Voices of donors: Case reports of body donation in Hong Kong

Body donation is important for medical education and academic research. However, it is relatively rare in Hong Kong when compared with many Western countries. Comprehensive research has been performed on the motivation for body donation in Western countries; however, there is still insufficient research on body donation in Hong Kong to provide information on how to increase the body‐donation rate. To understand the factors involved in the decision to donate one's body, the authors interviewed a registered donor and the daughter of another donor in Hong Kong. The authors interpreted the information collected in light of the available published reports, which mostly focus on body donation in Western countries. Despite the consistency of some demographic factors and motivations between the participants in our study and those investigated in the published reports from Western countries, there are differences in education level and socioeconomic status between the donors in our study and those from Western studies. The authors also suggest that Confucianism and Buddhism in Chinese culture may motivate potential body donors in Hong Kong. Other important factors that influence the body‐donation decision may include family members' body donation, registration as organ donors, and good doctor–patient relationships. Although case report studies have their limitations, this study allows us to explore the complexity of events and establish the interconnectivity of factors involved in body donation, which could not be achieved in previous survey‐based studies. © 2012 American Association of Anatomists.  相似文献   

Dissecting the dissectors: Knowledge,attitude, and practice of body bequests by Nigerian anatomists     

Emeka G. Anyanwu  Emmanuel N. Obikili 《Anatomical sciences education》2012,5(6):347-353

Anatomy education in most African countries is limited by an insufficient number of cadavers for students to undertake dissection. This already significant shortage is exacerbated by an increasing number of medical schools and students. Virtual dissections are impractical in alleviating such a shortfall in African anatomy education, and further cadaver supply is challenged by unethical and dubious sources. This study was designed to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practice of whole body and organ donation by Nigerian anatomists with the aim of finding solutions to the problems associated with the availability of cadavers in Nigerian medical schools. Out of 46 anatomists that participated in the survey, only 23.9% would consider donating their whole bodies and 60.9% their organs. More than 95% of respondents did not believe that body bequests could become the sole source of cadavers for anatomic dissection in Nigeria. Age and gender were not statistically significant in the choice of being a body or organ donor. The unacceptability to one's family members regarding body donation was the major reason for respondents' unwillingness to make a whole body donation. None of the 14 medical schools sampled in this study have yet instituted a body registration and donation program. The anatomists showed a high level of knowledge and awareness of body bequest programs, which were not reflected by their attitudes and practice. The authors recommend proactive measures aimed at improving the perception and attitudes of Nigerian anatomists. Anat Sci Educ. © 2012 American Association of Anatomists.  相似文献   

美国大学校友捐赠长盛不衰的组织要素考察     

张继华  滕明兰 《比较教育研究》2012,34(1):82-86

美国大学的校友组织在促进校友捐赠的实践中发挥着重要的作用。从校友组织内部考察,健全的校友组织机构、明确的组织职责、以情感为核心的组织文化以及科学的组织策略是美国大学校友捐赠长盛不衰的核心要素;从组织外部环境考察,美国联邦政府的相关法律规制和对高等教育捐赠的政策支持,是美国大学校友捐赠长盛不衰的根本性要素。校友组织在内外部诸要素相互依存与作用下,强化和持续了校友的捐赠行为,保持了校友捐赠的长盛不衰。  相似文献   

The Influence of Academic Migration on the Intellectual Potential of Russia     

Natalia V. Latova  Vladimir I. Savinkov 《European Journal of Education》2012,47(1):64-76

The emigration of highly-qualified academics (‘brain drain’) is considered an essential factor in the decline of the human capital of post-Soviet Russia. However, statistics show that the scale of this phenomenon since 2000 was minor. The Russian scientists who went abroad for permanent residence or for a contract job abroad represented no more than 2% of Russian scientists with Candidate or Doctor of Science degrees. Yet, at the same time, the relatively new concept of ‘brain circulation’ gains more popularity. The departure of Russian scientists abroad is not only a threat to the development of domestic science but, paradoxically, also the chance to give additional stimulus to its development.  相似文献

油橄榄叶提取物对铅中毒小鼠脑中单胺氧化酶活性的影响   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

王昱 《绵阳师范学院学报》2012,31(2):67-69

目的：探讨油橄榄叶提取物（OLE）对铅中毒小鼠脑中单胺氧化酶（MAO）活性的影响。方法：选健康小鼠,每日灌胃醋酸铅溶液的同时灌胃不同剂量的OLE进行治疗,连续用药30 d,用比色法检测脑中MAO活性的变化。结果：与正常对照组相比,模型对照组和OLE治疗组小鼠脑中MAO活性明显升高。但小鼠灌胃OLE后脑中MAO的活性与模型对照组相比,明显降低。结论：OLE对铅中毒小鼠脑中MAO活性的增强具有抑制作用。  相似文献
