Abstract
Objective: To observe the chemical groups changing in rat kidney with regard to fatal hyperthermia by Fourier transform infrared microspectroscopy (FTIR-MSP) and to provide a new method to diagnose fatal hyperthermia. Methods: Rats were sacrificed by hyperthermia, brainstem injury, massive hemorrhage and asphyxiation and divided into groups. The renal samples were dissected immediately after death. The data of infrared spectroscopy in glomerulus were measured by FTIR-MSP. Results: The absorbances of 3 290, 3 070, 2 850, 1540 and 1396 cm-1 significantly increased (P<0.05), and the ratios of A1650/A3290 and A1650/A1540 significantly decreased (P<0.05) in group of hyperthermia. Conclusion: FTIR-MSP can analyze the changes of chemical groups of kidney as an auxiliary diagnosis for discriminating hyperthermia with other causes of death.
