Abstract: Objective To study the development and changes of pressure of putrefactive gas (PPG) in cadaveric enterocelia in spring,and to explore its application in estimation of postmortem interval (EPI). Methods 57 goats were divided into 2 groups according to means of death,on land or in water. Celiac PPG were observed timely and systematically. Results The development of PPG in cadaveric enterocelia,which can be divided into raising phase,peak phase,and declining phase was observed,and a model to estimate postmortem interval by changes of PPG was founded. Conclusion Measuring PPG in cadaveric enterocelia could be used in forensic EPI.

Key words: spring, pressure of putrefactive gas (PPG), measure of PPG, estimation of postmortem interval (EPI)
