| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Formaldehyde (FA) is widely used as a fix solution of the cadavers for anatomical training. However it is known that FA causes health problems such as respiratory failure and mucous membrane disorders. Furthermore, it has been attracting attention as a carcinogen.
Rapporteurs have tried to develop various embalming solutions to the cadavers and studied their fixed and antiseptic effect. The FA concentration could be successfully reduced to less than 1.0 ppm before thoracotomy and laparotomy. However, FA concentration increased after thoracotomy and laparotomy. Further countermeasures are required against FA in the cadavers' splandnnic organs.
