ObjectiveBy observing the contrast 36 v,110 v,220 v voltage of before and after the death of three sets of electrical injury of rabbit skin organization HE staining,immunohistochemical study HSP70 and HIF-1 forensic pathology change,studies three groups of different voltage,lifetime and after,and after the death of the relationship between different time shock and current plaque,discuss current plaque formation,mechanism and the value of the current spot index,exploration and HSP70 HIF-1 diagnostic value in current skin damage,provide a reference for electrical skin damage identification of forensic pathology.Methods35 rabbits were selected and randomly divided into 2 groups of 36 V,110V and 220 V shock groups before and after death and the normal control group,a total of 7 groups with 5 rabbits in each group.Living electric shock group: The rabbits were anesthetized with 10% chloral hydrate 2ml/kg and depilated with depilatory agent.The rabbit skin was subjected to pre-natal electric shocks(contact time: 1s,contact strength: slightly indentated skin,contact surface: maximum contact area at the end of the electrode is 0.6cm x 0.1cm)with self-made voltage-regulating shock device at 36 V,110V and 220 V respectively.The ear vein air embolism site was taken immediately after the experiment was completed.After death of the experimental animals,the contact skin was taken and sliced according to the routine pathological procedure..After death shock group: The rabbits were anesthetized with 10% chloral hydrate 2ml/kg and depilated with depilatory agent.The experimental animals were killed by auricular vein air embolism.Each limb of the experimental animals was divided into three regions,totally 12 regions.The rabbits were subdivided into three regions according to the voltage of 36 V,110V and 220 V.The rabbits were subdivided into five minutes,15 minutes,30 minutes,1h,2h,3h,4h,6h,7h,8h and 9h by self-made voltage regulating device.Electric shock(contact time: 1s,contact strength: slightly indentated skin,contact surface: maximum contact area at the end of the electrode is 0.6cm x 0.1cm).Skin samples were prepared according to routine pathological slicing procedure.Normal control group: The rabbits were anesthetized with 10% chloral hydrate 2ml/kg and depilated with depilatory agent.The experimental animals were killed by auricular vein air embolism.The skin of the limbs was taken immediately after death,5 minutes,15 minutes,30 minutes,1 hour,2 hours,3 hours,4 hours,5 hours,6 hours,7 hours,8 hours and 9 hours after photography and fixation,and the sections were prepared according to the routine pathological procedure.The gross morphology of the skin of each group was observed,and the sections of the above groups were stained with HE and then sealed for microscopic comparison of pathological changes.Wax blocks in the pre-life shock group,post-death shock group and the normal control group were selected.After biopsy,hif-1 and HSP70 immunohistochemical staining were used to prepare pathological sections for microscopic examination,and the immunohistochemical results were determined and statistically analyzed to explore the identification value of hif-1 and HSP70 in the current spot injury.Results1.No changes were observed in the skin histology of 36 V electric shock before and after death;The changes of current spots were observed in 110 V and 220 V electric shocks at different times before and after death,and there was no difference in the shapes of current spots formed by the electric shocks before and after death,but the current spots formed by 220 V electric shocks on the skin were more obvious than that by 110 V electric shocks.2.Positive expression of HIF-1 was found in the living control group and the 36 V,110V and 220 V shock groups,and the intensity increased with the increase of shock voltage.High expression of HIF-1 was observed in subcutaneous fibroblasts stimulated by 36 V,110V,and 220 V currents,while low expression was observed in subcutaneous fibroblasts in the control group.The three groups were compared with the control group,and only the 220 V group showed statistically significant difference(P=0.003<0.01),that is,HIF-1 immunohistochemical staining showed statistically significant difference in the 220 V group.The comparison between the three groups was statistically significant(P=0.049<0.05),indicating that there was a statistical difference between the three groups with HIF-1 immunohistochemical staining.3.Positive expression of HSP70 was found in the living control group and the 36 V,110V and 220 V shock groups,and the intensity increased with the increase of shock voltage.Hyperexpression of HSP70 in subcutaneous fibroblasts was stimulated by 110 V and 220 V electric currents before death.Low expression of HSP70 in subcutaneous fibroblasts of 36 V and control group.There was no statistical difference between the three shock groups and the control group,that is,there was no statistical difference between the three shock groups and the control group with HSP70 immunohistochemical staining.The comparison between the three groups showed significant statistical significance(P=0.004 < 0.01),indicating that there was a significant statistical difference in the immunohistochemical staining of HSP70 between the three groups.4,36 v,110v

0.05).There were statistically significant differences between the 220 V group before and after death at 15 min,30min,1h,2h,3h and 5h(P < 0.05).ConclusionThere is a correlation between current spot and voltage intensity,and the higher the voltage,the more obvious the current spot is.The reason for the formation of electric current spot is the electric burn caused by the conversion of electric energy into heat energy,and the critical value of heat energy required for the formation of electric current spot exists.The electric current spot is an important basis for identifying electric injury,but it is not a reliable index to distinguish between pre-and post-mortem electric injury.That is to say,the electric current spot is not a necessary condition for identifying electric shock death.The existence of electric injury or even electric shock can be affirmed with electric current spot.No electric spot can exclude the effect of electric shock.HIF-1 and HSP70 can be used to distinguish different voltage shocks before and after birth in certain circumstances.HIF-1 and HSP70 are the diagnostic reference indexes of skin electric injury.
