One of the most widely used solutions to fix and preserve organic tissues is formaldehyde, despite reservations regarding its toxicity and the fact that formaldehyde-embalmed bodies lose their original characteristics. Anatomy laboratories have been replacing formaldehyde with solutions that retain the characteristics of fresh tissue. For this purpose, alternative solutions with a very low concentration of formaldehyde or without any formaldehyde have been analyzed. The objective of this study was to compare biometry, coloration, haptic properties, and bacterial load on animal specimens (pig kidneys) embalmed with formaldehyde, and with Chilean Conservative Fixative Solution with and without formaldehyde (formaldehyde chCFS and formaldehyde-free chCFS). Also, the perception of health and biological science students toward specimens treated with different solutions was assessed. The results indicated that there were no significant differences in specimens’ retraction, or bacterial load. Students showed a preference for organs embalmed in formaldehyde chCFS and formaldehyde-free chCFS; indicating that with these treatments they could better visualize structures and that the prosections had greater flexibility and the colors were more similar to those of fresh tissue. Additionally, students recommended the material embalmed in formaldehyde chCFS and formaldehyde-free chCFS for anatomy learning. In contrast, students indicated that formaldehyde-fixation negatively affected their practical experience. In conclusion, embalming with formaldehyde chCFS or formaldehyde-free chCFS provides an advantageous practical experience over the use of formaldehyde and may be an alternative to replace the use of formaldehyde in anatomy laboratories.  相似文献

在全球变化影响下,我国西藏高原的生态环境问题日益突出,严重影响了其生态安全屏障作用,制约了西藏农牧业的可持续发展。中科院拉萨高原生态试验站自建站以来对区域生态环境进行了长期监测,开展了高原生态安全屏障功能保护与建设基础理论研究、退化草地恢复治理及农牧业发展关键技术研发和示范。在学科建设方面发展了一系列高原生态学研究的新方法,建立了高原生态过程、机理与区域格局相结合的研究局面;在技术研发方面提出了高寒退化草地恢复治理和高原草牧业发展的关键技术,并进行了广泛的示范和推广,取得了显著成效。这些科研成果不仅丰富和发展了全球变化影响西藏高原生态屏障功能的基础理论,还推进了高原农牧业发展关键技术的研发和示范。拉萨站已经成为在青藏高原腹地从事生态学研究的支撑平台和农牧业可持续发展试验示范的重要基地。  相似文献   

Alternative Conceptions in Animal Classification Focusing on Amphibians and Reptiles: A Cross-Age Study     

Chiung-Fen?YenEmail author  Tsung-Wei?Yao  Yu-Chih?Chiu 《International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education》2004,2(2):159-174

This study examined students alternative conceptions of reptiles and amphibians and the extent to which these conceptions remain intact through the elementary (grades 4 and 6), junior, and senior high school years. We administered multiple-choice and free-response instruments to a total of 513 students and interviewed at least 20 students at each educational level to get an in-depth view of their original conceptions. Then, we developed and administered a two-tier multiple choice diagnostic instrumentto assess various levels of students understanding of amphibians and reptiles(N=1267). The results showed that most students were able to classify snakes as reptiles, whereas fewer than 30% of the students across different ages classified sea turtles as reptiles; the remaining 70% classified sea turtles as amphibians. More students were able to correctly classify frogs as amphibians than toads. In most instances, students correctly classified prototypical representatives of the two animal classes more readily than less exemplary representatives, a finding that supports previous research (Trowbridge, J.E. andMintzes, J.J. (1988). Alternative conceptions in animal classification: A cross-age study. Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 25(7), 547–571). Interestingly, the alternative views of sea turtles as amphibians remained intact throughout the school years. Interview data indicated that students classified sea turtles as amphibians largely because sea turtles are able to live in terrestrial and aquatic habitats. Semantically, amphi means living on land and in water. When asked to distinguish between reptiles and amphibians and to classify several species into those two groups, a wide range of alternative conceptions emerged and the origin of those alternative conceptions are discussed. Similar results were obtained when we applied a two-tier multiple-choice diagnostic instrument to assess students understanding of amphibians and reptiles.  相似文献

全球有近10亿脑疾病患者,每年约带来经济负担1万亿美元。目前,绝大部分脑疾病尚无有效治疗方法。因此,脑疾病机理研究和新药开发十分迫切。由于进化上相近,非人灵长类的脑在结构、功能活动等多方面与人类高度相似。因此,相对于其他实验动物,非人灵长类具有解决人类问题,特别是脑相关问题的独特优势。它们除了是研究人类正常脑高级功能的关键实验动物外,还是最好的研究脑疾病机理和治疗方法的模型动物。中国不但有丰富的非人灵长类资源,而且在猕猴建模方面有很好的积累,尤其在转基因疾病猕猴模型创建方面,目前处于世界领先的地位。文章分析了脑疾病领域的国家战略需求,总结了国内外非人灵长类的应用情况,以及国内非人灵长类模型现状。在此基础上,对我国非人灵长类模型领域下一步发展的重点提出了建议。  相似文献

梵净山国家自然保护区两栖动物分类修订     

张雷 《铜仁学院学报》2008,10(5):123-126

随着两栖动物新种、新属和国内新纪录等陆续发表,导致梵净山两栖动物分类地位陈旧,有许多与当前分类标准不符,给梵净山两栖动物以后的研究带来不便．本文对其分类地位修改进行专门总结,发现与以前相比,梵净山两栖动物科、种数量未变,但一些目、属、种名和原隶于蛙属的种及原隶于锄足蟾科的属分类有改动,同时增加了4亚目、5亚科和5属的分类阶元。这样梵净山拥有两栖动物就由原2目（1亚目）8科11属34种变为2目（5亚目）8科（5亚科）16属34种．  相似文献
