Postmortem interval, also as known as time of death, means time interval from the found and check of the body to the time of the death. The exact estimation of postmortem interval has important practical value in forensic science. The exact estimation of PMI becomes an important and difficult question in forensic science.There are many [...]

Background and objective: It is the important problem to conclude postmortem interval (PMI) for the practice of forensic science , although how to exactly deduce PMI is challenging.The relation between the change of ion concentration of Vitreous humor and PMI after death, attracts more and more attention. But the influence of different factors resulting in [...]

Study background and objctive: In forensic practice, the Postmortem interval(PMI )which has been being one of the focus and emphasis forensic study is very important .With the rapid development of the molecular biology and information technology, Forensic pathology research also gradually develop in the field of molecular biology information.Currently we has also achieved some encouraging [...]

Objective: the content of isolated rat cardiac and skeletal muscle were detectde by immunoblotting (western blot) at high temperature (30℃) and low temperature (10℃) and to study the rule of the degradation of isolated rat cardiac and skeletal myoglobin ,and to discuss the relationship between the degradation of isolated rat cardiac and skeletal myoglobin and [...]

Part Ⅰ:Image analysis for degradation of DNA in retinal nuclei of rat after death[Background]The estimation of Postmortem interval (PMI), especially the early elapsed time since death has been one of the difficult fields in forensic pathology. Accurate estimation for PMI could provide clues for criminal investigation and evidences for trial or judicial proceedings. Number of [...]

Postmortem interval (PMI) estimation is one of the most important and most difficult tasks in the practice and scientific research of forensic pathology. PMI estimation might be a complex system, which must be based on many independent and relative sub-systems. In most early PMI cases, the common indicators such as rigor mortis, livor mortis, and [...]

Estimating the postmortem interval is one of the important and difficult points in the practical case detecting and research work in forensic pathology. For a long time, scholars from domestic and abroad tried to deduce PMI, especially early deduction, by applying lots of techniques and methods, such as various phenomena of posthumous cadaver, muscular supravital [...]

Postmortem chemistry investigates the postmortem changes of chemical components in blood, cerebrospinal fluid, vitreous humor (VH) and some other body fluids. And vitreous humor has become the most utilized medium for postmortem chemistry analyze for reasons that it is anatomically isolated, well protected, less subject to contamination or putrefaction and its autolysis changes proceed slower [...]

Estimation of postmortem interval is one of the important tasks to be firstly solved in the practical work of forensic medicine, but simultaneously it is a difficult point. To accurately estimate postmortem interval can greatly help provide important clues in criminal case detection. It has an important significance in designating the scope of reconnaissance, identifying [...]

[BACKGROUND]Estimation of Postmortem interval (PMI) has always being a crucial and difficult topicfor forensic pathology study and practice.Up to now,no objective and accurate method isoffered for the estimation of PMI,especially for late period after death and decomposedcorpse.The former researches focused on the decomposition of endogenous substances.Dueto the time limit of conservation and existence of these [...]
