Department of Justice National Institute of Justice Sourcebook in Forensic Serology, Immunology, and Biochemistry Unit M:Banslations of Selected Contributions to the Original Literature of Medicolegal Examinations of Blood and Body Fluids - a publication of the National Institute of Justice About the National Institute of Justice The National lnstitute of Justice is a research branch of the U.S. Department of Justice. The Institute's mission is to develop knowledge about crime. its causes and control. Priority is given to policy-relevant research that can yield approaches and information State and local agencies can use in preventing and reducing crime. Established in 1979 by the Justice System Improvement Act. NIJ builds upon the foundation laid by the former National lnstitute of Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice. the first major Federal research program on crime and justice. Carrying out the mandate assigned by Congress. the National lnstitute of Justice: Sponsors research and development to improve and strengthen the criminal justice system and related civil justice aspects, with a balanced program of basic and applied research. Evaluates the effectiveness of federally funded justice improvement programs and identifies programs that promise to be successful if continued or repeated. Tests and demonstrates new and improved approaches to strengthen the justice system, and recommends actions that can be taken by Federal. State. and local governments and private organbations and individuals to achieve this goal. Disseminates information from research. demonstrations, evaluations. and special prograrris to Federal. State. and local governments: and serves as an international clearinghouse of justice information. Trains criminal justice practitioners in research and evaluation findings. and assists the research commun- ity through fellowships and special seminars. Authorit) for administering the lnstitute and awarding grants. contracts. and cooperative agreements is \ested in the NlJ Director. An Advisory Board. appointed by the President. assists the Director by recom- mend~ngpolicies and priorities and advising on peer review procedures. Reports of NIJ-sponsored studies are reviewed hy lnstitute officials and staff. The views of outside experts knowledgeable in the report's subject area are also obtained.

Unit IX contains 50 translated papers arranged in four sections. Section I, on Identification of Blood, consists of 16 papers beginning with the early work of Orfila, using chemical means to identify blood, and differentiating rust, blood stains and stains from lemon juice on iron in resolving the medical-legal matter of wounds. The microscope was found useful by Mandl, Robin and Salmon identifying the formed elements, red cells with and without a nucleus (human and certain species of animal blood) and differentiating menstrual blood from blood drawn from a vessel by noting the mixture of blood cells with epithelial cells and leukocytes. In 1853, Teichman described hemin crystals, a crystalline chloride of heme, which he obtained from human blood and blood of the dog, rabbit, steer and other animals. Hoppe's 1862 paper gives the early report on the behavior of hemoglobin in the spectrum of sunlight. In 1912, Takayama reported and expanded on the medicolegal applications of hemochromogen crystals; Donogany described the production of hemochromogen crystals in 1893. In 1862, van Deen described the guaiacum test for detection of blood which was replaced with the more sensitive benzidine

  • Ask a Master Gardener
    ASK A MASTER GARDENER COLORFUL WINTER STEMS By Trish Grenfell, Placer County Master Gardener Q Each winter my bloodtwig dogwood has produced a spectacular show with its bright red stems, but this year the branches are a dull grey. What happened? Can you suggest another shrub/small tree with bright winter stems to replace it? A If your bloodtwig dogwood Cornus sanguinea is healthy, there is a simple method to restore its glory next winter: prune it! Late winter or early spring (February-March), before the leaves begin to appear on the stems, is the best time to prune. This allows the maximum time to enjoy the colorful stems, while encouraging vigorous new shoots and foliage for the coming season. For dogwoods with intense bark colors, the branches you want to remove are those older than three years old. Those that need pruning are identified by their lack of desired color. Usually this does not include all the stems, but if you have never pruned, it may mean they all must be pruned this spring. Cut as close as possible to the base (crown) of the plant without cutting that base. If you would like to add additional dogwoods to brighten your winter garden, consider adding a redtwig dogwood - Cornus sericea sometimes called C. stolonifera (red stems), yellowtwig dogwood – C. Flaviramea (yellow-green stems), or Tatarian dogwood – C. alba (blood red stems). Follow the same pruning rules for continued winter color as described for the bloodtwig dogwood. Many willows also provide brilliant winter interest with their colorful, curving bare branches.

  • Specialty Ferritin
    Specialty Ferritin Analyte Information 1 2011-04-04 Ferritin Introduction Ferritin is an intracellular iron-binding protein that stores iron and releases it in a controlled fashion. The protein is produced by almost all living organisms, including bacteria and algae. In humans, it acts as a buffer against iron deficiency and iron overload1. Most of the iron stored in the body is bound to ferritin. Ferritin is found in almost all tissues of the body, but especially in hepatocytes in the liver, reticuloendothelial cells in the spleen, skeletal tissue, muscles and bone marrow. The amount of ferritin in the blood correlates well with total iron content in the body. Ferritin (Fig.1) has a molecular weight of 450 kDa. Fig.1: Ferritin1 2 2011-04-04 Structure Ferritin consists of an appoferritin protein shell surrounding a cavity in which relatively large amounts of iron can be stored. The central core holds up to 4500 iron ions in the form of ferric hydroxyphosphate. The appoferritin shell is composed of 24 subunits, which are either light (L) or heavy (H) ferritin chains. The relative proportion of light and heavy chains differs from tissue to tissue. L-rich ferritin is found in the spleen, liver and placenta. H- rich ferritin is found in the heart and in red blood cells. Physiological Function Ferritin is the primary protein responsible for iron storage. In the physiology of iron metabolism, ferritin plays the important role of maintaining iron in a soluble, nontoxic and biologically useful form. It isolates and stores vast quantities of iron and acts as a buffer against normal physiological variation in the iron requirements of tissues2.
