The attraction of male Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) to tert-pentyl 4(and 5)-chloro-trans-2-methylcyclohexanecarboxylate (or pentamedlure) was compared to its attraction to trimedlure to establish the suitability of pentamedlure as a possible alternate for trimedlure in applications that use a cotton dental-roll wick dispenser. Results from field tests with released sterile C. capitata showed that pentamedlure, applied to cotton dental roll wicks, was not only comparable to trimedlure in attractiveness but was more persistent. Batch to batch variations in isomer distribution of pentamedlure appeared to have little effect on attraction. Dose-response data showed that pentamedlure, applied at 0.02 and 0.16 ml/wick, initially caught more flies than trimedlure at comparable doses. Moreover, initial catches for pentamedlure for most dosages tested exceeded, but not significantly, initial catches for trimedlure despite a much higher load (2 ml/wick). Trimedlure initial catches within a natural population of wild C. capitata were significantly higher than pentamedlure catches at a comparable dosage (0.2 ml lure/wick). However, pentamedlure-treated wicks were 2 to 3 times more persistent than wicks treated with trimedlure.

The fatigue strength of three peripheral suture techniques for flexor tendon repair was compared by cyclic loading of repairs in a cotton dental roll tendon model. Thirty pairs of dental roll were sutured using only peripheral sutures with 6-0 polypropylene. An initial cyclic load of 5 N for 500 cycles was applied and increased by 5 N for an additional 500 cycles at each new load until rupture. The fatigue strength of an interlocking cross-stitch suture was 113% greater than a running suture and 36% greater than a standard cross-stitch suture. Interlocking the cross-stitch prevented shortening of the transverse portions under load and appears to be a useful technique for increasing the strength of the peripheral suture.

The gap formation of five core plus peripheral suture techniques for flexor tendon repair was evaluated by cyclic load testing. Fifty pairs of dental roll tendon models were sutured using six-strand Pennington modified Kessler core suture with 4-0 Polypropylene. One-half or three-fourths circumferential interlocking cross-stitch, or three complete circumferential peripheral suture techniques were performed using 6-0 Polypropylene. An initial cyclic load of 10 N for 500 cycles was applied and increased by 5 N for an additional 500 cycles at each new load until rupture. The complete circumferential interlocking cross-stitch had the greatest fatigue strength. The partial circumferential cross-stitches resulted in significantly larger gap formations at both the repaired and unrepaired sides than the complete circumferential sutures, and were also associated with early rupture. The full circumference of the cut tendon must be sutured using an interlocking cross-stitch peripheral suture to improve strength and avoid gap formation.
