Objective To explore the application value of postm ortem m ulti-slice spiral com puted tom og-raphy (MSCT) in cases of fall from height through observing and analyzing the injury features of the fall and reconstructing the process of the fall based on the the above procedure. Methods One real fatal case due to fall from height was fully exam ined using MSCTand three-dim ensional reconstruction tech-nique. Analyzing the m anner and cause of death through com bination of MSCTand system ic autopsy was also im plem ented. The differences betw een autopsy and MSCTin getting inform ation of injuries were com pared. Results Fractures involving m ultiple body regions and liver rupture were found through MSCTand three-dim ensional reconstruction. The autopsy got the sam e results w ith im ageological exam i-nation. The case of death was deduced to be fall leading to system ic polytraum a. Conclusion Applica-tion of MSCTcan be used as the com plim entary for traditional autopsy in the analysis of injury m anner of fall from height.

Objective To approach the correlation of the left ventricular function in elderly patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) at low-risk factor. Methods Forty-five elderly patients hospitalized for AMI were registered, including 20 patients who were underwent emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) after the onset of AMI and 25 patients who received conservative non-invasive therapies. These 45 cases all received echocardiography(ECHO) examination in the 4th and 24th week after acute myocardial infarction. Results In the PCI group, end-diastolic volume index (EDVI) and end-systolic volume index (ESVI) had significant difference (P0.05) after therapy; WMSI was higher than PCI group (P

Objective To explore the application value of postm ortem m ulti-slice spiral com puted tom o-graphy (MSCT) by observing and analyzing the injury features in the traffic accident victim s. Methods Ten traffic accident victim s w ere scanned w ith w hole body MSCT. The system ic autopsy w as subse-quently perform ed to com pare w ith the results of MSCT. The advantages and disadvantages of autopsy and MSCTfor obtaining the inform ation of traffic accident injuries w ere then analyzed. Results MSCTcould reveal 3D shape of fractures clearly and detect air accum ulation in different positions of the body, w hich show ed the obvious advantages com pared w ith autopsy. H ow ever, the resolution of MSCTw as lim ited com pared to the detection of organ and soft tissue injuries. Conclusion A com bination of MSCTand autopsy is the best w ay for determ ining the m anner and the cause of death in traffic fatality victim s.

Postm ortem chem istry is becom ing m ore and m ore essential in routine forensic pathology and has m ade considerable progress over the past years. B iochem ical analyses of vitreous hum or, blood, urine and cerebrospinal fluid m ay provide im portant inform ation in determ ining the cause of death or in elucidating forensic issues. Postm ortem chem istry m ay be essential for the determ ination of cause of death w hen m orphological m ethods (diabetes m ellitus, alcoholic ketoacidosis and electrolytic disorders) cannot detect the pathophysiological changes involved in the death process. It can also provide m any in-form ation in other forensic situations, including m yocardial ischem ia, sepsis, inflam m ation, infection, ana-phylaxis and horm onal disturbances. T he m ost recent relevant research advances on glucose m etabolism , liver function, cardiac function, renal function, sepsis, inflam m ation, infection, anaphylaxis and horm onal aspect are hereby review ed.

Objective To explore the application value of multi-slice spiral computed tomography (MSCT) in traffic accidents through observing and analyzing the injury features of the accidents. Methods Two fatal cases caused by traffic accidents were fully examined using MSCT, 3D imaging reconstruction and angiography through cardiac puncture. The features of traffic injury mechanism were analyzed through combination of MSCT and postmortem external examination. Results In case 1, right cardiac rupture was found by MSCT and angiography through cardiac puncture. The cause of death was cardiac tam-ponade and right ventricular rupture due to the crush injury of chest in the traffic accident. In case 2, splenic rupture and intra-abdominal hemorrhage was found and caused by injury of left trunk by MSCT. The cause of death was hemorrhage and traumatic shock. Conclusion MSCT could observe skeletal in-jury, soft tissue injury, and hematologic disorder well. The combination use of MSCT and angiography through cardiac puncture provided assistance to the diagnosis of cardiovascular system injury.

Senile dementia is a disease that gradually develops with age. At present, the etiology, pathogenesis and treatment of senile dementia cannot be completely determined clinically. Therefore, it is extremely necessary to prevent and treat senile dementia from prevention and disease management. For the non-ill people, this article analyzed the susceptible groups of senile dementia from the perspective of TCM constitution, combined with the current prevention plan of Alzheimer's disease, from the aspects of examination, nutritional supplementation, adjustment of work and rest, exercise, etc., early physical fitness prevention targeting populations at different stages was conducted; the early onset of senile dementia is not obvious, and the early prevention of senile dementia can be carried out from various aspects in combination with constitution identification and inspection of senile dementia; for the exact sick population, disease management guidance can be added on the basis of the above aspects to provide definite and feasible recommendations for disease prevention and management of the elderly.

ObjectiveTo explore the correlation between blood stasis constitution (BSC) and diseases based on constitution literature involving “constitution-diseases correlation”. MethodsA comprehensive search was conducted on six Chinese and English electronic databases including CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, SinoMed, PubMed and Embase to find all clinical researches on the correlation between constitution and diseases using the Classification and Identification of Chinese Medicine Constitution standard from April 1st, 2009 to December 31st, 2022, and the participants of the research were BSC related. By analyzing the characteristics of the literature, such as authors, publication institutes, participants, and results, the disease with the highest proportion of BSC distribution or BSC as their risk factors or protective factors were summarized to explore the correlation between BSC and diseases. ResultsTotally 135 clinical studies on diseases highly related to BSC were included, with a total sample size of 71 172 cases.There were 27 keywords in the articles appeared more than 3 times, including the elderly, lumbar disc herniation, coronary heart disease, cardiovascular disease, and endometriosis. In the author's clustering, included studis were mainly from Shenzhen Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, Second Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine, and Wenzhou Central Hospital. In terms of blood stasis related diseases, 81 studies showed that BSC was the most common type of constitution in the study population, involving 48 disease or morbid states. The diseases and median proportions of BSC with reported literature ≥3 included coronary heart disease (28.8%), endometriosis (31.3%), neurocognitive impairment (26.4%), lumbar disc herniation (26.0%), ischemic stroke (25.0%), adenomyosis (34.7%), and endometrial polyps (25.0%). Fifty-eight studies found that BSC was a risk factor for disease occurrence,and these diseases reported more than 3 times included hypertension (median OR = 2.956), type 2 diabetes (median OR = 3.436),osteoporosis (median OR = 5.171), sudden deafness (median OR = 3.827) and endometriosis (median OR = 5.412). One study indicated BSC as the protective factor of lateral growth tumor of large intestine (median OR = 0.161). ConclusionBSC is closely related to circulatory system diseases, urogenital system diseases, and musculoskeletal system diseases.
