罪刑失衡的源头防治——来自刑事立法角度的分析

罪刑失衡对刑事法治构成严重危害,要防治它,必须首先从立法这个本源入手。立法作为罪刑关系运行的起点,可能构成罪刑失衡的源头。以刑事立法为切入口,有助于从罪刑规范的设计上防治罪刑失衡。     

死亡时间——当今中国法医病理学研究的热点及难点

在法医病理学研究的诸多重要问题中,时间问题无疑是其中的一个热点问题,同时也是一个难点问题。法医病理学中的时间问题主要包括:死亡时间、损伤时间、猝死者病理学标本能够诊断的时间(包括发病多久可以诊断及保存多久可以诊断)、水中经过时间等,其中尤其以死亡时间为研究热点。现结合本单位的研究结果,就死亡时间推断问题做一介绍。     

Developmental Validation of the Quantifiler® Duo DNA Quantification Kit for Simultaneous Quantification of Total Human and Human Male DNA and Detection of PCR Inhibitors in Biological Samples*

Abstract: The Quantifiler^® Duo DNA Quantification kit enables simultaneous quantification of human DNA and human male DNA as well as detection of inhibitors of PCR in a single real-time PCR well. Pooled human male genomic DNA is used to generate standard curves for both human (ribonuclease P RNA component H1) and human male (sex determining region Y) specific targets. A shift in the cycle threshold (C_T) values for the internal positive control monitors the presence of PCR inhibitors in a sample. The assay is human specific and exhibits a high dynamic range from 0.023 to 50 ng/μL. In addition, the multiplex assay can detect as little as 25 pg/μL of human male DNA in the presence of a 1000-fold excess of human female DNA. The multiplex assay provides assessment of the DNA extract and guidance for the selection of the appropriate AmpFℓSTR^® Amplification Kit to obtain interpretable short tandem repeat profiles.     

心理测试技术中情绪机制的应用

心理测试技术是一项多学科综合应用的产物,但心理学是其最重要的理论根基和发展动力。个体情绪机制是心理测试技术存在和应用的一个重要的心理学原理。在实际应用中,还必须结合犯罪嫌疑人情绪机制的特点,分析其在测前谈话中的调动作用,在正式测试中的聚焦作用和在测后谈话中的突破作用。     

Implementation of a semi-automated processing system for DNA profiling of forensic casework samples

The concept for a semi-automated processing system for DNA analysis of crime scene samples was developed at the Landeskriminalamt Baden-Württemberg (LKA BW) and comprises the extraction of genomic DNA from human cells by ChargeSwitch^® magnetic bead technology (CST), quantification of purified DNA by real-time PCR, amplification of short tandem repeats (STRs) by PCR and DNA fragment length analysis of STRs by capillary electrophoresis. Three liquid handling workstations from Tecan, a real-time PCR device and a 16-channel capillary electrophoresis (CE) system, both from Applied Biosystems (AB), are linked via laboratory data network. Transmission and management of sample and analysis data is enabled by a Laboratory Information and Management System (LIMS). Suitability for a wide range of stain types, early exclusion of DNA-free samples, barcode sample identification and prevention of cross-contaminations guarantee efficiency and high quality standards.     

人脾脏细胞核DNA含量与死亡时间关系的图像分析

目的研究人脾脏细胞DNA含量改变与死亡时间的关系。方法选取36例已知死亡时间的人体脾脏,在死后5～36h内逐时进行细胞学涂片、Feulgen Vans染色观察,并用图像分析系统,测定脾脏细胞核积分光密度、平均灰度等灰度参数,所得数据用SPSS软件分析。结果在5～36h内平均光密度、积分光密度、平均灰度均值均与死亡时间显著性相关,并得出对应的回归方程,其中平均光密度、积分光密度随死亡时间的延长而逐渐减小、平均灰度逐渐增大。结论人脾脏细胞核DNA含量改变呈现一定规律,与死亡时间明显相关。     

Characterization of human DNA in environmental samples

Environmental samples from indoor surfaces can be confounded by dust, which is composed largely of human skin cells and has been documented to contain roughly tens of micrograms of total DNA per gram of dust. This study complements previous published work by providing estimates of the quantity of amplifiable human DNA found in environmental samples from a typical indoor environment, categorized by the intensity of human traffic and visible quantity of dust. Dust was collected by surface swabbing standard 576 cm² areas in eight locations, and evaluated for total DNA quantity, presence of human DNA (mitochondrial and nuclear loci using conventional PCR), quantity of human nuclear DNA using quantitative PCR, and STR analysis. The total DNA content of 36 dust samples ranged from 9 to 28 ng/cm², and contained 0.2–1.1 pg/cm² of human DNA. Overall, human DNA was detected in 97% of 36 dust samples and 61% of samples yielded allele distributions of varying degrees of complexity when subjected to STR analysis. The implications of this study are twofold. First, the presence of dust in evidence can be a significant contamination source in forensic investigations because the human DNA component is of sufficient quality and quantity to produce allele calls in STR analysis. This can be effectively managed by implementing stringent protocols for collection and analysis of potential biological samples. A second implication is the use of dust as a source of evidence for identification of inhabitants within a defined location. In the latter case, a number of additional studies would be necessary to identify relevant pretreatments for environmental dust samples and to develop the necessary deconvolution techniques to separate the composite genotypes obtained.

DNA typing in populations of mule deer for forensic use in the Province of Alberta

The present study involves the development of forensic DNA typing tests and databases for mule deer in the Province of Alberta. Two multiplex PCR reactions interrogating 10 loci were used to analyze samples from three populations of mule deer. Additionally, an amelogenin based sex-typing marker was used to determine the gender of samples. Results show that the tests and databases are appropriate for use in forensic applications. Additionally, the results indicate that there is little population structure in mule deer in Alberta and that no changes to management of this game species are suggested.
