    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Eine Methode zur Bestimmung der Todeszeit (TZ) wurde evaluiert, indem der Melatonin-Gehalt der Epiphysen, Serum und Urin-Proben von 85 Leichen gemessen wurde. Insgesamt wurden 44 Leichen in Sapporo (geographische Koordinaten N 43°, 4′, E 141° 21′) und 41 Leichen in Tokio (N 35° 39′, E 139° 44′) untersucht. Die Melatonin-Gehalte wurden mit Hilfe des Radioimmunoassays (RIA) in 85 Epiphysen, 27 Seren und 14 Urinproben untersucht. Exponentielle Differenzen des epiphysären Melatonin-Gehalts wurden zwischen den nächtlichen Spitzenwerten und den „Nadirs” während der Tageszeit beobachtet. Diese variierten zwischen 0,099 und 63,2 ng/Epiphyse. Zirkadian-Rhythmen wurden ebenfalls beobachtet für die Konzentrationen von Melatonin im Serum (11–205 pg/ml) und in Urin (7,5–137,5 pg/ml). Folglich werden die Kriterien für die Bestimmung der TZ wie folgt vorgeschlagen: 1) Epiphysäre Melatonin-Gehalte —(1) 0–0,2 ng/Epiphyse: TZ 1100–1700 Uhr, (2) 0,2–0,3 ng/Epiphyse: TZ 0700–2000 Uhr, (3) 0.3–1 ng/Epiphyse: unentschieden, (4) 1–4 ng/Epiphyse: TZ 1600–1000 Uhr, (5) 4–8 ng/Epiphyse: TZ 2000–0800 Uhr, (6) über 8 ng/Epiphyse: TZ 2000–0500 Uhr; 2) Serum-Melatonin-Gehalte — (1) 0–100 pg/ml: unentschieden, (2) über 100 pg/ml: TZ 2200–0100 Uhr und 3) Urin-Melatonin-Gehalte — (1) 0–35 pg/ml: unentschieden, (2) über 35 pg/ml: TZ 1800–0600 Uhr. Die Streubreite der Bestimmung kann durch eine Kombination dieser 3 Kriterien eingeengt werden. Die vorliegende Methode kann mit anderen Methoden zur Bestimmung der Todeszeit kombiniert werden, um deren Variationsbreite zu verringern.
    Notes: Abstract A method for the estimation of time of death (TOD), was evaluated by measuring the melatonin (MT) content of pineal bodies (PBs), sera and urine samples from 85 cadavers. A total of 44 cadavers were investigated in Sapporo (geographical coordinates N 43° 4′, E 141° 21′) and 41 in Tokyo (N 35° 39′, E 139° 44′). MT contents were measured by radioimmunoassay (RIA) in 75 PBs, 27 sera and 14 urine samples. Exponential differences of pineal MT content were recognized between peaks in nighttime and nadirs in daytime, ranging from 0.099 to 63.2 ng/PB. Circadian rhythms were also observed for the concentrations of MT in serum (11–205 pg/ml), and in urine (7.5–137.5 pg/ml). Consequently, criteria for the TOD estimation are proposed as follows. 1) Pineal MT contents — (1) 0–0.2 ng/PB: TOD 1100–1700 hours, (2) 0.2–0.3 ng/PB: TOD 0700–2000 hours, (3) 0.3–1 ng/PB: inconclusive, (4) 1–4 ng/PB: TOD 1600–1000 hours, (5) 4–8 ng/PB: TOD 2000–0800 hours, (6) over 8 ng/PB: TOD 2000–0500 hours, 2) Serum MT concentration — (1) 0–100 pg/ml: inconclusive, (2) over 100 pg/ml: TOD 2200–0100 hours, and 3) Urinary MT concentration — (1) 0–35 pg/ml: inconclusive, (2) over 35 pg/ml: TOD 1800–0600 hours. The range of the estimation can be limited by a combination of these 3 criteria. The present method can be combined with other methods for estimating the TOD to decrease the range.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Observation d'un jeune japonais, âgé de 21 ans, d'intelligence normale mais présentant une sévère athétose, une scoliose avec bassin oblique et un réflexe de Galant positif. Le malade se plaignait de ne pouvoir facilement se maintenir en position assise. Après libération des parties molles péri-articulaires à la hanche et à l'épaule, suivie de physiothérapie, il a subi une transposition du tenseur du fascia-lata sur le gril costal homolatéral. Six ans après la dernière opération la scoliose a été remarquablement améliorée, ainsi que l'obliquité du bassin. Il existe également une diminution du réflexe de Galant. Enfin son activité journalière a été facilitée par la transposition tendineuse et il peut rester assis plus d'une heure.
    Notes: Summary A 21 year old Japanese male of normal intelligence with severe athetosis, scoliosis with pelvic obliquity, and a positive Galant's reflex was seen with complaint of difficulty in maintaining a sitting posture. After release of the soft tissues around the hip and axilla, followed by physiotherapy, he underwent ipsilateral transfer of the tensor fasciae latae to the rib cage. Six years after the final operation there has been remarkable improvement of his scoliosis and pelvic obliquity but also diminution of Galant's reflex. In addition his daily activities have been improved by the muscle transferred. He can sit for more than one hour.
