ABSTRACT
The effects of observation program of cadaver dissection for paramedical students were surveyed and obtained the following results. After observation of cadaver dissection, the students who will participate next time with their own will, who think this program is essential for anatomy study, who understand the orientation contents, and who think their anatomical knowledge elevated were increased. However, the number staffs of medical school who think this program is essential for paramedical students were about 1/3. The problems obtained in the observation program of cadaver dissection were discordance with teaching schedule, long orientation and observation time, and the 1/2 or above staffs leading this program were teaching assistants and medical students. Through this observation program of cadaver dissection, the paramedical students were aware of the meaning of cadaver donation and the noble will of donors certainly, and gained an opportunity feel the dignity of life.

Cadaver donation has far-reaching social significance, but currently it cannot satisfy the practical need. Through making stochastic visits to part of dwellers in Chongqing urban districts, to find out the main obstacles to cadaver donation. Then compared to the similar activities like blood donation, we learn about the experiences of such public service activities to get further improvement of cadaver donation.
ABSTRACT
In the past, all cadaver dissections for the education of medical students were performed with one who has sickened and died unidentified by the roadside. Recently, needs for cadaver donations are increasing more and more due to decrease of unidentified dead bodies with economical development and improvement of environment. However, in spite of increasing cadaver donations, demographic studies on the cadaver donors haven't been performed until now. In this study, demographic characteristics such as sex, age, cause of death, and educational level on 107 cadaver donors from 1998 to 2000 were investigated and compared them to the data from 'annual report on the cause of death statistics' published by national statistical office. Male cadaver donors occupied 71.9% (77 persons) and female occupied 28.1% (30 persons). Age related proportions revealed 16.8% with ages over 70, 23.4% with ages from 60 to 69, 28.0% with ages from 50 to 59, 17.8% with ages from 40 to 49, 10.3% with ages from 30 to 39, and only 3.7% with ages less than 30. Most frequent causes of death among the cadaver donors were diseases from malignant neoplasm (35.7%) and circulatory system (33.9%). Educational levels above high-school graduation occupied 49.5% among cadaver donors whereas proportion of educational levels above high-school graduation among overall dead persons in 1998 was only 19.7%. Results from this study could be practiced as important basic data base for the expansion of cadaver donation campaigns and organized regular future studies on the demographic characteristics of cadaver donors.

To get the information about civil attitudes and main affecting factors of cadaver donation in Zhengzhou.Make stochastic visits to part of dwellers in Zhengzhou urban districts and then study the statistical data.The main affecting factors are traditional ideas and unsound legal system.So,in order to have a good effect,we should strengthen the dissemination of cadaver donation,renovate ideas,and strengthen relevant legislation for cadaver donation.
ABSTRACT
To advocate cadaver donation is to advocate the spirit of devotion and scientific research.It has been proved in the development of modern medicine that many problems of medical education and stubborn diseases were solved by necrospy.However,currently the cadavers donated cannot satisfy practical need,mainly because that few people would voluntarily register to donate their bodies,and those among the registered who actually donated are even fewer.This paper analyzes three factors that contribute to the bottleneck in the cadaver donation.And on the basis of present situation,countermeasures are presented to solve the problems.
