Nowadays, Rheumatic diseases are increasing more and more. So, it's important knowing the pathophysiology and extra-risk of each rheumatic disease so as to do sound underwriting. Here is brief review and long-term prognosis of some rheumatic diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, Sj$\ddot{o}$gren syndrome, antiphospholipid syndrome, systemic sclerosis, ankylosing spondylitis, Takayasu's arteritis, and Behcet syndrome.

Bacillus spp., as a type of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), were studied with regards promoting plant growth and inducing plant systemic resistance. The results of greenhouse experiments with tobacco plants demonstrated that treatment with the Bacillus spp. significantly enhanced the plant height and fresh weight, while clearly lowering the disease severity rating of the tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) at 28 days post-inoculation (dpi). The TMV accumulation in the young non-inoculated leaves was remarkably lower for all the plants treated with the Bacillus spp. An RT-PCR analysis of the signaling regulatory genes Coil and NPR1, and defense genes PR-1a and PR-1b, in the tobacco treated with the Bacillus spp. revealed an association with enhancing the systemic resistance of tobacco to TMV. A further analysis of two expansin genes that regulate plant cell growth, NtEXP2 and NtEXP6, also verified a concomitant growth promotion in the roots and leaves of the tobacco responding to the Bacillus spp.

다양한 전신질환으로 입원한 환자들의 전신질환별 구강질환의 주소와 치료내용을 조사하여 기본적인 구강질환의 실태를 파악하고자 본 연구를 시행하였는데, 전신질환으로 입원하여 구강질환의 진단과 치료를 위하여 내원한 환자를 대상으로 연구한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 주된 전신질환인 내분비, 영양 및 대사 질환의 경우 구강질환은 치은염 및 치주질환 44.9%, 타액선의 질환 22.4%, 치아우식증 12.2%, 치수 및 치근단주위의 질환 4.1%, 매몰치와 매복치, 치아경조직의 기타질환 각각 2% 순서로 나타났다. 2. 주된 구강질환인 치은 및 치주질환의 경우 전신질환은 인슐린-비의존성 당뇨 39.2%, 뇌경색 29.4%, 신경근 및 신경총장애 5.6%, 뇌내출혈 3.9%, 위의 악성 신생물, 갑상선기능항진증, 정신분열증, 알콜성 간질환, 신증후군 각각 2% 순서로 나타났다. 이상의 결과로 전신질환이 있는 환자의 구강질환과 구강질환이 있는 환자의 전신질환에 대해서는 일정부분 파악이 되었으나 향후 전신질환으로 입원한 환자의 구강질환과 전신질환과의 상관관계에 대한 연구가 이루어져야 한다고 사료된다.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is characterized by various symptoms and multi-organ involvement. Hypophosphatemia has been described in several diseases accompanied with systemic inflammation. However, hypophosphatemia has rarely been described in SLE patients, especially in those without nephritis. We report the case of a 13-year-old girl with SLE who developed hypophosphatemia without renal involvement. Her hypophosphatemia was caused by renal loss of phosphorus and persisted for 7 months. It improved as her complement levels increased. Therefore, hypophosphatemia may be related to disease activity in SLE patients.

Purpose: Systemic disease can manifest oral signs at an early phase, which may be crucial for the diagnosis and timing of treatment. This report describes two patients who presented with gingival enlargement as an early sign of acute leukemia. Methods: Two patients presented with oral symptoms including severe gingival enlargement. The progress of their symptoms was associated with underlying systemic disease. Results: The patients were transferred to the Department of Hematology and diagnosed with acute myelomonocytic leukemia. They received appropriate treatment and survived. Conclusions: Gingival enlargement can be caused by underlying systemic diseases. Accurate diagnosis and timely referral are important for preventing a fatal situation. It must be emphasized that some oral signs and symptoms may be closely correlated with systemic diseases.

Silkworm diseases are major constraint in silk cocoon production. Among silkworm diseases, white muscar-dine is highly contagious and most common in winter and rainy seasons. It is suggested that hemocytes involve in defense against invasion of Beauveria bassi-ana and systemic fungicide/chemicals prevent the proliferation of fungi in the hemolymph or preventing the growth of the fungi in the body cavity through enhancing the hemocyte mediated defense response. In the present study the influence of systemic fungicide on hematological changes in silkworms infected with Beauveria bassiana was reported. It is observed that the total hemocyte counts increased in the hemolymph up to 5 days post inoculation in systemic fungicide treated batches while in the inoculated control the increase was up to 3 days indicating the positive hemocyte mediated response in silkworm treated with systemic fungicide. After 2 days in the inoculated control as the multiplication and growth of mycelia increased, defense capacity of the silkworm was decreased. The biochemical changes were also observed in the hemolymph of silkworm infected with B. bassiana. In silkworm infected with Beauveria bassi-ana, the total protein content increased whereas total carbohydrate and total lipids decreased as the infection progresses. In the case of systemic fungicide treated batches the increase in total protein content was comparatively higher and decrease in total carbohydrate and lipids were comparatively lower than the inoculated control.

전신질환과 구강건강의 상관성에 대해 대학생들이 어느 정도 인식하고 있는지를 파악하기 위해 광주광역시 지역 3개 대학교 약 485명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 연구결과, 여자가 남자보다 높았으며, 4학년에서 가장 높게 인식하고 있었다. 주관적 건강상태, 음주여부, 흡연경험 및 운동여부는 전신질환과 구강건강의 연관성을 인식하는데 있어서 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 구강보건교육 경험이 있는 그룹에서 3.18로 인식하고 있었고, 교육내용에 대한 실천을 하는 그룹에서 3.21로 높게 인식하고 있었다. 두 군에서는 그룹 간 유의한 차이를 보였다. 다중회귀분석을 실시한 결과 전공계열 요인과 학년 요인이 전신질환과 구강건강의 연관성 인식도에 영향을 준 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 대학생들에게 구강 정기검진의 중요성과 필요성을 인식시킬 필요가 있으며, 질병의 발생은 한 가지에서 끝나는 것이 아니라 여러 가지 질병에 상관관계가 있다는 것을 인식하게 할 교육을 강화하여 시행할 필요가 있을 것이라 생각된다.

Purpose: The purpose of this retrospective study was to investigate the relationships of types of dental insurance coverage in Korea with sociodemographic characteristics and the prevalence of systemic and oral diseases, as well as to evaluate the socioeconomic impact of Korean dental insurance policies. Methods: Sample cohort data from 2006 to 2015 were obtained from the National Health Insurance Service. Patients were divided into 2 groups. The exposed group comprised patients who received insurance benefits for complete dentures, removable partial dentures, and implant care, while the control group comprised patients who did not receive these benefits. The type of insurance coverage and the prevalence of systemic and oral diseases were compared between the 2 groups. Results: Patients who received benefits in the form of complete dentures, removable partial dentures, and implants had similar sociodemographic characteristics in terms of sex, age, income quintile, and type of insurance coverage to the control group. The prevalence of hypertension, anemia, renal disease, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoporosis, asthma, and cerebral infarction was higher in the exposed group than in the control group (P<0.05). The prevalence of periodontal diseases and dental caries was also higher in the exposed group. Conclusions: Korean dental health insurance policy has been beneficial for the medical expenses of low-income and elderly people suffering from a cost burden due to systemic diseases. However, since there is a tendency to avoid invasive interventions in older patients due to the high risk of systemic diseases, insurance coverage of dentures may be more helpful from a socioeconomic perspective than coverage of dental implant treatments.
