    Abstract ( 2721 )  
    Objective To study the changes of electrocardiograms(ECG)and myocardial ultrastructure in heroin dependence in rats,in order to reveal the mechanisms of the myocardial injury by heroin.Meth-ods Establish heroin addict model in SD mice,investigate the changes in electrocardiograms,HE staining and myocardial ultrastructure.Results The electrocardiograms of the addict group had prominently changes,main expressions:heart rate decreased,P wave and T wave amplitude reduced and duration in-creased,S-T reduced and duration increased,QT interval prolongation,these changes indicated that my-ocardium had been injured,myocardial ischemia,ventricle function declined.These difference was signifi-cant(P<0.05)between before inject heroin and after inject heroin.Transformations in the ultrastructure:nuclear concentrate,reduce,nuclear membrane shrink,chromatin agglutinate,mitochondria cristal had dis-order formation,disappeared or hollowed,these indicated that heroin could cause pathological changes in myocardial ultrastructure.Conclusion Above-mentioned changes indicated that heroin can injure myocardi-um,and the changes of myocardial ultrastructure suggested that myocardial apoptosis may be one of the mechanisms of the myocardial injury by heroin.

    Abstract ( 1851 )  
    Objective This study was performed to detect the phosphorylation state of Cx43in human left ven-tricular myocardium among sudden deaths caused by acute myocardial ischemia(AMI)especially sudden coro-nary death(SCD)and control groups.And then evaluate the significance of these findings in diagnosing the early pathological changes of acute myocardial ischemia.Methods Immunohistochemistry(IHC)SP techniques were adopted to detect the phosphorylation state of Cx43in the left ventricular myocardium samples of45deceased,which classified as groupⅠ-SCD,groupⅡ&Ⅲ(other two groups of AMI)and GroupⅣ&Ⅴ(two control groups,sudden death caused by lethal acute cranio-cerebral injury or pathologic intracranial hemorrhage).In addition,we selected anti-Pan-Cadherin(construction protein of adherent junctions on the intercalated disc)and PHA-E+L/Bio,to detect the integration of myocardial mechanical coupling and membranes(applying affinityhisto-chemistry,AHC)respectively.Results⑴Phosphorylated Cx43positive staining was almost invisible in GroupⅠ,ⅡandⅢor scattered in sarcoplasm in few samples;but it was assembling at the IDs clearly in groupⅣandⅤ.⑵Strongly positive staining of Pan-Cadherin could be observed at the IDs and⑶integrated myocardial mem-branes were found in all samples.Conclusion These findings suggested that compared with the control groups,the integration of myocardial mechanical coupling and membranes did not alter in AMI.But Cx43,the key pro-tein of electrical coupling on myocardial gap junctions,occurred dephosphorylation remarkably in AMI.Thus ap-plying IHC techniques to detect the Cx43dephosphorylation in human left ventricular myocardium maybe useful to recognize the onset of arrhythmia in AMI,especially in SCD whose myocardium without apparent morphologi-cal changes.

    Abstract ( 2257 )  
    The manner of cell death is a hotspot of medical researchers.Apoptosis and necrosis were considered as two manners of cell death in the past.But recently a new manner of cell death—oncosis is gradually accepted by the pathologists.Oncosis is different from apoptosis in morphologic,mechanism and the role in cardiovascular diseases.In this paper,the progression of the research about manner of the cardiomyocyte death and its signifi-cance in forensic medicine in recent years was reviewed.

    Abstract ( 1839 )  
    Impairment of neuronal mitochondria following hypoxia of brain not only result in nerve cell's energy-deprivation and dysfunction,mitochondria also play key roles in apoptosis of neurons.A central step being the release of cytochrome c(cyt c)across the outer mitochondrial membrane into the cytoplasm through opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore.Releasing of cytochrome c induce to downstream consequences of specific caspase activation.The antiapoptotic and proapoptotic members of the Bcl-2family regulate mitochondrial activities relevant to apoptotic signaling by influencing the realaseing of cyt c.

    The study developments about changes of methamphetamine-induced genes' transcriptions and translations
    YANG JING(WEST CHINA SCHOOL OF PRECLINICAL AND FORENSIC MEDICINE;SICHUAN UNIVERSITY;CHENGDU00;CHINA)
    2004, 0(3): 185-188. 
    Abstract ( 2242 )  
    The basic changes are to transform the levels of many genes' transcriptions and translations when methamphetamine is injected into the organism.Those genes enclose four classes:genes intermediating the dam-ages or death of neurons,genes involving circadian rhythms of activity,genes concerning the abnormality of be-haviors and some genes difficult to be classified.The transformations of the transcriptions or translations of these genes cooperate to produce many clinic syndromes of methamphetamine-addictors.Moreover,the study of these genes can provide testimonies to forensic identification.
