Description

Method for identifying cadaver cause of death in water based on bacterial community
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of forensic medicine identification. And more particularly, to a method for identifying cadaveric causes of death in water based on bacterial communities.
Background
In the practice of forensic identification, the identification of causes of death of cadavers in water is often involved. The method is influenced by the factors of large quantity of water areas, complex water area environment, corpse decay and the like in China, and the cause of death identification of corpses in water is always a difficult problem in forensic science identification. Although diatom inspection is generally accepted as an important auxiliary means for identifying causes of death of corpses in water, inspection materials are easily polluted by the processes of corpse inspection, material taking and inspection, and diatom inspection from the lungs of corpses in water alone is not enough for identifying drowning, and diatom inspection from multiple organs without inspection cannot be eliminated, so that the role of diatom inspection is limited to a certain extent. At present, experts and scholars at home and abroad propose other methods for assisting in identifying the cause of death of the corpses in water, such as chlorophyll (A), histochemistry, blood biochemistry and other detection technologies, but the methods all have certain limitations. Therefore, the detection method which has high sensitivity and high detection rate and can be widely applied to the detection of the cause of death of the corpse in water is provided, and the method has important significance for the current forensic identification practice.
Compared with the traditional diatom morphological examination method, the method for identifying the cause of death of the corpses in water by analyzing microorganisms has the following advantages: the method can be used for deducing whether the cause of death is really drowning; the detection range is wide, and the method can be applied to classification and identification of algae, and can also be used for examination of small and micro plankton and plankton which cannot be subjected to morphological discrimination by using a microscope; and thirdly, the sensitivity is high, and the required sample size is obviously smaller than that of the traditional diatom detection method. Various variant sequences are separated from DNA by using the conserved sequences of water body bacteria, community characteristics can be revealed while qualitative, and a plankton community characteristic change monitoring system in different water areas and the same water area at different time is further established. The diagnosis method is combined with the traditional diatom test method, and has important practical value for drowning identification.
Chinese patent CN 106119384A discloses an aeromonas hydrophila nucleic acid analysis method and application thereof in forensic detection. The method comprises the steps of extracting aeromonas hydrophila nucleic acid from visceral organs of the corpses in water, carrying out PCR amplification on the extracted aeromonas hydrophila nucleic acid, comparing the amplified nucleic acid with the aeromonas hydrophila nucleic acid in a water sample, and analyzing and judging whether the corpses in water are drowned. However, the method may be influenced by a sample, and the aeromonas hydrophila nucleic acid cannot be detected, so that the cause of death in water cannot be identified, and therefore, the method has certain limitations.

the drowned corpse and the non-drowned corpse are characterized in that the drowned person inhales and swallows the water body in the drowned place in the process from the beginning of drowning to death, so the microbial community structure of the drowned corpse sample in the water is consistent with the microbial community structure of the water body in the drowned place, and the specific microbe in the drowned water body can be detected in the corpse sample instead of the microbe in the drowned corpse sample in the water.
The method comprises the following steps of sequencing bacteria in the corpse tissue and the water body sample in water, analyzing and comparing bacterial communities and specific bacteria in the corpse tissue and the water body sample, and deducing whether the corpse in water is drowned or not according to the bacterial communities and the specific bacteria in the corpse tissue and the water body sample:
s1, sampling a water body and corpse tissues at a corpse discovery point;
s2, enriching the bacteria in the water sample obtained in the step S1, and respectively extracting the total DNA of the bacteria and the cadaver tissues in the water sample;
s3, designing a primer according to a bacteria conserved region sequence, connecting a sequencing joint, respectively carrying out PCR amplification by taking the extracted total DNA as a template, purifying, quantifying and homogenizing the product to form a sequencing library, and sequencing the qualified library by quality inspection;
and S4, analyzing the sequencing result, and identifying whether the water corpse is drowned or not by comparing whether the bacterial community in the water sample and the water corpse tissue is convergent or not and whether the water corpse tissue contains common specific bacteria or not.
Preferably, the water sampling amount in step S1 is 1-2L.
Preferably, the cadaver tissue taken in step S1 is a lung tissue mass of a cadaver in water.
More preferably, the removed lung tissue mass is quickly placed into a pre-cooled cryopreservation tube and placed in liquid nitrogen for quick freezing for 1h, and then transferred to a refrigerator at-80 ℃ for storage.
Preferably, in the step S2, the water body sample bacteria are enriched by the suction filtration device until the surface of the filter membrane has a visible covering, and the filter membrane is transferred to a refrigerator at the temperature of minus 80 ℃ for storage.
More preferably, the filter used for suction filtration has a pore size of 0.22. mu.m.
Preferably, the bacterial conserved region sequence of step S3 is 16S rDNA. 16S rDNA is a DNA sequence coding for prokaryotic ribosome small subunit rRNA (16S rRNA), and currently, bacterial diversity research is mainly carried out on a conserved region of a nucleic acid sequence coding for 16S rRNA.
Preferably, the analysis in step S4 is a flora histogram, Bray Curtis analysis and LEfSe analysis of the sequencing results.
The invention has the following beneficial effects:
the invention provides a method for identifying whether a corpse in water is drowned or not based on a bacterial community, which has high sensitivity and small required tissue sample amount and can avoid the condition that PCR (polymerase chain reaction) can not be carried out on single bacterial nucleic acid. The method provided by the invention can be used for forensic detection and has important practical value for drowning identification.
