根据胸骨形态变化推算年龄的研究

<正> 本文运用多元线性回归分析的方法,对74例成人汉族男性胸骨(19～48岁)的形态变化与年龄的关系进行了研究。通过胸骨上选定的7个形态变化标志点,依其各自的形态变化规律,制定出相应的等级评分标准。根据此标准对74例胸骨标本进行了观察评分。然后将所得原始数据和年龄一起输入电子计算机,求出由胸骨形态变化,计算年龄的多元回归方程: =10.78+0.82X_1+0.85X_2+0.80X_3+0.38X_4+2.51X_5+0.64X_6+3.02X_7±2.45 经方差分析表明P<0.01,回归高度显著。本文提出的胸骨判定年龄的方法,在无名尸骨的法医学鉴定中,具有实用价值。     

男性第四肋软骨和肋骨胸骨端形态推断年龄的研究

目的探讨第四肋软骨和肋骨胸骨端随年龄演变规律。方法收集已知年龄的男性第四肋软骨和肋骨胸骨端56例,平均年龄38.57岁,观察肋软骨切面颜色、结构、质地和肋骨胸骨端的窝、前后壁、质地变化,分析不同年龄段形态变化。结果肋软骨横切面形态适合快速推断50岁以前个体年龄;第四肋骨胸骨端形态推断年龄跨度大,结合肋软骨和其他骨骼可以避免误判,缩小误差。结论第四肋软骨和肋骨胸骨端推断年龄效果较好。

A test of sex determination from measurements of chest radiographs

Sexually dimorphic distinctions within the human thoracic area may include morphological as well as metric differences in the sternum and 4th rib. This research assesses the validity of a set of previously published measurements from chest radiographs and their use in contemporary forensic situations. The chest plates from 130 adult individuals of a known sample undergoing medico-legal post-mortem examination were examined at autopsy. Thoracic radiographs were taken using a Faxitron cabinet X-ray machine at 40 kV using Kodak Diagnostic Film Ready Pack X-Omat TL. Measurements were taken to the nearest millimetre using a sliding calliper. Logistic regression analysis of measurements of the sternum and 4th rib was undertaken to determine sex. Using 4th rib width and sternal area, sex was predicted at an accuracy of 95.8% for males and 90.3% for females.     

Development and morphology of the sternal foramen

Bony defects (foramina) in the sternum were found in 6.7% of a large contemporary autopsy population. Usually solitary and located in the body of the sternum, these defects rarely occur multiply and in the manubrium. They have been found in children as young as 8 years as well as in persons of advanced age. Multiple mesosternal foramina and a manubrial foramen are described here for the first time. Sternal foramina form along lines of fusion of multiple centers of ossification and are the result of incomplete fusion. They have been misinterpreted as acquired lesions, usually gunshot wounds.

X线片的骨骼年龄判定

目前,对儿童青少年骨骼年龄评价以手腕部及膝部较好,方法也较多,但主观性强,随机误差大。随着计算机图像识别及智能化技术的应用,将使得骨骼年龄评价更为客观、准确。对于成年人X线片骨龄推断,以胸骨、耻骨及锁骨等方法具有一定的应用价值,尚需更广泛的方法学研究以增加推断年龄的方法及准确性。本文介绍了X线片的骨骼年龄判定方法的现状及研究进展。     

Determining the age at death of females in the Chinese Han population: using quantitative variables and statistical analysis from pubic bones

Determining the age at death of females by skeletal features is extremely difficult and important, both in forensics and in physical anthropology. Our previous study of male pubic symphysis suggests that the indicators of morphological changes provide the best results for personal age identification. The indicators that help deduce of the age of females was approximately the same as males except for two specific indicators, which are bone density of the symphysial surface and viz. Viz are ridges and furrows on the symphysial surface, ossific nodules, lower extremities, ventral and ridge of the rampart, dorsal margin, ventral beveling and general macroscopic changes on the symphysial surface. Samples were drawn from 338 female individuals. The study procedures are as follows: Firstly, we examined the morphological features of pubic symphysis using the criteria similar to Hanihara's, Gilbert-McKern and Suchey-Brooks's methods. Secondly, we evaluated each stage with an appropriate score. Thirdly, we deduced four equations to assess the morphological features of the ages of females by statistic analysis. The results were discussed by comparing with Hanihara's, Gilbert-McKern and Suchey-Brooks's methods. The results were consistent and the developing methods for determining the age of death of females were produced.     

Is the length of the sternum reliable for estimating adult stature? A pilot study using fresh sterna and a test of two methods using dry sterna

Stature estimation is one of the four attributes of the biological profile obtained from human skeletal remains. The length of the long bones has been consistently used to estimate stature from regression equations, but these may be useless when dealing with fresh or decomposed mutilated remains. Until recently, there was no consistent assessment of the reliability of measurements of the sternum for stature estimation. The purpose of this paper is to test previously developed regression formulae for stature based on measurements of the dry sternum and to assess the reliability of measurements of the fresh sternum in estimating stature. The formulae developed by Menezes et al. and Singh et al. were applied to a sample of 5 known stature skeletons from the identified human skeletal collection curated at the National Museum of Natural History, in Lisbon, Portugal. Testing of these formulae showed that estimated stature confidence intervals do not allow discrimination between individuals with similar stature. The length of the fresh sternum was measured on a sample of 45 male individuals autopsied at the National Institute of Legal Medicine - North Delegation (Porto, Portugal). Cadaver length was regressed on sternum length and a simple linear regression formula was obtained. The regression model provided a 95% confidence interval of 13.32 cm and a correlation coefficient of only 0.329. Compared to other studies, regression formulae based on the length of the sternum provided considerably larger standard errors than that based on long bone lengths. These results suggest that the length of the sternum has limited forensic value and relatively low reliability in estimating stature from mutilated human skeletal remains, either skeletonized or fresh.
