The determination of time since death or the postmortem interval (PMI) is one of the most important and frequently asked questions in forensic medicine. Medicolegal scholars and forensic pathologists around the world have studied the estimation of PMI extensively in the past, and many novel methods and advanced technologies have now been applied in the field. For several centuries, Chinese forensic examiners have also worked on the estimation of the PMI, and there are a large number of excellent studies published in Chinese rather than in English, and these are not easily accessible or known internationally. Therefore we have conducted a review of relevant studies published by Chinese forensic scholars in the last few decades. The scope of this review is to provide a concise summary of the current progress in the estimation of PMI by Chinese forensic researchers using molecular biology, spectroscopic technology, entomological methods, energy changes, thanatochemistry and other methods.
确定死亡时间或死后间隔时间（PMI）是法医学中最重要且经常被问到的问题之一。过去，世界各地的法医学者和法医病理学家对PMI的估计进行了广泛研究，现在许多新方法和先进技术已应用于该领域。几个世纪以来，中国的法医检验人员也致力于PMI的估计，并且有大量优秀研究以中文而非英文发表，这些研究在国际上不易获取或为人所知。因此，我们对中国法医研究者在过去几十年发表的相关研究进行了综述。本综述的范围是简要总结中国法医研究人员使用分子生物学、光谱技术、昆虫学方法、能量变化、死后化学等方法在PMI估计方面的当前进展。
