Malachite green (MG), a triphenylmethane dye, is carcinogenic, mutagenic, teratogenic, a respiratory toxin, and causes chromosomal fractures. It is not permitted for use as an aquaculture veterinary drug in a number of countries. Sensitive extraction methods for MG and leucomalachite green (LMG), which have long residence times in fish tissues, were developed. For LMG, the average recovery of liquid extraction (LE) ranged from 41.71 (yellowtail) to 71.60% (snakehead); the recovery of liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) was between 67.68 (yellowtail) and 83.68% (snakehead); and the average recovery of solid-phase extraction (SPE) ranged from 84.16 (yellowtail) to 92.92% (shrimp). The recovery of MG was less than 30% with SPE. However, the dye is found primarily as the colorless reduced leuco form in fish tissues.

Malachite green (MG) has been used world-widely in aquaculture as a parasiticide or fungicide. Although MG performed successfully, it has not been permitted for use in aquaculture from European Union, USA, and Canada because of its carcinogenicity and mutagenicity. We developed a sensitive and specific method to determine MG and its principal metabolite, leucomalachite green (LMG), respectively by isotope dilution liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (ID-LC/MS). To enhance the extraction recovery of MG and LMG from fish tissue, an additional step, saponification, was introduced in sample preparation process to remove fat in sample extract, which hampered the performance of SPE columns. The residue of MG and LMG in fish was analyzed using liquid chromatography mass spectrometry in the selected ion monitoring (SIM) mode by monitoring at m/z 329 and 334 for MG and $d_5$-MG and at m/z 331 and 337 for LMG and $^{13}C_6$-LMG, respectively. This method was validated by comparing with the value of the reference material provided by Laboratory Government Chemistry (LGC). The results agreed within the measurement uncertainty and the accuracy was much improved than the provided reference value by LGC.

혈액은 범죄현장에서 가장 흔하게 볼 수 있는 체액 중 하나이며 용의자를 확인하고 사건 현장을 재구성하는데 중요한 역할을 한다. 혈액의 혈청학적 식별법은 법과학 분야에서 널리 사용되고 있지만, 오래된 혈흔에 대한 혈청학적 식별법의 비교에 관한 연구는 거의 수행되지 않았다. 본 연구의 목적은 오래된 혈흔의 다양한 식별법을 비교하고 그 유효성에 대한 정보를 제공하는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 Tetramethylbenzidine, $Bluestar^{(R)}$, Leucomalachite Green, Kastle-Meyer의 네 가지 혈액 예비시험과 Fecal Occult Blood (FOB)와 Rapid Stain $Identification^{(TM)}-Blood$ ($RSID^{TM}-Blood$) 두 가지 혈액 확증시험을 사용하여 비교연구를 수행하였다. 혈흔 시료는 최소 7년부터 최대 30년동안 실온에서 거즈에 보관된 부검 혈액을 사용하였다. 실험 결과 네 가지 예비 실험에서는 30년까지 경과된 시료를 포함하여 모든 시료에서 양성반응으로 관찰되었다. 반면에 FOB와 $RSID^{TM}-Blood$는 17년 이상 경과된 일부 시료(1988년부터 2001년)에서 음성이 나타나 오래된 혈흔 시료의 경우 확증시험에서 음성반응이 나타날 수 있음을 확인하였다. 이러한 연구 결과는 오래된 증거물에 대한 혈청학적 감정에서 적절한 혈액 식별법 선정에 도움이 될 수 있을 것으로 기대한다. 더불어 법과학적인 감정분야에서 활용할 때 유용한 배경지식이 되리라 사료된다.

The most common sources of biological trace material which are found in crime scene are the human bloodstains. Reliable identification in the forensic casework is important as it provides crucial insights into crime scene reconstruction and can thus contribute towards solving crimes. Blood-stains are routinely tested in forensic practise using various methods including the leucomalachite green (LMG) test, Kastle-Meyer phenolphthalein test, tetramethylbenzidine test, orthotolidine test, or the luminol chemoluminescence test with the latter cleaning attempts. All these presumptive thus indicative but not identifying tests take advantage of the peroxidase-like activity of the heme unit of the hemoglobin molecule in human blood. Therefore, false-positive results can be caused by the presence of strong oxidants, such as chlorine-containing detergents or by true peroxidases (e.g., from plants). In this study, composition for Gum guaiac was evaluated for the forensic identification of bloodstain and compared with the LMG. The sensitivity and specificity of the composition for Gum guaiac were examined more stable in bloodstain. The positive of Composition for Gum guaiac shown even with the 100,000-fold diluted bloodstain, which was no difference in comparison with LMG test. It was shown that composition for Gum guaiac was very stable to resist boiling for 20 minutes and the effect of bacteria did not affect the genetic analysis as well. The above result of the crime scene investigation, composition for Gum guaiac is easily expected to help identifying bloodstain in the evidences.
