刑事物证中的“保管链”

保证物证检验质量的前提条件是保证物证的原始性和完整性。借鉴美国刑事物证保管制度，在我国法庭科学实验室认证工作中，可以将“物证保管链”作为科学管理物证行之有效的方法加以推广。     

物证与犯罪现场重建

物证和犯罪现场重建结论,在刑事侦查活动中是两类不同的事物,但却是相互联系、相互作用的,它们都可以作为判定案情的依据。物证是犯罪现场重建的基础,犯罪现场重建使物证情景、情节化;物证是重建犯罪过程的“关节”;犯罪现场重建以犯罪分子的动态行为为链条,使静态的分散的间接物证成为有机的证据锁链。     

西安汉人D1S80位点基因频率调查

利用PCR技术、小型聚丙烯酰胶凝胶电泳及银染法，检测D1S80位点的VNTR扩增片段长度多态性（Amp－FLP）。在175名无关的西安地区汉族人群中发现了22个等位基因，片段大小分布于320～750bp之间，频率分布为0．0057～03314，杂合度为82．3％，个人识别率（DP）为0.9588，非父排除率（EPP）为0．6704。对7个家系23名相关个体分析，证实DIS80位点的遗传符合孟德尔方式。已发现的64种基因型分布符合Hardg－Weinberg定律。     

麦德龙:如何塑造核心竞争力

本文从经营理念、自购自建营业场所、使用“透明发票”等三方面剖析了麦德龙这一世界连锁企业巨头的核心竞争能力，试图为本土的连锁企业培育自己的核心竞争力提供参考，使其在日趋激烈的行业竞争中立于不败之地。     

论中国文化产业的可持续发展：打造核心竞争力——中国文化产业竞争力评价理论研究

随着全球一体化进程的加速,文化与经济合流发展的趋势日益明显,文化以其独特的优势加入世界经济一体化发展。文化产业竞争力是国家竞争力和综合国力的重要组成部分。但是世界文化市场已被九大文化巨头分享,中国加入WTO后文化产业的国际竞争力受到严重挑战。因此,我们应当建立文化产业竞争力评价体系。该体系以美国迈克尔·波特的钻石体系为理论依据,以显示性指标体系体现文化产业的核心竞争力。从内在和外在的逻辑去建立解释性指标体系,遵循大不等于强的原则,目的在于得知中国文化产业的国际竞争力水平,从而消除其竞争劣势,“做”出中国文化产业竞争力的明日的辉煌。     

Genotypic Polymorphisms of Hepatitis B Virus Provide Useful Information for Estimating Geographical Origin or Place of Long‐term Residence of Unidentified Cadavers

Increasing numbers of unidentified cadavers are a major problem. We have developed a new method for providing identification information that can determine the geographical origin or place of long‐term residence of unidentified cadavers based on genotypic polymorphisms of hepatitis B virus (HBV) known to correlate with their geographical distribution. PCR of serum samples detected HBV DNA from 4 (3.9%) of 102 randomly selected Japanese forensic cadavers. Multiplex PCR did not detect multiple HBV genotypes from any single cadaver, confirming the absence of coinfection. Phylogenetic tree analysis based on a 485‐bp mutant region of the HBV S gene successfully classified the HBV genotypes into A to J. Among 10 HBV‐infected cadavers, 8 had genotype Ce/C2, a genotype prevalent in East Asia, and 2 had genotype Bj/B1, a Japanese‐specific genotype. HBV genotypic polymorphisms correlate with the geographical distribution of the virus and thus provide important information for identifying unidentified cadavers infected with HBV.     

Screening Biological Stains with qPCR versus Lateral Flow Immunochromatographic Test Strips: A Quantitative Comparison using Analytical Figures of Merit

Biological fluid identification is an important facet of evidence examination in forensic laboratories worldwide. While identifying bodily fluids may provide insight into which downstream DNA methods to employ, these screening techniques consume a vital portion of the available evidence, are usually qualitative, and rely on visual interpretation. In contrast, qPCR yields information regarding the amount and proportion of amplifiable genetic material. In this study, dilution series of either semen or male saliva were prepared in either buffer or female blood. The samples were subjected to both lateral flow immunochromatographic test strips and qPCR analysis. Analytical figures of merit—including sensitivity, minimum distinguishable signal (MDS) and limit of detection (LOD)—were calculated and compared between methods. By applying the theory of the propagation of random errors, LODs were determined to be 0.05 μL of saliva for the RSID? Saliva cards, 0.03 μL of saliva for Quantifiler^® Duo, and 0.001 μL of semen for Quantifiler^® Duo. In conclusion, quantitative PCR was deemed a viable and effective screening method for subsequent DNA profiling due to its stability in different matrices, sensitivity, and low limits of detection.     

Validation of Real‐time PCR Assays for Bioforensic Detection of Model Plant Pathogens

The U.S. agricultural sector is vulnerable to intentionally introduced microbial threats because of its wide and open distribution and economic importance. To investigate such events, forensically valid assays for plant pathogen detection are needed. In this work, real‐time PCR assays were developed for three model plant pathogens: Pseudomonas syringae pathovar tomato, Xylella fastidiosa, and Wheat streak mosaic virus. Validation included determination of the linearity and range, limit of detection, sensitivity, specificity, and exclusivity of each assay. Additionally, positive control plasmids, distinguishable from native signature by restriction enzyme digestion, were developed to support forensic application of the assays. Each assay displayed linear amplification of target nucleic acid, detected 100 fg or less of target nucleic acid, and was specific to its target pathogen. Results obtained with these model pathogens provide the framework for development and validation of similar assays for other plant pathogens of high consequence.     

A Novel Method for Identifying Shahtoosh

Shahtoosh, the down hair of the Tibetan antelope (Pantholops hodgsonii), is the noblest and most expensive wool in the world. The population of the animal has declined dramatically due to commercial poaching for the fiber. Traditional inspection for detection of shahtoosh has been performed by microscopic analysis. We developed a TaqMan real‐time PCR‐based DNA analysis method for identifying shahtoosh fibers. A set of probe and primers for the mitochondrial 12S ribosomal RNA gene that binds specifically to Tibetan antelope DNA was designed. A signal was detected with sensitivity to the 1:10,000 dilution of shahtoosh DNA. A fiber mixture of 1% of shahtoosh mixed with cashmere and even a single fiber can be detected with this method. The method is faster, more cost‐effective and more sensitive than other traditional sequencing methods and can be directly applied to identify shahtoosh and its processed products, which will be of value in illegal trade investigations.
