Abstract
Glioblastoma (GBM) is an incurable primary brain tumor with a poor prognosis. Resection, radiation therapy, and temozolomide (TMZ) are insufficient to increase survival, making the treatment limited. Thus, the search for more effective and specific treatments is essential, making plants a promising source for elucidating new anti-glioblastoma compounds. Accordingly, this study investigated the effects of four fractions of hexane and ethyl acetate extract of Annona coriacea Mart., enriched with acetogenins, against GBM cell lines. All four fractions were selectively cytotoxic to GBM cells when compared to TMZ. Moreover, A. coriacea fractions delayed cell migration; reduced cytoplasmic projections, the metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2) activity; and induced morphological changes characteristic of necroptosis, possibly correlated with the increase in receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 and 3 (RIP-1 and RIP-3), apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF), and the non-activation of cleaved caspase 8. The present findings reinforce that fractions of A. coriacea Mart. should be considered for more studies focusing treatment of GBM.

Abstract
In recent years, postmortem biochemistry analysis has gradually been applied to forensic practice, providing objective evidence for health conditions before death, disease pathophysiological processes and forensic diagnosis of postmortem interval and cause of death. It is of great significance to understand the change patterns of postmortem biochemical indicators and their applications in forensic medicine. This article reviews the research progress of postmortem biochemistry and its application in forensic medicine, it summarizes the existing problems of postmortem biochemistry analysis in forensic medicine of China and discusses the application prospect of postmortem biochemistry analysis in forensic medicine. This review is expected to provide references for forensic practitioners.

Abstract
Bath-related deaths occur frequently in Japan, particularly in the elderly population; however, this fact is not sufficiently well known by the public. The advent of a super-aging society will expose general physicians to more cases of fatal and nonfatal bath-related accidents. As many of the victims have one or more lifestyle-related diseases, general physicians will play a more important role in preventing these fatalities in the future. In addition, general physicians may have to perform postmortem examinations in these cases. This review article addresses the latest studies on bath-related deaths from various medical departments, including forensic medicine, emergency medicine, and physiology. We also discuss preventive strategies based on the assumed mechanisms, and because Japan does not have a well-developed system of medical examiners, we also provide suggestions for physicians who will encounter bath-related deaths in the future.

The biophysical characterization of the first SCN5A mutation R1512W identified in Chinese sudden unexplained nocturnal death syndrome. Medicine (Baltimore) 2016; 95:e3836.

Abstract
Increasing evidence observed in clinical phenotypes show that abrupt breathing disorders during sleep may play an important role in the pathogenesis of sudden unexplained nocturnal death syndrome (SUNDS). The reported Brugada syndrome causing mutation R1512W in cardiac sodium channel α subunit encoded gene SCN5A, without obvious loss of function of cardiac sodium channel in previous in vitro study, was identified as the first genetic cause of Chinese SUNDS by us. The R1512W carrier was a 38-year-old male SUNDS victim who died suddenly after tachypnea in nocturnal sleep without any structural heart disease. To test our hypothesis that slight acidosis conditions may contribute to the significant loss of function of mutant cardiac sodium channels underlying SUNDS, the biophysical characterization of SCN5A mutation R1512W was performed under both extracellular and intracellular slight acidosis at pH 7.0. The cDNA of R1512W was created using site-directed mutagenesis methods in the pcDNA3 plasmid vector. The wild type (WT) or mutant cardiac sodium channel R1512W was transiently transfected into HEK293 cells. Macroscopic voltage-gated sodium current (INa) was measured 24 hours after transfection with the whole-cell patch clamp method at room temperature in the HEK293 cells. Under the baseline conditions at pH 7.4, R1512W (-175 ± 15 pA/pF) showed about 30% of reduction in peak INa compared to WT (-254 ± 23 pA/pF, P < 0.05). Under the acidosis condition at pH 7.0, R1512W (-130 ± 17 pA/pF) significantly decreased the peak INa by nearly 50% compared to WT (-243 ± 23 pA/pF, P < 0.005). Compared to baseline condition at pH 7.4, the acidosis at pH 7.0 did not affect the peak INa in WT (P > 0.05) but decreased peak INa in R1512W (P < 0.05). This initial functional study for SCN5A mutation in the Chinese SUNDS victim revealed that the acidosis aggravated the loss of function of mutant channel R1512W and suggested that nocturnal sleep disorders-associated slight acidosis may trigger the lethal arrhythmia underlying the sudden death of SUNDS cases in the setting of genetic defect.
