49例一氧化碳中毒死亡特征分析

对CO中毒死亡案件的判定,主要是依据血碳氧血红蛋白（COHb）浓度。但在实际案例中,会遇到血COHb浓度低于致死浓度的情况,从而对CO中毒死亡的判定带来了一定困难。本文通过分析49例CO中毒死亡案件的法医学特点,     

从高度腐败的尸体脏器中检出液化石油气成份

液化石油气主要由低沸点的甲烷、乙烷、丙烷、丁烷、异丁烷及其他烯烃组成。由于产地和工艺不同，各组份的含量比有所不同。由于它们的沸点差异较大，很难在同一色谱条件下对所有成份进行分析。一般情况下，只对丙烷、丁烷、异丁烷进行分析。在常态下，低浓度时，液化石油气中的烃类气体对人无毒，但在高浓度时，由于烃气占据了空间，排除了氧气，使人造成缺氧而窒息死亡。随着液化石油气的广泛应用，而造成的意外事故、自杀和谋杀的案件时有发生。国外有从人体脏器中检出液化石油气成份的报导”’国内有人研究过家免各脏器中液化石油气成份…

Homicidal Paraquat Poisoning

Paraquat poisoning usually results from suicide, occupational, or accidental exposure. Herein, we report a rare fatal case of homicidal paraquat poisoning. A 58‐year‐old man was poisoned by taking paraquat‐mixed medicine and wearing paraquat‐soaked underwear. In the absence of a history of paraquat exposure, the patient was misdiagnosed with pulmonary infection and scrotal dermatitis and died of respiratory failure 24 days after the initial exposure to paraquat. Ultra‐performance liquid chromatography‐tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC‐MS/MS) was applied to detect and quantify paraquat in postmortem specimens. The concentration of paraquat in postmortem specimens from high to low is lung (0.49 μg/g), brain (0.32 μg/g), kidney (0.24 μg/g), liver (0.20 μg/g), cardiac blood (0.11 μg/mL), and stomach wall (<LOQ). Identification of homicidal paraquat poisoning is not easy for a clinician or a forensic pathologist, it is important to consider the possibility of paraquat poisoning when patients suffer from rapidly aggravating pneumonia of unknown origin.     

Three cases of sudden death due to butane or propane gas inhalation: analysis of tissues for gas components

We report three cases of sudden death due to inhalation of portable cooking stove fuel (case 1), cigarette lighter fuel (case 2), and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) (case 3). Specimens of blood, urine, stomach contents, brain, heart, lung, liver, kidney, and fat were collected and analyzed for propylene, propane, isobutane, and n-butane by headspace gas chromatography. n-Butane was the major substance among the volatiles found in the tissues of cases 1 and 2, and propane was the major substance in case 3. A combination of the autopsy findings and the gas analysis results revealed that the cause of death was ventricular fibrillation induced by hard muscle exercise after gas inhalation in cases 1 and 2, and that the cause of death in case 3 might be hypoxia. It is possible that the victim in case 3 was under anesthetic toxicity of accumulated isobutane which is a minor component of liquefied petroleum gas.

Identification and quantitation of xenobiotics by 1H NMR spectroscopy in poisoning cases

In order to analyse a wide range of xenobiotics and their metabolites present in biological fluids, NMR spectroscopy can be used. A large variety of xenobiotics (therapeutic agents, pesticides, solvents, alcohols) can be characterized and quantitated directly, without sample preparation. NMR investigations were applied to acute poisoning cases, involving drugs such as salicylates and valproic acid (VPA). In a salicylate poisoning case, the three major metabolites of acetylsalicylic acid have been detected in crude urine, and rapid identification of lysine revealed the origin of the intoxication, namely lysine acetylsalicylate (Aspegic). Valproic acid as its glucuronide was identified in urine samples from two poisoned patients. 1H NMR was also used to identify and quantitate paraquat (Gramoxone) in urine owing to its two aromatic signals at 8.49 and 9.02 ppm, in two acutely poisoned patients (183 and 93 mg/l). An intentional poisoning case with tetrahydrofuran (THF) was also investigated. Serum and urine samples were collected. THF was characterized by its resonances at 1.90 and 3.76 ppm, and quantified at 813 and 850 mg/l in the two biological fluids, respectively. Moreover, two other compounds were detected: lactate and gamma-hydroxybutyric acid (GHB). 1H NMR spectroscopic analysis of serum samples from three poisoned patients revealed methanol in one case and ethylene glycol in the two others. Moreover, in the same spectrum, the corresponding metabolites formate and glycolate were found. Compared with the reference chromatographic or spectrophotometric methods, requiring time-consuming extraction and/or derivatization steps, NMR spectroscopy allows the determination of many exogenous and endogenous compounds, without any pre-selection of the analytes.     

Expressions of GABA and GABA(A)R-alpha1 in the brain of rats poisoned by tetramine

OBJECTIVE: Expressions of GABA and GABA(A)R-alpha1 in the brain of rats poisoned by Tetramine were analyzed to explore the intoxication mechanism. Methods Sixty rats were randomly divided into control, sham poisoned, high-dose poisoned (1.0 mg/kg tetramine) and low-dose poisoned (0.1 mg/kg) groups. The expressions of GABA and GABA(A)R-alpha1 in the brain of the poisoned rats were detected and analyzed by immunohistochemistry and imaging analyzer. Results The expressions of both GABA and GABA(A)R-alpha1 were diffusely seen in the brains of the control and shame poisoned rat groups with a moderate expression level, whereas the expressions of both GABA and GABA(A)R-alpha1 were decreased in the brains of the high-dose poisoned group. In the low-dose poisoned rat group, the expression of GABA initially decreased and reached its lowest level 6 hours after poisoning, and then started to show an increase and reached the level of control groups at day 3. The expressions level reached its peak at days 5-7 after poisoning and remained above the level of control groups till 10 days after poisoning. Similarly, the expression of GABA(A)R-alpha1 in the brains of the low-dose poisoned group initially decreased and reached its lowest level 6-12 hrs after poisoning, and then started to increase and reached the level of control groups at days 7-10 after poisoning, respectively. Conclusion The expression of both GABA and GABA(A)R-alpha1 decreased in the brains of the high-dose poisoned rat group and these changes of GABA and GABA(A)R-alpha1 expressions may be associated with underlying mechanism of tetramine poisoning.     

Quantification of propane in biological materials by head-space GC

Propane was measured in specimens taken from two persons who died from a LPG explosion in an apartment using head-space-GC/FID. Because of the variation of instrument performance and sample injection, the internal standard pentane was used. Calibration standards were prepared by injecting each calculated volume of pure propane gas into capped vials containing 2 ml of blood and 5 microl of internal standard. The calibration curve revealed good linearity from 0.09 microg/ml to at least 90 microg/ml. The method validation data also included repeatability and recovery. The propane quantities in blood, fat and brain tissue were between 0.27 and 71 microg/ml (microg/g) with the highest concentration observed in fat. The confirmation of propane was conducted by the means of solid phase micro-extraction and mass spectrometry.

三种安定类药物在中毒家兔体内的分布研究

为探求安定类药物在急性中毒家兔体内的代谢分布，采用固相萃取法和HPLC同时测定氯硝安定、佳静安定和安定。家兔按一定剂量将三种药物同时灌胃造成急性中毒2小时，处死后测定血、胆汁、尿液及其它脏器的三种药物浓度。结果表明，氯硝安定在胆汁和尿中含量较高，为0．82μg／ml和0．68μg／ml，而佳静安定及安定在胆汁和肝中浓度高，分别为9．32μg／ml和13．81μg／g。提示三种药物在家兔体内分布既有相同点也有显著差别。因此，利用本方法既可同时测定三种不同药物，也可为法医检案中毒案例的最佳检材采取和毒物分析结果评价提供了科学依据。     

Globus Pallidus Necrosis Unrelated to Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Retrospective Analysis of 27 Cases of Basal Ganglia Necrosis

Bilateral globus pallidus necrosis is said to be characteristic of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning. However, there has been no scientific test of this hypothesis. To examine the assertion that globus pallidus necrosis is typical of CO poisoning, this study examined autopsy cases from the King County Medical Examiner's Office (KCMEO) between 1994 and 2013. Twenty-seven cases with bilateral basal ganglia lesions were identified and examined for associated or causative disease or injury with the following results: 10 cases of drug overdose, seven heart disease, three asphyxia, two chronic ethanolism, two Huntington-like disorder, and one case each of remote trauma, rheumatic heart disease, and cerebral artery gas embolism. Additionally, review of all known cases at KCMEO of CO poisoning found no evidence of globus pallidus or basal ganglia necrosis. Thus, this study provides no support for the assertion that globus pallidus necrosis is characteristic of CO poisoning.
