Abstract

Context: Thymus is intimately related to the immuno regulatory mechanism of the body, its weight in general as well as at different age in a particular population might also be related to the overall immune status of that population. Thus the knowledge of the weight of the thymus at different ages may be helpful in planning of the medical and surgical treatment of thymus related problem as well as dealing patients from immunologic aspects Objective: To measure the age related changes in weight of the thymus gland of Bangladeshi people Study design: A descriptive type of study Place and period of study: The study was carried out in the Department of Anatomy, IPGMR Dhaka from October 1996 to March 1997. Materials: 40 (forty) thymuses from Bangladeshi cadaver of either sex were taken for this study. Method: The collected samples were divided into four age groups ranged from still born to sixty years old individuals and comparative studies were done between different age groups. Result: The thymuses increased significantly in weight steadily through the increasing age groups from the still born babies to <16yrs and then declines through the age still higher. Conclusion: In the present study the weight of the thymus increases through the increasing age groups and then declined. Key words: Thymus; Weight DOI: 10.3329/bja.v8i1.6101 Bangladesh Journal of Anatomy January 2010, Vol. 8 No. 1 pp. 10-12

孟加拉人胸腺重量的年龄相关变化

背景:胸腺与机体的免疫调节机制密切相关，在特定人群中，胸腺的总体重量以及不同年龄的胸腺重量也可能与该人群的整体免疫状况有关。因此胸腺的重量的知识在不同的年龄可能是有用的在规划的医疗和手术治疗胸腺从免疫方面相关的问题以及处理病人目的:测量年龄相关改变体重胸腺的孟加拉人研究设计:一种描述性的研究地点和时间的研究:研究进行了解剖学系,IPGMR达卡从1996年10月到1997年3月。材料:取孟加拉尸体胸腺40(40)只，男女不限。方法:将收集的样本分为从未出生到60岁的4个年龄组，并在不同年龄组之间进行比较研究。结果:从死胎至16岁，胸腺重量随年龄的增长呈明显的稳定增长，然后随年龄的增长而下降。结论:胸腺重量随年龄增长呈先增加后下降的趋势。关键词:胸腺;重量DOI: 10.3329/bja.v8i1.6101孟加拉解剖学杂志2010年1月，卷8 No. 1 pp. 10-12
