Abstract
Novel nicotine products, particularly electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes), have become increasingly popular over the past decade. E-cigarettes are sometimes regarded as a less harmful alternative to tobacco smoking, and there is some evidence of their potential role as a smoking cessation aid. However, there are concerns about their health consequences, particularly in users who are not tobacco smokers, and also when used long term. Given the mode of delivery of these products, there is potential for oral health consequences. Over the past few years, there have been an increasing number of studies conducted to explore their oral health effects. In vitro studies have reported a range of cellular effects, but these are much less pronounced than those resulting from exposure to tobacco smoke. Microbiological studies have indicated that e-cigarette users have a distinct microbiome, and there is some indication this may be more pathogenic compared to nonusers. Evidence of oral health effects from clinical trials is still limited, and most studies to date have been small in scale and usually cross-sectional in design. Epidemiological studies highlight concerns over oral dryness, irritation, and gingival diseases. Interpreting data from e-cigarette studies is challenging, given the different populations that have been investigated and the continual emergence of new products. Overall, studies reveal potential oral health harms, underscoring the importance of efforts to reduce use in nonsmokers. However, in smokers who are using e-cigarettes as an aid to help them quit, the benefits of quitting tobacco smoking may outweigh any negative oral health impacts of e-cigarette use, particularly in the short term. Future research is needed to understand the clinical significance of some of the biological changes observed by following different cohorts of users longitudinally in carefully designed clinical studies and pragmatic trials supported by high-quality in vitro studies.

Abstract
Campomelic dysplasia (CD), a skeletal malformation syndrome with or without XY sex reversal, is usually caused by mutations within the SOX9 gene on distal 17q. Several CD translocation and inversion cases have been described with breakpoints outside the coding region, mapping to locations >130 kb proximal to SOX9. Such cases are generally less severely affected than cases with SOX9 coding-region mutations, as is borne out by three new translocation cases that we present. We have cloned the region extending 1.2 Mb upstream of the SOX9 gene in overlapping bacterial-artificial-chromosome and P1-artificial-chromosome clones and have established a restriction map with rare-cutter enzymes. With sequence-tagged-site-content mapping in somatic-cell hybrids, as well as with FISH, we have precisely mapped the breakpoints of the three new and of three previously described CD cases. The six CD breakpoints map to an interval that is 140-950 kb proximal to the SOX9 gene. With exon trapping, we could isolate five potential exons from the YAC 946E12 that spans the region, four of which could be placed in the contig in the vicinity of the breakpoints. They show the same transcriptional orientation, but only two have an open reading frame (ORF). We failed to detect expression of these fragments in several human and mouse cDNA libraries, as well as on northern blots. Genomic sequence totaling 1,063 kb from the SOX9 5'-flanking region was determined and was analyzed by the gene-prediction program GENSCAN and by a search of dbEST and other databases. No genes or transcripts could be identified. Together, these data suggest that the chromosomal rearrangements most likely remove one or more cis-regulatory elements from an extended SOX9 control region.

Abstract
The SOX genes form a gene family related by homology to the high-mobility group (HMG) box region of the testis-determining gene SRY. We have cloned and sequenced the SOX10 and Sox10 genes from human and mouse, respectively. Both genes encode proteins of 466 amino acids with 98% sequence identity. Significant expression of the 2.9-kb human SOX10 mRNA is observed in fetal brain and in adult brain, heart, small intestine and colon. Strong expression of Sox10 occurs throughout the peripheral nervous system during mouse embryonic development. SOX10 shows an overall amino acid sequence identity of 59% to SOX9. Like SOX9, SOX10 has a potent transcription activation domain at its C-terminus and is therefore likely to function as a transcription factor. Whereas SOX9 maps to 17q, a SOX10 cosmid has previously been mapped by us to the region 22q13.1. Mutations in SOX10 have recently been identified as one cause of Waardenburg-Hirschsprung disease in humans, while a Sox10 mutation underlies the mouse mutant Dom, a murine Hirschsprung model.

Abstract
Sensor dislocation of water perfused side-hole manometry catheters during longer periods of examination, as well as heavy expenditure on equipment and personal, are disadvantages of perfusion manometry. Such catheters have contributed substantially to the attempt to become independent of water as a transmitter medium in manometric pressure sensors for the upper gastrointestinal tract. Using the principle of the mirror interferometer of Fabry and Perot, we have developed and manufactured a fibre-optic Fabry Perot Sensor (FFP) which records local asymmetric pressure with constant sensitivity over the sensor surface area of 40 mm length. The FFP signal was compared with the pressure measured with a conventional four-side-hole perfusion catheter. The signal corresponding to long-term basal pressure of the lower oesophageal sphincter (LOS) varied over a normal range, and the signal presenting the pressure in the tubular oesophagus had a normal range determined from 15 healthy volunteers. Due to the phase modulation of its laser, the FFP is nearly independent of substantial artefacts.
