［编者按］生物塑化（Ｐｌａｓｔｉｎａｔｉｏｎ）技术由德国海德堡大学解剖学研究所于１９８２年创用，是研究断面解剖学和保存标本的一种性能良好的先进技术，已在许多国家推广应用。第三军医大学解剖学教研主博士张绍祥教授曾到德国进修学习，并于１９９３年引进了该项技术和相应设备，建立了生物塑化实验室，并结合课题项目，开展了研究工作．本刊约请作者对该项技术的原理、基本设备和应用体会等作一介绍，以供开展该项技术的单位借鉴． [Editor’s note] Plastination was created in 1982 by the University of Heidelberg Institute of Anatomy, Germany. Plastination is a well-developed advanced technique for studying anatomy and preserving specimens and has been used in many countries. Professor Zhang Shaoxiang, chief physician of the Department of Anatomy at the Third Military Medical University, went to Germany for further study. In 1993, he introduced the technology and related equipment and established a laboratory for bioplastics and conducted research work on the basis of the project. This journal invites the author to introduce the principle of the technology, basic equipment and application experience for the unit to carry out the technology for reference.
