Classification and cyclic fatigue evaluation of new kinematics for endodontic instruments

This study evaluated the effect of new motions of the motor TriAuto ZX2 on the cyclic fatigue of endodontic instruments. Vortex Blue 35.06 instruments were divided into four groups (n = 10) and tested for fatigue in a curved artificial canal (90° and 2 mm radius) using the following motions: continuous rotation (CR), Optimum Torque Reverse (OTR) set at 180° and the Optimum Glide Path (OGP), which was tested at 90° and 240°. The time to fracture (TTF) and the lengths of the fractured fragments were recorded. The mean TTF was significantly different among the groups (anova , P < 0.05): OGP 90° (213.39 ± 27.45), OTR 180° (121.24 ± 17.03), OGP 240° (45.24 ± 5.61) and CR (8.43 ± 1.27). Weibull analysis confirmed the shortest life expectancy for CR and the longest survival for OGP at 90°. The resistance to fatigue was affected by motions and pre‐set angles. The proprietary movements that are currently available for endodontic instruments were classified according to their kinematics.

Three-dimensional spinal curvature in idiopathic scoliosis

Scoliosis is usually considered as a deformity of the spine in the frontal plane, without reference to curvatures in other planes. In this study, the three-dimensional shape of the spine of 104 patients with untreated idiopathic scoliosis (5-55 degrees Cobb) was studied by means of stereo radiographs to determine relationships between curvature of the spine in the frontal plane view, in the lateral view, and in the intermediate views. There was a weak but statistically significant correlation (r = 0.2) relating greater scoliosis with lesser kyphosis or greater lordosis. In the thoracic region, the sagittal plane spinal curvature was less than that measured in a population without scoliosis (mean difference, 7.72 +/- 9.9 degrees). Seventy-four of 76 scolioses in the upper region of the spine with lateral curvature greater than 5 degrees Cobb were kyphotic. Sixty-four of 84 curves greater than 5 degrees Cobb in the lower region were lordotic. Measuring curvatures in the plane of symmetry of the rotated apical vertebra altered these ratios to 69 of 76 kyphotic in the upper region and 68 of 84 lordotic in the lower region. The plane of maximum curvature of sections of the spine with scoliosis was not related to the plane of symmetry of the rotated apical vertebra, for in kyphotic regions of the spine the rotations of these two planes were in opposite directions. In all cases, the magnitudes of the rotations were quite different, i.e., by a factor of -0.22 for curves in thoracic region and by a factor of 0.24 for curves in the lumbar region. This implies that mechanical measures to correct this spinal deformity or to prevent progression should apply different rotations to the apex from those applied to the curve as a whole and, in opposite senses, in curves in kyphotic regions. There was no evidence of an abnormality of sagittal curvature of a magnitude to implicate it in the etiology or in the treatment.     

整脊疗法对功能性消化不良患者胃动素、胃泌素的影响

目的：观察整脊疗法对功能性消化不良患者血浆胃动素（MTL）和血清胃泌素（GAS）含量的影响，并探讨整脊疗法对该病的作用机制。方法：将功能性消化不良60例患者按随机分配原则分为两组，治疗组采用整脊疗法治疗，对照组口服贝络纳治疗，观察血浆胃动素、血清胃泌素含量的变化。结果：整脊疗法能提高MTL水平（P〈0．01），降低GAS（P〈0．05），其作用与贝络纳相仿。结论：通过对功能性消化不良患者血浆胃动素、血清胃泌紊含量变化的观察，整脊疗法可能通过调节脑一肠轴的脊柱前神经节影响胃肠神经系统改变胃肠黏膜分泌MTL和GAS的含量，改善胃肠功能。     

Directional running in mice: effects of cocaine and chlorpromazine

Mice ran in a circular runway. Some received milk at every third circuit in a designated direction, clockwise or counterclockwise, in daily 1000-s sessions. Under control conditions, about 10 times as many circuits were made in the reinforced direction as in the non-reinforced direction. Cocaine (10, 30, 100 µM/kg) had little effect on the total number of circuits, but progressively increased the number in the non-reinforced direction. Chlorpromazine (1, 3, 10, 30 µM/kg) caused a monotonic decrease in total number of circuits and in number in non-reinforced direction. At the highest doses the proportion in the non-reinforced direction was increased. Mice, untrained in the runway and with no reinforcement of circuits in either direction, made many fewer total circuits than when running was reinforced and about equal numbers were in clockwise and in counterclockwise directions. Cocaine greatly increased the total number of circuits. As in the subjects whose running was reinforced, cocaine led to a much higher tendency for mice to run in a single direction. The similarities between the tendency to run in one direction after cocaine and the rotational behavior of rodents seen after cocaine and amphetamine suggest a common mechanism.     

Pain and faulty breathing: a pilot study

The purpose of this pilot study was to observe both relaxed and deep breathing patterns in a convenience sample to determine the incidence of normal versus faulty patterns of respiration. These observations were then combined with respondent answers to a survey on pain history to determine if there is any correlation between faulty breathing and musculo-skeletal pain patterns. If such a correlation can be made, then we propose that clinicians working with chronic pain patients may have improved outcomes if they address and correct faulty breathing patterns. Based on this study, it is suggested to include the evaluation and treatment of faulty respiration in the rehabilitation of chronic musculo-skeletal conditions, most notably cervical pain.     

寰枢关节旋转运动CT扫描的临床意义

目的了解不同旋转状态下CT扫描寰枢关节的影像学变化,探讨CT对寰枢关节旋转固定的诊断价值。方法分别对正常组30例、寰枢关节旋转固定患者组16例、新鲜尸体标本组5例行头部功能位CT扫描,测量并比较各组的寰齿前间隙、寰齿侧间隙及寰枢椎相对旋转角的变化。结合标本解剖观察寰枢关节不同旋转状态在SSD法重建图像上的表现。结果不同旋转状态下CT扫描寰枢关节的影像表现变化较大。旋转前后正常组与寰枢关节旋转固定患者组相比:寰齿前间隙及寰枢关节相对旋转范围变化差异有显著性(P<0·01),寰齿侧间隙的变化差异无显著性(P>0·05),寰枢关节不同旋转状态下在SSD法重建图像上表现与标本解剖观察基本一致。结论静态CT扫描不能准确诊断Ⅰ型寰枢关节旋转固定,功能位CT扫描能够准确诊断寰枢关节旋转固定。
