Research Progress of Hyperspectral Imaging Technology in Biological Evidence / 法医学杂志

Hyperspectral imaging technology can obtain the spatial and spectral three-dimensional imaging of substances simultaneously, and obtain the unique continuous characteristic spectrum of substances in a wide spectrum range at a certain spatial resolution, which has outstanding advantages in the fine classification and identification of biological substances. With the development of hyperspectral imaging technology, a large amount of data has been accumulated in the exploration of data acquisition, image processing and material inspection. As a new technology means, hyperspectral imaging technology has its unique advantages and wide application prospects. It can be combined with the common biological physical evidence of blood (stains), saliva, semen, sweat, hair, nails, bones, etc., to achieve rapid separation, inspection and identification of substances. This paper introduces the basic theory of hyperspectral imaging technology and its application in common biological evidence examination research and analyzes the feasibility and development of biological evidence testing and identification, in order to provide a theoretical basis for the development of new technology and promote hyperspectral imaging technology in related biological examination, to better serve the forensic practice.

The Discussion of semen stains examination in the field of forensic applications / 中国法医学杂志

Objective To investigate the significance of a comprehensive test on the semen stain in the field of forensic evidence;Methods PSA tests performed on samples obtained supernatant and sediment STR genotyping by differential lysis method;Results Through STR testing,there are inconsistencies with the PSA test results in which 13 cases of false positive and false negative in 1 case.The supernatant was detected in two cases of male component,coeducational 9 cases;Conclusion PSA test strips there are some false positive and false negative rate,test isolated by the difference lysis supernatant can not only increase the success rate of the fine on the semen stain can also as a supplement to bring more valuable information for the semen stain.

Advanced technologies in semen stain identification / 中华男科学杂志

Semen stain identification is one of the crucial tasks for collection of criminal evidence by forensic techniques. Substances such as DNA and RNA contained in semen stains can serve as a source of personalized evidence targeting the suspect. Therefore, semen stain identification is vital to inferring the case attributes and the facts of the crime. The conventional methods of forensic stain identification focus on the detection of specific-function protein and/or high-content protein, such as alkaline phosphatase and PSA. Although the specificity of such protein markers is relatively high, these methods yield a limited rate of success for several factors, including poor stability, low sensitivity of the target protein, and possible subjectivity of the performer. In order to overcome these limitations, new technologies such as Raman spectroscopy, mass spectrometry for protein markers, sperm-specific aptamer, mRNA, microRNA, and DNA methylation assays have been studied and recommended by many investigators. These new technologies are paving a new ground for personalized trace analysis and even for detection of over-timed specimens.

ESTABLISHMENT OF HYBRIDOMA CELL LINES (G8,E10) SECRETING MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES AGAINST HUMAN SPERMATOZOA / 中国法医学杂志

Two hybridoma cell lines (G8,E10) secreting monoclonal antibodies against human spermatozoa were established by fusing Sp2/0 mouse myeloma cells with splenocytes from Balb/c mice immunized with washed human spermatozoa. The results of the IIF, Elisa or peroxidase conjugated antibody im- munohistochemical staining demonstrated that both antibodies reacted with the spermatozoa in the human semen, testis, epididymus and vas deferens as well as the germ cells in the testis, cross reacted with the epithelial cells Of the thyroid gland, renal tubules, pancreatic ducts as well as the ilets of Langhans of the pancrease and not cross reacted with 33 normal human tissue cells, 9 different sources of body fluids and secretions as well as 8 different species of animal's spermatozoa. It is concluded that both monoclonal antibodies can be used for the species identification of semen stain in sex assault cases. The results of IIF demonstrated that each antibody bind to the localized region of the sperm cell surface. The antibody binding patterns were restricted to the acromosal cap, equatorial segment, postacromosal region, neck and the midpiece. The observed antibody binding patterns suggest that the human sperm surface is divided into a minimum of five domains. Both monoclonal antibodies were belong to IgG_1 subclass. The titre of Gs was 1∶512, while of E_(10) 1∶1024.

IDENTIFICATION OF HUMAN SEMEN STAIN BY THE LATEX PARTICLE AGGLUTINATION INHIBITION TEST / 中国法医学杂志

Identification of the human semen stain is reported using the latex particle agg-lutination inhibition test.The latex particles were coated with the human seminalplasma.The raw antihuman semen sera were previously absorbed with the humancolostrum.The results indicated that this method was more sensitive and acc-urate than sperm detection method.The sensitivty and the accuracy of the latex-particle agglutination inhibition test is the same as those of the double immunodiffusion test-using anti-p30 serum.Moreover,this method is easy to porform,nottime consuming and more practical.
