    Abstract ( 2071 )  
    Objective Study on the pattern of changes of bFGF and FGFR1 immunoreactivity occurred in the experimental brain injury model for the purpose of providing the scientific basis for molecular pathological diagnosis, forensic identification, clinical treatment as well as further ascertaining the molecular mechanism of brain injury. Methods Male SD rats were divided into normal control, sham operation control and injury groups. The rats of injury groups were subjected to moderate lateral fluid percussion brain injury (0.2 mPa). The injury groups were then subdivided into 30 min, 1,3,6,12 h,1,3,7 d groups according to the time elapsed after injury. The SP immunohistochemistry method was used to examine the expression of both bFGF and FGFR1 factors in rat brain. Results In the brain of normal control and sham operation control groups, the low expression levels of bFGF and FGFR1 were observed. The increase of bFGF and FGFR1 immunoreactivity could be observed 6 h after injury in cortex and brain stem, reached to the peak at 1 d and remained at the high level up to 3 d, then partly declined at 7 d. In hippocampus, however, the increase occur as early as 3 h after injury, reached to the peak at 1 d and then decreased progressively, and returned to basal level at 7 d. Conclusion The results suggested that brain injury induced the gene expressions of bFGF and FGFR1. The bFGF may contribute to maintenance of nerve cell survival and the repair of damaged neural tissues after CNS injury and the patterns of their level change were quite regular and can be used for timing of injury in forensic medicine aspect.

    Abstract ( 2197 )  
    Objective To investigate the relationship between postmortem interval (PMI) and the metabolic law of the amount of DNA in cells. Methods After different PMI from the heart, liver, spleen and kidney were taken into pieces respectively, then centrifuged and digested to get suspending cells fluid. The amount of DNA of rats′viscera were detected by flow cytometry after stained by fluorescence , and also inspect the amount of DNA in different periods to find out the law of its variation. Results It showed a descendent trend of the amount of DNA in cells after different PMI, especially in spleen. Conclusion The amount of DNA of all the viscera grows downwards after death, this might be applyed in forensic estimation of PMI.

    Abstract ( 2037 )  
    Objective To explore the expression of interleukin-10 (IL-10) in different expressive parts and its relationship with the wound age during cutaneous wound healing in mice. Methods Immunohistochemical and morphometrical analysis methods were performed on vital skin wounds. Results In normal and injury mouse skin IL-10 immunoreactivity was observed in epidermal cells. The expression of IL-10 in epidermal cells was already enhanced since 1~3 h after incision, and it returned to lower lever by 24 h, but increased again at 48 h after injury. IL-10 immunoreactivive cells under epidermis were mainly infiltrating mononuclear cells. Morphometrically, the ratio of the number of infiltrating cells was evaluated. A subsequent increase in the IL-10 positive cells was observed in the granulation tissue beyond the wound and in dermal at 6 h after incision, and the maximum ratio was (51.41±3.12)% in a 72 h-old wound. Then the positive cells gradually decreased (29.38±2.64)%~(5.56±4.74)% after incision 96~168h. Conclusions The expression characteristics of IL-10 in different expressive parts should be related to the wound age and morphometry of different expressive parts may be employed for determining the wound age.

    TAO LU-YANG;CHEN XI-PING;DING MEI;ET AL. (SCHOOL OF MEDICINE;SUZHOU UNIVERSITY;SUZHOU 00;CHINA)
    2004, 0(2): 73-76+8. 
    Abstract ( 1838 )  
    Objective To investigate the expression of NF-κB in different post-traumatic intervals and severity of brain injury. Methods Fifty-four brain tissue samples of slight (n=24), moderate(n=24) brain injury, sham(n=3) and control (n=3) of rat were examined by immunohistochemical staining, westernblot and RT-PCR. Results Up-regulating of NF-κB expression was found in tissues from traumatic brain injury compared with controls in early 1 hour after TBI, and reached peak at 24h and 48h and disappeared after 7 days. The expression of NF-κB mRNA has association with contusion severity. Conclusion NF-κB may benefit to the estimation of posttraumatic intervals of brain injury.

    2004, 0(2): 77-80+1. 
    Abstract ( 2164 )  
    Objective To screen the differential expression of oncogenes and tumors suppressed genes(OTS genes) after human brain contusion by cDNA microrarray. Mathods The total RNAs isolated from normal and contusion human brain tissues were purified by Oligotex to obtain mRNAs. Both sources of mRNAs were reversely transcribed to cDNAs with the incorporation of fluorescent dUTP to prepare the hybridization probes. The probe from normal tissue and the contusion brain tissue were labeled with Cy3-dUTP and Cy5-dUTP respectively. The mixed probes were hybridized to the BioDoor Chip OTS-2.2S, a cDNA microarray which contains 227 oncogenes and tumors suppressed genes. After high-stringent washing, the cDNA microarray was scanned for the fluorescent signals and showed differences between two tissues. Results Among the 227 target genes, 3 genes including Human carcinoma associated HOJ-1(HoJ-1), Human KIAAOO65 gene,Human retinoblastoma related protein (p107) gene, showed distinct deference in expression level between the human brain contusion tissue and normal tissue. Conclusion The 3 genes in the brain contusion was significantly the differential expression by OTS 2.2S cDNA microarray. Further analysis of these genes will be helpful to understand the molecular mechanism of brain injury and utilization in forensic medicine.

    Recently, the special characteristics of work with SARS require particular attention to the facilities, equipment, policies and procedures involved. In fact, an autopsy also subject prosectors and others to a wide variety of hazards, including bloodborne, aerosolized pathogens and others (for example SARS). Forensic pathologists and other persons in close proximity to an autopsy need personal protective equipment, fourthemore, laboratory procedure and facility design principles of biosafety should be established for the protection of all personnal involved in the work.

    Abstract ( 1956 )  
    The mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is a small circular genome located within the mitochondria in the cytoplasm of the cell. Evidence of its existence first arose over 30 years ago. Now the field of the mitochondria is one of the fastest growing disciplines in biomedicine which is driven by fundamentally interesting questions. These questions are mainly about the way of mitochondria evolving and energy producing. In addition, what the consequences of mitochondrial genome mutations in diseases are? How program cell death is regulated? What happens to mitochondria when aging? These questions remain to be answered and the basic understanding of them will contribute to anthropological and forensic analysis, as well as therapy of many diseases. The following review has brought this question to notice by summarizing recent mitochondria research.
