Allele and genotype frequencies for 15 short tandem repeat (STR) polymorphisms--D3S1358, TH01, D21S11, D18S51, Penta E, D5S818, D13S317, D7S820, D16S539, CSF1PO, Penta D, vWA, D8S1179, TPOX and FGA--in a Japanese population were estimated. No deviations of the observed allele frequency from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium expectations were found for any of the systems studied. Between 2 new pentanucleotide STR loci, Penta E and Penta D, for which there is only limited data regarding the allelic distribution in Japanese, the Penta E locus was found to be highly polymorphic and exhibited a tri- or tetra-modal distribution pattern having allelic peaks with 5, 11, 15 and 20 repeats. The distribution was significantly different from that of the other ethnic groups. Statistical parameters of forensic importance, the power of discrimination (PD), observed and expected heterozygosity values (H), polymorphism information content (PIC), power of discrimination (PD), matching probability (pM), power of exclusion (PE), and typical paternity index (PI), were calculated for the loci. These parameters indicated the usefulness of the loci in forensic personal identification and paternity testing among Japanese. The systems Penta E, FGA, D18S51 and D8S1179 were the most informative. This method was successfully applied to forensic personal identification and paternity testing among Japanese, thereby confirming its efficacy for forensic practice.

In this study, sex determination using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) on tooth material was evaluated from the viewpoint of forensic medicine. The sensitivity of PCR for detection of the Y chromosome-specific alphoid repeat sequence and the X chromosome-specific alphoid repeat sequence was 0.5 pg of genomic DNA. Sex could be determined by PCR of DNA extracted from the pulp of 16 freshly extracted permanent teeth and dentine including the surface of the pulp cavity of 6 freshly extracted milk teeth. Sex could be determined using the pulp in all 20 teeth (10 male and 10 female) preserved at room temperature for 22 years. For the pulp of teeth stored in sea water, the sex could be determined in all 8 teeth immersed for 1 week and in 5 of 6 teeth immersed for 4 weeks. In the remaining 1 tooth, in which sex determination based on the pulp failed, the sex could be determined correctly when DNA extracted from the tooth hard tissue was examined. For teeth stored in soil, the sex could be determined accurately in all 8 teeth buried for 1 week, 7 of 8 teeth buried for 4 weeks, and in all 6 teeth buried for 8 weeks. When teeth were heated for 30 min, sex determination from the pulp was possible in all teeth heated to 100, 150, and 200 degrees C, and even in some teeth heated to 250 degrees C. When this method was applied to actual forensic cases, the sex of a mummified body estimated to have been discovered half a year to 1 year after death could be determined readily by examination of the dental pulp. In the skeletons of 2 bodies placed under water for approximately 1 year and approximately 11 years and 7 months, pulp tissues had been dissolved and lost, but sex determination was possible using DNA extracted from hard dental tissues. These results indicate that this method is useful in forensic practices for sex determination based on teeth samples.

We developed a method for human identification of forensic biological materials by PCR-based detection of a human-specific sequence in exon 3 of the myoglobin gene. This human-specific DNA sequence was deduced from differences in the amino acid sequences of myoglobins between humans and other animal species. The new method enabled amplification of the target DNA fragment from 30 samples of human DNA, and the amplified sequences were identical with that already reported. Using this method, we were able to distinguish human samples from those of 21 kinds of animals: the crab-eating monkey, horse, cow, sheep, goat, pig, wild boar, dog, raccoon dog, cat, rabbit, guinea pig, hamster, rat, mouse, whale, chicken, pigeon, turtle, frog, and tuna. However, we were unable to distinguish between human and gorilla samples. This method enabled us to detect the target sequence from 25 pg of human DNA, and the target DNA fragment from blood stored at 37 degrees C for 6 months, and from bloodstains heated at 150 degrees C for 4 h or stored at room temperature for 26 years. Herein we also report a practical application of the method for human identification of a bone fragment.</P>

We have improved on conventional methods for HLA-DRB1 genotyping and devised a new method that is simple, cost-effective, and adequately applicable to routine forensic practice. This method consists of group-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) of the exon 2 region of the HLA-DRB1 gene and simultaneous detection of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at multiple sites using multiplex primer extension reactions. With this method, we successfully detected HLA-DRB1 genotypes from the following materials: the peripheral blood of 142 donors, 6 aged saliva stains of known DRB1 genotype stored for 5-10 years at room temperature, 10 aged bloodstains of unknown DRB1 genotype stored for 29 years at room temperature, and minimal bloodstains and saliva stains from 3 donors of known DRB1 genotypes. Furthermore, we were able to type DRB1 alleles of the minor component in mixed samples at a proportion of 1/1,000 or 1/10,000. In a criminal case, DRB1 alleles detected from mixed bloodstains on a sword found at the scene enabled us to explain the case. This method is expected to be useful for forensic medicine.

The annual number of suicides in Japan increased sharply in 1998, and since that time it has consistently exceeded 30,000 per year. In this study, we analyze a database of personal and background characteristics of 824 cases (605 men, 219 women) who completed suicide in Okayama Prefecture in 2002 and 2003. The data were obtained with cooperation from the police. Using the methodologies in a previous European study as a model, we classified the suicide methods into 8 categories. To examine the generational and regional differences in the choice of methods, we stratified the sample into 4 age groups (<-24, 2544, 4564, and >-65) and 2 regional groups (Okayama/Kurashiki vs. other areas). Our results on gender differences in 7 of the suicide methods were mostly similar to the European data. However, our data showed a remarkably higher proportionate male-to-female mortality ratio for poisoning by other substances (ICD-10, X65-X69 codes) (1.83, 1.15-2.92). In terms of generational differences in the choice of suicide methods, the Mantel-Haenszel test of homogeneity was significant for most of the categories in our study, suggesting an impact of age on how people commit suicide. There were no remarkable regional differences in our sample. An epidemic curve for suicides via carbon monoxide poisoning using charcoal briquets revealed a trend of time clustering not observed in the other 6 means. The database constructed and used in this study contains richer information than conventional death statistics and is expected to provide helpful knowledge and insights for future epidemiological studies.

We encountered a rare case of suffocation by an advertising balloon filled with pure helium gas. Suffocation caused by inhalation of atmosphere lacking in oxygen is not exceptional, but reports of death by suffocation due to a pure inert gas such as helium are very rare. In this case, the balloon mooring on the ground was enclosed, warning signs were displayed, and it was clear that entering the balloon filled with an atmosphere lacking in oxygen was extremely dangerous and should not be done; the accident did, however, occur. Accidents of this kind may occur in the future unless appropriate education and countermeasures are taken.

It is expected that sudden unexpected natural death whose cause and manner are unclear at first may occur more frequently following the increase of the number of death from ischemic heart disease in the future.

We describe these procedures using these two autopsy cases of death from hypothermia. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=IshikawaTakaki en-aut-sei=Ishikawa en-aut-mei=Takaki kn-aut-name=石川隆紀 kn-aut-sei=石川 kn-aut-mei=隆紀 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=MiyaishiSatoru en-aut-sei=Miyaishi en-aut-mei=Satoru kn-aut-name=宮石智 kn-aut-sei=宮石 kn-aut-mei=智 aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=DoiYusuke en-aut-sei=Doi en-aut-mei=Yusuke kn-aut-name=土井裕輔 kn-aut-sei=土井 kn-aut-mei=裕輔 aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=TakataTomoyo en-aut-sei=Takata en-aut-mei=Tomoyo kn-aut-name=高田智世 kn-aut-sei=高田 kn-aut-mei=智世 aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=ImabayashiKiyomi en-aut-sei=Imabayashi en-aut-mei=Kiyomi kn-aut-name=今林貴代美 kn-aut-sei=今林 kn-aut-mei=貴代美 aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=InagakiSachiyo en-aut-sei=Inagaki en-aut-mei=Sachiyo kn-aut-name=稲垣幸代 kn-aut-sei=稲垣 kn-aut-mei=幸代 aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= en-aut-name=YoshitomeKei en-aut-sei=Yoshitome en-aut-mei=Kei kn-aut-name=吉留敬 kn-aut-sei=吉留 kn-aut-mei=敬 aut-affil-num=7 ORCID= en-aut-name=YamamotoYuji en-aut-sei=Yamamoto en-aut-mei=Yuji kn-aut-name=山本雄二 kn-aut-sei=山本 kn-aut-mei=雄二 aut-affil-num=8 ORCID= en-aut-name=IshizuHideo en-aut-sei=Ishizu en-aut-mei=Hideo kn-aut-name=石津日出雄 kn-aut-sei=石津 kn-aut-mei=日出雄 aut-affil-num=9 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Legal Medicine Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine and Dentistry affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Legal Medicine Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine and Dentistry affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Legal Medicine Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine and Dentistry affil-num=4 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Legal Medicine Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine and Dentistry affil-num=5 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Legal Medicine Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine and Dentistry affil-num=6 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Legal Medicine Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine and Dentistry affil-num=7 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Legal Medicine Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine and Dentistry affil-num=8 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Legal Medicine Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine and Dentistry affil-num=9 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Legal Medicine Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine and Dentistry en-keyword=凍死 kn-keyword=凍死 en-keyword=下垂体 kn-keyword=下垂体 en-keyword=Wischnewsky 斑 kn-keyword=Wischnewsky 斑 END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=115 cd-vols= no-issue=1 article-no= start-page=33 end-page=37 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2005 dt-pub=20050530 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title=An autopsy case of death after trauma in an elderly subject with pulmonary squamous cell carcinoma From the viewpoint of forensic medicine in an aging society kn-title=外傷後死亡した肺扁平上皮癌を有する高齢者の1部検例-高齢化時代を迎えつつある法医学の立場から- en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=In this study, we experienced a case of an elderly man with clinically undiagnosed squamous cell carcinoma of the lung, who died 8 days after a trauma. This case was autopsied because of a question over the causal association between the trauma and death. From the autopsy findings, it was judged that respiratory and metabolic abnormalities due to lung cancer were exacerbated by trauma, and that medically the cause of death should be assessed as death by disease. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=IshikawaTakaki en-aut-sei=Ishikawa en-aut-mei=Takaki kn-aut-name=石川隆紀 kn-aut-sei=石川 kn-aut-mei=隆紀 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=FurusatoMasakuni en-aut-sei=Furusato en-aut-mei=Masakuni kn-aut-name=古里征国 kn-aut-sei=古里 kn-aut-mei=征国 aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=YoshitomeKei en-aut-sei=Yoshitome en-aut-mei=Kei kn-aut-name=吉留敬 kn-aut-sei=吉留 kn-aut-mei=敬 aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=MiyaishiSatoru en-aut-sei=Miyaishi en-aut-mei=Satoru kn-aut-name=宮石智 kn-aut-sei=宮石 kn-aut-mei=智 aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=IshizuHideo en-aut-sei=Ishizu en-aut-mei=Hideo kn-aut-name=石津日出雄 kn-aut-sei=石津 kn-aut-mei=日出雄 aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学大学院医歯学総合研究科法医学分野 affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=杏林大学医学部病理学教室 affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学大学院医歯学総合研究科法医学分野 affil-num=4 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学大学院医歯学総合研究科法医学分野 affil-num=5 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学大学院医歯学総合研究科法医学分野 en-keyword=高齢化 kn-keyword=高齢化 en-keyword=肺癌 kn-keyword=肺癌 en-keyword=法医学 kn-keyword=法医学 END
