AIR GAP CONTROL SYSTEM FOR HYDROGENERATORS by I. O. Zaitsev, A. S. Levytskyi, V. E. Sydorchuk

“…The aim of the study was development of a computerized information-measuring system for measuring the air gap in the hydrogenator, which used two capacitive sensors with parallel coplanar electrodes, and the method of determining the shape of the envelope parameters hydrogenerator rotor poles relative to the center axis of rotation, using the measurement results of the air gap.In practical studies of the sensor circuit it has been shown that its use allows for the informative value of the sensor capacitance conversion function to obtain a high accuracy and resolution measurement with digital linearization of converting function of the sensor with use program utility. …”

Effect and Mechanism of Action of Pushing Method on Rats with Skeletal Muscle Overuse Injury based on Wnt/β-catenin Signaling Pathway by DUAN Miaomiao, HUANG Bo, RUAN Lei, MU Pangpang, CHEN Yiming, PENG Liang

“…Catenin protein expression levels.Results(1) Comparison of motor function：compared with the blank group, the time of passing through the balance beam and the number of times of sliding paw were significantly increased in the model group and intervention group after intervention, and the difference was statistically significant (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05); compared with the model group, the time of passing through the paw and the number of times of sliding paw were significantly decreased in the intervention group after intervention, and the difference was statistically significant (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05). (2) Gastrocnemius muscle histopathological changes：the model group can be seen in the gastrocnemius muscle a large number of myocytes can be seen within the cracks, myogenic fibers fracture; compared with the model group, the degree of damage to the gastrocnemius muscle tissues in the intervention group to reduce the degree of damage, can be seen in the form of myofibers is regular, neatly arranged. (3) Ultrastructural changes in gastrocnemius muscle tissue：local myogenic fiber bundles were broken and dissolved, and a small amount of Z-line structure was dissolved and blurred; compared with the model group, the gastrocnemius muscle cells in the intervention group were slightly edematous, and the structure of the myogenic fiber bundles was clear; part of the myogenic fiber bundles were broken, and the structure of the Z-lines was clear and more neatly arranged. (4) Gastrocnemius muscle tissue MyoD, MyoG and Pax7 mRNA transcript levels：compared with the blank group, MyoD, MyoG and Pax7 mRNA transcript levels were significantly higher in both the model group and the intervention group (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05); compared with the model group, MyoD, MyoG and Pax7 mRNA transcript levels were significantly higher in the intervention group (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05). (5) Gastrocnemius muscle tissue MyoD, MyoG and Pax7 protein expression level：compared with the blank group, MyoD, MyoG and Pax7 protein expression water were significantly higher in both the model group and the intervention group (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05); compared with the model group, MyoD, MyoG and Pax7 protein expression level was significantly higher in the intervention group (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05). (6) Wnt3a, Axin2 and β-catenin protein expression levels in gastrocnemius muscle tissues：compared with the blank group, Wnt3a, Axin2 and β-catenin protein expression levels were significantly higher in both the model group and the intervention group (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05); compared with the model group, Wnt3a, Axin2 and β-catenin protein expression levels were significantly higher in the intervention group (<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05).ConclusionPushing method can improve the gastrocnemius muscle injury and motor function in rats with overuse injury model, and its mechanism may be related to the activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.…”
