl/hour SPX was administered icv to the rats in the SPX 30 nmol group for 7 days, while rats in the SPX 100 nmol group were administered 100 nmol/1 µl/hour SPX. On the 7th day, the rats were decapitated, blood and tissue samples were collected. Serum LH, FSH and testosterone levels were determined with the ELISA method, GnRH mRNA expression level was determined in hypothalamus with the RT-PCR method. Seminiferous tubule diameter and epithelial thickness were determined with the hematoxylin-eosin staining method.

Results

SPX infusion was increased GnRH mRNA expression in the hypothalamus tissue independent of the dose (p<0.05). Serum LH, FSH and testosterone levels in the SPX groups were increased when compared to the control and sham groups independent of the dose (p <0.05). Histological analysis revealed that SPX infusion did not lead to any changes in seminiferous epithelial thickness, while the tubule diameter increased in the SPX groups (p<0.05).

Conclusion

The study findings demonstrated that icv SPX infusion stimulated the HPG axis and increased the secretion of male reproductive hormones.

背景:男性生殖功能由下丘脑-垂体-性腺轴(HPG)调节。该轴的任何问题都会导致生殖功能的衰退。方法:40 只 Wistar 白化大鼠分为四组:对照组、假阳性组、SPX 30 nmol 组和 SPX 100 nmol 组(n=10)。SPX 30 nmol组大鼠每小时静脉注射30 nmol/1µl的SPX,连续7天;SPX 100 nmol组大鼠每小时静脉注射100 nmol/1µl的SPX,连续7天。第 7 天,将大鼠斩首,采集血液和组织样本。用ELISA法测定血清LH、FSH和睾酮水平,用RT-PCR法测定下丘脑中GnRH mRNA的表达水平。用苏木精-伊红染色法测定曲细精管直径和上皮厚度:结果:输注 SPX 增加了下丘脑组织中 GnRH mRNA 的表达,与剂量无关(p):研究结果表明,icv SPX输注可刺激HPG轴,增加男性生殖激素的分泌。

Background

Publications report that all mammals have two omenta, namely, lesser omentum and greater omentum. Basically, these organs, which share the same name except for the adjective “lesser” or “greater,” should not differ from each other. However, no clear description of the structure of the lesser omentum, as well as comparative morphological analysis between the lesser and greater omenta have been found in the literature, which necessitates a thorough investigation. Therefore, the aim of our study was to analyze the morphofunctional differences between the greater and lesser omenta in albino rats.

Method

The experiment involved 20 mature male albino rats, weighing 298,28±7,36 grams. The material for our study were preparations of lesser and greater omenta, fixed in 10 % of neutral buffered formalin. Paraffin sections were stained with hematoxylin-eosin and Van Gieson stain.

Results

The findings of the study showed that the greater omentum in albino rats, unlike other derivatives of the omentum (ligaments and mesenteries), represents a free extension (mostly from the greater curvature of the stomach), in the form of an “apron,” into a specific depth of the peritoneal cavity, duplicating the serous membrane. This duplication is characterized by the composition of two structurally interdependent formations. These include vascular-fatty arcades, associated with lymphoid nodules known as milky spots, and binding serous-reticular membranes. The findings of the study of the lesser omentum have established that in all cases it is located beneath the liver and becomes visualized only after hepatolifting. It is presented in the form of two ligaments: hepatoduodenal and hepatogastric, which contain two main structured formations, which we called vascular-fatty spurs, between these spurs, serous-reticular membranes are located.

Conclusion

despite having similar names, the lesser omentum, a derivative of the peritoneum, is fundamentally different. As it is well known, the lesser omentum is represented by ligaments that extend from the liver hilus to the lesser curvature of the stomach and the duodenum. Due to this arrangement, the lesser omentum lacks the mobile activity characteristic of the greater omentum, which plays a crucial role in rapid response to damage in the gastrointestinal tract. Despite sharing the same names, both formations differ in shape, morphological structure, development and function

背景:文献报道,所有哺乳动物都有两个网膜,即小网膜和大网膜。从根本上说,除了 "小 "或 "大 "这两个形容词外,这两个器官的名称是相同的,它们之间应该没有区别。然而,文献中并未对小网膜的结构进行明确描述,也未对小网膜和大网膜进行形态学对比分析,因此有必要进行深入研究。因此,我们的研究旨在分析白化大鼠大网膜和小网膜的形态功能差异:实验对象为 20 只成熟雄性白化大鼠,体重为 298,28±7,36 克。研究材料为小网膜和大网膜的制备物,用 10%的中性缓冲福尔马林固定。石蜡切片经苏木精-伊红和范吉森染色:研究结果表明,白化大鼠的大网膜与网膜的其他衍生物(韧带和肠系膜)不同,它是以 "围裙 "的形式向腹腔特定深度的自由延伸(主要来自胃大弯),与浆膜重复。这种复制的特点是由两种结构上相互依存的形态组成。其中包括血管-脂肪弧,与被称为乳斑的淋巴结相关联,以及结合浆膜-网膜。对小网膜的研究结果表明,在所有病例中,小网膜都位于肝脏下方,只有在切除肝脏后才能看到。它以两条韧带的形式存在:肝十二指肠韧带和肝胃韧带,这两条韧带包含两种主要的结构形式,我们称之为血管脂肪刺,在这些刺之间是血清网状膜。众所周知,小网膜由韧带构成,韧带从肝门延伸至胃小弯和十二指肠。由于这种排列方式,小网膜缺乏大网膜特有的移动性,而大网膜在快速应对胃肠道损伤方面发挥着至关重要的作用。尽管名称相同,但这两种形态在形状、形态结构、发育和功能上都有所不同。

Cancer research involves significant animal consumption and suffering. Tumor cells can be differentiated in vitro into three-dimensional organoids that resemble the primary tumor. In basic cancer research, however, tumor organoids are usually only used alongside animal experiments. We have established an easy-to-perform protocol that allows to culture KRAS-driven lung tumor cells as organoids for extended periods of time. Like the corresponding tumors in mice, the organoids produce surfactant protein C but no markers of airway epithelial cells (e.g. SCGB1A1, KRT5). The organoids can be passaged as single cell suspensions. Our organoid model contributes to replace animal experiments with cell culture systems and can be used for drug testing or functional studies in cancer research.

癌症研究涉及大量的动物消耗和痛苦。肿瘤细胞可以在体外分化成与原发肿瘤相似的三维有机体。然而,在基础癌症研究中,肿瘤器官组织通常只用于动物实验。我们建立了一种易于操作的方案,可以将 KRAS 驱动的肺肿瘤细胞长期培养成器质体。与小鼠的相应肿瘤一样,器官组织也能产生表面活性蛋白 C,但没有气道上皮细胞的标记物(如 SCGB1A1、KRT5)。有机体可作为单细胞悬浮液进行传代。我们的类器官模型有助于用细胞培养系统取代动物实验,可用于癌症研究中的药物测试或功能研究。

Background

Current anatomical knowledge of the origin of the bucinator muscle (BM), i.e., long thin attachments on the maxilla and mandible and the pterygomandibular raphe (PMR), is not supported by anatomical dissection of this muscle. The aim of this study was therefore to investigate the detailed morphology of the BM and associated structures and to discuss its function.

Methods

The anatomy of the BM and related structures was investigated in 15 cadaveric heads using a surgical microscope and histological analysis.

Results

The inferior fibers of the BM originated from a small retromolar area (internal oblique line), which shared a common tendon with the deep tendon of the temporalis. The superior fibers of the BM originated from the maxillary tuberosity. The middle fibers originated the pterygoid hamulus. No PMR was identified in any of the specimens, but the border between the BM and superior pharyngeal constrictor muscle (SC) was clear because the muscle fibers followed different directions. Some horizontal fibers were continuous between the BM and SC.

Conclusions

Our results suggest the need to revise established accounts of the origins of the bucinator (the maxillary tuberosity, conjoint tendon of the temporalis, and pterygoid hamulus without a pterygomandibular raphe. It also needs to be noted that some of its fibers merge directly with the SC.

背景:目前对咬肌起源的解剖学知识,即上颌骨和下颌骨上的细长附着物以及翼颌下缘(PMR),并没有得到对该肌肉解剖学解剖的支持。因此,本研究旨在调查 BM 及其相关结构的详细形态,并讨论其功能:方法:使用手术显微镜和组织学分析方法对 15 具尸体头部的横纹肌和相关结构进行了解剖研究:BM的下部纤维起源于一个小的后摩尔区(内斜线),它与颞肌深部肌腱共享一条共同的肌腱。BM的上部纤维源自上颌结节。中间纤维起源于翼束肌。在所有标本中均未发现咽后肌,但咽后肌与咽上收缩肌(SC)之间的边界清晰可见,因为肌纤维的方向不同。一些水平纤维在 BM 和 SC 之间是连续的:我们的研究结果表明,有必要修改关于颊肌(上颌结节、颞肌联合肌腱和无翼下颌剑突的翼状肌)起源的既有说法。还需要注意的是,它的一些纤维直接与 SC 融合。

The median nerve´s system of connective tissue distal to the pronator teres to the carpal tunnel 正中神经的结缔组织系统,从前臂大肌远端到腕管。

Background

Connective tissue serves a role beyond mere spatial filling. Furthermore, there is increasing evidence that connective tissue plays an important role in the pathogenesis of conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). According to our hypothesis, the median nerve (MN) is surrounded by a system of connective tissue distal to the pronator teres and extending up to, and including, the carpal tunnel.

Methods

To visualize the connective tissue surrounding the median nerve, we dissected the forearms of 15 body donors from pronator teres to the carpal tunnel, created plastination slices stained with Periodic Acid-Schiff (PAS), and injected ink into the seen spaces. We verified our findings with a segmentational analysis of radiological data of 10 healthy individuals.

Results

We macroscopically describe the median nerve´s system of connective tissue (MC) distal to the pronator teres and up to and including the carpal tunnel. This system creates, connects, and separates spaces. At least from the pronator teres to the carpal tunnel it also creates subspaces from proximal to distal. For the MC, we established a mean cross-sectional area of 153.1 mm2 (SD=37.15) in the carpal tunnel. The median nerve consistently resides at the center of this MC, which further connects to flexor muscles of the forearm, and to the radius bone. In the carpal tunnel, the MC creates subspaces inside. There, it also acts as the outermost internal layer enveloping flexor tendons, and the MN.

Discussion

The term MC does not negate but orders the existence of other “connectives”, like subsynovial connective tissue, endo-, epi- or perineuria, epimysia, periostea, or peritendinea, to a hierarchy related to the median nerve. Diseases of the MN are common. Knowing the anatomy of the MC and how it relates to MN function may help clinicians recognize and understand conditions like CTS.

背景:结缔组织的作用不仅仅是填充空间。此外,越来越多的证据表明,结缔组织在腕管综合征(CTS)等疾病的发病机制中发挥着重要作用。根据我们的假说,正中神经(MN)被一个结缔组织系统所包围,该系统位于代趾远端,一直延伸至腕管,并包括腕管:为了观察正中神经周围的结缔组织,我们解剖了 15 名人体捐献者的前臂,从发音肌到腕管,制作了经酸周期-希夫(PAS)染色的塑化切片,并将墨水注入所见的空隙中。我们通过对 10 名健康人的放射学数据进行分割分析,验证了我们的研究结果:结果:我们从宏观上描述了正中神经的结缔组织(MC)系统,其远端位于代趾,一直到腕管(包括腕管)。该系统创造、连接和分离空间。至少从发音肌到腕管,它还创造了从近端到远端的子空间。对于正中神经,我们确定腕管的平均横截面积为 153.1 平方毫米(SD=37.15)。正中神经始终位于 MC 的中心,并进一步连接到前臂的屈肌和桡骨。在腕管中,正中神经在内部形成子空间。在那里,它也是包裹屈肌腱和 MN 的最外层内层:MC一词并不否定其他 "结缔组织 "的存在,如滑膜下结缔组织、内尿道、外尿道或尿道周围结缔组织、外膜、骨膜或腱膜周围结缔组织,而是将其归类为与正中神经相关的层次。正中神经疾病很常见。了解正中神经的解剖结构及其与正中神经功能的关系有助于临床医生识别和理解 CTS 等疾病。

Body embalming, a practice with deep historical roots across various cultures, forms the backbone of contemporary human body donation educational programmes. In this study, we explored current embalming practices within six South African human anatomical dissection programmes, focusing on the use and volumes of key chemicals—formalin, phenol, and alcohol—and their associated health risks and potential toxicity. We measured and compared aspects of embalming practices such as the duration of body preservation and the annual intake of bodies. Variations in embalming practices and chemical ratios across different South African universities were found. However, the consistent use of formalin, phenol and alcohol were observed across all six programmes. Formaldehyde concentrations used in South African dissection programmes were within the generally acceptable international range. Regarding arterial embalming, South African dissection programmes showed widespread adherence to international embalming practices, with one programme using a substantially lower concentration of formalin. The dual nature of formaldehyde as both an effective preservative and a recognised carcinogen was underscored in relation to human health regarding chemical toxicity. Phenol, like formaldehyde, was consistently used as it is important for the inhibition of bacterial and fungal growth. Alcohol was also consistently used, but there was much greater variation in its volume across South African institutions. Our data showed a slight positive relationship between storage duration and the volumes of formalin and phenol in human embalming fluid. South African regulators enforce stricter exposure limits than those set by the World Health Organisation and various European agencies. While South African institutions operate within internationally acceptable ranges of chemical use that both maximise preservation and minimise toxicity, we acknowledge that these data are preliminary. Further investigation is encouraged to ensure embalming practices effectively protect all those involved and support the educational goals of human anatomical dissection programmes in South Africa.

尸体防腐是一种在不同文化中有着深厚历史渊源的做法,是当代人体捐赠教育计划的支柱。在这项研究中,我们探讨了南非六项人体解剖计划中目前的防腐做法,重点关注福尔马林、苯酚和酒精等关键化学品的使用情况和用量,以及与之相关的健康风险和潜在毒性。我们测量并比较了尸体防腐做法的各个方面,如尸体保存时间和每年的尸体摄入量。我们发现,南非不同大学的防腐做法和化学配比存在差异。不过,在所有六项计划中,使用福尔马林、苯酚和酒精的情况一致。南非解剖课程使用的甲醛浓度在国际公认范围内。在动脉防腐方面,南非的解剖方案普遍遵守国际防腐做法,其中一项方案使用的福尔马林浓度大大降低。甲醛既是一种有效的防腐剂,又是一种公认的致癌物质,其化学毒性对人体健康的双重影响得到了强调。与甲醛一样,苯酚也一直被使用,因为它对抑制细菌和真菌生长非常重要。酒精也一直被使用,但在南非各机构中的使用量差异更大。我们的数据显示,储存时间与人体防腐液中福尔马林和苯酚的用量之间存在轻微的正相关关系。南非监管机构执行的接触限值比世界卫生组织和欧洲各机构规定的限值更为严格。虽然南非的防腐机构在国际公认的化学品使用范围内运作,既能最大限度地保存尸体,又能最大限度地降低毒性,但我们承认这些数据只是初步数据。我们鼓励开展进一步调查,以确保防腐操作有效保护所有相关人员,并支持南非人体解剖计划的教育目标。
