Identifying the origin of body fluids left at a crime scene can give a significant insight into crime scene reconstruction by supporting a link betw een sample donors and actual criminal acts. How ev-er, the conventional body fluid identification methods are prone to various limitations, such as time con-sumption, intensive labor, nonparallel manner, varying degrees of sensitivity and limited specificity. Re-cently, the analysis of cell-specific messenger RNA expression (mRNA profiling) has been proposed to supplant conventional methods for body fluid identification. Since 2011, the collaborative exercises have been organized by the European DNA Profiling Group (EDNAP ) in order to evaluate the robustness and reproducibility of mRNA profiling for body fluid identification. The major advantages of mRNA profil-ing, compared to the conventional methods, include higher sensitivity, greater specificity, the ability of detecting several body fluids in one multiplex reaction, and compatibilitywith current DNA extraction and analysis procedure. In the current review ,we provided an overview of the present know ledge and detection methodologies of mRNA profiling for forensic body fluid identification and discussed its possi-ble practical application to forensic casew ork.

Objective To assess the quality of international studies on using aldosterone to renin activity ratio (ARR) to diagnose primary aldesteronism. Methods We searched the Cachrane Library (1962-2007.12), PubMed(1970-2007.12) ,VIP(1989-2007.12) ,Wan Fang database(1982-2007.12) ,CBMdisc(1978 -2007.12) systematically. Language was limited to Chinese and English. The Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies(QUADAS) was used to assess the quality of induced diagnostic studies by two reviewers inde-pendently. Results Fourteen studies were included and assessed. We found that most of the studies were not met with QUADAS items. Nine studies didn't chose correct cases that included miscellaneous cases and confused ca-ses. Eight studies didn't describe internalized or exclusive references clearly. The gold standard in three studies could not discriminate whether the diagnosis of patients was confirmed or not. Thirteen studies did not use blind trial to compare the diagnostic test and the gold standard. Conclusions The studies using ARR to diagnose pri-mary aldesteronism should be improved in patients selection, the gold standard selection, comparison of blind trial and bias control.
