고양이 회장 종주근에서 세포막 소포를 분리하여 $Na^+$의 농도 경사에 의존하여 일어나는 $Ca^{2+}$ 이동의 특성에 대하여 연구하였다. 막소포 내부에서 외부로 향하는 $Na^+$의 농도 경사 존재시 $Ca^{2+}$의 축적이 현저히 증가하여 $Na^+$ 의존성 $Ca^{2+}$ 축적을 보였으며, 이는 외부용액에 $Na^+$ ionophore인 monensin을 처리시 소실되었다. 한편 이러한 $Ca^{2+}$ 축적의 증가 작용은 $Na^+$에 특이적이었으며 $K^+$, $Li^+$, $Rb^+$, $Cs^+$ 및 choline이온은 $Na^+$의 작용을 대치하지 못하였다. $Ba^{2+}$, $Sr^{2+}$, $Mn^{2+}$ 및 $Cd^{2+}$ 등의 2가 양이온들은 0.5 mM의 농도에서 $Na^+$ 의존성 $Ca^{2+}$ 축적을 억제하였으나 $Mg^{2+}$은 이 농도에서 억제 효과를 보이지 않았다. 막소포 외부의 pH를 pH 6.0에서 8.5까지 증가시 $Na^+$ 의존성 $Ca^{2+}$ 축적이 증가하였다. Amiloride는 0.5 mM 이상의 농도에서 $Na^+$ 의존성 $Ca^{2+}$ 축적을 유의하게 억제하였으나 diltiazem 및 vanadate는 이 농도에서 유의한 억제효과를 보이지 않았다. 동력학적으로 분석하여 측정한 $Na^+$ 의존성 $Ca^{2+}$ 축적의 $Ca^{2+}$에 대한 $K_m$ 값은 $18.2\;{\mu}M$이었으며 5초에서 측정한 $V_{max}$값은 689.7 pmole/mg protein이었다. $Ca^{2+}$ 축적에 대한 $Na^+$ 농도 경사의 효과를 동력학적으로 분석한 결과 막소포 외부에서의 $Ca^{2+}$에 대한 친화도에는 변화없이 최고 이동치만 증가시켜 전형적인 비상경적 작용 양상을 보였다. $Ca^{2+}$ 축적에 대한 $Na^+$ 농도 경사의 효과를 $Na^+$ 농도에 따라 측정하여 Hill plot을 시행한 결과 Hill coefficient가 2.52로 나타났다. 막소포 내부로 향하는 $K^+$ 농도 경사하에서 valinomycin을 처리하여 막소포 내부에 양전위를 발생시킨 결과 $Na^+$ 의존성 $Ca^{2+}$ 축적이 증가하였다. 이와 같은 결과들은 고양이 회장 평활근에서 분리한 세포막에 $Na^{+}-Ca^{2+}$ 교환기전이 존재하고 이는 다른 조직에서 밝혀진 것과 유사한 특성을 지녔으며 electrogenic한 기전으로 작용할 가능성을 시사하였다.

The contraction of rabbit basilar artery was examined as a function of changes in the $Na^+$ electrochemical gradient in order to determine the contribution of $Na^+/Ca^{2+}$ exchange to the modulation of contractility. Ouabain $(10^{-5}\;M)$ or $K^+-free$ Tyrode solution caused an increase in tonic tension even in the presence of a $Ca^{2+}$ channel blocker $(10^{-6}\;M\;verapamil)$ and an ${\alpha}-receptor$ blocker $(10^{-5}\;M\;phentolamine)$. After treatment with ouabain $(10^{-5}\;M)$, contractions were augmented by reduction of external $Na^+$ concentration. The longer the treatment with ouabain $(10^{-5}\;M)$ was, the larger the amplitude of $Na^+-free$ contracture was. $Na^+-free$ contracture wag induced by either substitution of equimolar Tris for $Na^+$ or substitution of equimolar $Li^+\;for\;Na^+$. The competition between $Na^+\;and\;Ca^{2+}$ for the $Na^+/Ca^{2+}$ exchange carrier would exist, because it was observed that contractility was dependent on the $Na^+$ electrochemical gradient or the extracellular $Ca^{2+}$ concentration (2 mM, 4 mM). Ryanodine $(10^{-7}\;M)$, the blocker of intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum, did not suppress the development of $Na^+-free$ contracture. The contractile response to norepinephrine $(10^{-6}\;M)$ was augmented by reducing the extracellular $Na^+$ concentration. The relaxation rate from caffeine-induced contraction was dependent on the extracellular $Na^+$ concentration (0 mM, 140 mM). From the above results, it could be suggested that $Na^+/Ca^{2+}$ exchange can move $Ca^{2+}$ either into or out of rabbit basilar arterial smooth muscle. $Ca^{2+}$ entry or extrusion is dependent upon the $Na^+$ electrochemical gradient. $Na^+/Ca^{2+}$ exchange plays a significant role in the regulation of contractility in rabbit basilar arterial smooth muscle.

To get a better insight into the exxistence and the role of a Na-Ca exchange mechanism in smooth muscle, the effect of Na substitution with sucrose on tension development, cellular Ca uptake and $^{45}Ca$ efflux was investigated using isolated cat ileal longitudinal muscle strips. Experimental results were summarized as follows;1) Exposure of the cat ileal longitudinal muscle to Na-free solution induced a contraction, and the magnitude of the contraction increased after incubation of the muscle strips with ouabain ($2{\times10^{-}5}$M) for 1hr. 2) Cellular Ca uptake in Na-free solution increased with an increase in Na content of the Na-loading media, and a linear relationship existed between tissue Na content and cellular Ca uptake for 10 min 3) After tissues were equilibrated in PSS containing $^{45}Ca$ for 2hr, cellular Ca uptake decreased with rising the external Na concentration. 4)Removal of medium Na or inhibition of the Na-K pump decreased the rate of $^{45}Ca$ efflux. These results strongly suggested that Na substitution increases cellular Ca uptake and decreases the rate of $^{45}Ca$ efflux via a Na-Ca exchange mechanism.

시설토양내 Na나 Cl이온의 과다집적은 직접 또는 간접적으로 작물의 생육에 장해를 준다 따라서 본 실험은 플라스틱 포트재배에서 NaCl에 의해 생육이 억제된 작물에 Ca을 토양에 시용함으로써 치유효과를 검토코자 수행되었다. 토마토(하우스 모모타로)를 공시하여 80 mM NaCl를 처리하고 Ca(NO$_3$)$_2$과 CaCl$_2$을 각각 0, 10, 20mM을 토마토 재배용 야마자키 표준양액에 첨가하여 공급하였다. NaCl집적토양에 Ca을 시용함으로써 모두 초장,생체중,건물중,착과수,과중의 생육을 촉진하였다 이러한 효과는 Ca의 농도가 높을수록 좋았고 Ca(NO$_3$)$_2$이 CaCl$_2$보다 좋았다 수량은 NaCl 집적＋Ca(NO$_3$)$_2$ 20mM 처리구에서 대조구를 제외한 여타 처리구보다 많았다. 광합성 속도는 Ca 처리구가 NaCl 처리구보다 높았으며, Ca 농도가 증가할수록 높았다. 엽록소 함량은 Ca처리구에서 대조구보다 많았으며, 새로운 잎이 오래된 잎보다 많았으나 Ca의 농도간에는 큰 차이가 없었다. Ca(NO$_3$)$_2$이나 CaCl$_2$을 처리함으로써 식물체의 Na함량은 감소하였고 N, K및 Ca함량은 증가하였다. 특히 K/Na비율이 현저하게 증가하였으나, Cl함량은 감소하였다. 이상의 결과에서 NaCl의 스트레스를 받은 작물에 Ca(NO$_3$)$_2$및 Cac12을 처리함으로써 생육이 촉진되고 수량이 증가되나 대조구보다는 저조함을 알 수 있었다.

$Na^+-Ca^{2+}$ exchange process in sarcolemmal vesicles isolated from mesenteric arteries of Wistar-Kyoto normotensive(WKY) and spontaneously hypertensive rats(SHR) was investigated. The sarcolemmal fractions isolated after homogenization and sucrose density gradient centrifugation were enriched with 5'-nucleotidase and ouabain sensitive, $K^+-dependent$ phosphatase activities. When the vesicles were loaded with $Na^+$, a time dependent $Ca^{2+}$ uptake was observed. However, very little $Ca^{2+}$ uptake was observed when the vesicles were loaded with $K^+$, or $Ca^{2+}$ uptake of the $Na^+-loaded$ vesicles was carried out in high sodium medium so that there was no sodium gradient. When the vesicles loaded with $Ca^{2+}$ by $Na^+-Ca^{2+}$ exchange were diluted into potassium medium containing EGTA, $Ca^{2+}$ was rapidly released from the vesicles. $Na^+-dependent\;Ca^{2+}$ uptake was increased in SHR compared to WKY, but passive efflux of preaccumulated $Ca^{2+}$ from the vesicles was decreased in SHR. The data indicate that the membrane vesicles of rat mesenteric arteries exhibit $Na^+-Ca^{2+}$ exchange activity. It is also suggested that changes of this process in vascular smooth muscle cell membrane of SHR may be involved in higher intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ concentration and higher basal tone in SHR.

Physiological activity of osteoblast including bone formation is known to be closely related to the increase of intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ activity($[Ca^{2+}]_i$) in osteoblast. $Ca^{2+}$ is an important intracellular messenger in diverse cellular functions, and regulation of its level is mediated by the transmembrane $Ca^{2+}$ movement via $Ca^{2+}$ channels, $Na^+-Ca^{2+}$ exchange, and by intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ movement through the intracellular stores. The purpose of this study is to investigate how the intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ is regulated in osteoblast-like cells(OLCs) by measuring $Ca^{2+}$ activity with cell imaging technique. OLCs were isolated from femur and tibia of neonatal rats, and cultured for 7 days. Cultured OLCs were loaded with a $Ca^{2+}$-sensitive fluorescent dye, Fura-2, and fluorescence images were monitored with a cooled CCD camera. The images were processed and analyzed with an image analyzing software. The results were as follows. (1) $[Ca^{2+}]_i$ of OLC decreased as the $Ca^{2+}$ concentration in the superfusing Tyrode solution was lowered. When $Na^+$ concentration in the superfusing solution was decreased, $[Ca^{2+}]_i$ increased.. These suggest that $Ca^{2+}$ flux occurs via the $Na^+-Ca^{2+}$ exchange mechanism. (2) When $Na^+$ in the superfusing solution was removed. a transient $Ca^{2+}$, increase($Ca^{2+}$ spike) was occasionally observed. However, $Ca^{2+}$ spike was not observed after adding 1 ${\mu}M$ thapsigargin. This implies that the generation of $Ca^{2+}$ spike is mediated by the release of $Ca^{2+}$ from endoplasmic reticulum(ER). (3) As the $Ca^{2+}$ concentration in the superfusing solution was raised, the frequency of 0mM $Na^+$-induced $Ca^{2+}$ spike increased, suggesting that $Ca^{2+}$-induced $Ca^{2+}$ release(CICR) mechanism exists. (4) After $[Ca^{2+}]_i$ was decreased with the superfusion of $Ca^{2+}$-free solution containing thapsigargin, the recovery of $[Ca^{2+}]_i$ with reperfusion of 2.5mM $Ca^{2+}$ solution transiently exceeded the control level, suggesting that the depletion of $Ca^{2+}$ in ER induces $Ca^{2+}$ influx from extracellular medium via store-operated $Ca^{2+}$ influx(SOCI) mechanism. (5) $[Ca^{2+}]_i$ was not affected by the superfusion of 25mM $K^+$ Tyrode solution. These results suggest that intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ activity in osteoblast is regulated by transmembrane $Ca^{2+}$ flux via $Na^+-Ca^{2+}$ exchange, $Ca^{2+}$ release from the internal store (ER) via $Ca^{2+}$-induced $Ca^{2+}$ release, and store-operated $Ca^{2+}$ influx across the cell membrane.

The interaction of $NpO^+_2$ with $Cl^-$ was studied using visible-near-infrared spectroscopy in $NaCl-Ca-Cl_2-NaClO_4$, $NaCl-NaClO_4$, and $CaCl_2-NaClO_4$ solutions with ionic strength (I) of 6M. The spectra of $NpO^+_2$ around 980 nm varied with $Cl^-$ concentration in the $NaCl-CaCl_2-NaClO_4$ and $NaCl-NaClO_4$ solutions at [$Cl^-$] ${\geq}3.5M$, but not in the $CaCl_2-NaClO_4$ solution. Assuming the 1:1 interaction between $NpO^+_2$ and $Cl^-$, the apparent equilibrium constants at I = 6M were evaluated. The presence of $Ca^{2+}$ was found to destabilize overall interaction between $NpO^+_2$ and $Cl^-$. The observations were consistent with the density functional theory calculation.

The samples of Bi2Sr2Ca1-xNaxCu2O8+y with various carrier concentration were synthesized by substituting Na for Ca ion. The superconducting properties hall coefficients and X-ray powder diffraction were measur-ed the sampled. Single phase samples were obtained for 0$\leq$x<0.3 of Bi2Sr2Ca1-xNaxCu2O8+y In the single phase the critical temperature. {{{{ { T}_{c } }} and carrier concentration increase with the increase of Na concentration pass through a maximum and then decreases. In the range of x$\geq$0.7 to the Na doped samples however we observed the metal-semiconductor transition. The c-axis seemed to decrease and a and b-axes increase with increasing Na concentration in the single phase. Decreasing of c-axis while increasing x is due to the smaller size of {{{{ {Na}^{+1 } }} ions to the {{{{ { Ca}^{+2 } }} ions. In the range of x>0.3 however the trend becomes ambiguous due to the inclusion of the 10K phase and impurity phase.

Na and Ca effects on contracture were studied in order to estimate Na/Ca exchange ratio in the isolated atrial muscle of the rabbit. All experiments were performed in tris-buffered Tyrode solution which was being aerated with 100% $O_2\;and\;kept\;at\;37^{circ}C$. To load intracellular $Na^+,\;10{-6}M$ ouabain or K-free solution were used. Contractures were induced by brier exposure of atrial muscle to Tyrode solution containing various concentrations of Ca or of Na. The results obtained were as follows: 1 ) Increasing the extracellular Ca concentration, the amplitude of contracture also increased and was maximum at 8 mM Ca-Tyrode solution. 2) The relationship between extracellular Ca concentrations and relative amplitude of the contractures showed hyperbolic pattern. By using Hill plot, the line has the slope of 1 12 which means the number of Ca binding sites of the carrier in the cell membrane. 3) The amplitude of the contracture was maximum in 0 mM Na-Tyrode solution and decreased in dose dependent manner when the Na concentration increased. 4) When the relationship between extracellular Na concentrations and the amplitude of contractures was expressed as dose-response curve, the curve showed sigmoid pattern. The line with the slope of 2.82 was obtained by using Hill plot. 5) From above all the results, it is suggested that exchange ratio of Na and Ca via Na/ca exchange system in the atrial muscle of rabbit could be 3:1 approximately.
