Chinese Journal of Forensic Medicine 1986;0(01):-
Sixteen normal male volunteers were randomly divided into two groups and were asked to drink two doses of ethanol 0. 65g/kg and 0. 80g/kg alcoholic beverage seperately. Then the venous blood sample was collected at the different time. A ADH enzyme catalyzed method was used to determine the blood alcohol concentration (BAC). The experimental concentration-time (C-T) data was calcu-lated by the pharmacokinetics software,the result showed that the metabolism of alcohol confirmed with 1 -compartment nonlinear pharmacokinetics with first absorption model. According to this, a mathematic formula of alcoholic dynamics in human body was established. After the test of human ex-periment, the model was found suitable in the practice of forensic medicine.

Purpose To study the values of liver histopathological assessment grading score in differential diagnosis between biliary atresia ( BA) and infantile hepatitis ( IHS) . Methods Thirty four cases of BA and sixteen cases of IHS were analyzed retrospectively, which were diagnosed by biopsy. A hepatic histopathological assessment grading score was developed. This consisted of eight features such as cholestasis, hepatocellular damage, bile duct proliferation, portal edema, portal inflammation, portal fibrosis, extramedullary hemopoiesis and multinucleated giant hepatocytes. The total scores were 24 points. All the cases were assessed one by one. Results The total scores of BA were significantly higher than that of IHS (P<0. 001). The frequencies of bile duct proliferation, portal fibrosis and portal edema were significantly higher in BA than that in IHS group, while the frequency of multinucleated giant hepatocytes was significantly higher in IHS than that in BA group. Conclusions This scoring system is helpful in differentiating BA from IHS.

The incidence of solitary fibroma of seminal vesicle is low, and the source of seminal vesicle is rare. A 38-year-old patient was admitted to hospital because of intermittent gross hematuria for more than one month. Seminal vesicle space occupying lesions can be seen in pelvic MRI. Laparoscopic resection of right seminal vesicle tumor was performed, and the pathological diagnosis tended to solitary fibroma. During the 5-month follow-up, the symptoms of hematuria disappeared and no recurrence.
