Determination of calcium and magnesium in postmortem human vitreous humor as a test to ascertain the cause and time of death

The concentrations of magnesium and total calcium human vitreous humors obtained postmortem was tested. In the groups of heart disease and asphyxia a correlation between the postmortem interval and calcium or magnesium concentrations was found. There was no correlation between postmortem interval and calcium respectively magnesium in the other causes of death. It seems possible that the analysis of vitreous humor may be useful in both diagnosis and determination of postmortem interval in the cases of heart death and asphyxia.     

Comparison of chemical methods for determining postmortem interval

Accurate determination of postmortem interval (PMI) is a problem for the forensic thanatologist, especially in unwitnessed deaths. A number of objective chemical methods for determining PMI have been developed, the most widely used being accumulation of potassium in the vitreous humor. The authors previously have reported a chemical method for determining PMI from the predictable accumulation or clearance of the dopaminergic metabolite 3-methoxytyramine (3-MT) in the putamen of the brain. They have extended their previous study to compare directly the accuracy of determining PMI from the level of 3-MT in putamen with the level of potassium in vitreous humor. The data indicate that 3-MT is at least as accurate as, if not more accurate than, potassium accumulation in vitreous humor, although 3-MT levels can be affected by the cause of death and drugs present at the time of death. Nevertheless, determination of both the 3-MT and potassium levels can afford the most accurate method of determining PMI; preliminary nomograms for determining PMI from both variables are presented.     

Postmortem biochemical examination of synovial fluid--a preliminary study

Vitreous humor chemistry is used for postmortem analysis since serum values of many components are thought to be reflected in vitreous humor and to be stable for a prolonged postmortem interval (pmi). A similar isolated compartment to vitreous humor is synovial fluid which up to now was hardly used for postmortem chemistry.The aim of the present examination was to compare the values of various analytes in both fluid compartments to get first hints for the reliability of the examination of synovial fluid. Therefore, in 74 cases of sudden death both fluids were taken and analysed for natrium, potassium, calcium, chloride, urea, creatinine, and glucose. The results show that the examination of synovial fluid as compared to vitreous humor is a reliable method to get hints on the premortal metabolic status since most analytes are stable postmortem. The range of all values is comparable in both fluids. The time course of glucose concentrations and, much more important, potassium concentrations is nearly similar. If no vitreous humor is available synovial fluid may be used with all precautions in diagnosis known from vitreous humor.     

利用房水钾离子浓度推断死亡时间的实验研究

目的探讨利用房水中钾离子浓度进行死亡时间推断的可行性。方法30只家兔随机分为10组,以空气栓塞法处死后,于不同的死亡时间点分别采集房水和玻璃体;用Vitros 950干式自动生化仪对所有样本中的K+、Na+、Ca2+三种离子进行浓度测定;用SPSS统计软件对测定数据进行回归分析。结果房水中钾离子浓度变化与死亡时间呈高度相关,对应的回归方程为:PMI=1.572-0.597×[K+]+0.107×[K+]2-0.002×[K+]3。其相关系数(R2=0.95)明显高于同批样本的玻璃体钾离子浓度与死亡时间的相关系数(R2=0.5)。房水、玻璃体液的Na+、Ca2+浓度与死亡时间的相关性不明显。结论利用房水钾离子浓度推断死亡时间可获得较好的准确度。     

家兔死后眼玻璃体液消光度与死亡时间关系研究

目的 为寻找一种精确推定死亡时间的方法。方法 应用 754分光光度计,在 420nm波长下,检测了 48只家兔死后不同时间的眼玻璃体液消光度,探讨其与死亡时间的关系。结果 眼玻璃体液消光度（ X）与死亡时间（ Y）呈线性正相关（ r=0.983 27, P< 0.05）,在死后 0～ 72小时,眼玻璃体液消光度与死亡时间存在回归关系（ F=116.54, P< 0.05）,直线回归方程为： Y = 453.30X＋ 0.75 [Y为死亡时间 (PMI),单位为小时; X为眼玻璃体液消光度 ]。结论眼玻璃体液消光度的测定可作为推断死后 72小时内死亡时间的参考指标之一。     

家兔死后眼玻璃体液锌、镍含量与 PMI关系的研究

Vitreous humor magnesium in alcoholics

Postmortem vitreous humor magnesium concentrations were determined in 27 alcoholics and in 27 nonalcoholics who died of various causes. No significant differences in magnesium values were present between these two groups. The concentrations in those dying with alcohol withdrawal syndrome or in those with postmortem findings limited to hepatic fatty change did not differ significantly from those in the nonalcoholic group or from those of the alcoholics dying of other causes. There was no correlation between vitreous humor magnesium concentrations and postmortem interval in any group. We conclude that vitreous humor magnesium determination is not helpful in the postmortem evaluation of suspected alcohol-related deaths or in determining postmortem interval.     

家兔死后玻璃体液电导率变化与死亡时间的关系

目的探讨家兔死后玻璃体液电导率变化与死亡时间的相关性。方法采用电导分析法检测家兔30℃下死后48h内及20℃下死后120h内玻璃体液电导率变化。结果30℃和20℃下家兔死后玻璃体液电导率随死亡时间延长而持续升高。经统计分析得到抛物线型二项式回归方程,其相关系数分别为0.970和0.983,两式P〈0.01。结论家兔死后玻璃体液电导率升高程度可以作为推断死亡时间的参考指标。     

Vitreous Humor: Biochemical Constituents in Estimation of Postmortem Interval*,†

Abstract: Analysis of biochemical constituents of the vitreous humor can be useful in determining the postmortem interval as there is proportionate postmortem rise of potassium and fall in sodium concentration. We studied 120 autopsy cases to determine the utility of potassium, sodium, calcium, and chloride levels, and sodium/potassium ratio in estimating the postmortem interval. There was a linear relationship between vitreous potassium concentration and postmortem interval, whereas an inverse relationship between vitreous sodium/potassium ratio and postmortem interval was noted. Other factors like age, sex, cause of death, season of death, and refrigeration of sample did not influence the vitreous humor potassium values. Using the statistical tools, a new formula was derived to determine the postmortem interval based on the potassium concentration and a review of previous literature is presented. Hence, the findings of this study supported a central role of vitreous humor biochemistry in many postmortem forensic and pathological evaluations.

Vitreous humor chemistry: the use of potassium concentration for the prediction of the postmortem interval

Upon review of the literature, extensive disagreement was found as to the usefulness of vitreous humor potassium concentration as a predictor of the postmortem interval (PMI). A pilot study of 1427 cases was performed to address this problem. The requisite statistical analysis for the prediction of PMI is inverse prediction. The 95% inverse prediction interval was found to be approximately +/- 20 h. The linear regression equation for the data was y = 0.238 chi + 6.342, with a coefficient of determination (r2) of 0.374. This r2 value means that 62.6% of the variation of potassium is unaccounted for by the variation in PMI. Further studies are required to attribute this unaccounted variation to quantifiable factors. This would narrow the inverse prediction interval and enable vitreous potassium to be a useful aid in the prediction of PMI.

Stability of drugs in stored postmortem femoral blood and vitreous humor

The stability of 46 drugs in postmortem femoral blood stored for one year at -20 degrees C was investigated. The drugs included benzodiazepines, antidepressants, analgetics and hypnotics. For seven drugs we found a significant change in the concentration between the first and second analysis. Five substances; ethanol, desmethylmianserin, 7-amino-nitrazepam, THC and zopiclone showed a decrease in the concentration whereas the concentrations of two substances; ketobemidone and thioridazine increased. However, the changes observed were not of such an order that it would affect the interpretation in normal forensic casework. We also investigated the possible influence of potassium fluoride on the concentrations of the 46 drugs in vitreous humor after storage for one year. For two substances, ethanol and zopiclone, there were significantly lower concentrations in the samples without potassium fluoride. Furthermore, we also studied the correlation between the concentrations in femoral blood and vitreous humor. For 23 substances there was a significant difference between the concentrations in the vitreous humor and femoral blood. Significant correlations between the concentrations in these two specimens were found for 23 substances, indicating that vitreous humor can be an alternative specimen when blood samples are not available, provided that such correlation exists for the particular substance. Statistical analysis also revealed a correlation between the degree of protein binding of the different drugs and percentage of vitreous/femoral blood concentrations.
