1Department of Forensic Medicine, Nanhua University, Hengyang 421001, China.
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.
