Department of Pediatric Neurosurgery, Bogdanowicz Memorial Hospital for Children, Niekłańska 4/24, 03-924 Warsaw, Poland. ABSTRACT: S10 silicone technique is the world’s most popular plastination technique. Specimens obtained in S10 plastination retain their shape and color while gaining the hardness and consistency of hard silicone plastic. However, the specimens remain those of tissues and organs, which means that they still constitute biological material susceptible to microbial colonization. Reports of plastinated specimens being infected with various microbial species have been published in the literature. With consideration to the above, this study consisted of swab cultures being collected from surfaces of various organ specimens which had been plastinated using the S10 technique five years earlier. Microbial assays were also performed for the surfaces of anatomical models and dissecting room surfaces frequently touched by the students. As a result, various microfloral species were detected on the dissecting room surfaces, anatomical models, and bone tissue specimens while no bacterial or fungal growth was observed on plastinated samples.","PeriodicalId":36740,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Plastination","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45571540","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study elucidated how temperature might affect plastination, noting that there is sparse scientific literature on this technique, especially from Africa. It is also relevant to the feasibility of adapting and adopting the technique as a feasible and useful laboratory technique in developing countries, where technological advancement, finance, and socio-cultural factors are suspected to be strong determinants to this effect. The S10 plastination technique is usually done at cold temperature (-25° C), but this study investigated and compared the effects of plastinating at room temperature (~25° C). The four main stages of plastination were carried for the control group while the ‘diffusion’ principle was employed for Group B. The forced impregnation process is typically carried out under vacuum at cold temperature (-25° C) with the use of an additional, relatively costly, refrigerated impregation chamber. Ten adult (n=10) human brains were randomly assigned to two groups (A and B), comprising 5 brains each. Forced impregnation of the Group A brains was performed at -25° C (cold temperature), and the ‘diffusion’ impregnation procedure was carried out for the Group B brains at 25° C (room temperature). The Group B brains required less time for draining compared to Group A. Both methods yielded brain plastinates with the basic features of plastination outcomes. The weights of the brains (g) were recorded at each stage of the process using the digital Sartorius ENTRIS 4202-1S balance. The volumes were also measured at each stage using Archimedes’ principles of fluid displacement in a calibrated glass jar (cm3). The room temperature specimens yielded better specimens in terms of relative weight loss, relative colour preservation, physical properties, and texture and preservation of surface features and brain surface topographies.","PeriodicalId":36740,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Plastination","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43651700","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This process is gaining popularity for its benefits as a teaching and research tool in anatomy. The process is based on replacement of water and fat by forced impregnation, after replacing the water by an intermediate solvent, to produce hard, dry and odorless specimens. However, due to the specialized equipment and expensive chemicals, such as polymer, that are needed for plastination, we desired to simplify the process and embed the samples completely in paraffin wax. In this process, the water and fat were replaced by paraffin, yielding specimens that can be touched, that do not smell or decay, and that even retain most properties of the original sample. Various freshlycollected visceral organs of goat were used for preparing specimens. These organs were dissected out to expose different gross anatomical features. The specimens were fixed in 10% formalin, hardened in a deep freeze, dehydrated and dried in freeze dryer, impregnated with melted paraffin, cured, and then stored at room temperature for further use as educational tool. The prepared wax-impregnated specimens were clean, dry, odorless, durable, non-toxic, and can be handled by bare hands and do not require any special storage care. This method will strengthen the appearance, clarity of surface anatomy, and description of other parts, as well as practical demonstrations in undergraduate teaching, and enhance the anatomical museum collection. The anatomical accuracy and durability of these specimens make them powerful tools to accelerate knowledge acquisition, and strengthens diagnostic abilities for veterinary students utilizing a wider variety of learning strategies.","PeriodicalId":36740,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Plastination","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45530834","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

ABSTRACT: For centuries, cadavers have been the traditional model of teaching gross anatomy. However, with the large time investment and high cost of maintenance associated with cadavers, studying anatomy via plastinated specimens has become increasingly attractive. Plastination is a novel technique for preservation of the human body by replacing water content with polymers, creating specimens that are dry, odorless, durable, and nontoxic. In 2016, The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston School of Dentistry (UTSD) underwent a significant curriculum reform by replacing cadaveric specimens with plastinated prosections. Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate our dental students’ and residents’ perceptions of learning anatomy from cadavers or plastinated specimens, and to determine if student performance in anatomy lab exams have changed since this reform. Methods: A survey was administered to dental students and residents who studied anatomy via cadavers and/or plastinated specimens. Lab exam scores from the past six years were compared in these two models of anatomy instruction. Results: More than half of students in all cohorts believed that plastinated prosections can effectively replace the need for dissection. ANOVA analysis revealed that the switch from cadavers to plastinated specimens had a significant improvement of lab exam scores. Conclusions: At UTSD, the shift in learning anatomy from cadavers to plastinated specimens increased student satisfaction with anatomy instruction and improved student performance in the course.","PeriodicalId":36740,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Plastination","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46885797","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
