Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on recognizing the characteristics of forensic clinical sex identification cases involving individuals after sex reassignment surgery in China, aiming to establish standardized identification protocols.
- Data was collected from 39 forensic cases at Fudan University, revealing that 97.4% were transgender women and a significant majority had surgeries performed in Thailand.
- The findings suggest that effective forensic identification should align primary and secondary sex characteristics with the individual's post-surgery gender presentation.
Objectives: To identify whether the relationship between Zhang A, Zhang B, Zhang C and Zhang X is the half-sibling relationship whose mother is sister (hereinafter referred to as the special half-sibling relationship) or the common first cousin relationship and discuss the application of ITO method in discriminating the special kinship.
Methods: DNA was extracted from blood stain of four identified individuals, PowerPlex 21 System and AGCU 21+1 STR kit were used to detect autosomal STR genetic markers. Investigator Argus X-12 QS kit was used to detect the X chromosome STR genetic markers, the special half-sibling index (SHSI) and first cousin index (FCI) and their likelihood ratio (LR) were calculated by ITO method.
Objective: To explore the relationship between beta-actin mRNA degradation in SD rat's brain, heart and kidney and early postmortem interval (PMI) in order to find new markers for estimating early PMI.
Methods: Rats were sacrificed and kept in the place at a temperature of 20 degrees C. The total RNA were extracted from the brain, heart and kidney at different PMI points.
Objective: To explore the relationship between the time-dependent level changes of microRNA and 18S rRNA and the different postmortem interval (PMI) in rat cardiac muscle.
Methods: SD rats were sacrificed by cervical dislocation and placed at ambient temperature 25 degrees C with a humidity of 50%. Total RNA was extracted from the rat cardiac muscle at different time points after death.
Objective: To study the effects of triptolide-medicated serum on secretory function of adrenocortical cells isolated from rats.
Methods: Thirty SD rats were randomly divided into control group, prednisone group, and low-, medium- and high-dose triptolide groups. Rats were administered with normal saline, prednisone and low-, medium- and high-dose triptolide respectively by gastrogavage to prepare sera containing drugs.
