A high-resolution liquid chromatographic system was utilized to analyze urine samples of twelve nonchemical suicide victims for the relative composition of ultraviolet-absorbing compounds. The analyses demonstrated a decrease in the output of uric acid, characteristic of severe depression, and an increase in the excretion of hypoxanthine. The excretion of 7-methylxanthine was found to be variable and xanthine was normal.
采用高分辨率液相色谱系统分析了12名非化学性自杀受害者的尿液样本,以确定其中紫外线吸收化合物的相对组成。分析结果显示,尿酸排出量减少,这是重度抑郁症的特征,而次黄嘌呤的排泄量增加。7-甲基黄嘌呤的排泄量变化不定,黄嘌呤排泄量正常。
