Abstract: Objective To study changes of DNA content in nuclear of the heart cellule of rats and relationship with the postmortem interval(PMI).Methods This experiment chose seven parameter of cell nuclear,including the area and integral optical density,determined the changes of DNA content in the heart cellule of15rats at different intervals between25and49h postmortem with the auto-TV-image system.Results The degradation rate of DNA in nuclear has a certainty relationship to the PMI a little later of rat.Conclusion Determining the quantity of DNA in nuclear should be an objective and exact way to estimate the PMI with the auto-TV-image system.

Key words: postmortem in terval, lmage analysis, rat, heart, DNA content
