Resumo: The embalming of a cadaver to study anatomy in humans, animals, and for expositions in biological museums is classically performed by formaldehyde injection. Despite its efficiency and wide application, this method delivers technical problems and high toxicity. Through an experimental model with Wistar rats previously embalmed in formalin, we developed two converting solutions (G1 and G2) to perform a macroscopic and qualitative analysis of the embalming maintenance, the color, the fungus proliferation, the pliability, and the post-conversion dissection of the specimens. This work aims to present the results of this experiment and discuss the data. After 365 days of the experiment, both solutions showed benefits in terms of reduction of toxicity, the use of a single solution to convert, storage without the need for containers with embalming solution, containment of fungus proliferation, and improvement of the color of the organs. Although these are the initial results without full achievement, we consider the G1 solution a suitable and advantageous alternative for the museology area.

A pesar de su eficacia y amplia aplicación, el uso de esta técnica revela problemas técnicos y de toxicidad. Mediante un modelo experimental utilizando ratas Wistar previamente fijadas con formaldehído, desarrollamos y probamos dos soluciones convertidoras (G1 y G2) para analizar macroscópicamente y cualitativamente la toxicidad, manteniendo la fijación de la pieza, la coloración de estructuras anatómicas, proliferación fúngica y flexibilidad de las estructuras para una posible disección posterior a la conversión. El objetivo de este trabajo es presentar los resultados preliminares de este experimento. Luego de 365 días de experimentación, ambas soluciones mostraron beneficios en cuanto a: reducción de la toxicidad por olor, uso de una sola solución en piezas ya formalizadas, almacenamiento sin necesidad de tanques que contengan líquido fijador, contención de la proliferación de hongos y mejora del color. Aunque no se ha logrado el resultado inicialmente recomendado, consideramos que la solución utilizada en G1 es una alternativa ventajosa para el área de museología.A fixação de peças cadavéricas para o estudo da anatomia humana, animal, e para exposições em museus de biologia é classicamente realizada por meio da injeção de solução de formaldeído.  Apesar da sua eficiência e larga aplicação, a utilização dessa técnica revela problemas técnicos e relativos a toxicidade. Através de um modelo experimental utilizando ratos Wistar previamente fixados com formaldeído, elaboramos e testamos duas soluções conversoras (G1 e G2) para analisar macroscopicamente e qualitativamente a toxicidade, a manutenção da fixação da peça, a coloração das estruturas anatômicas, a proliferação fúngica e a flexibilidade das estruturas para possível dissecação pós-conversão. O objetivo desse trabalho é apresentar os resultados preliminares desse experimento. Após 365 dias de experimento, ambas as soluções demonstraram benefício quanto: diminuição da toxicidade ao odor, utilização de solução única em peças já formolizadas, armazenamento sem necessidade de tanques contendo líquido fixador, contenção da proliferação fúngica e melhora da coloração. Embora o resultado preconizado inicialmente não tenha sido alcançado, consideramos a solução utilizada em G1 uma alternativa vantajosa para área de museologia. Research, Society and Development2021-01-08info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/1157510.33448/rsd-v10i1.11575Research, Society and Development; Vol. 10 No. 1; e21510111575Research, Society and Development; Vol. 10 Núm. 1; e21510111575Research, Society and Development; v. 10 n. 1; e215101115752525-3409reponame:Research, Society and Developmentinstname:Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)instacron:UNIFEIenghttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/11575/10423Copyright (c) 2021 Amanda Teixeira Prata; Josemberg da Silva Baptistahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessPrata, Amanda TeixeiraBaptista, Josemberg da Silva 2021-02-20T21:19:23Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/11575Revistahttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/indexPUBhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/oairsd.articles@gmail.com2525-34092525-3409opendoar:2024-01-17T09:33:21.952116Research, Society and Development - Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)false
