ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the application value of identification on drown by detection 16SrDNA of the diatoms in rabbits' internal organs in summer month of July and winter month of December in YongJiang River of Ningbo. Methods 60 Rabbits were randomly and medially divided into three groups in summer and winter: drowning group, postmortem immersion group and using only lethal aeroembolism as control group. Specimen including heart, liver, lung and kidney from each rabbit were tested with diatom 16SrDNA PCR method. Results Compared with postmortem immersion group, detection rate of diatom 16SrDNA of heart, liver, lung, renal tissue in drowning group was significantly higher than that in summer month of July (P<0.05), In December, the 16SrDNA of the drowning group was detected in heart and lung tissues, There was no significant difference compared with postmortem immersion group (P>0.05) In summer month of July, detection rate of 16SrDNA of heart, liver, lung, renal tissues in drowning group was significantly higher than that in winter month of December (P<0.05). Diatom 16SrDNA of heart, liver, lung, kidney tissues in air embolism group were not detected In summer month of July and winter month of December. Conclusion With the higher detection rate of diatom 16SrDNA in drowning rabbit in summer, the diatom 16SrDNA PCR method can be used for the diagnosis of drowning in Yongjiang River of Ningbo; while in winter , it should be carefully apllied with the lower detection rate of diatom 16SrDNA.
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the variations of biochemical indicators in serum followed the different contusion on soft tissues and also analyze their significance in forensic practice.Methods The SD rats were selected as experimental animal as well as were randomly divided into four groups: sham control,mild,medium and strong force depending on the height of strike falling in anesthesia state.Sacrificed the rats at the same time point and harvested the blood.Serumal creatine kinase(CK),isoenzyme of creatine kinase(CK-MB),lactate dehydrogenase(LDH),creatinine(Cr),urea nitrogen(UN) ?-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase(HBDH) and aspartic acid transferase(AST) were tested.The data were analyzed quantitatively with SPSS 12.0.Results The AST,CK,CK-Mb,HBDH,UN and Cr all increased accompanied with higher scale of strike.The statistics showed that a dramatically difference existed between the overall traumatic groups(including to the mild,medium and strong) and the control.The AST,CK and CK-MB showed significant differences in 3 experimental groups.Meanwhile,the perimeter of the traumatic limbs was a good marker for the power of the strike.Conclusion The contusion not only appeared in the local areas but also cause the myocardial damage in the period of early trauma.
ABSTRACT
With the development of medical technique and the improvement of society,more and people are paying attention to the ethics of death.But the ethics on forensic autopsy-the wildly used technology-lagged behind.We discussed the subject related to forensic autopsy in theory and practice,expecting to have an advanced research.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To make research on the ethical problems of autopsy in medical dispute and propose corresponding solutions.Method: By discussing some real cases.Result: We has proposed some ways to solve these problems after classifying these cases into four groups: hospital, relatives, news media, and autopsy organization.
