早期死亡时间推断研究进展

Research Progress on Estimation of Early Postmortem Interval

死亡时间推断在判断案件的性质、划定侦查范围及锁定嫌疑人等方面至关重要,一直是法医病理学工作的重点和难点。早期死亡时间,即指死后24 h以内,由于距离案发时间更短,对其准确推断能促进案件的成功侦破,具有重要的法医学意义。近年来,国内外法医学者运用一系列新方法和新技术对早期死亡时间推断进行了大量研究。本文对体液生物化学、超生反应、代谢组学、影像学、遗传物质降解规律等方面的研究进展进行综述,以期为早期死亡时间推断的研究和应用提供新的思路。

Estimation of postmortem interval （PMI） is very important for judging the nature of cases, restricting the scope of investigation and suspect, which is always the emphasis and difficulty for foren-sic pathology. Early postmortem interval is the time between 0 and 24 hours after death. Due to the shorter time after the case occurred, precisely estimating early postmortem interval can help solve crimes, which has important significance in forensic medicine. In recent years, series of advanced methods and technologies are used to estimate the early PMI by the internal and overseas scholars who work in the forensic area. This paper reviews the research progress on fluids biochemistry, supravital reactions,metabolomics, imageology and the degradation rule study and application for estimation of early PMI.
