Recommended Practices for Macerating Human Thyroid Cartilage

Visible abnormalities on the thyroid cartilage may be indicative of perimortem trauma including fractures or sharp force trauma. During autopsy, the thyroid cartilage must be freed of surrounding soft tissue before these abnormalities can be clearly observed. Several processing methods were first experimentally tested on pig ears to narrow down which might work best to process human thyroid cartilage. Several methods in the categories of hot water maceration, chemical/enzyme maceration, and dermestid beetles were then tested on a sample of 37 human thyroid cartilages. An adapted 22-point scoring system was used to score the efficacy of each processing method. Chemical maceration using bleach was found to be the best method for removing surrounding tissue from thyroid cartilage, with Arm & Hammer^TM powdered laundry detergent as a close second. These methods are inexpensive, quick, and easy to implement, making them a simple addition to busy medical examiner’s offices or forensic anthropology laboratories.     

论荐证广告的法律规制

现实生活中有这样一类广告,是以普通消费者、专家或是公共机构的名义、形象推荐、证明产品或服务的质量、性能,在国外和我国台湾地区一般称之为荐证广告。现在国内有大量的社会名人以广告代言人的身份参与荐证广告。目前,这类广告涉嫌虚假宣传的不在少数,但却缺少相应的法律规制。美国早在上世纪80年代就制定了"荐证广告指南",在司法实践中也有成熟的判例。我国有必要借鉴这些有益的经验和做法,完善相关立法,以规范荐证广告。
