Multi-chromatic narrow-energy-spread electron bunches from laser wakefield acceleration with dual-color lasers
A method based on laser wakefield acceleration with controlled ionization
injection triggered by another frequency-tripled laser is proposed, which can
produce electron bunches with low energy spread. As two color pulses
co-propagate in the background plasma, the peak amplitude of the combined laser
field is modulated in time and space during the laser propagation due to the
plasma dispersion. Ionization injection occurs when the peak amplitude exceeds
certain threshold. The threshold is exceeded for limited duration periodically
at different propagation distances, leading to multiple ionization injections
and separated electron bunches. The method is demonstrated through
multi-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations. Such electron bunches may be
used to generate multi-chromatic X-ray sources for a variety of applications.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figures; accepted by PR
The JNK inhibitor SP600125 enhances dihydroartemisinin-induced apoptosis by accelerating Bax translocation into mitochondria in human lung adenocarcinoma cells
AbstractThe C-Jun N-terminal Kinase (JNK) inhibitor SP600125 is widely used to inhibit the JNK-mediated Bax activation and cell apoptosis. However, this report demonstrates that SP600125 synergistically enhances the dihydroartemisinin (DHA)-induced human lung adenocarcinoma cell apoptosis by accelerating Bax translocation and subsequent intrinsic apoptotic pathway involving mitochondrial membrane depolarization, cytochrome c release, caspase-9 and caspase-3 activation. The dynamical analysis of GFP-Bax mobility inside single living cells using fluorescence recovery after photobleaching revealed that SP600125 aggravated the DHA-induced decrease of Bax mobility and Bax translocation. These results for the first time present a novel pro-apoptotic action of SP600125 in DHA-induced apoptosis
