ABSTRACT
In this paper, we demonstrate experimentally for the first time (to our knowledge) the generation of spectral supercontinuum (SC) of more than two octaves with high intensity in a water jet. The spectrum of the generated SC extends from 350 to 1400 nm, with intensities up to 1011 W/cm2, and its generation efficiency is more than 50%. For the pump intensity 3.0×1012 W/cm2 in the spectral range from 400 to 800 nm, the spectrum is nearly flat (less than 40% deviation), which is useful for many applications.
ABSTRACT
This review presents the data of assessing antihypertensive efficacy and tolerability vasoselective high-lipophilic the 3d generations calcium channel blocker lercanidpine. The inhibition of the calcium ions flow through the membranes of smooth muscle cells of blood vessels causes peripheral, cerebral, renal and coronary vasodilation decreasing total peripheral vascular resistance and, consequently, blood pressure (BP) lowering and improve regional circulation. During reception of lercanidipine the level of norepinephrine remains the same even when using high doses of the drug. Negative inotropic effect does not occur therefore, lercanidipine can be used in the treatment of myocardial ischemia. Renal protection properties slow down the development and progression ofchronic renalfailure (CRF). The drug can be successfully used in patients with arterial hypertension, chronic renalfailure, diabetic and non-diabetic nephropathy. Lercanidpine also may be effectively used in the treatment of hypertension with associated clinical conditions: bronchial asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, bradiarrythmias, atrioventricular blockade 2-3 degree, sinus node dysfunction, peripheral arteries deseases with symptoms of the extremities ischemia, sleep disturbance, depression, dystonia, asthenic and cephalgic syndme in the frame of the cerebrovascular insufficiency manifestations. Therapy with lercanidpine, in addition to lowering blood pressure, can help to nephroprotection, neuroprotection, antianginal effect, the regression of left ventricular hypertrophy, improvement of lipid metabolism and glucose tolerance. With over 30 years experience in the application and modification of the molecular structure, slow the onset of action and superior long-lasting effect reception of letranidipine well-tolerated and provides a high adherence ofpatients to the treatment of hypertension.
