Sheng-ming Ge,Z Q Bo,Lin Wang,Zhan-feng Fan,Xing Liu,Feng-quan Zhou 보안공학연구지원센터 2016 International Journal of Grid and Distributed Comp Vol.9 No.3

As a new protection, wide-area protection enables protective relaying, and automatic control based on electric power system network communications and comprehensive judgment of multi-point information, which plays an increasingly important role in the secure and stable operation of electric power system. Interaction of wide-area information relies on communication network featuring high reliability and low time delay. On the other hand, most service of power transformation station is gradually towards IP and data oriented, along with the development of smart grid. This paper aims to introduce the wide-area protection technology supported by Packet Transport Network (PTN) communication technology, with analyzing the QoS (Quality of Service) network assurance architecture of PTN network, which establishes three planes, including transport plane, management plane, and control plane, based on ASON (Automatically Switched Optical Network) technology. After demonstrating the QoS assurance system of PTN from traffic control and transmission route, this paper introduces PTN networking test. Based on detailed parameters in the test results, the transmission performance of PTN on time delay, protection, and time synchronization of various electric power communication services are analyzed, with showing that PTN can fully meet the requirements of electric power communication.

Background: Although Becker`s nevus (BN) is a relatively common disease, the systematic studies of clinicopathological and immunohistochemical results are poorly reported. Objective: To investigate the clinicopathological features and immunohistochemical alterations of keratinocyte proliferation, melanocyte density, smooth muscle hyperplasia and nerve fiber distribution in BN. Methods: Clinical and pathological data were collected in 60 newly-diagnosed BN cases. Immunohistochemical stain of Ki-67, Melan-A, keratin 15, smooth muscle actin and protein gene product 9.5 was performed in 21 cases. Results: The median diagnostic and onset age was 17 and 12 years, respectively. Skin lesions usually appeared on the upper trunk and upper limbs. The pathological features included the rete ridge elongation and fusion and basal hyperpigmentation. Epidermal Ki-67, Melan-A and keratin 15 expression and dermal nerve fiber length were significantly higher in lesional and perilesional skin than in normal skin (p<0.05∼0.01), while smooth muscle actin expression was upregulated only in skin lesion (p<0.05). Conclusion: Although the clinical diagnosis of BN is often straightforward, histopathology is helpful to differentiate from other pigmentary disorders. The hyperproliferation of keratinocytes, melanocytes, arrector pili muscle and dermal nerve fibers could be involved in the patho-genesis of BN. (Ann Dermatol 28(6) 697∼703, 2016)

Integrated Protection Unit Design for Power Networks

Zhan-feng Fan,Sheng-ming Ge,Z Q Bo,Lin Wang,Feng-quan Zhou,Xing Liu,Guo-bing Song 보안공학연구지원센터 2016 International Journal of Grid and Distributed Comp Vol.9 No.4

This paper presents an hardware design solution for integrated protection of distribution systems (Network Protection Unit) by combining transient polarity comparison technique, which is based on the detection and processing of fault generated transient current signals. The integrated protection relays installed at each substation of a distribution network are communicated with the Network Protection Unit through specially designed Packet Transport Network (PTN) for fast and reliable transmission of transient polarity current signals. The relay detects the faulted generated super-imposed current signals. The transient polarity identification algorithm is then applied to the super-imposed signals to identify the polarity of the signal detected. The Network Protection Unit can collect all the transient polarity current signals under its protection area. Then The direction of a fault is determined by comparison of the polarity of the signals derived from all the line sections connected to the substation. The actual faulted section is identified by the Network Protection Unit through comparing the directional information from various stations. Simulation results presented in the paper demonstrate the feasibility of the scheme.

The elementary excitation spectra of a one-dimensional ferrimagnetic diamond chain in the spin- 1/2 XY model at low temperatures have been calculated by using an invariant eigen-operator (IEO) method, the energies of elementary excitations in different specific cases are discussed, and the analytic solutions of three critical magnetic field intensities (<i>H</i>_C1, <i>H</i>_C2, and <i>H</i>_peak) are given. The magnetization versus external magnetic field curve displays a 1/3 magnetization plateau at low temperatures, in which <i>H</i>_C1 is the critical magnetic field intensity from the disappearance of the 1/3 magnetization plateau to spin-flop states, <i>H</i>_C2 is the critical magnetic field intensity from spin-flop states to the saturation magnetization, and Hpeak is the critical magnetic field intensity when the temperature magnetization shows a peak in the external magnetic field. The temperature dependences of the magnetic susceptibility and the specific heat show a double peak structure. The entropy and the magnetic susceptibility versus external magnetic field curves also exhibit a double peak structure, and the positions of the two peaks correspond to <i>H</i>_C1 and <i>H</i>_C2, respectively. This derives from the competition among different types of energies: the temperature-dependent thermal disorder energy, the potential energy of the spin magnetic moment, the ferromagnetic exchange interaction energy, and the anti-ferromagnetic exchange interaction energy. However at low temperatures, the specific heat as a function of external magnetic field curve exhibits minima at the above two critical points (<i>H</i>_C1 and <i>H</i><sub>C2<sub>). The origins of the above phenomena are discussed in detail.

Low Expression of Tyrosine-protein Phosphatase Nonreceptor Type 12 is Associated with Lymph Node Metastasis and Poor Prognosis in Operable Triple-negative Breast Cancer

Wu, Min-Qing,Hu, Pan,Gao, Jie,Wei, Wei-Dong,Xiao, Xiang-Sheng,Tang, Hai-Lin,Li, Xing,Ge, Qi-Dong,Jia, Wei-Hua,Liu, Ren-Bin,Xie, Xiao-Ming Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention 2013 Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention Vol.14 No.1

Background: Low tyrosine-protein phosphatase nonreceptor type 12 (PTPN12) expression may be associated with breast cancer growth, proliferation, and metastasis. However, the prognostic value of PTPN12 in breast cancer has not been clearly identified. Patients and Methods: 51 triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients and 83 non-TNBC patients with a histopathology diagnosis from October 2001 to September 2006 were included in this study. Immunohistochemical staining for PTPN12 on tissue microarrays was conducted. Results: High PTPN12 expression was seen in 39.2% of TNBC and 60.2 % of non-TNBC cases. Low PTPN12 expression was associated with lymph node status (p = 0.002) and distant metastatic relapse (p = 0.002) in TNBC patients. Similarly, low PTPN12 expression in non-TNBC patients was significantly correlated with lymph node status (p = 0.002), stage (p = 0.002) and distant metastatic relapse (p = 0.039). The high PTPN12 expression group was associated with longer DFS and OS compared with low PTPN12 expression group only in TNBC cases (p = 0.005, p = 0.015), according to univariate Cox regression analysis. Conclusion: These findings provide evidence that low expression of PTPN12 is associated with worse prognosis and may be used as a potential prognostic biomarker in TNBC patients.

Objective: In this study, we aimed to identify long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) that play important roles in starvation stress, analyze their functions, and discover potential molecular targets to alleviate starvation stress to provide a theoretical reference for subsequent in-depth research. Methods: We generated a piglet starvation stress animal model. Nine Yorkshire weaned piglets were randomly divided into a long-term starvation stress group (starved for 72 h), short-term starvation stress group (starved for 48 h), and the control group. LncRNA libraries were constructed using high-throughput sequencing of piglet ileums. Results: We obtained 11,792 lncRNAs, among which, 2,500 lncRNAs were novel. In total, 509 differentially expressed (DE)lncRNAs were identified in this study. Target genes of DElncRNAs were predicted via cis and trans interactions, and functional and pathway analyses were performed. Gene ontology functions and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes analysis revealed that lncRNA-targeted genes mainly participated in metabolic pathways, cellular processes, immune system processes, digestive systems, and transport activities. To reveal the mechanism underlying starvation stress, the interaction network between lncRNAs and their targets was constructed based on 26 DElncRNAs and 72 DEmRNAs. We performed an interaction network analysis of 121 DElncRNA–DEmRNA pairs with a Pearson correlation coefficient greater than 0.99. Conclusion: We found that MSTRG.19894.13, MSTRG.16726.3, and MSTRG.12176.1 might play important roles in starvation stress. This study not only generated a library of enriched lncRNAs in piglets, but its outcomes also provide a strong foundation to screen key lncRNAs involved in starvation stress and a reference for subsequent in-depth research.
