De novo transcriptome analysis of the excretory tubules of Carausius morosus (Phasmatodea) and possible functions of the midgut 'appendices'.

The Malpighian tubules are the insect excretory organs, responsible for ion and water homeostasis and elimination of nitrogenous wastes. Post-genomic assays suggest they also metabolize and detoxify xenobiotic compounds and have antimicrobial properties. The Phasmatodea have an additional, unique set of excretory organs referred to predominantly as midgut appendices.

The stick insects or phasmids (Phamsatodea) have a series of pyriform ampulles with long, thin filaments on the posterior end of their midgut referred to as the "appendices of the midgut." Found only in phasmids, their function had never been determined until now. Their similarity to the Malpighian tubules, which are ubiquitous insect organs of excretion, suggested a similar function.

Purpose: A pharmacologic analysis of intracavitary doxorubicin in the treatment of patients with intracavitary cancer dissemination was performed to further evaluate the possible benefits of this treatment modality.
Methods: Twenty appendiceal malignancy patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC), three appendiceal malignancy patients with direct extension into the pleural cavity, 20 patients with peritoneal mesothelioma and one patient with pleural mesothelioma were available for pharmacologic monitoring. After intraperitoneal or intrapleural administration of doxorubicin, plasma and peritoneal fluid samples were obtained at 15, 30, 45, 60 and 90 min in all patients.
