Plastination is a unique technique of tissue preservation developed by Dr. Gunther von Hagens in Heidelberg, Germany, in 1978. In this process, water and lipids in biological tissues are replaced by curable polymers which are subsequently hardened, resulting in dry, odorless and durable specimens. In neuroanatomy silicone and polyester resins are used. Silicone rubber is used for whole brains and brain dissections resulting in natural looking specimens. Polyester resin is used for brain slices resulting in an excellent distinction between gray and white matter. The silicone S 10 standard technique and the polyester P 35 technique are described in detail. The advantages of plastinated specimens in neuroanatomy teaching and research are discussed.
塑化是1978年由德国海德堡的冈瑟·冯·哈根斯博士研发的一种独特的组织保存技术。在此过程中，生物组织中的水和脂质被可固化聚合物取代，这些聚合物随后硬化，从而得到干燥、无臭且耐用的标本。在神经解剖学中使用硅酮和聚酯树脂。硅橡胶用于完整大脑和脑部解剖，可得到外观自然的标本。聚酯树脂用于脑切片，能出色地区分灰质和白质。详细描述了硅酮S 10标准技术和聚酯P 35技术。讨论了塑化标本在神经解剖学教学和研究中的优势。
