Description

Method for preliminarily inferring cause of death and method for detecting endogenous metabolites
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of forensic medicine, and particularly relates to a non-diagnosis purpose method for preliminarily deducing cause of death based on endogenous metabolites and a method for detecting the endogenous metabolites.
Background
Chlorpromazine is a traditional typical antipsychotic, and is mainly used for treating refractory schizophrenia and major depression clinically; it has also been found that chlorpromazine inhibits the growth of certain coronaviruses (RNA viruses), cryptococcus (fungi), escherichia coli and Salmonella (bacteria) to some extent. However, annual report of the U.S. poison control center in 2018 shows that lethal cases of sedative-hypnotic/antipsychotic intoxication are the first. As a therapeutic drug with strong central sedation and easily available prescription, the toxic or toxic lethal blood concentration threshold has a large overlapping area, and besides the detection method and the accuracy, the health condition of the victim is another important reason among influencing factors. Also, unlike poisoning by corrosive toxins (organophosphorous pesticides, nitrites), therapeutic drugs lack characteristic morphological lesions and specific metabolites. Therefore, in the case of lacking other characteristic morphological characteristics, the death cause of the death case is not easy to be accurately judged by the forensic, and the identification process is more complicated when various drugs are poisoned.
Disclosure of Invention
Aiming at the technical problem that the death cause is difficult to be accurately judged for the case lacking other characteristic morphological characteristics in the prior art, the invention provides a method for preliminarily deducing the death cause based on endogenous metabolites with a non-diagnosis purpose. The method can preliminarily judge the death cause of death cases, and is suitable for preliminarily distinguishing the death causes of chlorpromazine, perphenazine, olanzapine and clozapine overdue from death causes of non-antipsychotic drug poisoning in the forensic field. The invention also provides a method for detecting endogenous metabolites, which can be used for detecting the metabolites produced after chlorpromazine, perphenazine, olanzapine and clozapine are taken in a blood sample.
In order to achieve the purpose of the invention, the embodiment of the invention adopts the following technical scheme:
in a first aspect, the embodiments of the present invention provide a method for preliminarily inferring cause of death based on endogenous metabolites, including the following steps:
detecting the content of acetyl carnitine, propionyl carnitine and succinic acid in blood samples with different lethal reasons;
constructing a reference standard library of the secondary classification features according to the absolute content;
and detecting the absolute content of acetyl carnitine, propionyl carnitine and succinic acid in the blood sample to be detected, bringing the absolute content into the reference standard library, and performing preliminary inference on the cause of death of the main body of the blood sample.
According to the invention, through researches, the endogenous metabolites of acetyl carnitine, propionyl carnitine and succinic acid are characteristic differences existing in blood in the case of chlorpromazine poisoning death and are also characteristic differences existing in blood in the case of death of other antipsychotic drugs with the same drug effect, such as perphenazine, olanzapine and clozapine, therefore, the method uses the acetyl carnitine, the propionyl carnitine and the succinic acid for predicting the death cause of death of the drugs which are taken independently or taken in a mixed mode, and establishes a prediction model by combining quantitative analysis of the acetyl carnitine, the propionyl carnitine and the succinic acid with mathematical two-classification probability to realize preliminary inference of the death cause of a main body of an unknown blood sample, and the prediction model has stable result and high reliability. When compared with other common causes of death: this approach is applicable to chlorpromazine and other antipsychotics with similar receptor of action and affinity when drowning, asphyxia, hemorrhagic shock, high cervical myelolysis are distinguished: perphenazine, olanzapine, clozapine are distinguished from the above causes of death. This method provides direct and objective laboratory test evidence for the determination of mortality from antipsychotic intoxication in cases where the suspected antipsychotic is overdose and lacks other characteristic morphological features. In addition, in the case of death caused by co-administration of a plurality of medicaments with similar receptor affinity to chlorpromazine, the method also provides direct laboratory basis for explaining that the blood concentration of a single medicament is lower than a threshold value.
Because the result judgment is inaccurate due to human body difference (for example, the health condition causes the abnormality of the metabolites in the blood), the method can only be used for preliminary judgment and auxiliary judgment in the process of judging the death cause of the death case by forensics, the death cause and the health condition of the blood sample body cannot be directly obtained, and the condition that the drug information, the body state and the like are required to be combined in the final judgment is still required.
Preferably, the operation of detecting the content of acetyl carnitine, propionyl carnitine and succinic acid in blood samples with different lethal causes comprises the following steps:

Example 2
This example provides a method for preliminary inference of the cause of death in a sample of mouse deaths based on endogenous metabolites. The specific operation steps are as follows:
2.1 preparation of blood samples
Collecting blood samples of chlorpromazine, perphenazine, olanzapine and clozapine poisoning lethal mice, and preparing a poisoning lethal test solution according to the operation process of 1.1 in example 1;
collecting blood samples of mice which are drowned, suffocated, hemorrhagic shock and lethal to high cervical marrow separation, and preparing a non-poisoning lethal solution to be tested according to the operation process of 1.1 in the embodiment 1;
2.2 testing of blood samples
Respectively detecting the contents of acetyl carnitine, propionyl carnitine and succinic acid in a poisoning and lethal test solution and a non-poisoning and lethal test solution by using an ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry technology, wherein the chromatographic conditions are the same as 1.2.1 in example 1, and the mass spectrometry conditions are the same as 1.2.2 in example 1.
The absolute levels of acetyl-carnitine, propionyl-carnitine, and succinic acid in the blood samples were estimated using calibur software.
2.3 calculation of the probability of two-Classification
Using the "marker analysis" module in the analysis software on Metabioanalyst line, the method calculates the classification probability of the acetylcarnitine, propionyl-carnitine and succinic acid content in the blood samples of mice with different causes of death by the SVM algorithm, and obtains a confusion matrix (as shown in FIG. 7) and ROC curve of the discrimination ability of acetylcarnitine, propionyl-carnitine and succinic acid (as shown in FIG. 8). The abscissa of fig. 7 is the probability that each sample was classified as a different blood sample in the binary scenario, the open circles represent toxic lethal blood samples (CPZ: chlorpromazine; PER: perphenazine; OLA: olanzapine; CLO: clozapine), and the filled circles represent Non-toxic lethal blood samples (i.e., non-toxic fatalities in the figure). The ROC curve shows the predictive power of acetyl-carnitine, propionyl-carnitine and succinic acid on the sample (AUC = 0.977).
As can be seen from fig. 7 and 8, the content of acetyl carnitine, propionyl carnitine and succinic acid in blood has strong ability to distinguish toxic lethality from non-toxic lethality.
2.4 model predictive power analysis based on permutation test statistical methods
In order to prevent the overfitting phenomenon occurring in the modeling process (namely, the situation that the model is only suitable for the samples of the batch and has low prediction capability on other batches of samples) the invention further verifies the prediction capability of the model through replacement test in the research process. The results are shown in FIG. 9. The verification result shows that the prediction results of the acetylcarnitine, the propionyl carnitine and the succinic acid against the intoxication and the lethal of the psychosis medicament are reliable (the accuracy rate is greater than 0.9), the model stability is strong (p is less than 0.05), and the hypothesis that the intoxication lethal group and the non-intoxication lethal group are from the same whole is not established.
2.5 determination of classification of unknown samples
Collecting blood samples of mice died of unknown reasons, and preparing a solution to be tested according to the operation process 1.1 in the example 1; respectively detecting the contents of acetyl carnitine, propionyl carnitine and succinic acid in a poisoning and lethal test solution and a non-poisoning and lethal test solution by using an ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry technology, wherein the chromatographic conditions are the same as 1.2.1 in example 1, and the mass spectrometry conditions are the same as 1.2.2 in example 1. Calibur software was used to estimate the absolute levels of acetyl-carnitine, propionyl-carnitine and succinic acid in blood samples. Using the ROC curve shown in fig. 8, the cause of death of the mouse was preliminarily determined: if the absolute content is in a poisoning and lethal area, preliminarily judging that the death cause of the mouse is poisoning caused by excessive dosage of one or more of chlorpromazine, perphenazine, olanzapine and clozapine; if the absolute content is in a non-toxic lethal area, the cause of death of the mouse is preliminarily judged to be non-toxic death.
Based on the results of the preliminary assessment, the tissues, fluids, etc. of the mice were further examined to determine the specific cause of death.
Example 3
This example provides a method for forensics to preliminarily infer the cause of death in a human death sample based on endogenous metabolites. The specific operation steps are as follows:
3.1 preparation of blood samples
Collecting blood samples of chlorpromazine, perphenazine, olanzapine and clozapine in death cases from poisoning, and preparing a poisoning and death solution to be tested according to the operation process 1.1 in the example 1;
collecting a blood sample which is not lethal to the drug, and preparing a solution to be tested which is not lethal to the drug according to the operation process 1.1 in the example 1;
3.2 detection of blood samples
Respectively detecting the contents of acetyl carnitine, propionyl carnitine and succinic acid in a poisoning and lethal test solution and a non-poisoning and lethal test solution by using an ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry technology, wherein the chromatographic conditions are the same as 1.2.1 in example 1, and the mass spectrometry conditions are the same as 1.2.2 in example 1.
Calibur software was used to estimate the absolute levels of acetyl-carnitine, propionyl-carnitine and succinic acid in blood samples.
3.3 calculation of the probability of two-Classification
Using the "marker analysis" module in the analysis software on Metabioanalyst line, the method calculates the classification probability of the acetylcarnitine, propionyl-carnitine and succinic acid content in the human blood samples of different causes of death by the SVM algorithm, and obtains a confusion matrix chart (as shown in FIG. 10) and a ROC curve (as shown in FIG. 11) of the discrimination ability of acetylcarnitine, propionyl-carnitine and succinic acid. The abscissa of fig. 10 is the probability that each sample falls under the binary scenario into a different blood sample, the open circles representing toxic lethal blood samples (OLA: olanzapine; CLO: clozapine), and the filled circles representing non-toxic lethal blood samples (i.e. Control in the figure). The ROC curve shows that the levels of acetyl-carnitine, propionyl-carnitine and succinic acid in human blood samples are also highly discriminative between toxic and non-toxic lethal (AUC = 0.953).
3.4 determination of sample Classification
The ROC curve of 3.3 was used to verify the causes of death between the blood samples of cases of known toxic causes and the subjects of blood samples of cases of known normal non-drug-taking populations, and the results are shown in Table 4.
