Attitudes toward Wife Abuse of Police Officers and Judiciary Members in Turkey: Profession,Gender, Ambivalent Sexism and Sex Roles

This study examined the attitudes of police officers and judiciary members toward wife abuse in Turkey and the relation between these attitudes and profession, ambivalent sexism (hostile/benevolent sexism), gender, and gender roles. The following instruments were used for the analyses: The Attitudes Toward Wife Abuse Scale (AWAS), the Ambivalent Sexism Inventory (ASI), and the Bem Sex Role Inventory. The participants were 300 police officers and 150 judiciary members selected from different regions of Turkey. Results showed that compared to judiciary members, police officers are more tolerant of physical and verbal abuse of women in marriage, but less tolerant of the idea of the victim leaving an abusive marriage partner. Similarly, men were more tolerant than women of those husbands who physically and verbally abuse their wives, but less supportive of the wife leaving the abusive partner. Profession and ambivalent sexism (hostile/benevolent sexism) were found to be the strongest predictors of attitudes toward wife abuse.     

Medicosocial aspects of sexual abuse crimes in Arkhangel'sk

The criminological and victim sides of sexual abuse crimes in Archangelsk are analyzed and the data are compared with the data for Russia and for St. Petersburg. Seasonal patterns of rapes and violations and the most vulnerable age of victims have been determined. Flaws in the resolutions on expert evaluations in cases with social abuse are analyzed.     

Research of the extraction method of morphine from biological fluids

A solid-phase extraction method of morphine from urine and blood has introduced. The effect of 5 SPE columns, 3 eluents and pH on morphine recovery has been investigated systematically. Derivative GC was used as a method of detection. The result showed that the column and the eluent of such as GDX-301, GDX-403 and C18 chloroform:isopropanol (9:1) had good behaviors to extraction of morphine. When GDX-301 was used as a sorbent, the recovery of morphine from urine was above 90% at pH 9, then went down with the increase of pH. While the recovery from blood was growing with the increase of pH, which reached above 90% in strong alkaline. The extraction method is simple, inexpensive, efficient and reproducible, which provides an effective and practical method to extract morphine and similar illicit drugs from biological fluids.     

Forensic medical identification of death due to poisoning of tetrodotoxin in puffer fish

One case died of poisoning of tetrodotoxin in dry fugu fillet was reported. Through the detailed forensic examination for this lethal case, many questions about forensic medical identification of death due to poisoning of tetrodotoxin was discussed and its medico-legal significance was also discussed. In particular, emphasis was placed on the details of a case, extraction of TTX in specimen, quantitative detection of TTX, purplish mouth and nails, dilatation of stomach and intestines, excluding other causes and combining animal experiment in order to get definite forensic medical identification.     

Enzymehistochemical and immunohistological changes of skeletal muscle motor end-plates and muscle fibers and their relation to the time of death

In order to investigate the relationship between the retrograde changes of the skeletal muscle and the time of death in various postmortem intervals (PMI), a systemic study of the enzymehistochemical activity of AChE, SDH, LDH, Ca(2+)-ATPase and the immunohistochemical reaction of SYN in motor end-plates and muscle fibers was conducted in rats under different temperatures and at various PMI. The results were analyzed and compared by an image processing system. It was found that these changes were related to the PMI, especially AChE changes. The AChE could be used as a sign-enzyme of skeletal muscle to date death.     

急性心肌缺血再灌FOS免疫组织化学实验研究

探寻FOS蛋白在心肌早期缺血再灌流损伤中变化规律,为心性猝死的诊断提供新方法。利用SD大鼠建立心肌缺血再灌流损伤模型,设立正常、缺血对照组与缺血再灌组。心脏标本经HE染色及免疫级化观察。结果发现,在冷冻切片上缺血20min再灌流30min,再灌流区心肌细胞核呈阳性着色。但在石蜡切片上,缺血30min再灌流30min后,再灌流区才有心肌细胞核（37．76％±9．66％）呈弱阳性着色,再灌流60min后核呈棕褐色阳性染色,120min后开始减弱（35.36％±3.16％）。正常和单纯缺血组心肌细胞核未见有阳性反应。HE染色无明显病理改变。结果提示,SABC－FOS免疫组织化学方法最早可揭示心肌缺血20min再灌流30min的损伤,FOS蛋白在再灌流后60－120min之间可能有一个高峰表达。此法对显示实验性心肌早期缺血再灌流损伤有重要的价值。有望用于心性猝死的诊断。     

甲醛固定及石蜡包埋组织的DNA分型及其应用

目的：建立甲醛固定及石蜡包埋组织ＤＮＡ的基因分型方法并使之应用于实际检案。方法：用Ｃｈｅｌｅｘ和有机溶剂提取法提取ＤＮＡ,以ＰＣＲ与反向探针杂交技术作ＰＭ和ＨＬＡ－ＤＱＡ１位点分型。结果：２６份包埋组织块有２４份能得到理想的分型结果。结论：本法可用于法医学个人识别和亲子鉴定     

肾上腺结核猝死的法医学鉴定

通过两例肾上腺结核猝死的案例观察发现：肾上腺和肾上腺以外器官的结核病变均表现为不典型的慢性陈旧性的病理学特征。提示在法医学鉴定中,对患过结核病和“不明死因”猝死尸体剖验时肾上腺的组织病理学检验尤为重要
