摘要
尸体解剖一直是全球解剖学教育不可或缺的一部分;因此,尸体的特征、组织毛发和微生物完整性对解剖学教育具有重要意义。本研究确定了乌干达西南部(SWU)医学院使用的尸体的特征、组织毛发和微生物完整性。在西南乌干达医学教学机构的解剖学和微生物学实验室进行了为期三个月的横断面研究。研究获得了伦理批准,按比例选取了尸体并对其进行了大体检查,同时采集了尸体表面的拭子进行微生物分析。收集到的数据输入 Microsoft Excel,经过清理后导出到 Stata 17 版进行分析。大部分尸体为男性(68%)、成人(96%)、黑人(100%)、死因不明(96%)、无主尸体(100%)和无尸体记录标签(96%)。近一半(48%)的尸体牙齿脱落,68%的尸体肌肉完整性差,80%的尸体脂肪异常。约 27% 的尸体表面微生物完整性较差,其中 62.5% 混合有细菌和真菌,25.0% 只有真菌,12.5% 只有细菌。很多尸体表面都有微生物,其中大多数混合有细菌和真菌。大多数尸体的组织完整性较差。应采用更好的尸体保存方法。倡导制定遗体捐赠政策和计划,通过这些政策和计划可以获得高质量的遗体。
Profiles, tissue and microbial integrity of cadavers used in medical faculties in South-western Uganda: implication in anatomical education.
Cadaveric dissection has remained an integral part of anatomical education globally; hence, the profiles of cadavers, their gross tissue and microbial integrity has great implication in anatomical education. This study determined the profiles, gross tissue and microbial integrity of cadavers used in South-western Uganda (SWU) medical schools. A cross-sectional study was carried out for three months in anatomy and microbiology laboratories of SWU medical teaching institutions. Ethical approval was obtained, cadavers were proportionately selected and examined grossly, and surface swabs taken for microbial analysis. Data collected was entered into Microsoft Excel, cleaned, and exported to Stata version 17 for analysis. Majority of cadavers were male (68%), adult (96%), blacks (100%), unknown cause of death (96%), obtained as unclaimed bodies (100%) and with no cadaver record tag (96%). Nearly a half (48%) cadavers had disrupted dentition, 68% had poor muscle integrity and 80% with abnormal fat. About 27% cadavers had poor surface microbial integrity among which 62.5% had a mixture of both bacteria and fungi, 25.0% had only fungi while 12.5% had only bacteria. A high number of cadavers had micro-organisms on their surfaces with majority having a mixture of bacteria and fungi. Majority of cadavers had poor gross tissue integrity. Better cadaver preservation methods should be adopted. To advocate for the establishment of cadaver donation policy and programs through which good quality cadavers can be obtained.
