    Abstract ( 2054 )  
    Objective To investigate the relationship between minimum contralateral masking level(MCML) and pure tone threshold of the masking ears by the same frequency tone masking test. Methods The pure tone thresholds of 30 subjects(60 ears) were measured by pure tone audiometry and MCML was obtained by means of the same frequency tone masking test. Results When the stimulus was at the threshold of masked ears,the differences between MCML and pure tone threshold of masking ears were among 0-30 dBHL. 82.4 percent of results showed the differences not higher than 10 dBHL, 97.1 percent of results showed the differences not higher than 15 dBHL.When the stimulus was at 10 dBHL above the threshold of masked ears,the differences between MCML and pure tone threshold of masking ears were among 0-35 dBHL. 90.5 percent of results showed the differences not higher than 25 dBHL,98.1 percent of results showed the differences not higher than 30dBHL. Conclusion The real thresholds can be deduced correctly by the same frequency tone masking test.

    2005, 0(2): 84-85+8. 
    Abstract ( 2034 )  
    Objective To explore an approach of CT rendering and mechanical analysis for rib fracture that was inextricable on X-ray film in legal medical practice. Methods 17 cases with rib fracture undetermined on X-ray chest film in legal medical practice underwent CT scans. The thin slices (0.75 mm or 1mm) of images were reconstructed with smooth and sharp kernel.The multiplanar reformatted images along rib and surface shaded display were obtained to investigate rib fracture. Results All rib fractures were accurately displayed by CT scan and MPR images along rib. The torque that caused rib fracture was divided presumably into vertical and rotary types. The two kinds of rib fracture, composed of vertical and rotary type, were proposed. Conclusion CT scan with thin slice and MPR images can definitely reveal the rib fracture unresolved on X-ray film in legal medical practice. The proposition of two kinds of torque will be help avoid misunderstanding acute rotary type of rib fracture as old healed one.

    Abstract ( 2143 )  
    Objective To observe and analyze the characteristic of mutation at STR locus. Methods 27 mutant genes observed in 1 211 paternity testing cases were checked by PAGE-silver stained and PowerPlex 16 System Kit and validated by sequencing. Results Mutant genes locate on 15 loci. The pattern of mutation was accord with stepwise mutation model. The mutation ratio of male-to-female was 8∶1 and correlated to the age of father. Conclusion Mutation rate is correlated to the geometric mean of the number of homogeneous repeats of locus. The higher the mean, the higher the mutation rate. These loci are not so appropriate for use in paternity testing.

    2005, 0(2): 110-112. 
    Abstract ( 1889 )  
    Objective To observe the degradation of actin and tubulin in the liver tissue of rats after death and to find an objective indicator of the postmortem interval(PMI). Methods Female rats were killed under anesthesia by ether and incubated at 21℃ in a temperature controlled system to simulate postmortem changes for 18 days postmortem. Protein in the hepatic tissue was extracted, actin and tubulin were then examined by western blot. Thereafter, the semi-quantitative analysis of the image of western blot was performed. Results Actin in the liver tissue of rats could be detected at 8 days postmortem, but could not be examined after 10 days postmortem. β-tubulin rather than α-tubulin could be examined after 2 days postmortem, and β-tubulin could not be examined at 4 days postmortem. Conclusion There is some difference in the degradation between actin and tubulin, their different preservation period postmortem may be used as a parameter for PMI estimation.

    Abstract ( 2228 )  
    S100β is one kind of the calcium binding proteins. As growth factor of neuraxon, it is excreted by neuroglial cell, and distributing in nerve tissue extensively. Although S100β has very important values neurophysiological, it also has neurotoxicity with excreting overmuch. Concentration of S100β changes regularity in serum after the brain injury. In addition, it has a close relations with the degree of brain damage, which can be regarded as the neural new marker of biochemistry after brain damage. The advances of S100β protein, in the research on neurophysiological values and its application for nerve tissue injury, disease were reviewed.

    2005, 0(2): 155-158. 
    Abstract ( 1795 )  
    Estimating tooth age and skeletal age are the two primary methods in age estimation of forensic medicine. But they are often impacted with geographical environment, nutrition, habitation and ethenologic differences,so the accuracy will be reduced, especially to the adult. With the study of telomere, it is certain that the length of the telomere DNA can reflect the cell division and represent the cell lifespan,and it has some pertinence to the age of the donor, so to measure the length of telomere DNA is a new and valuable method for age estimation in the forensic medicine.
