中国叉茎管蚜蝇属及一新种记述(双翅目:食蚜蝇科)(英语)

叉茎管蚜蝇属Tigridemyia与墨管蚜蝇属 Mesembrius和美管蚜蝇属 Mallota形态相似,过去曾被作为后二属的亚属.但此属的雄性外生殖器阳茎的射精管端部4分叉与墨管蚜蝇属和美管蚜蝇属区别明显,因此,其属地位应予肯定.作者在整理中国的食蚜蝇标本时,发现该属1新种,刺腿叉茎管蚜蝇Tigridemyia acanthogemurilis sp.nov,加之过去已记录的1种,我国已知叉茎管蚜蝇属2种.本文描述了新种,并给出了中国已知2种的检索表和形态特征图及其分布.模式标本保存于华南农业大学植保系昆虫标本室.

Liposomal delivery of a phosphodiesterase 3 inhibitor rescues low oxygen-induced ATP release from erythrocytes of humans with type 2 diabetes

ATP release from erythrocytes in response to low oxygen tension requires an increase in cAMP, the level of which is regulated by phosphodiesterase 3 (PDE3). Such release is defective in erythrocytes of humans with type 2 diabetes (DM2). This study tested a hypothesis that direct delivery of the clinically useful PDE3 inhibitor, cilostazol, to erythrocytes of humans with type 2 diabetes using liposomes would restore low-oxygen tension-induced ATP release. Cilostazol was incorporated into liposomes prepared from dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC). Liposome-delivery of cilostazol restored ATP release from DM2 erythrocytes to levels which were not different from that released from non-cilostazol treated healthy erythrocytes under the same conditions. There were no observed adverse effects of the liposomes on either healthy or DM2 erythrocytes. The directed liposomal delivery of PDE inhibitors to erythrocytes may help prevent or slow the development of peripheral vascular disease in individuals with DM2 by restoring an important physiological controller of microvascular perfusion while minimizing side effects associated with systemic delivery of some of these inhibitors.
