The relationship between the postmortem interval and the changes of DNA content in rabbit's cornea epithelial and endothelium by the computerized image analysis / 法医学杂志

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To study the relationship between the postmortem interval (PMI) and the changes of DNA content in rabbit's cornea epithelial and endothelium.@*METHODS@#Using the computerized image analysis to measure the DNA content in the cornea epithelial and endothelium of 105 rabbit's at every six hours during 72 hours after death.@*RESULTS@#The degradation rate of DNA in nuclear has an apparent relationship in 72 hours after death of the rabbits.@*CONCLUSION@#The determination of the quantity of DNA in cornea nuclear is a new method to estimate the PMI accurately.
