RESUMO
Objective To explore the effectiveness of virtual autopsy-based postmortem computed tomography(PMCT)liver three dimensional slicer(3D slicer)artificial intelligence(AI)volume reconstruction to assist forensic practice.Methods Twenty cases of the deceased who underwent both virtual autopsy and traditional autopsy in our center were selected and subjected to liver volume segmentation by 3D slicer method,Tada's formula method and literature method,and the data obtained from the traditional autopsy were compared and analyzed to obtain the accuracy rate.Results The 3D slicer method yielded higher consistency(95%confidence interval),lower volumetric variability(standard deviation),and a smaller region(variance)of uncertainty than the Tada formula method and the methods mentioned in the literature.Conclusion 3D slicer AI reconstruction based on virtual autopsy can visualize virtual anatomy,help increase the diagnostic accuracy of traditional autopsy,assist in pathological diagnosis,and provide new directions and tools for the development of imaging histology of virtual autopsy.
RESUMO
Objective To establish a rapid specific quantitative assay for Bacillus anthracis detection. Methods According to the principle of complex probe quantitative assay, the primers and quantitative probes targeted at chromatosome DNA rpoB were designed and applied to detect Bacillus anthracis. The influence factor of quantitative PCR were determined. Results The optimal system of this method was aquired: the length of quenching probe is 15mer,the ratio of fluorescent probe to quenching probe is 1/2 and the concentrtion of Mg 2+ is 3 mmol/L.The sensitivity of this assay for Bacillus anthracis is 10 3 copies. It can distinguish Bacillus anthracis from other closely related Bacillus. Conclusion The method can rapidly quantitatively detect the Bacillus anthracis with high sensitivity and specificity, it can be applied to clinical diagnosis.
