Arsenic Poisoning Caused by Intentional Contamination of Coffee at a Church Gathering—An Epidemiological Approach to a Forensic Investigation

Abstract: An outbreak of apparent food‐borne illness following a church gathering was promptly reported to the Maine Bureau of Health. Gastrointestinal symptoms among church attendees were initially attributed to consumption of leftover sandwiches that had been served the previous day. However, a rapid epidemiological and laboratory assessment revealed the etiology of illness, including the death of an elderly gentleman, was not food‐borne in origin. A criminal investigation determined that deliberate arsenic contamination of the brewed coffee by one of the church members was the source of the outbreak. Public health officials and criminal investigators must be aware that intentional biologic aggression can initially present as typical unintentional disease outbreaks. Practitioners must also consider the need to properly maintain and preserve potential forensic evidence. This case demonstrates the key role public health practitioners may play in criminal investigations.     

浅议公安机关陕速反应机制建设

公安机关快速反应机制由指挥调度系统、情报信息系统、行动处置系统和物质保障系统组成。这一快速反应机制在自我发展过程中出现了管理混乱、基层警力不足、情报信息部门化等问题。应根据具体问题,采取相应措施,以完善公安快速反应机制的建设,使其更好地发挥社会安全保障职能。     

福建省技术进步对经济增长的影响机制分析

根据中国经济增长的实际情况,把技术进步分解为内在技术进步和外在技术进步两个方面。利用计量模型从短期和长期两个角度来分析内在技术进步、外在技术进步与经济增长三者之间的关系。基于福建省1987年至2009年的数据,对这三个变量进行协整关系分析、格兰杰因果关系分析和在VAR模型基础上的脉冲响应函数分析以及方差分解分析。实证分析结果显示：不论从长期看还是从短期看,福建省内在技术进步对经济增长的拉动作用比福建省外在技术进步要大。     

Psychophysiological Responses of People with Psychopathic Tendencies to the Concealed Information Test

This study was designed to investigate differences in psychophysiological responses among individuals with psychopathic tendencies. A total 40 students were participated and were divided into two groups based on Levenson Self‐Report Psychopathy Scale (LSRP) scores: a high psychopathic tendency group selected from the top 5% of LSRP scores, and a low psychopathic tendency group selected from the bottom 5% of LSRP scores. All participants were instructed to perform a mock crime and complete the concealed information test (CIT). Results indicate that significant differences between crime‐relevant questions and irrelevant questions were observed for respiration line length and skin conductance response in both groups, but heart rate did not significantly differ between groups. There were no differences in psychophysiological responses between the groups. In conclusion, CIT was found to be an effective method for detecting crime‐relevant information in individuals with psychopathic tendencies.

紧急状态和紧急状态法初探

我国在 2 0 0 3年遭受非典严重侵袭 ,面对这一突如其来的灾难 ,虽然党中央和国务院采取措施积极应对并战胜之 ,但遗憾的是 ,目前我国关于紧急状态方面的法律法规还很不完善。第一 ,宪法规定不完善 ;第二 ,我国的非常处置制度的现状是多种制度并存 ;第三 ,紧急状态法律法规和规章量多杂乱 ,相互之间不能协调、统一、配合。     

群体性事件的成因及对策

群体性事件形式多样,成因复杂,具有区别于一般案件和矛盾纠纷的明显特征。预防和处置群体性事件要坚持科学发展观,以人为本,依法办事。各级、各部门要明确工作职责,提高解决纠纷的能力。法律法规应进一步明确规定对群体性事件的处置措施。

羊口疮病毒F1L与B2L基因核酸疫苗联合免疫小鼠特性的研究

为评价羊口疮病毒(OrfV)F1L与B2L基因核酸疫苗PVAX1-F1L、PVAX1-B2L联合免疫小鼠诱导体液和细胞免疫的应答效果,分别将PVAX1-F1L+PVAX1-B2L、PVAX1-B2L、PVAX1-F1L、PVAX1空载体与PBS通过后腿肌肉注射方式免疫小鼠,采用ELISA方法检测免疫不同时间段的小鼠血清中OrfV特异性抗体及细胞因子IL-2、IL-4和IFN-γ,并通过MTT法检测免疫小鼠脾淋巴细胞增殖反应。结果显示,PVAX1-F1L+PVAX1-B2L联合免疫组小鼠血清抗体效价及IL-2、IFN-γ细胞因子水平显著(P<0.05)高于PVAX1-F1L和PVAX1-B2L单独免疫组,IL-4细胞因子水平差异不明显,但均与PVAX1空载体和PBS组差异极显著(P<0.01);PVAX1-F1L+PVAX1-B2L联合免疫组小鼠脾淋巴细胞增殖水平与PVAX1-F1L和PVAX1-B2L单独免疫组相比,差异显著(P<0.05),与PVAX1空载体和PBS组相比,差异极显著(P<0.01)。结果表明,PVAX1-F1L+PVAX1-B2L联合免疫小鼠能够增强OrfV特异性抗体的分泌和细胞免疫应答,这为羊口疮新型疫苗的研制奠定了理论基础。
