The Right

The incidence of entrainment between respiratory and stepping frequencies has been investigated in exercising cats. Stainless steel wire electrodes were surgically implanted in the right hemidiaphragm, quadriceps, and hamstring muscles of six cats. Electromyograms were recorded while the cats were at rest or walking on a treadmill at speeds between 0.31 and 1.67 m/s (6 km/h). Autocorrelation of diaphragmatic activity showed cats to have two respiratory patterns: regular (maintained periodicity in the autocorrelogram) or irregular (flat autocorrelogram). Autocorrelation of quadriceps or hamstring activity revealed stepping frequency. Cross correlation of diaphragmatic vs. quadriceps or hamstring activities revealed the presence of entrainment between respiration and stepping. In four cats, entrainment was either very weak or absent, but the other two cats clearly showed entrainment of the two activities, even in the absence of a regular respiratory rhythm. In conclusion, at speeds up to 1.67 m/s, respiratory frequency is not tightly locked to stepping frequency in cats; however, the occurrence of entrainment in some instances clearly indicates the existence of neural circuitry linking these two pattern generators.

Significant Difference

The archwire is generally used in fixed appliances for orthodontic treatment to correct dental malocclusion. However, it is interesting to know whether general purpose stainless steel wire could replace commercial orthodontic archwire in orthodontic practice for economic reasons. The purpose of this study was to determine the bending properties of general purpose stainless steel wire compared with commercial orthodontic stainless steel wires after forming as an archwire for orthodontic use. The samples used in this study were 90 general purpose and 45 commercial (Highland) round stainless steel wires in 0.016, 0.018, and 0.020 sizes (30 general purpose and 15 commercial wires for each size). All 15 general purpose stainless steel wires with different sizes were formed into orthodontic archwire with a Universal Testing Machine. All samples were tested (three-point bending test) for mechanical properties. The results showed no significant difference between general purpose and commercial orthodontic wires in size 0.016 for 0.1 mm offset bending force, 0.2% yield strength, and springback. Although many mechanical properties of general purpose wires differed from commercial wires, their values conformed to other previous studies within the range of clinical acceptance. In conclusion, orthodontic formed general purpose round stainless steel wires had statistically different (p <0.05) mechanical properties from commercial orthodontic stainless steel wires (Highland) but the mechanical properties were acceptable to use in orthodontic treatment.
