[Molecular Genetic Analysis of One Sudden Unexplained Death in the Young by Whole Exome Sequencing].

Objective: To find the mutation of disease-causing genes of sudden unexplained death syndrome (SUDS) in the young by whole exome sequencing in one case.

Methods: One SUDS case was found no obvious fatal pathological changes after conventional autopsy and pathological examination. The whole exome sequencing was performed with the Ion Torrent PGM™ System with hg19 as reference sequence for sequencing data.

[Estimation of postmortem interval by detecting thickness of cornea using ultrasonic method].

Objective: To explore the postmortem changes of cornea thickness measured by ultrasonic pachymetry.

Methods: Eleven rabbits were randomly divided into two groups: one group with intact corneal epithelium and another group without intact corneal epithelium. In the later group, the corneal epithelium of the rabbit was scraped using mechanical elimination method.
