Abstract: Objective To seek a precise method for estimating postmortem interval(PMI)in forensic medicine practice.Methods This study detected the concentration of21elements in the vitreous humor of rabbit within96hours after death and explored the relationship between their concentration and PMI using the method of ICP-MS.Result It was shown that the concentration of9elements in vitreous humor of rab bit within different intervals after death were correlated to PMI available as a reference indicator to estimate PMI.Conclusion The changes in the concentration of certain elements in vitreous humor of vitreous humor are correlated with PMI and determination of such changes can be used to estimate the time of death.

Key words: postmortem interval(PMI), element concentration, vitreous humor, rabbit
