Transformers are required to demonstrate the ability to withstand short circuit currents. Over currents caused by short circuit can give rise to windings deformation. In this paper, a novel method is proposed to monitor the state of transformer windings, which is achieved through on-line detecting the leakage inductance of the windings. Specifically, the mathematical model is established for on-line identifying the leakage inductance of the windings by applying least square algorithm (LSA) to the equivalent circuit equations. The effect of measurement and model inaccuracy on the identification error is analyzed, and the corrected model is also given to decrease these adverse effect on the results. Finally, dynamic test is carried out to verify our method. The test results clearly show that our method is very accurate even under the fluctuation of load or power factor. Therefore, our method can be effectively used to on-line detect the windings deformation.

Objective To investigate the actual pollution status of heating-ventilating-air conditioning(HVAC) systems in five-star grade hotels in Beijing. Methods Seven sets of centralized HVAC system from five five-star grade hotels in Beijing were selected for sampling monitoring and videotaping in situ from August 2003 to October 2003. Results There were six sets HVAC systems seriously polluted and one set was in moderately polluted according collected dust weight. The total counts of bacteria in the dust were in medium pollution grade in four sets of HVAC systems; The total quantity of fungus in the dust were in medium pollution grade in five sets of HVAC systems; The video materials showed that inside the air duct there were fungus, construction rubbish and deposit of large quantity of dust. Conclusion The HVAC systems of those five hotels were seriously polluted.

Objective To explore the clinical features and diagnosis of pulmonary sarcoidosis.Methods The data of 60 cases of pulmonary sarcoidosis confirmed by pathology was reviewed to determine the clinical features and the value in the diagnosis of sarcoidosis.Results The main clinical manifestations of sarcoidosis included bilateral hilar and mediastinal lymphadenopathy.The results of lung function tests showed that these patients had restrictive ventilating obstacles with decreased DLCO.The diagnosis was confirmed in 80% of the bronchial mucosa biopsies and 77.8% of the transbranchial lung biopsies through fiberotic bronchoscopy,87% of the biopsies of peripheral lymphnodes and 87.5% of the subskin nodes biopsies.Conclusion Nonspecific constitutional symptoms may occur in the cases of sarcoidosis.To the diagnosis of intrathoracic sarcoidosis,peripheral lymph nodes biopsies,the bronchical mucosa biopsies and TBLB are the convenient methods with highly definite diagnosis rate and microinvasion in clinical practice.

Objective To investigate the effect of calcitonin gene related peptide(CGRP) on the expression of cyclic AMP response element binding protein(CREB) mRNA in rat hippocampus and parietal cortex during focal cerebral ischemia and reperfusion(I/R). Methods Focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion model was induced by occluding of the right middle cerebral artery using the intraluminal suture method.Hybridization in situ experiment was used to detect the expression of CREB mRNA in the ipsilateral hippocampal CA1 region and parietal cortex during different reperfusion periods.The positive product of CREB mRNA was analyzed by image analysis system. Results There was a distinct expression of CREB mRNA in right hippocampal CA1 region and parietal cortex in sham group.The absorbency of CREB mRNA positive product reduced in I/R group as compared to sham group,while it increased in CGRP group than I/R group(P

Objective To observe the effect of autophagy inhibitor on the activation of alcohol induced hepatic stel-late cells, and the mechanisms thereof. Methods HSC-T6 cells were cultured in vitro and divided into four groups, includ-ing blank control group, alcohol group, 5 mmol/L 3-MA+alcohol group (low alcohol group) and 10 mmol/L 3-MA+alcohol group (high alcohol group). RT-PCR was used to detect the expression levels ofα-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) and typeⅠcollagen. The levels of LC3Ⅱ,α-SMA and typeⅠcollagen were detected by Western blot assay. The cell viability of HSC-T6 was detected by MTT assay. Results The mRNA expressions ofα-SMA, typeⅠcollagen and the protein of expressionsα-SMA, typeⅠcollagen and LC3Ⅱwere significantly up-regulated in alcohol group compared with those of control group (P<0.05), while the expressions of those parameters were significantly down-regulated in 10 mmol/L 3-MA+alcohol group (P<0.01). The mRNA and protein levels ofα-SMA and typeⅠcollagen were significantly decreased in two 3-MA-treated groups compared with those in alcohol group (P<0.05). Meanwhile, compared with the 5 mmol/L 3-MA+alcohol group,the protein expressions ofα-SMA, typeⅠcollagen and LC3Ⅱwere significantly decreased in10 mmol/L 3-MA+alcohol group (P < 0.05 ). Compared with the alcohol group,there was significantly lower proliferation activity in all two 3-MA-treated groups (P<0.05). Conclusion 3-MA can inhibit the protein expression of LC3Ⅱ,α-SMA and typeⅠcollagen induced by alcohol in HSC-T6 cells, and inhibit the proliferation of HSC cells.

Objective To discuss the curative effect and specificity of interventional therapy for deep venous thrombosis (DVT) of lower limb in burned patients.Methods The clinical data of 13 patients with lower limb DVT after burn,including 7 males and 6 females with a median age of 46.1 years (37-67 years),were retrospectively analyzed.The causes of burn included flame burn (n=9),electric injury (n=2) and hydrothermal bum (n=2).The burned area was 1％-88％ of the total body surface,with a mean of (37.08± 30.60) ％.Lower limb DVT complicated by lower limb bum was observed in 11 patients,among them bum of both lower limbs was seen in 8 patients.Lower limb DVT associated with inhalation injury was found in 5 patients.Clinically,lower limb DVT was usually detected in 13-72 days after burn,with a mean of (38.69± 16.83) days.Interventional treatment was carried out in all 13 patients,and the curative effect was assessed.Results Technical success of interventional treatment was obtained in all 13 patients.Both inferior vena cava filter placement via right internal jugular vein approach (n=3) or via unaffected-side femoral vein approach (n=10) and anticoagulant therapy were conducted.Catheter-directed thrombolysis was employed in 7 patients,intravenous thrombolysis was adopted in 4 patients,and no thrombolysis therapy was used in 2 patients.No pulmonary embolism occurred.The curative effect rate of interventional treatment was 84.6％(11/ 13).Conclusion For the treatment of lower limb DVT after burn,interventional therapy is safe and reliable,but the selection of puncture site and the use or not use of indwelling catheter for thrombolysis should be carefully taken into consideration.

Objective To investigate the effect of penehyclidine hydrochloride (PHC) on iNOS expression in lung in septic mice.Methods Female KM mice were subjected to cecal ligation and puncture (CLP,a model of polymicrobial sepsis) or shame operation.Thirty-six KM mice weighing 20～25 g were randomly assigned into three groups:shame CLP group,CLP group and PHC group.Mice in PHC group were given PHC 0.45 mg/kg intraperitoneally at 1 h before CLP. Six hours after CLP,the lungs of each group were sampled for light and electronic microscopy.The expression of iNOS mRNA in lung tissue were detected by in situ hybridization.The survival rates were observed at 24 h after the operation. Results The CLP group was observed thickened alveolar septa,as well as mitochondrial cristae swelling and mitochondrial vacuolation under electronic microscope.Emptied lamellar bodies could be also found.Histology of lung in PHC group had little changed.Expression of iNOS in lung in PHC group was significantly lower than that of the CLP group.At 24 h after CLP challenge,70.0% of the PHC mice lived,remarkably increased compared with that of the CLP group (26.7%),P＜0.05.Conclusion PHC had effective effect for increasing the survival rates of septic mice,inhibiting the expression of iNOS and reducing the severity of lung injury.
