Abstract
Background Aim of this study was to investigate the influence of gutta-percha and metallic posts on the efficiency of Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) in diagnosing Vertical Root Fracture (VRF). Methods Forty-eight teeth were divided into 3 experimental and 3 control groups. The teeth of the first experimental group and the first control group received neither gutta-percha nor metal posts. The teeth of the second experimental group and the second control group were filled with gutta-percha, and the teeth of the third experimental group and the third control group were filled with the metal posts. The teeth of the experimental groups were artificially fractured. The teeth were evaluated through images taken by a Prexion scanner with a 0.1 mm resolution. Fisher’s exact test was used to measure the following values: sensitivity, false negative, specificity, false positive and accuracy for the VRF detection through the scanner. Three observers calibrated and blinded to the protocol evaluated the images. Results The inter-observer Kappa coefficient was 0.83. The presence of posts and gutta-percha reduced the sensitivity and the accuracy in detecting the VRF. Regarding to the sensitivity (p = 0.837, p = 0.304, p = 0.837 for evaluator 1, 2 and 3, respectively) and specificity (p = 0.162, p = 0.056, p = 0.062 for evaluator 1, 2 and 3, respectively), Fisher’s exact test showed no statistically significant difference among the evaluated groups. However, a significant difference was observed in relation to the accuracy in the results of evaluator 2 (p = 0.03), which showed a much lower accuracy for the post group (50 %) than for the Nonfilled group (93.8 %). Conclusions The Prexion tomograph was precise in detecting vertical root fractures and the CBCT diagnostic ability was not influenced by the presence of posts or gutta-percha.

Abstract
MSX1 has been considered a strong candidate for orofacial clefting, based on mouse expression studies and knockout models, as well as association and linkage studies in humans. MSX1 mutations are also causal for hereditary tooth agenesis. We tested the hypothesis that individuals with orofacial clefting with or without tooth agenesis have MSX1 coding mutations by screening 33 individuals with cleft lip with or without cleft palate (CL/P) and 19 individuals with both orofacial clefting and tooth agenesis. Although no MSX1 coding mutations were identified, the known 101C > G variant occurred more often in subjects with both CL/P and tooth agenesis (p = 0.0008), while the *6C-T variant was found more often in CL/P subjects (p = 0.001). Coding mutations in MSX1 are not the cause of orofacial clefting with or without tooth agenesis in this study population. However, the significant association of MSX1 with both phenotypes implies that MSX1 regulatory elements may be mutated.

Abstract
The lizard intestine capability for active transport of D-glucose has been studied in vitro at 30 degrees C. A release of glucose and fructose from intestinal tissue to the medium took place throughout the incubation period. An active transport of glucose against a concentration gradient from the mucosal to the serosal compartment was found, but in a Na+--free medium (Tris as a substitute) this process was strongly inhibited--. The oxygen uptake was 50% higher in the presence of glucose than in its absence.
