【摘要】 目的 探讨颅脑损伤(BI)死亡的法医病理学特点,以及继发性脑干损伤、并发症的发生与死亡之间的因果关系。方法 从性别、年龄、致伤方式、损伤类型、生存时间、死亡原因等方面,对四川大学华西法医学鉴定中心1998年1月-2008年12月127例BI死亡尸检案例进行回顾性统计研究分析。结果 127例法医病理学检案中,原发性BI死亡51例(402%),继发性脑干损伤死亡61例(480%),并发症死亡15例(118%),其中伤后12 h内死亡者直接死因均为严重原发性脑损伤,存活12 h~1周者直接死因以继发性脑干损伤居多,生存时间超过1周者约半数死于并发症。结论 在BI案例的死亡原因确定时,应在全面系统的病理学检验基础上,结合案情及临床资料进行综合分析。【Abstract】 Objective To explore the characteristics of forensic pathology in traumatic brain injury and the relationships between secondary brainstem damage, complications and the causes of death. Methods 127 cases were reviewed from gender, age, manner of injury, survival time and the direct causes of death from January 1998 to December 2008. Results Of the 127 cases, the key direct cause of death was secondary brainstem damage, followed by severe primarily brain injury and complications. For those who died within 12 hours after injury, the direct cause was severe primarily brain injury; for those who survived between 12 hours to one week, secondary brainstem damage was in the majority of the causes and for those who survive more than one week time, complication was an important cause. Conclusion In the cases of traumatic brain injury, we should take comprehensive and systematic examination of forensic pathology, and refer to clinical data at the same time to determine the direct cause of death.

Methods Four death cases after cardiac valve replacement between January 2008 and February 2010 were comprehensively analyzed from various aspects of surgery style, preoperational heart condition, peri-operational observations, results of forensic pathological tests, time of death, and causes of death. Results All cases were rheumatic heart disease and the preoperational heart function was poor. Of the four cases, three had mitral valve replacement (MVR), three had aortic valve replacement (AVR) and two had tricuspid valvuloplasty. Of the three MVR cases, cutting on the left atrium paralleling the interatrial groove was performed in one case, cutting through right atrium and interauricular septum was performed in one case, and cutting left atrium and right atrium through interauricular septum was performed in another case. For all the three AVR cases, cutting on the root of aorta with the shape of diagonal or ’S’ was carried out. One patient died during operation, one died thirty minutes after operation, one died two days after operation and one died eight days after operation. Among them, one died of myocarditis, one died of hemorrhage in the conducting system and two died of hemorrhagic shock. Besides, one patient had potential bacterial infection before surgery. Conclusion For patients who died after cardiac valve replacement, we should acquaintance ourselves with the preoperational heart condition, surgery style, surgical approach and the methods of stitch to make a comprehensive analysis with forensic pathology examination.
Objective To analyze death causes and relevant factors in victims of Wenchuan earthquake.Methods Medical records of 27 dead patients admitted to W est China Hospital during the first 30 days after Wenchuan earthquake were analyzed retrospectively.Patient census data,diagnoses,dispositions,and prognoses were collected. Results A total of 2702 patients with earthquake related injuries were admitted to West China Hospital.The overall mortality rate was 1%(27/2702 patients).The death were associated with age≥70.severe cerebral injuries and severe underlying illness.Mortality rate was highest in aged patients with comorbidities.Conclusions Insufficient pre-hospital treatment and inappropriate transfer procedure may contribute to the early death.Complicated with comorbidities is the leading cause of late death.Earlier involvement of intensivist in medical intervention in such a disaster is demanded.

ObjectiveTo explore the common causes and the clinical pathological characteristics of infant death which occurred after vaccination. MethodsThe study retrospectively analyzed the data of 13 cases of infant death occurring after vaccination from January 2009 to September 2014 in West China Medico-legal Expertise Center. ResultsAmong the 13 cases of infant death, 12 were dead from lethal respiratory system and cardiovascular system diseases, 1 from mechanic asphyxia caused by milk intake. All cases were coupling disease death and had no direct correlation with vaccination. ConclusionSystematic and comprehensive forensic pathological examination is helpful to clarify the cause of death, reveal the relationship between vaccination and the cause of death, and contribute to proper processing of such incidents.
ObjectiveTo explore the corresponding intervention measures to reduce maternal mortality rate by analyzing the causes and problems of maternal deaths. MethodsA retrospective analysis was conducted to analyze all cases of maternal mortality from January 2005 to June 2013 in West China Second University Hospital. ResultsAmong the 14 cases of maternal deaths, the main diseases of the patients were pregnancy complicated with heart disease, hypertensive disorders, obstetric hemorrhage, amniotic fluid embolism and ectopic pregnancy. Four cases got prescriptive prenatal care during pregnancy, accounting for 28.6% (4/14), while 10 cases did not, accounting for 71.4% (10/14). Six patients died in prenatal period which accounted for 42.9% (6/14), while 8 died in postnatal period which accounted for 57.1% (6/14) and 5 died within 24 hours which accounted for 62.5% (5/8). Seven underwent cesarean section and 6 fetuses survived. Two went through trial of labor and no fetus survived. There was no ordered postmortem. ConclusionIntensifying education of prenatal care during pregnancy, improving quality of obstetrical service and diathesis of healthcare professionals, strengthening the supervision of high-risk pregnancy and timely choosing the time and manner of delivery are the main measures to decrease the maternal mortality.
