Anatomical education has traditionally used cadaveric material to study the human body, with both wet prosections and plastinated (PP) material commonly utilized. However, the frequency of use of these different preparation modes in a tertiary institution has not been previously examined. An audit of PP use in the Department of Anatomy and Structural Biology at the University of Otago was performed for 2009, assessing the number of courses, variety, and number of PP used throughout 2009. Results indicate the unique and diverse nature of PP utilization and are discussed with reference to their relative strengths and weaknesses. Such information is useful to those wishing to initiate or maintain programs that involve the teaching of human anatomy with cadaveric material.
解剖学教育传统上使用尸体材料来研究人体，通常使用湿切片和塑化（PP）材料。然而，以前没有检查过这些不同准备模式在高等教育机构中的使用频率。对奥塔哥大学解剖学和结构生物学系 2009 年 PP 使用情况进行了审核，评估了 2009 年全年使用的课程数量、种类和 PP 数量。结果表明了 PP 使用的独特性和多样性，并参考其相对优缺点进行了讨论。这些信息对于那些希望启动或维持涉及使用尸体材料教授人体解剖学的课程的人很有用。
