Objectives : This study is to verify the organ weights in Nanjing based on the weights of five viscera (çéíô) in autopsy studies of modern times.
Methods : Contents on organ weights from many annotations and articles on Nanjing were collected. Organ weights in autopsy studies dealt in many countries including China, India, U.S. and Korea were collected. Among the data, the average weights of liver, heart, spleen, pancreas, lung and kidney of males in the age of 18 to 60 were calculated, and the ratio of each organ was examined. Based on those results, the organ weights of Nanjing were evaluated.
Results & Conclusions : There is a close correspondence between the organ weight ratios of liver(ÊÜ), heart(ãý), lung(øË) and kidney(ãì) in Nanjing and those in autopsy studies. It proves that the organ weights in Nanjing were recorded based on an actual dissection. As a result of the analysis on autopsy studies, the average organ weights and the ratio among the organs were: liver 1416g(43.0%), heart 296g(9.0%), lung 1047g(31.8%), kidney 273g(8.3%), spleen 264g(4.5%) and pancrease 113g(3.4%). The weight of liver in Nanjing shall be 4 jin and 4 liang(4ÐÅ4Õ×) instead of 2 jin and 4 liang(2ÐÅ4Õ×) to occupy proper proportion out of other organs. It is highly possible that the weight of spleen(Þ¡) in Nanjing is including the weight of pancrease(ߤÍÇ), and the weight shall be 1 jin and 1 liang(1ÐÅ1Õ×) or 1 jin and 2 liang(1ÐÅ2Õ×) instead of 2 jin and 3 liang(2ÐÅ3Õ×) to occupy proper proportion out of other organs.
