[Identification of sarcosaphagous Calliphorid flies by analyzing the sequence of 16S rDNA].

Objective: To explore the application of a 289bp fragment of the 16S rDNA gene to identify various species of sarcosaphagous Calliphorid flies.

Methods: Twenty-six Calliphorid flies were collected from 14 Chinese provinces. All specimens were properly assigned into three genera and six species.

[Recombinant plasmid ZLW/pEGFP-C2 transfection into schistosomula of Schistosoma japonicum].

Objective: To study the efficiency of ZLW/pEGFP-C2 plasmid transfection into Schistosoma japonicum schistosomula and observe its in vitro effect of anti-schistosomula.

Methods: Recombinant plasmid ZLW/pEGFP-C2 was transfected into mechanically transformed schistosomula by immersion in 0.75% DMSO and high concentration of plasmid.

[Comparison of mtDNA extraction from different parts of sarcosaphagous insects].

Objective: To explore mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) extraction effects of different parts from sarcosaphagous insects using improved cetyltriethylammnonium bromide (CTAB) method.

Methods: Thirteen Lucilia sericata (Meigen) and 13 Nicrophorus fossor (Erichson) were collected from the corpses of rabbits placed on the outdoor lawn in Huhehot district. Four parts (head, chest muscle, legs and wings) of insect were collected, and the mtDNA of all samples were extracted using CTAB method.

[Succession of sarcosaphagous insects at summer and autumn in Shijiazhuang area].

Objective: To study the succession of sarcosaphagous insects and their regular activity on carcass in Shijiazhuang area.

Methods: Nine rabbits were sacrificed and placed at the same site during June to September in 2007-2009. The common species of sarcosaphagous insects were observed.

[Screening and characterization of peptides specifically binding to the schistosomulum tegument of Schistosoma japonicum].

Objective: To screen and analyze the peptides in 12 phage-display peptide library specifically binding to the schistosomulum tegument of Schistosoma japonicum.

Methods: A 12 phage-display peptide library was screened with the S. japonicum schistosomula as the target cells for biopanning by degrees, positive clones picked randomly were deduced by DNA sequencing.

[Extract human DNA from maggot crop contents by phenol-chloroform method coupled with paramagnetic particle method].

Objective: To establish an effective phenol-chloroform method coupled with paramagnetic particle method for human DNA extraction from maggot crop contents in STR genotyping.

Methods: Human DNA was extracted from the maggot crop contents using phenol-chloroform method and purified by paramagnetic particle method. DNA was quantified by PCR with Quantifiler Human DNA Quantification Kit using 7500 real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR instrument.

[The development and application of lie detection in forensic science].

Lie detection technology has been applied increasingly to investigate and solve criminal cases. This article explores the evolvement of lie detection technology in the ancient times and the application of the psychological and physiological parameters which have become more accurate with the introduction of modern polygraph. The cognitive exploration and the application of Event Related Potentials (ERPs), functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI), and Event-Related functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (E-R fMRI) have made detection technology focus on the brain activities, which produce more objective results by tracing the original state of lying.

[Advances of forensic entomology in China].

Forensic entomology is a branch of forensic medicine, which applies studies of insects and arthropods to getting evidence for court and has an analogous advantage in the estimation of the postmortem interval (PMI) and other questions of forensic relevance. The paper expounds its definition and contents and reviews some progress of the studies in some aspects in China such as the constitution and succession of insect community on the different cadavers, the applications of morphological features of insects and the technology of analysis of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) in forensic entomology, and forensic entomological toxicology etc.

[Relationship between CO II gene of mtDNA of Lucilia sericata and latitude interval].

Objective: To deduce the region that the geographical species of Lucilia sericata come from and determine the scene of crime (SOC) based on the gene analysis of mtDNA CO II.

Methods: A 635 bp region for CO II of 4 Lucilia sericata (belong to 2 geographical species) were collected and sequenced, compared with the data of GenBank. A neighbour-joining tree with the Tamura and Nei model was constructed by MEGA2.
