    Scaphoideus yingjiangensis Wang & Li, 2004 (Figs. 3 E, J, O, 18A–I) Scaphoideus yingjiangensis Wang & Li, March 2004: 16; Li et al., 2011: 242. Scaphoideus spiculatus Viraktamath & Mohan, June 2004: 39, figs. 186-192. syn. nov. Body length (including tegmen): Male 4.8–5.0mm; Female 5.0– 5.2mm. Coloration and structure (Fig. 3 E, J, O) as in S. bilineus. Male genitalia. Pygofer very long, about 3 times width, gradually narrowed to round caudal margin, with two subapical tuft of long macrosetae in addition to scattered macrosetae on apical half. Subgenital plate very long and broad basally, lateral margin slightly incurved at basal 1/3, with several macrosetae near base. Styles short, broad basally, preapical lobe developed, apical process long and curved laterally. Connective Y-shaped, arms as long as stem, connective processes robust at base, tapered to apex, slightly curved dorsally. Aedeagus with well developed dorsal apodeme, shaft strongly dorsoventrally compressed, with apical margin rounded, gonopore apical. Material examined. 2♂♂, Guangxi, Napo, Defu, 5. iv.1998, Huang Fusheng (IOZ). Distribution. China (Guangxi, Yunnan), India. Remarks. This species was described based on two male specimens collected from Yunnan Province. Viraktamath and Mohan (2004) described Scaphoideus spiculatus from India, which is treated here as a junior synonym of S. yingjiangensis Wang & Li based on examination of the paratype male and additional material. Although the aedeagus of the holotype and paratype of S. spiculatus differ in the shape, there are a few specimens sharing variation in the form of the dorsal apodeme and curvature of the shaft collected from China and hence the synonymy.Published as part of Wen, Chao, Chen, Fangying & Dai, Wu, 2017, A review of the leafhopper genus Scaphoideus (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Deltocephalinae) from Guangxi of China, with description of one new species, pp. 351-377 in Zootaxa 4247 (4) on pages 373-374, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4247.4.1, http://zenodo.org/record/43880

    The signaling mechanism of endothelial NMDA receptors in cerebral vasodilation

    No full text
    The NMDA receptors have been discovered to be crucial regulators in vasodilatory signaling pathway. Activation of NMDA receptors expressed by neurons causes calcium entry, which contributes to the increase in nNOS activity and NO synthesis. Previous research done by our group has shown that there is a functional linkage between brain endothelial NMDA receptors and nitric oxide production. However, whether eNMDA receptors influence Ca2+ levels and whether there is mechanistic linkage between Ca2+ entry and eNOS activity/NO production in brain endothelial cell is still not well understood. Here, I found while glutamate has no effect on Ca2+ levels in adult mouse primary endothelial cells, NMDA receptor agonist, D-serine, significantly enhanced intracellular Ca2+ levels at physiological dose. These effects were mitigated by NMDAR channel blocker, MK-801, and NMDAR-associated D-serine/Glycine binding cite antagonist, DCKA. On the basis of our published data that eNMDARs trigger nitric oxide generation in primary brain endothelial cultures from neonatal (14-21 days old) mouse model, I developed an adult brain endothelial cell culture system and found that there was a smaller contribution of endothelial NMDA receptors to nitric oxide effects in these older cells. D-serine alone did not result in nitric oxide generation as high as 1000 M. A heavy disconnect between Ca2+ response and NO generation mediated by eNMDARs suggest a novel eNMDAR-related vasodilatory signaling pathway may exist in endothelial cells that is independent of the eNOS/NO effects.March 202

Coloration and structure (Figs. 2 B, G, L, 3 E) as in S. coniceus and as described by Matsumura (1914) and Kamitani & Hayashi (2013), but forewings with three reflexed cross veins between outer anteapical cell and costal margin, basal reflexed vein basad of outer anteapical cell (Figs. 2 B, G). Male genitalia. Pygofer elongate, narrowly rounded posteriorly, with two tufts of long macrosetae subapically in addition to scattered short macrosetae(Figs. 10 A, B). Subgenital plate triangular and broad basally, apical margin rounded, with 2–3 macrosetae at base and fine hair along lateral margin (Fig. 10 C). Style small, with well developed preapical lobe, apical process moderately long, curved laterally, abruptly tapered distally to acute apex, ventrolateral surface serrate, a few setae adjacent to lateral lobe on dorsal and ventral surface (Fig. 10 C, D). Connective Y-shaped, stem longer than arms; connective processes converge at the base then parallel, each paraphysis slight widen from base to apical 1 / 2, and then tapered to acute apex (Fig. 10 C, E). Aedeagus with well developed dorsal apodeme, shaft straight and compressed laterally, apex curved posteriorly, with a pair of long lateral processes at apex directed laterobasally, and two parallel ridges along dorsal margin near apex (Fig. 10 F, G). Female genitalia. Caudal margin of seventh sternum medially produced with a notch in the middle, the edge of the notch blackish (Fig. 4 C, G). Other characteristics (Figs. 14 G–I, 15 G–I, 16 G–I) as in S. albovittatus Matsumura. Measurements. Male 4.2–4.8mm long, 0.9–1mm wide across eyes. Female 4.4–5.1mm, 1.0- 1.1mm wide across eyes. Material examined. 1 &male;, Zhejiang Prov., Tianmu Mountain, 26.vii. 2011, Wang Yang; 1 &female;, Zhejiang Prov., Tianmu Mountain, 25.vii. 2005, Duan Yani; 1 &male;, Shaanxi, Taibai, Kexieguan, 12.vii. 1984, Chai Yonghui; 1 &male;, Anhui, Guniu Mountain, 11.viii. 2007, Peng Lingfei; 1 &male;, Jiangxi, Jinggang Mountain, 8.viii. 2004, Wei Cong and Yang Meixia; 1 &female;, Hunan Prov., Chenzhou, Suxian Mountain, 18.viii. 1985, Zhang Yalin and Chai Yonghui; 1 &male;, 7 &female;, Hubei Prov., Dabie Mountain, Taohuachong, 25.vii. 2014, Chen Fangying; 1 &female;, Guangxi Prov., Huaping, 27.viii. 2000, Liu Zhanjiang. Distribution. China (Anhui, Guangxi, Guizhou, Henan, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, Shaanxi, Sichuan, Xizang, Yunnan, Zhejiang); Japan. Remarks. This species was described by Matsumura (1914) from Japan. Ishihara (1961), Okada (1977) and Kamitani & Hayashi (2013) redescribed it and gave the illustrations, respectively. From the illustrations of Kamitani and Hayashi (2013), the aedeagal shaft of S. kumamotonis has a pair of processes on the subapical dorsal surface shorter than the apical pair. But, based on the figures of Okada (1977), Chen et al. (2012) and in our examination of specimens, these dorsal "processes" are parallel ridges along the dorsal margin near the apex.Published as part of Chen, Fangying, Dai, Wu & Zhang, Yalin, 2015, Review of species of the Scaphoideus albovittatus group (Hemiptera, Cicadellidae, Deltocephalinae) from China, with a checklist and distribution summary for Chinese species in the genus, pp. 334-358 in Zootaxa 3904 (3) on page 348, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3904.3.2, http://zenodo.org/record/23353
