The Neutral Grounding Resistor Sizing Using an Analytical Method Based on Nonlinear Transformer Model for Inrush Current MitigationGholamabas M.H.Hajivar Shahid Chamran University,Ahvaz, Iranhajivar@S.S.MortazaviShahid Chamran University,Ahvaz, IranMortazavi_s@scu.ac.irMohsen SanieiShahid Chamran University,Ahvaz, IranMohsen.saniei@Abstract-It was found that a neutral resistor together with 'simultaneous' switching didn't have any effect on either the magnitudes or the time constant of inrush currents. The pre-insertion resistors were recommended as the most effective means of controlling inrush currents. Through simulations, it was found that the neutral resistor had little effect on reducing the inrush current peak or even the rate of decay as compared to the cases without a neutral resistor. The use of neutral impedances was concluded to be ineffective compared to the use of pre-insertion resistors. This finding was explained by the low neutral current value as compared to that of high phase currents during inrush. The inrush currents could be mitigated by using a neutral resistor when sequential switching is implemented. From the sequential energizing scheme performance, the neutral resistor size plays the significant role in the scheme effectiveness. Through simulation, it was found that a few ohms neutral grounding resistor can effectively achieve inrush currents reduction. If the neutral resistor is directly selected to minimize the peak of the actual inrush current, a much lower resistor value could be found.This paper presents an analytical method to select optimal neutral grounding resistor for mitigation of inrush current. In this method nonlinearity and core loss of the transformer has been modeled and derived analytical equations.Index Terms--Inrush current, neutral grounding resistor, transformerI.I NTRODUCTIONThe energizing of transformers produces high inrush currents. The nature of inrush currents have rich in harmonics coupled with relatively a long duration, leads to adverse effects on the residual life of the transformer, malfunction of the protection system [1] and power quality [2]. In the power-system industry, two different strategies have been implemented to tackle the problem of transformer inrush currents. The first strategy focuses on adapting to the effects of inrush currents by desensitizing the protection elements. Other approaches go further by 'over-sizing' the magnetic core to achieve higher saturation flux levels. These partial countermeasures impose downgrades on the system's operational reliability, considerable increases unit cost, high mechanical stresses on the transformer and lead to a lower power quality. The second strategy focuses on reducing the inrush current magnitude itself during the energizing process. Minimizing the inrush current will extend the transformer's lifetime and increase the reliability of operation and lower maintenance and down-time costs. Meanwhile, the problem of protection-system malfunction is eliminated during transformer energizing. The available inrush current mitigation consist "closing resistor"[3], "control closing of circuit breaker"[4],[5], "reduction of residual flux"[6], "neutral resistor with sequential switching"[7],[8],[9].The sequential energizing technique presents inrush-reduction scheme due to transformer energizing. This scheme involves the sequential energizing of the three phases transformer together with the insertion of a properly sized resistor at the neutral point of the transformer energizing side [7] ,[8],[9] (Fig. 1).The neutral resistor based scheme acts to minimize the induced voltage across the energized windings during sequential switching of each phase and, hence, minimizes the integral of the applied voltage across the windings.The scheme has the main advantage of being a simpler, more reliable and more cost effective than the synchronous switching and pre-insertion resistor schemes. The scheme has no requirements for the speed of the circuit breaker or the determination of the residual flux. Sequential switching of the three phases can be implemented through either introducing a mechanical delay between each pole in the case of three phase breakers or simply through adjusting the breaker trip-coil time delay for single pole breakers.A further study of the scheme revealed that a much lower resistor size is equally effective. The steady-state theory developed for neutral resistor sizing [8] is unable to explain this phenomenon. This phenomenon must be understood using transient analysis.Fig. 1. The sequential phase energizing schemeUPEC201031st Aug - 3rd Sept 2010The rise of neutral voltage is the main limitation of the scheme. Two methods present to control the neutral voltage rise: the use of surge arrestors and saturated reactors connected to the neutral point. The use of surge arresters was found to be more effective in overcoming the neutral voltage rise limitation [9].The main objective of this paper is to derive an analytical relationship between the peak of the inrush current and the size of the resistor. This paper presents a robust analytical study of the transformer energizing phenomenon. The results reveal a good deal of information on inrush currents and the characteristics of the sequential energizing scheme.II. SCHEME PERFORMANCESince the scheme adopts sequential switching, each switching stage can be investigated separately. For first-phase switching, the scheme's performance is straightforward. The neutral resistor is in series with the energized phase and this resistor's effect is similar to a pre-insertion resistor.The second- phase energizing is one of the most difficult to analyze. Fortunately, from simulation studies, it was found that the inrush current due to second-phase energizing is lower than that due to first-phase energizing for the same value of n R [9]. This result is true for the region where the inrush current of the first-phase is decreasing rapidly as n R increases. As a result, when developing a neutral-resistor-sizing criterion, the focus should be directed towards the analysis of the first-phase energizing.III. A NALYSIS OF F IRST -P HASE E NERGIZING The following analysis focuses on deriving an inrush current waveform expression covering both the unsaturatedand saturated modes of operation respectively. The presented analysis is based on a single saturated core element, but is suitable for analytical modelling of the single-phase transformers and for the single-phase switching of three-phase transformers. As shown in Fig. 2, the transformer's energized phase was modeled as a two segmented saturated magnetizing inductance in series with the transformer's winding resistance, leakage inductance and neutral resistance. The iron core non-l inear inductance as function of the operating flux linkages is represented as a linear inductor inunsaturated ‘‘m l ’’ and saturated ‘‘s l ’’ modes of operation respectively. (a)(b)Fig. 2. (a) Transformer electrical equivalent circuit (per-phase) referred to the primary side. (b) Simplified, two slope saturation curve.For the first-phase switching stage, the equivalent circuit represented in Fig. 2(a) can accurately represent behaviour of the transformer for any connection or core type by using only the positive sequence Flux-Current characteristics. Based on the transformer connection and core structure type, the phases are coupled either through the electrical circuit (3 single phase units in Yg-D connection) or through the Magnetic circuit (Core type transformers with Yg-Y connection) or through both, (the condition of Yg-D connection in an E-Core or a multi limb transformer). The coupling introduced between the windings will result in flux flowing through the limbs or magnetic circuits of un-energized phases. For the sequential switching application, the magnetic coupling will result in an increased reluctance (decreased reactance) for zero sequence flux path if present. The approach presented here is based on deriving an analytical expression relating the amount of inrush current reduction directly to the neutral resistor size. Investigation in this field has been done and some formulas were given to predict the general wave shape or the maximum peak current.A. Expression for magnitude of inrush currentIn Fig. 2(a), p r and p l present the total primary side resistance and leakage reactance. c R shows the total transformer core loss. Secondary side resistance sp r and leakage reactance sp l as referred to primary side are also shown. P V and s V represent the primary and secondary phase to ground terminal voltages, respectively.During first phase energizing, the differential equation describing behaviour of the transformer with saturated ironcore can be written as follows:()())sin((2) (1)φω+⋅⋅=⋅+⋅+⋅+=+⋅+⋅+=t V (t)V dtdi di d λdt di l (t)i R r (t)V dt d λdt di l (t)i R r (t)V m P ll p pp n p P p p p n p PAs the rate of change of the flux linkages with magnetizing current dt d /λcan be represented as an inductance equal to the slope of the i −λcurve, (2) can be re-written as follows;()(3) )()()(dtdi L dt di l t i R r t V lcore p p P n p P ⋅+⋅+⋅+=λ (4) )()(L core l p c l i i R dtdi−⋅=⋅λ⎩⎨⎧==sml core L L di d L λλ)(s s λλλλ>≤The general solution of the differential equations (3),(4) has the following form;⎪⎩⎪⎨⎧>−⋅⋅+−⋅+−−⋅+≤−⋅⋅+−⋅+−⋅=(5) )sin(//)()( )sin(//)(s s 22222221211112121111λλψωττλλψωττt B t e A t t e i A t B t e A t e A t i s s pSubscripts 11,12 and 21,22 denote un-saturated and saturated operation respectively.

IV. A NALYSIS OF SECOND-P HASE E NERGIZING It is obvious that the analysis of the electric and magnetic circuit behavior during second phase switching will be sufficiently more complex than that for first phase switching.Transformer behaviour during second phase switching was served to vary with respect to connection and core structure type. However, a general behaviour trend exists within lowneutral resistor values where the scheme can effectively limitinrush current magnitude. For cases with delta winding or multi-limb core structure, the second phase inrush current is lower than that during first phase switching. Single phase units connected in star/star have a different performance as both first and second stage inrush currents has almost the same magnitude until a maximum reduction rate of about80% is achieved. V. NEUTRAL VOLTAGE RISEThe peak neutral voltage will reach values up to peak phasevoltage where the neutral resistor value is increased. Typicalneutral voltage peak profile against neutral resistor size is shown in Fig. 6- Fig. 8, for the 225 KVA transformer during 1st and 2nd phase switching. A del ay of 40 (ms) between each switching stage has been considered. VI. S IMULATION A 225 KVA, 2400V/600V, 50 Hz three phase transformer connected in star-star are used for the simulation study.

ConclusionsIn this paper, Based on the sequential switching, presents an analytical method to select optimal neutral grounding resistor for transformer inrush current mitigation. In this method, complete transformer model, including core loss and nonlinearity core specification, has been used. It was shown that high reduction in inrush currents among the three phases can be achieved by using a neutral resistor .Other work presented in this paper also addressed the scheme's main practical limitation: the permissible rise of neutral voltage.VIII.R EFERENCES[1] Hanli Weng, Xiangning Lin "Studies on the UnusualMaloperation of Transformer Differential Protection During the Nonlinear Load Switch-In",IEEE Transaction on Power Delivery, vol. 24, no.4, october 2009.[2] Westinghouse Electric Corporation, Electric Transmissionand Distribution Reference Book, 4th ed.

Considering that patterns of aging are consistent, facial ptosis becomes manifest toward the end of the fourth decade. In order to simulate facial aging according to these patterns, we used surfaces with control points so that it was possible to represent the effect of aging through flaccidity. The main use of these surfaces is to simulate flaccidity and aging consequently.1.IntroductionThe synthesis of realistic virtual views remains one of the central research topics in computer graphics. The range of applications encompasses many fields, including: visual interfaces for communications, integrated environments of virtual reality, as well as visual effects commonly used in film production.The ultimate goal of the research on realistic rendering is to display a scene on a screen so that it appears as if the object exists behind the screen. This description, however, is somewhat ambiguous and doesn't provide a quality measure for synthesized images. Certain areas, such as plastic surgery, need this quality evaluation on synthesized faces to make sure how the patient look like and more often how the patient will look like in the future. Instead, in computer graphics and computer vision communities, considerable effort has been put forthto synthesize the virtual view of real or imaginary scenes so that they look like the real scenes.Much work that plastic surgeons put in this fieldis to retard aging process but aging is an inevitable process. Age changes cause major variations in the appearance of human faces [1]. Some aspects of aging are uncontrollable and are based on hereditary factors; others are somewhat controllable, resulting from many social factors including lifestyle, among others [2].1.1.Related WorkMany works about aging human faces have been done. We can list some related work in the simulation of facial skin deformation [3].One approach is based on geometric models, physically based models and biomechanical models using either a particle system or a continuous system.Many geometrical models have been developed, such as parametric model [4] and geometric operators [5]. The finite element method is also employed for more accurate calculation of skin deformation, especially for potential medical applications such as plastic surgery [6]. Overall, those works simulate wrinkles but none of them have used flaccidity as causing creases and aging consequently.In this work is presented this effort in aging virtual human faces, by addressing the synthesis of new facial images of subjects for a given target age.We present a scheme that uses aging function to perform this synthesis thru flaccidity. This scheme enforces perceptually realistic images by preserving the identity of the subject. The main difference between our model and the previous ones is that we simulate increase of fat and muscular mass diminish causing flaccidity as one responsible element for the sprouting of lines and aging human face.In the next section will plan to present the methodology. Also in section 3, we introduce the measurements procedure, defining structural alterations of the face. In section 4, we present a visual facial model. We describe age simulation thrua deformation approach in section 5. In the last section we conclude the main results and future work.2.MethodologyA methodology to model the aging of human face allows us to recover the face aging process. This methodology consists of: 1) defining the variations of certain face regions, where the aging process is perceptible; 2) measuring the variations of those regions for a period of time in a group of people and finally 3) making up a model through the measurements based on personal features.That could be used as a standard to a whole group in order to design aging curves to the facial regions defined.¦njjjpVM2.1Mathematical Background and AnalysisHuman society values beauty and youth. It is well known that the aging process is influenced by several parameters such: feeding, weight, stress level, race, religious factors, genetics, etc. Finding a standard set of characteristics that could possibly emulate and represent the aging process is a difficult proposition.This standard set was obtained through a mathematical analysis of some face measurements in a specific group of people, whose photographs in different ages were available [7]. To each person in the group, there were, at least, four digitized photographs. The oldest of them was taken as a standard to the most recent one. Hence, some face alterations were attained through the passing of time for the same person.The diversity of the generated data has led to the designing of a mathematical model, which enabled the acquiring of a behavior pattern to all persons of the same group, as the form of a curve defined over the domain [0,1] in general, in order to define over any interval [0,Į] for an individual face. The unknown points Įi are found using the blossoming principle [8] to form the control polygon of that face.The first step consisted in the selection of the group to be studied. Proposing the assessment of the face aging characteristics it will be necessary to have a photographic follow-up along time for a group of people, in which their face alterations were measurable.The database used in this work consisted of files of patients who were submitted to plastic surgery at Medical Center Praia do Guaíba, located in Porto Alegre, Brazil.3.MeasurementsAccording to anatomic principles [9] the vectors of aging can be described aswhich alter the position and appearance of key anatomic structures of the face as can be shown in figure 1 which compares a Caucasian mother age 66 (left side) with her Caucasian daughters, ages 37 (right above) and 33 (right below) respectively.Figure 1 - Observation of family groupsTherefore, basic anatomic and surgical principles must be applied when planning rejuvenative facial surgery and treating specific problems concomitantwith the aging process.4.Visual Facial ModelThe fact that human face has an especially irregular format and interior components (bones, muscles and fabrics) to possess a complex structure and deformations of different face characteristics of person to person, becomes the modeling of the face a difficult task. The modeling carried through in the present work was based on the model, where the mesh of polygons corresponds to an elastic mesh, simulating the dermis of the face. The deformations in this mesh, necessary to simulate the aging curves, are obtained through the displacement of the vertexes, considering x(t) as a planar curve, which is located within the (u,v ) unit square. So, we can cover the square with a regular grid of points b i,j =[i/m,j/n]T ; i=0,...,m; j=0,...,n. leading to every point (u,v ) asfrom the linear precision property of Bernstein polynomials. Using comparisons with parents we can distort the grid of b i,j into a grid b'i,j , the point (u,v )will be mapped to a point (u',v') asIn order to construct our 3D mesh we introduce the patch byAs the displacements of the vertexes conform to the certain measures gotten through curves of aging and no type of movement in the face is carried through, the parameters of this modeling had been based on the conformation parameter.4.1Textures mappingIn most cases the result gotten in the modeling of the face becomes a little artificial. Using textures mapping can solve this problem. This technique allows an extraordinary increase in the realism of the shaped images and consists of applying on the shaped object, existing textures of the real images of the object.In this case, to do the mapping of an extracted texture of a real image, it is necessary that the textureaccurately correspond to the model 3D of that is made use [9].The detected feature points are used for automatic texture mapping. The main idea of texture mapping is that we get an image by combining two orthogonal pictures in a proper way and then give correct texture coordinates of every point on a head.To give a proper coordinate on a combined image for every point on a head, we first project an individualized 3D head onto three planes, the front (x, y), the left (y, z) and the right (y, z) planes. With the information of feature lines, which are used for image merging, we decide on which plane a 3D-head point on is projected.The projected points on one of three planes arethen transferred to one of feature points spaces suchas the front and the side in 2D. Then they are transferred to the image space and finally to the combined image space.The result of the texture mapping (figure 2) is excellent when it is desired to simulate some alteration of the face that does not involve a type of expression, as neutral. The picture pose must be the same that the 3D scanned data.¦¦¦ mi nj lk n j m i lk k j i w B v B u B b w v u 000,,)()()(')',','(¦¦ m i nj n jmij i v B u B b v u 00,)()(),(¦¦ m i nj n j m i j i v B u B b v u 00,)()(')','(¦¦¦ mi nj lk n j m i lk k j i w B v B u B b w v u 000,,)()()(')',','(Figure 2 - Image shaped with texturemapping5.Age SimulationThis method involves the deformation of a face starting with control segments that define the edges of the faces, as¦¦¦ mi nj lk n j m i lk k j i w B v B u B b w v u 000,,)()()(')',','(Those segments are defined in the original face and their positions are changed to a target face. From those new positions the new position of each vertex in the face is determined.The definition of edges in the face is a fundamental step, since in that phase the applied aging curves are selected. Hence, the face is divided in influencing regions according to their principal edges and characteristics.Considering the face morphology and the modeling of the face aging developed [10], the face was divided in six basic regions (figure 3).The frontal region (1) is limited by the eyelids and the forehead control lines. The distance between these limits enlarges with forward aging.The orbitary region (2) is one of the most important aging parameters because a great number of wrinkles appears and the palpebral pouch increases [11]. In nasal region (3) is observed an enlargement of its contour.The orolabial region (4) is defined by 2 horizontal control segments bounding the upper and lower lips and other 2 segments that define the nasogenian fold. Figure 3 - Regions considering the agingparametersThe lips become thinner and the nasogenian fold deeper and larger. The mental region (5) have 8 control segments that define the low limit of the face and descend with aging. In ear curve (6) is observed an enlargement of its size. The choice of feature lines was based in the characteristic age points in figure 6.The target face is obtained from the aging curves applied to the source face, i.e., with the new control segment position, each vertex of the new image has its position defined by the corresponding vertex in the target face. This final face corresponds to the face in the new age, which was obtained through the application of the numerical modeling of the frontal face aging.The definition of the straight-line segment will control the aging process, leading to a series of tests until the visual result was adequate to the results obtained from the aging curves. The extremes of the segments are interpolated according to the previously defined curves, obtained by piecewise bilinear interpolation [12].Horizontal and vertical orienting auxiliary lines were defined to characterize the extreme points of the control segments (figure 4). Some points, that delimit the control segments, are marked from the intersection of the auxiliary lines with the contour of the face, eyebrow, superior part of the head and the eyes. Others are directly defined without the use of auxiliary lines, such as: eyelid hollow, eyebrow edges, subnasion, mouth, nasolabial wrinkle andnose sides.Figure 4 - Points of the control segmentsOnce the control segments characterize the target image, the following step of the aging process can be undertaken, corresponding to the transformations of the original points to the new positions in the target image. The transformations applied to the segments are given by the aging curves, presented in section 4.In the present work the target segments are calculated by polynomial interpolations, based on parametric curves [12].5.1Deformation approachThe common goal of deformation models is to regulate deformations of a geometric model by providing smoothness constraints. In our age simulation approach, a mesh-independent deformation model is proposed. First, connected piece-wise 3D parametric volumes are generated automatically from a given face mesh according to facial feature points.These volumes cover most regions of a face that can be deformed. Then, by moving the control pointsof each volume, face mesh is deformed. By using non-parallel volumes [13], irregular 3D manifolds are formed. As a result, smaller number of deformvolumes are necessary and the number of freedom incontrol points are reduced. Moreover, based on facialfeature points, this model is mesh independent,which means that it can be easily adopted to deformany face model.After this mesh is constructed, for each vertex on the mesh, it needs to be determined which particularparametric volume it belongs to and what valueparameters are. Then, moving control points ofparametric volumes in 3D will cause smooth facialdeformations, generating facial aging throughflaccidity, automatically through the use of the agingparameters. This deformation is written in matricesas , where V is the nodal displacements offace mesh, B is the mapping matrix composed ofBernstein polynomials, and E is the displacementvector of parametric volume control nodes.BE V Given a quadrilateral mesh of points m i,j ,, we define acontinuous aged surface via a parametricinterpolation of the discretely sampled similaritiespoints. The aged position is defined via abicubic polynomial interpolation of the form with d m,n chosen to satisfy the known normal and continuity conditions at the sample points x i,j .>@>M N j i ,...,1,...,1),(u @@>@>1,,1,),,( j j v i i u v u x ¦3,,),(n m n m n m v u d v u x An interactive tool is programmed to manipulate control points E to achieve aged expressions making possible to simulate aging through age ranges. Basic aged expression units are orbicularis oculi, cheek, eyebrow, eyelid, region of chin, and neck [14]. In general, for each segment, there is an associated transformation, whose behavior can be observed by curves. The only segments that do not suffer any transformation are the contour of the eyes and the superior side of the head.5.2Deformation approachThe developed program also performs shape transformations according to the created aging curves, not including any quantification over the alterations made in texture and skin and hair color. Firstly, in the input model the subjects are required to perform different ages, as previouslymentioned, the first frame needs to be approximately frontal view and with no expression.Secondly, in the facial model initialization, from the first frame, facial features points are extracted manually. The 3D fitting algorithm [15] is then applied to warp the generic model for the person whose face is used. The warping process and from facial feature points and their norms, parametric volumes are automatically generated.Finally, aging field works to relieve the drifting problem in template matching algorithm, templates from the previous frame and templates from the initial frame are applied in order to combine the aging sequence. Our experiments show that this approach is very effective. Despite interest has been put in presenting a friendly user interface, we have to keep in mind that the software system is research oriented. In this kind of applications an important point is the flexibility to add and remove test facilities. 6.Results The presented results in the following figuresrefer to the emulations made on the frontalphotographs, principal focus of this paper, with theobjective to apply the developed program to otherpersons outside the analyzed group. The comparisonswith other photographs of the tested persons dependon their quality and on the position in which theywere taken. An assessment was made of the new positions, of the control segments. It consisted in: after aging a face, from the first age to the second one, through the use of polynomial interpolation of the control segments in the models in the young age, the new positions are then compared with the ones in the model of a relative of older age (figure 5). The processed faces were qualitatively compared with theperson’s photograph at the same age. Figure 5 - Synthetic young age model,region-marked model and aged modelAlso the eyelid hollow, very subtle falling of the eyebrow, thinning of the lips with the enlarging of the nasion and the superior part of the lip, enlargingof the front and changing in the nasolabial wrinkle.7.ConclusionsModelling biological phenomena is a great deal of work, especially when the biggest part of the information about the subject involves only qualitative data. Thus, this research developed had has a challenge in the designing of a model to represent the face aging from qualitative data.Due to its multi-disciplinary character, the developed methodology to model and emulate the face aging involved the study of several other related fields, such as medicine, computing, statistics and mathematics.The possibilities opened by the presented method and some further research on this field can lead to new proposals of enhancing the current techniques of plastic face surgery. It is possible to suggest the ideal age to perform face lifting. Once the most affected aging regions are known and how this process occurs over time. Also missing persons can be recognized based on old photographs using this technique. AcknowledgementsThe project TIN2004-07926 of Spanish Government have subsidized this work.8.

Medical University,Wroclaw,PolandAbstractObjective.Multichannel intraluminal impedance and manometry (MII-EM)is performed using ten 5-ml swallows each of a liquid and a viscous solution.However,the manometric diagnosis is based solely on results from the 10liquid swallows.The aim of this study was to compare esophageal function evaluated with 10liquid versus 10viscous swallows using combined MII-EM in patients with various symptoms.Material and methods.Consecutive studies performed in 300patients (211F,mean age 54.5years)were analyzed.The manometric diagnoses were separated into normal and abnormal manometry.MII findings included the number of complete and incomplete transits and total bolus transit time.Results.Manometric diagnosis for liquid and viscous solutions was consistent in 231(77%)and inconsistent in 69(23%)patients (p B 0.0001).Overall,the number of manometric abnormalities detected with the viscous solution (n 091,30.3%)was significantly higher (p 00.03)than that detected with the liquid solution (n 060,20%).Impedance diagnosis for the viscous and liquid solutions was consistent in 238(79.3%)patients and inconsistent in 62(20.7%)patients (p B 0.0001).Among those 62patients,36(58.1%)had complete bolus transit with the liquid solution and incomplete bolus transit with the viscous solution,and 26(41.9%)had incomplete bolus transit with the liquid solution and complete transit with the viscous solution (p 00.46).Overall,there was no significant difference between the number of bolus transit abnormalities for the liquid (n 075,25%)and viscous solutions (n 085,28.3%,p 00.47).Conclusions.Our results indicate that a viscous solution detects significantly more manometric abnormalities than a liquid solution.Impedance diagnosis has greater similarity for both the liquid and viscous solutions.Key Words:Combined multichannel intraluminal impedance and manometry,liquid solution,viscous solutionIntroductionCombined multichannel intraluminal impedance and manometry (MII-EM)provides simultaneous evaluation of bolus transit and pressure changes within the esophagus [1].The basic principles of impedance testing were first described by Silny in 1991[2].Multichannel intraluminal impedance detects the bolus movement within the esophagus without the use of radiation based on the differences in resistance to alternating currents among air,esophageal mucosa and esophageal liquid bolus [2].The ability of impedance to detect bolus move-ment within the esophagus has been validated with the use of combined video fluoroscopy and impe-dance [3Á5].MII-EM is performed using ten 5-ml swallows each of a liquid and a viscous solution.However,the manometric diagnosis is based solely on results from the 10liquid swallows.The aim of the study was to compare esophageal function evaluated with 10liquid versus 10viscous solution swallows using combined MII-EM in pa-tients with various symptoms.Materials and methodsWe analyzed a cohort of 300consecutive MII-EM studies after having excluded patients with achalasia or scleroderma examined in the Esophageal Labora-tory at the Medical University of South CarolinaCorrespondence:Donald O.Castell,MD,Division of Gastroenterology,Medical University of South Carolina,210CSB,Charleston,SC,USA.Fax:'184********.E-mail:castell@Scandinavian Journal of

was obtained from our Institutional Review Board to review and analyze these studies and to publish the information retrieved from them.All patients and subjects included in the study provided informed consent giving the investigators permission to use their data for database research studies.Esophageal function testing (EFT)using com-bined MII-EM was performed with a Koenigsberg 9-channel probe (Sandhill EFT catheter;Sandhill Scientific Inc.,Highlands Ranch,Colo.,USA).The 4.5-mm diameter catheter design has two circumfer-ential solid-state pressure sensors located at 5and 10cm from the tip and three unidirectional solid-state pressure sensors located at 15,20and 25cm.Impedance-measuring segments consist of two metal rings placed 2cm apart,centered 10,15,20and 25cm from the tip,straddling the four proximal pressure transducers.The EFT catheter was passed through the nose into the esophagus up to a depth of 60cm.The lower esophageal sphincter (LES)was identified using a station pull-through technique,and the most distal sensor was placed in the high pressure zone of the LES.Intraesophageal pressure sensors and impedance-measuring segments were thus located 5,10,15and 20cm above the LES.In the supine position,10swallows of 5ml normal saline and 10swallows of 5ml viscous material (applesauce-like consistency)were given,each 20-30s apart.The viscous material is manufactured as a food substance with a known standardized impe-dance value (Sandhill Scientific Inc.).Double swal-lowing disqualified swallows and these were repeated.Manometric parameters used to character-ize swallows included:1)distal esophageal ampli-tude (DEA)as the average of contraction amplitude 5and 10cm above the LES and 2)onset velocity of esophageal contractions in the distal part of the esophagus (i.e.contraction velocity between 10and 5cm above the LES).Impedance parameters in-cluded:1)bolus entries and exits 5,10,15and 20cm above the LES and 2)total bolus transit time (TBTT)as time elapsed between bolus entry at 20cm above the LES and bolus exit at 5cm above the LES.Bolus entry at a specific level was considered at the 50%point between the 3-s pre-swallow impedance baseline and impedance nadir during bolus pre-sence.Bolus exit was determined as the return to this 50%point on the impedance recovery curve.The bolus was considered to exit at a given level in the esophagus (i.e.5,10and 15cm above the LES)if the impedance recovered to greater than the 50%baseline value for at least 5s (Figure 1A).Conversely,the bolus was considered not to exit the given segment if it did not recover to greater thanthe 50%baseline value,or recovered for less than 5s (Figure 1B).Swallows were manometrically classified as 1)normal if contraction amplitudes 5and 10cm above the LES were each ]30mmHg and distal onset velocity was 58cm/s,2)ineffective if either of the contraction amplitudes 5and 10cm above the LES was B 30mm Hg or 3)simultaneous if contraction amplitudes 5and 10cm above the LES were each ]30mmHg and distal onset velocity was 8cm/s.Swallows were classified by MII as showing:1)complete bolus transit if bolus entry occurred at 20cm above the LES and bolus exit points were recorded in all three distal impedance measuring sites 15,10and 5cm above the LES and total bolus transit time was 515s,and 2)incomplete bolus transit if bolus exit was not identified at any of the three distal impedance measuring sites or if bolus entry was not identified at 20cm above the LES or total bolus transit time was 15s.Esophageal transit was defined by impedance as normal liquid transit if at least 80%ofliquidFigure plete bolus transit:bolus entry is present at the most proximal site and bolus exit points are present in all three distal impedance measuring segments.

diagnoses of manometric abnormalities were based on the following criteria.Ineffective esophageal motility (IEM)was defined as 50%or more manome-trically ineffective swallows [7].Nutcracker esopha-gus was defined as normal peristalsis of esophageal body with an average DEA ]220mmHg [8].Distal esophageal spasm (DES)was defined as 20%or more simultaneous contractions [9,10].Patients with a manometric diagnosis of achalasia or scleroderma esophagus were not included in this study.Statistical analysisStatistical analysis was performed using Prism soft-ware version 3.00(Graph Pad,Calif.,USA).The Mann-Whitney test,Wilcoxon’s signed-rank test or the paired t -test was used.The correlations between the number of peristaltic,ineffective and simulta-neous contractions,distal esophageal amplitude and complete and incomplete bolus transit for the liquid and viscous solutions were assessed using Spear-man’s correlation coefficient.The correlation be-tween the total bolus transit time for the liquid and viscous solution was assessed using Pearson’s corre-lation coefficient.A p -value 50.05was taken to be statistically significant.ResultsThe investigation covered 300MII-EM studies in 300patients.These included 211women with a mean age of 54.2years and 89men with a mean age of 55.2years.Of 300patients receiving liquid swallows,240(80%)had normal esophageal manometry.Based on the aforementioned criteria,60(20%)patients had esophageal manometric abnormalities:32(10.7%)had IEM,17(5.7%)had DES,10(3.3%)had nutcracker esophagus and 1patient (0.3%)had IEM and DES (Figure 2A).Applying the same manometric criteria to the viscous solution,209(69.7%)of the 300patients had normal esophageal manometry,whereas 91(30.3%)had abnormal esophageal manometry in-cluding IEM (n 049,16.3%),DES (n 034,11.3%),IEM and DES (n 01,0.3%),nutcracker esophagus (n 06,2%)and nutcracker and DES (n 01,0.3%)(Figure 2B).Overall,the number of manometric abnormalities detected with the viscous solution (n 091;30.3%)was significantly higher (p 00.03,Mann-WhitneyFigure 2.A.Distribution of manometric diagnoses with liquid swallows.B.Distribution of manometric diagnoses with viscous

solutions,and 69(23%,p B 0.0001,Mann-Whitney test)had inconsistent manometric diag-noses for both solutions.The manometric diagnoses for liquid and viscous swallows are summarized in T able I.Among 231patients with consistent manometric diagnoses for both the liquid and viscous solutions,192(64%)had normal and 39(13%)abnormal manometry (24IEM,11DES and 4nutcracker esophagus).Among 69patients with inconsistent manometric diagnoses between liquid and viscous solutions,48(69.6%)had normal manometry with the liquid solution but abnormal manometry with the viscous solution,17(24.6%)had abnormal manometry with the liquid and normal manometry with the viscous solution,and 4(5.8%)had different manometric abnormalities with the liquid and viscous solutions.In the subgroup of patients with abnormal mano-metry with either a liquid or viscous solution,the number of patients with manometric abnormalities detected with the viscous solution (n 048)was significantly higher than the number detected with the liquid solution (n 017,p 00.02,Mann-Whitney test)(T able I).Of 300patients receiving liquid swallows,225(75%)had normal and 75(25%)had abnormal bolus transit identified by impedance.In contrast,215of 300(71.7%)patients receiving viscous swallows had normal and 85(28.3%)had abnormal bolus transit.Overall,there was no significant diff-erence between the number of patients with bolus transit abnormalities for the liquid (n 075)and viscous solutions (n 085,p 00.47,Mann-Whitneytest).There were 238(79.3%)patients with con-sistent impedance diagnoses for the liquid andviscous solutions,and 62(20.7%,p B 0.0001,Mann-Whitney test)with inconsistent impedance diagnoses for the liquid and viscous solutions.Of the 238patients with a consistent impedance diagnosis,189(79.4%)had normal bolus transit and 49(20.6%)had abnormal bolus transit with both the liquid and viscous solutions.Among 62patients with inconsistent diagnoses for both the liquid and viscous solutions,36(58.1%)had complete bolus transit with the liquid but incomplete bolus transit with the viscous solution and 26(41.9%)had incomplete bolus transit with the liquid and complete bolus transit with the viscous solution (p 00.46).A statistically significant difference was found between the number of peristaltic,ineffective and simultaneous contractions,distal esophageal ampli-tude,complete and incomplete bolus transit and total bolus transit time for liquid and viscous solutions (T able II),whereas distal onset velocity of contractions did not differ between liquid and viscous swallows (T able II).DiscussionIn this study we report the results of combined impedance manometry in 300patients with various symptoms.We compared the manometric and im-pedance diagnoses of MII-EM performed with liquid and viscous swallows and we found that significantly more manometric abnormalities were detected with the viscous solution (n 091)than with the liquid solution (n 060,p 00.03).We also found that distal esophageal amplitude defining liquid swallows was significantly higher than that defining viscous swallows,whereas no differ-ences were observed in distal esophageal velocities between liquid and viscous swallows.These results are consistent with those reported by Nguyen et al.and Frieling et al.who found that liquid and viscous boluses were characterized by similar velocities [11,12].Srinivasan et al.also found that the constant volume of liquid,semisolid and solid boluses did not influence the esophageal contraction wave velocity [1].Dooley et al.reported that fluids of medium and high viscosity significantly slowed the velocity of esophageal peristaltic waves,whereas fluids of low viscosity did not influence esophageal velocity [13].In their subsequent study,Dooley et al.also found that an increase in bolus consistency caused sig-nificant reductions in the velocity of propagation of esophageal waves but did not alter the amplitude of contractions throughout the esophagus [14].T able I.Distribution of manometric diagnoses between liquid and viscous solutions in 300patients.Manometric diagnosisLiquidViscous No.of patientsNormal

c h ] A t : 18:26 17 J u l y 2007Conversely,in a recent study by Tutuian et al.it was demonstrated that liquid and viscous swallows had comparable distal esophageal amplitudes and significantly different distal esophageal velocities which were lower for viscous solutions [6].However,esophageal manometry has been vali-dated using liquid solutions and thus the mano-metric results obtained with viscous solutions should be interpreted with caution.In a study comprising healthy volunteers it was shown that 14%of patients with normal manometry with a liquid solution had an abnormal manometry when done with viscous material (IEM or DES)[6].It should be stressed that in our study 96%of patients with normal manometry with liquid and abnormal manometry with a viscous solution showed IEM (52%)or DES (44%)patterns when a viscous solution was used.The change in the manometric diagnosis observed with 10viscous swallows compared with 10liquid swallows cannot be explained by the fact that an additional 10swallows had been used as it has recently been demonstrated that an additional 10liquid swallows are likely to change the manometric diagnosis in only 2%of patients [15].However,it can be explained by the fact that viscous material may exert greater stress on the esophagus than liquid material during esophageal function testing [16].When the impedance diagnoses were analyzed,we found a similar number of impedance abnormalities detected with either the viscous (n 085)or liquid solutions (n 075,p 00.47).In our study,62(20.6%)of all analyzed patients had inconsistent impedance diagnoses between liquid and viscous solutions.There was no significant difference be-tween the number of transit abnormalities for liquid (n 026)and viscous material in this subgroup of patients (n 036,p 00.47).In our current study we also found that the number of swallows with complete bolus transit was significantly higher with liquid swallows,whereas the number of swallows with incomplete bolus transit was significantly higher during viscousswallows.This is contrary to the findings of Tutuian et al.who did not observe any difference in the number of swallows with complete and incomplete bolus transit between liquid and viscous solutions [6].In summary,whereas the results of our study indicate that a viscous solution detects more mano-metric abnormalities than a liquid solution,impe-dance diagnosis has a greater similarity for both liquid and viscous solutions.Future studies are needed to further evaluate the diagnostic value of viscous solutions in identifying manometric abnorm-alities.These studies should also find an answer to the question of whether a viscous solution is more sensitive,or too sensitive,in comparison with a liquid solution in detecting various manometric abnormalities.References[1]Srinivasan R,Vela MF,Katz PO,Tutuian R,Castell JA,Castell DO.Esophageal function testing using multichannel intraluminal impedance.Am J Physiol
