Diagnostic potential of salivary interleukin‐17, RANKL, and OPG to differentiate between periodontal health and disease and discriminate stable and unstable periodontitis: A case‐control study
...Show More Authors
Abstract<sec><title>Background and Aims

Limitations of the conventional diagnostic techniques urged researchers to seek novel methods to predict, diagnose, and monitor periodontal disease. Use of the biomarkers available in oral fluids could be a revolutionary surrogate for the manual probing/diagnostic radiograph. Several salivary biomarkers have the potential to accurately discriminate periodontal health and disease. This study aimed to determine the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of salivary interleukin (IL)‐17, receptor activator of nuclear factor‐κB ligand (RANKL), osteoprotegerin (OPG), RANKL/OPG for differentiating (1) periodontal health from disease and (2) stable and unstable periodontitis.

Methods

Participants with periodontitis (n = 50) and gingivitis (n = 25), both diseases represented the cases, and subjects with healthy periodontium (n = 15) as a control were recruited for this study. Periodontitis cases were further equally subdivided into stable and unstable. Whole unstimulated salivary sample were collected from all participants. Periodontal parameters including bleeding on probing, probing pocket depth, clinical attachment loss, and number of missing teeth were recorded. The protein levels of salivary IL‐17, RANKL, and OPG were determined by using enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assays technique.

Results

Salivary IL‐17, OPG, RANKL, and RANKL/OPG showed high sensitivity and specificity to differentiate periodontal health from gingivitis and periodontitis. Similar pattern was observed in discriminating stable and unstable periodontitis. Salivary IL‐17 and RANKL showed a good accuracy to differentiate gingivitis from periodontitis. However, OPG and RANKL/OPG did not exhibit enough sensitivity and specificity to differentiate the latter conditions.

Conclusion

Salivary IL‐17, RANKL, OPG, and RANKL/OPG system are potential candidates for differentiating periodontal health and disease and discriminate stable and unstable periodontitis.

Self-Efficacy and its Relationship to Psychological Adjustment among Table Tennis Players with Disabilities Special Needs
...Show More Authors

The introduction and importance of the research included that physical education and its various activities are important for the disabled. The exercise of physical activities by the disabled effectively contributes to raising their level of fitness and reducing diseases caused by lack of movement. Disabled people often suffer from psychological and social problems, and this feeling may be accompanied by a high level of anxiety, a lack of self-esteem and a loss of self-confidence. Psychological adaptation is one of the concepts of sports psychology interconnected with the psychological climate, as the process that the player seeks to meet his demands and needs. Adaptation includes the pursuit of emotional balance between the individual play

...Show More Authors

The dye–semiconductor interface between N749 sensitized and zinc semiconductor (ZnSe) has been investigated and studied according to quantum transition theory with focusing on the electron transfer processes from the N749 sensitized (donor) to the ZnSe semiconductor (acceptor). The electron transfer rate constant and the orientation energy were studied and evaluated depended on the polarity of solvents according to refractive index and dielectric constant coefficient of solvents and ZnSe semiconductor. Attention focusing on the influence of orientation energies on the behavior of electron transfer rate constant. Differentdata of rate constant was discussion with orientation energy and effective driving energy for N749-ZnSe system.
