“…Third, tooth formation stage might also be affected by other genetic, ethnic, nutritional, and environmental factors, which were not analyzed in this study. 16 Finally, a longitudinal study may be justified to better understand how endocrine therapy effects craniofacial growth in girls with CPP because the craniofacial pattern in these patients can change. Further longitudinal studies involving large numbers of subjects and evaluating skeletal maturation through cervical skeletal maturity indicators without additional radiation exposure through hand-wrist radiographs are required to evaluate changes in the growth patterns of the craniofacial complex and dental maturity in individuals with CPP and before and after treatment with a GnRH analog.…”

“…The field of forensic odontology involves personal identification of unknown corpses using oral characteristics, including dental treatment marks. It also involves a wide range of tasks such as sex and age estimation using skeletal remains and DNA typing, as well as estimation of time since death [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25] . Most subjects are appraised using cranial bones, including the calvarium.…”

In the field of forensic odontology, not only personal identification using oral conditions, including dental treatment marks and DNA typing, but also species identification, age or sex estimation using cranial or partial bones, and time after death may also be applicable as estimation methods. Among these many tasks, one of the most difficult is species identification of fragmented calvarium. This is because the calvarium has poor morphological features, except that it is a flat bone, and few reports have described how to differentiate it. In this study, a simple identification method for turtle shell (carapace and plastron) whose morphological characteristics closely resembled those of the calvarium was applied. As a result, in an enlarged image obtained using a stereoscopic microscope, the characteristics of each suture pattern could be confirmed. In the decalcified and non-decalcified bone specimens, the difference in the inner/outer laminar structure and the specific structural difference of the cancellous bone-equivalent part were confirmed. Furthermore, most of the features could be obtained in the destructive inspection when it was examined using micro CT imaging to determine whether discrimination by nondestructive inspection was possible or not. No significant difference in ingredients was found using the Electron Probe X-ray Micro Analyzer. The calvarium was more calcified than the carapace but less calcified than the plastron. From these results, we suggest that micro CT imaging is effective for discriminating between the calvarium and turtle shell in a short time.

“…Currently, age estimation of cadavers is conducted using measurements of bones including the cranial bone or long bones, 7 – 10 or examination of the teeth. 11 , 12 However, these methods are relatively subjective, and require extensive experience and knowledge. The age estimation method that can be easily, rapidly, objectively, and inexpensively performed is not widely known in the field of forensic science.…”

Relationship between serum prostate-specific antigen and age in cadavers

Objectives: An increase in number of unidentified cadavers is a growing problem. To identify these cadavers, a simple objective method is required to estimate cadaveric age. We examined the correlations between postmortem serum prostate-specific antigen levels and cadaveric age to determine whether serum prostate-specific antigen levels can be used in age estimation of unidentified cadavers. Methods: Total serum prostate-specific antigen was measured in 140 male autopsy cases aged from 0 to 94 years. Results: The serum prostate-specific antigen levels of cadavers correlated with age at death to the same degree as with the age of living individuals (r = 0.393, P < 0.01). Prostate-specific antigen levels also correlated with prostate weight, but not with psoas muscle index and body mass index. Cause of death did not influence postmortem serum prostate-specific antigen levels. Conclusion: Age estimation based on prostate-specific antigen provides a simple, objective, and rapid method to determine age at death estimation of cadavers, and is expected to greatly contribute to the identification of cadavers.
