测定肺锶含量鉴定溺死的研究

作者借助ICP 检测溺死和死后沉入水中,浸泡不同时间家兔及对照组肺腮含量。结果表明,溺死组肺锶含量显著高于死后入水组和对照组(P<0. 01) ;无论溺死或死后沉入水中浸泡不同时间,家兔肺锶含量之间无明显差异(P>0. 05) ,提示肺锶含量受水中浸泡时间或腐败因素的影响并不显著。2例实际案例的肺锶含量测定支持实验性研究结果,说明肺锶含量测定可用于鉴定溺死,具有实用价值。     

检测肺锶含量鉴定溺死的进一步研究

探索检测肺锶含量鉴定溺死的法医学意义，及水中浸泡时间因素对肺锶含量的影响和本方法的实际应用价值，用ICP检测溺死及死后入水浸泡时间较久的不同时间组（48～96小时）的家兔肺锶含量。结果表明：溺死组肺锶含量显著高于死后入水组（P＜0．01），死后水中浸泡时间（4天）对肺锶含量无明显影响，3例实际检案检测结果证实，本研究具有良好的应用前景。     

硅藻定量检验和种属鉴定的实验研究

本实验用家兔18只,分为溺死组、死后(抛尸)入水组及对照组,每组各6只。采用消化—光镜法作肺、肝、肾硅藻计数(定量)及种属鉴定检验,同时作水样检验及空白对照。结果:(一)进一步证实生前硅藻可经空气源性进入肺脏并存积于大循环内脏(肝、肾)的概念;(二)提示水中尸体肺脏如有大量硅藻检出,仅此即可作为诊断溺死的可靠依据;空气源性吸入及检验过程中的污染并不影响该检验结果对鉴定溺死的判断。种属分析溺死组肺与水样的主要硅藻种属相符,而肝、肾中硅藻计数及种属分析均无诊断意义。     

血清氟含量测定在溺死诊断上的意义

考虑到广东的水含氟量高,本文测定了溺死兔的血清氟含量,并与缢死后入水浸泡兔的血清氟含量进行对比。水中氟含量大约比正常人和动物血清氟高15倍。溺死后兔血清氟含量明显高于溺死前。相反,在对照的死后浸泡兔的血清氟含量稍低于死前。人与兔的血清氟含量相近。这提示,血清氟含量测定对高氟区的溺死诊断是有价值的。

Diagnosing death by drowning in fresh water using blood strontium as an indicator

The interpretation of the level of strontium (Sr) in blood has been demonstrated to be useful in the diagnosis of death by drowning occurred in sea water, but its use in fresh water drownings is not so evident because of the low Sr concentration present in most of fresh water media. In this paper, we show a survey of the results obtained in the casework analysis of Sr in ventricular blood used in the diagnosis of drowning in 144 bodies found immersed in fresh water over a period of 10 years. Thirty-two percent of the immersion cases examined could be diagnosed as drownings with a reasonable degree of confidence. It is thought that this percentage of positive diagnoses could be largely improved in the case of blood samples taken a few hours after death.     

Study of the diagnostic value of iron in fresh water drowning

The aim of our study was to test the diagnostic value of iron (Fe) in fresh water drowning by investigating the postmortem levels of hemodilution in drowning cases compared to control cases. Twenty-six typical fresh water drowning cases were selected from 128 immersion cases autopsied in our Department of Forensic Pathology between 1998 and 2004. The exclusion criteria were a long postmortem interval and other causes of death than drowning. For all selected cases, the diagnosis of drowning was based on the presence of autopsy findings and positive diatom test. A control population of 12 cases was also selected. For each drowning and control case, iron blood levels were measured in the left ventricle (LV) and right ventricle (RV) of the heart. The mean difference of iron concentration (RVFe-LVFe) between the drowning group and the control group was statistically compared. Furthermore, iron measurements were performed in 19 drowning cases showing advanced putrefaction. The mean difference of iron concentration was significantly higher in the drowning cases compared with controls (P<0.001). All drowning cases showed hemodilution. No overlap was found in the RVFe-LVFe levels between the two groups. Resuscitation attempts seemed to have no effect on the results. In cases of drowning showing advanced putrefaction, the iron test was not reliable because biochemical iron measurement was often prevented by no sufficient blood in the heart or postmortem clots. In conclusion, according to our results, iron seems to be a good biochemical marker in fresh water drowning with a short postmortem interval.     

Serum biochemical markers in drowning: diagnostic efficacy of Strontium and other trace elements

The aim of our study was to analyse several serum biochemical markers in order to evaluate the discriminant capacity of trace elements individually and jointly in drowning (seawater drowning and freshwater drowning) and their correlation with age, sex, postmortem interval, time in water and concentrations of the trace elements in the drowning medium. Sixty-seven cases of drowning (53 seawater drownings (SWD); 14 freshwater drownings (FWD) and 73 control cases (other asphyxias, n=44, and other causes of death, n=29) were selected according to the scene, cause and circumstances of death, together with autopsy findings. Serum strontium (Sr), magnesium (Mg), sodium (Na), chloride (Cl), calcium (Ca), iron (Fe), urea, creatinine (Cr) and cardiac Troponine T (cTn-T) were measured in the left ventricle (Lv), right ventricle (Rv) and peripheral blood. Lv-Rv differences for each marker and Sr, Mg, Na, Cl, Ca and Fe concentrations in the drowning medium were determinated. Mean concentrations of Sr, Cl and Mg in both ventricles and peripheral serum and Lv-Rv differences and Ca Lv and Na Rv were significantly higher in cases of drowning than for other causes of death. In SWD, Sr, Mg, Ca, Na and Cl were significantly higher in Lv than in Rv as a result of aspirating water. In contrast, haemodilution is evident from the significantly higher levels of Fe and urea in Rv than in Lv in cases of SWD, and from the higher Mg and Cr levels in Rv in FWD. In the case of SWD, serum levels of Sr are confirmed as the best parameter for diagnosis, although other trace elements may also be useful, such as the serum concentrations of Mg and Cl. In the case of FWD, the joint determination of Sr and other biochemical markers, especially Fe, may increase correct diagnosis.

Blood strontium concentration related to the length of the agonal period in seawater drowning cases

The levels of ventricular blood strontium (Sr) from 70 seawater drowning victims were compared with their diagnosis of drowning based mainly on certain criteria selected from their autopsy report. From this comparison, intervals of either the difference of Sr concentration between the left and the right ventricle blood (LVSr-RVSr) or the Sr concentration in the left ventricle blood (LVSr), appear to be related to different time-lapses of the agonal period of drowning. In the aim to diagnose drownings, intervals of both LVSr-RVSr and LVSr were proposed to characterize three different agonal periods in seawater drowning cases: instantaneous death (ID), fast vital-submersion drowning (FVSD) and common vital-submersion drowning (CVSD).     

Pulmonary surfactant-associated protein A levels in cadaveric sera with reference to the cause of death

Pulmonary surfactant-associated protein A (SP-A) is an exclusively lung specific protein, and is considered to leak into the blood stream in alveolar septal damage. In this study we examined the serum SP-A level in forensic autopsy materials using an enzyme immunoassay with monoclonal antibodies to assess the postmortem level in relation to the cause and mode of death. Although a gradual postmortem degradation should be taken into consideration, topological relationship of serum level seemed to be fairly stable (arterial> or =venous blood in most cases), indicating no evident influence of postmortem diffusion. Significant elevation of serum SP-A (76.7-250 ng/ml in left heart blood) was observed in hyaline membrane diseases from various causes independent of the postmortem intervals (<30 h). However, mean SP-A levels in postmortem heart blood were usually low in asphyxia including hanging, strangulation and choking (left, 25.5 ng/ml; right, 22.3 ng/ml), polytrauma (left, 13.1 ng/ml; right, 9.0 ng/ml) and stab wound to the neck (left, 34.1 ng/ml; right, 29.4 ng/ml). Prominent elevation was noted in a case of fatal strangulation with complication of idiopathic interstitial pneumonia, and also in some deaths due to drowning, burns in fires, blunt and gunshot chest injuries. These findings indicated that postmortem elevation of serum SP-A levels was associated with alveolar septal damage due to inflammation, mechanical and physical stresses, which caused leakage of SP-A into the bloodstream.     

PCR-DGGE法检测浮游生物16S rDNA在溺死鉴定中的应用

目的建立并评估PCR-DGGE法检测浮游生物对溺死鉴定的应用价值。方法大白兔30只随机分为3组:溺死组(n=12),死后抛尸组(n=12)和对照组(n=6);溺死组和死后抛尸组又分为2个亚组:东湖水域组(n=6)和墨水湖水域组(n=6)。死后提取心血和肺、肝、肾、脑等组织,匀浆后,采用Percoll密度梯度离心法分离浮游生物并提取其DNA,PCR扩增浮游生物特异的16S rDNA片段后分别用琼脂糖凝胶电泳及DGGE检测分析。2个溺死案例检材同法检验。结果溺死组各组织器官中浮游生物检测多呈阳性:肺(100%)、肝(83%)、肾(75%)、心血(83%)、脑(42%);死后抛尸组仅2例肺组织(16.7%)检出阳性;对照组全部阴性。溺尸肺组织DGGE分型图谱与相应溺死点水样分型图谱相似,而与非溺死点水样分型结果差异显著。2实际案例均呈阳性。结论本方法不仅有助于定性诊断溺死,而且通过比较产物的多样性可以推断溺死地点,在法医学溺死鉴定中具有较大实用价值。
