    Abstract ( 1841 )  
    Objective According to the features of epiphyseal development of knee and ankle joints in male and female teenagers,the trend of epiphyseal development was analyzed and the possibility of its application in age estimation was discussed. Methods Firstly,radiographs of adem position were taken from both sides of knee and ankle joints from 1 709 individuals from Eastern China,Central China,and Southern China (Age:11-21 years old). Secondly,5 osteal loci were selected as bone age markers from the two joints. Thirdly,characteristics of epiphyseal development were observed systematically and comprehensively. Fourthly,the proportions of "epiphyseal fusion" in different age groups were calculated,and confirmed the numbers of people which were included by epiphyseal fusion of knee and ankle joints. Finally,age range of each epiphyseal fusion was calculated by mathematical statistical analysis. Results Compared with the data of 1960s',the age of 5 epiphyseal fusions was earlier about 2-3 years. However,the results were basically the same as the recent studies. Conclusion The data on the time of epiphyseal fusion were updated. It is important to determine the accuracy in age estimation in male and female teenagers.

    Abstract ( 1816 )  
    Objective To evaluate discriminatory analysis on source identification of gastric cancer tissue based on the number of matched STR locus or identical allele. Methods Twenty two pairs of fresh gastric cancer tissue and homologous normal tissue were genotyped with Identifilerkit. Frequencies of STR genotypic alteration(STRGA),the number of matched STR locus without identical allele(A0),with 1 identical allele(A1),or with 2 identical alleles(A2) and the number of total identical alleles(IAn) were calculated with counting method. A1,A2 and IAn were evaluated with Fisher discriminant functions to determine the source of each gastric cancer tissue. Effectiveness of the identification of gastric cancer tissue was evaluated with error rate. Results The total frequency STRGA was 3.03%(95% CI:1.46%-4.88%). There were 31.38%(95% CI:13.86%-54.87%) of gastric cancer samples carried at least one STR locus with STRGA. It was confirmed by the Fisher discriminant functions that each of the 22 gastric cancer tissue samples came from its homologous normal tissue with an error rate of 0.00%. Conclusion Frequency of STRGA in gastric cancer tissue was high. Fisher discriminant functions based on the number of identical alleles or matched STR loci could be a feasible method for source identification of body for gastric cancer tissue samples.

    2010, 0(2): 120-127. 
    Abstract ( 2023 )  
    Sudden cardiac death accounts for majority of deaths in human. Evident cardiac lesions that may explain the cause of death can be detected in comprehensive postmortem investigation in most sudden cardiac death. However,no cardiac morphological abnormality is found in a considerable number of cases although the death is highly suspected from cardiac anomaly. With the advances in the modern molecular biology techniques,it has been discovered that many of these sudden deaths are caused by congenital ion channelopathies in myocardial cell,i.e. Brugada syndrome,long QT syndrome,catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia,and short QT syndrome,etc. This article presents the molecular genetics,electrocardiographic abnormalities,clinical manifestations,and mechanisms leading to sudden cardiac death with emphasis on the role of postmortem genetic testing in certification of cause of death. It may provide helpful information in investigating sudden cardiac death due to ion channelopathies in medico-legal practice.
