ObjectiveA multiplex amplification system was constructed based on the capillary electrophoresis platform for simultaneous detection of saliva, semen, and vaginal secretions using tissue-specific RNA markers. The aim of this study is to identify the tissue origin of suspicious body fluid stains found at crime scenes and determine whether the body fluid stains at the crime scene are one or several types among saliva, semen, and vaginal secretions. MethodsThirty saliva samples, forty semen samples, and forty vaginal secretion samples (half from 2015 and half from 2024) were collected from healthy adult volunteers. Through primer designing, system formulation, and PCR condition optimization, a multiplex fluorescent amplification system was constructed. The specificity, sensitivity, and detection ability for mixed samples of this system were investigated, and it was tested using real crime scene materials. In the primer design stage, to reduce the requirements for RNA template quality, the amplification products were set within 80-300 bp. In the system formulation stage, dominant and subordinate primers were mainly considered. By reducing the concentration of dominant primers and increasing that of subordinate primers, a capillary electrophoresis spectrum with an appropriate peak height ratio was finally obtained. Additionally, gradient experiments were designed to adjust the concentrations of PCR reagents and PCR amplification conditions, and multiple versions of DNA amplification enzymes were optimized to achieve the best experimental results. ResultsThrough statistical analysis, there was no significant difference in the capillary electrophoresis of the 3 types of body fluid samples from the two years (2015 and 2024), demonstrating that the sample preservation method in this study can preserve samples for a relatively long time. The composite amplification system constructed in this study exhibited high specificity for all 3 types of body fluid, with no cross-reactions between the markers of each type of body fluid. The minimum detection thresholds for the 3 types of body fluid reached 0.002 9, 0.001 5, and 0.42 mg/L, respectively. This system also had a high degree of discrimination for mixed samples, especially for semen-saliva mixtures, where each body fluid marker could still be successfully detected when the concentration ratio of semen to saliva was 100:1. Meanwhile, in the two actual cases presented in this article, the application of this composite amplification system performed outstandingly. ConclusionThe composite amplification detection system constructed in this study can achieve the correct screening of saliva, semen, and vaginal secretions, overcoming the problems such as low specificity and sensitivity of marker tests and unbalanced RFU values of each marker in previous studies. The specificity and sensitivity meet the practical work requirements, and the operation is simple. It provides an analytical and identification method for body fluid stains in actual case and is applicable to the identification of the tissue origin of biological evidence at crime scenes involving sexual assault, indecent assault, and other criminal acts. In the future, more types of body fluid markers will be screened to expand the types of body fluids detected by the system, and body fluid-specific cSNP and cInDel genetic markers will be introduced to infer the sources (individuals and types) of mixed and complex stains more accurately.

Objective:To explore the potential categories of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in patients undergoing replantation of severed fingers, and analyze their influencing factors.Methods:From January 2022 to December 2023, convenience sampling was used to select 335 patients who underwent replantation of severed fingers at the Hand and Foot Surgery of Taizhou Hospital of Zhejiang Province as research subjects. The survey was conducted using the General Information Questionnaire, PTSD Checklist-Civilian Version, Event Related Rumination Inventory, Chinese version of the Perceived Social Support Scale, and the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire-Revised, Short Scale for Chinese. Potential profile analysis was used to explore the potential categories of PTSD in patients undergoing replantation of severed fingers, and ordered Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of PTSD categories.Results:A total of 335 questionnaires were distributed, and 328 valid questionnaires were collected, with a valid response rate of 97.91%. Potential profile analysis showed that PTSD of 328 patients undergoing severed finger replantation were divided into three latent categories, including low PTSD-high avoidance type ( n=67, accounting for 20.43%), moderate PTSD-high alertness type ( n=178, accounting for 54.27%), and high PTSD-high alertness type ( n=83, accounting for 25.30%). There were statistically significant differences in the number of severed fingers, incidence of postoperative vascular crisis, rumination, perceived social support, and personality trait scores among patients with different types of severed finger replantation ( P<0.05). Taking low PTSD-high avoidance type as a reference, ordered Logistic regression analysis showed that invasive rumination, purposive rumination, and personality types (introversion, neuroticism, psychoticism) were potential influencing factors for the moderate PTSD-high alertness type ( P<0.05). The number of severed fingers, postoperative vascular crisis, invasive rumination, purposive rumination, perceived social support, and personality type (introversion, neuroticism, psychoticism) were potential influencing factors of high PTSD-high alertness type ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:There is significant population heterogeneity in PTSD among patients undergoing severed finger replantation, which can be divided into "low PTSD-high avoidance type", "moderate PTSD-high alertness type", and "high PTSD-high alertness type". Nursing staff should conduct targeted interventions in the early stage based on factors such as the number of severed fingers, whether vascular crisis occurs after operation, level of rumination, personality type, to prevent and improve the occurrence of PTSD.
