Distinguishing antemortem from postmortem injuries by LTB4 quantification.

Abstract:

:Leukotriene B4 (LTB4) in skin samples from seven forensic cases was detected by HPLC to distinguish their antemortem or postmortem origin. In total, there were thirteen antemortem and seven postmortem specimens. The results showed that LTB4 was found in all antemortem wound specimens which were either fresh, or refrigerated or fixed in formalin for less than 10 days. In contrast, LTB4 could not be detected in postmortem wound specimens. These results suggested that detecting the content of LTB4 is a useful method for distinguishing antemortem from postmortem injuries.

  • Evaluation of 1,5-anhydro-d-glucitol in clinical and forensic urine samples.

    abstract::Because of the lack of characteristic morphological findings post mortem diagnosis of diabetes mellitus and identification of diabetic coma can be complicated. 1,5-Anhydroglucitol (1,5-AG), the 1-deoxy form of glucose, competes with glucose for renal reabsorption. Therefore low serum concentrations of 1,5-AG, reflect ...
