Hyperglycemia, the driving function for appearance of salivary glucose is rare in children and appears mainly in adulthood. The presence of salivary glucose modifies salivary microbial composition and affects both dental caries and gingivitis. Data on salivary pH as a surrogate measure is reviewed to suggest that pH indicator paper could serve as a surrogate chairside diagnostic of hyperglycemia.

  Juniper Publishers- Open Access Journal of Dentistry & Oral Health Interleukin 17C: Is It A Host Defense Factor In The Oral Innate Immunity?- Juniper Publishers Authored by  Takahiro Chino Abstract Toll-like receptors (TLRs) expressed on oral epithelial cells (OECs) enable rapid response to microorganisms by secreting antimicrobial peptides as well as cytokines that play pivotal roles in antimicrobial immunity. Several lines of investigation have revealed that cytokines play important roles not only in tissue homeostasis, but also in the pathogenesis of infectious disease including periodontitis. OECs also express receptors for a number of different cytokines. Thus, cytokines secreted by OECs may play an autocrine role or may influence adjacent non-epithelial cells. IL-17C, a member of the IL-17 cytokine family, is mainly produced by epithelial cells. Its role in the gut- immune system has recently been proposed, however, the biological significance of...

Juniper Publishers Indexing Sites List Index Copernicus All journals may be registered in the ICI World of Journals database. The database gathers information on international scientific journals which is divided into sections: general information, contents of individual issues, detailed bibliography (references) for every publication, as well as full texts of publications in the form of attached files (optional). Within the ICI World of Journals database, each editorial office may access, free of charge, the IT system which allows you to manage your journal’s passport: updating journal’s information, presenting main fields of activity and sharing the publications with almost 200 thousand users from all over the world. The idea behind the ICI World of Journals database is to create a place where scientific journals from all over the world would undergo verification for ‘predatory journals’ practices by scientific community. The ICI World of Journals database allows journa...
