Methods Normal Sprague- Dawley rats were injected with ouabain (20μg·kg-1·d-l,i. p), digoxin (32 μg·kg-1·d-1, i. p)and normal saline once a day, respectively, and indirect systolic blood pressure was recorded once a week. Six weeks later,all the rats were killed and sodium pump α1-,α2-,and α3-subunit mRNA levels were detected in the aortic smooth muscle with reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) method. Results The systolic blood pressure of rats infused with ouabain increased significantly at the end of week 6 [l32. 6±9.0 mmHg (1 mmHg = 0. 133 kPa) vs 115. 7 ± 8. 2 mmHg, P <0.01],while no difference of blood pressure was found between digoxin group and NS group (P>0.05). The expression or sodium pump α-subunit isoforms in aortic smooth muscle was regulated by either ouabain or digox- in:both ouabain and digoxin increased α1- and α3-subunit expression, α2-subunit decreased in digoxin group but un- changed in ouabain group. Conclusion These results suggest that both ouabain and digoxin could regulate sodium pump α-subunit isoform expression, which might be related to the physiological roles or endogenous ouabain and might be responsible for the difference between the pharmacological and toxicological effects or ouabain and digoxin, including their effects on blood pressure.展开更多

Six weeks later, all of the rats were killed, and sodium pump α1-,α2-, and α3-subunit mRNA levels in the myocardium were detected with the reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) method.Results The systolic blood pressure of the rats infused with ouabain increased significantly at the end of week 6 ( 132.6 ± 9.0 mm Hg vs 115.7 ± 8.2 mm Hg, P < 0.01 ), while no difference in blood pressure was found between the digoxin group and the NS group. The expression of sodium pump α-subunit isoforms in the ventricular myocardium was regulated by either ouabain or digoxin. Both ouabain and digoxin stimulated expression of the α3-isoform, whereas o2 was uncharcged in those two groups. α1-isoform expression decreased in the ouabain group and was unchanged in the digoxin group.Conclusions These results suggest that both ouabain and digoxin could regulate sodium pump α-subunit isoform expression, which might be related to the physiological roles of endogenous ouabain and might be responsible for the difference in the pharmacological and toxicological effects of ouabain and digoxin,including their effects on blood pressure.展开更多

The source is based on sum-frequency mixing between lasers at 1064 nm and 1319 nm in a LBO crystal. The 1064 nm and 1319 nm lasers are produced from two diode side-pumped Nd:YAG master oscillator power amplifier (MOPA) laser systems, respectively. A 33 W output of 589 nm laser is obtained with beam quality factor M^2 = 1.25, frequency stability better than ±0.2 GHz and linewidth less than 0.44 GHz. A prototype 589 nm laser system is assembled, and a sodium laser guided star has been successfully observed in the field test.展开更多

A completely diode-pumped pulsed system was developed initially followed by a largely fiber-based continuous wave (CW) system operating at 589 nm achieved through a unique wavelength conversion scheme by combining 1342 and 1050 nm through a sum frequency generation process. For the CW system, single-mode laser beams at both 1342 and 1050 nm are achieved from fiber-based seed oscillators and fiber amplifiers. The output power of ~25 W at 1342 nm is achieved from a single frequency fiber Raman amplifier. Output power up to 70 W at 1050 nm is achieved from a Yb-doped fiber pre-amplifier followed by a Yb-doped fiber power amplifier. For the sum frequency generation process, optimum focusing parameters are evaluated and determined. The CW system has generated more than 20 W output power at 589 nm, a circularly polarised beam with a good beam quality, spectral linewidth ≤ 2 MHz, and the laser output locked on the sodium D2 line at 589.159 nm. The system has been successfully demonstrated at EOS Space Research Centre, Mt Stromlo, Canberra, and become the Australian first working sodium guide star laser system.展开更多
