AN EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON MEASUREMENT AND PREDICTION OF SKULL BONE STRENGTH BY MEANS OF QUANTIT ATIVE COMPUTED T0MOGRAPHY / 中国法医学杂志

This investigation determined the content of water,organic components and mineral of 80 skullparital bones from cadavers. Basing on semistatic test of anti-bending and anti-compressive mechanicsthe bone mineral contents were measured by quantitative computed tomogrophy. The relationship be-tween bone mineral contents and the mechanical properties was showed. The results suggested thatthere are positive interrelationship between anti-bending strength and skull spongiosa and betweenanti. compressive strength and skull compacta interna (r = O. 51 and O. 34, P

An experimental study of the age estimation of male teenager by the changes of the osteophiphysis observed on the X-ray film / 中国法医学杂志

Study on the changes of osteophiphysis observed on the X ray film is quite practical for the age estimation of male teenager.210 male teenager cases,13～20 years old,from North China were studied for age estimation.Radiographic plates were taken from the following articles:shoulder joint,elbow joint,wrist joint,hipjoint,knee joint,ankle joint.Pedis 27 characteristics were found,phased and scored.By which the regression equations were constructed with SPSS.Four regression equations with highest multi relationship coefficient(r=0 758～0 787)and lowest standard error(SE=1 0136～1 0701)were then selected.The method presented here is quite useful for the age estimation of the teenage group in North China.
