| 영문 | thyroid gland | 한글 | 갑상샘 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 사람의 몸에서 가장 큰 내분비샘으로 목의 앞쪽, 아래쪽에 위치하고 있으며 2엽으로 구성되어 있다. 각 엽은 기관의 양쪽에 있으며 좁은 잘룩에 의해 앞에서 연결되어 있다. 갑상샘호르몬인 티록신(thyroxine)을 분비하고 저장하며, 필요에 따라 방출한다. 또한 갑상샘은 티로칼시토닌(thyrocalcitonin)도 분비한다. 병적인 상태에서 크기가 대개 증가하고, 일부에서는 도리어 위축되며, 통증을 나타내기도 한다. |

| 설명 | 갑상샘에 생긴 상피세포로 이루어진 악성종양물. 병리조직학적인 형태에 따라 유두상, 소포상, 역형암종 및 수질암종, 림프종 등으로 나눌 수 있다. 다양한 원인이 있으나, 일부에서는 방사선폭로에 의해 발생한다. 치료는 수술, 방사성 옥소, T4 억제요법 등이 사용된다. |

| 영문 | thyroid hormone | 한글 | 갑상샘호르몬 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 광의의 갑상선호르몬은 티록신(thyroxine(T4)), 삼요드티로닌(triiodothyronine (T3)), 티로칼시토닌(thyrocalcitonin)의 3가지중 하나를 말하나 대개의 경우 협의의 뜻으로 사용되며 이 경우 티록신과 삼요드티로닌을 지칭한다. 갑상선 호르몬은 거의 모든 몸세포에서의 바탕질대사에 관여하여 에너지생성을 증가시키고 성장 발육을 촉진한다. 이것은 뇌하수체에서 분비되는 갑상샘 자극호르몬에 의해 합성 및 분비가 촉진된다. 섭취하여 체내에 들어온 요오드가 능동운반에 의해 갑상샘세포내로 들어가 세포내에 있는 단백질인 갑상샘 글로블린과 결합하여 갑상샘호르몬으로 합성된다. 요오드가 3분자 결합한 것을 T3, 4분자 결합한 것을 T4라 부름. 분비되는 갑상선 호르몬중 90%이상이 T4이다. 혈중으로 분비된 갑상샘호르몬은 혈중 단백질과 결합하는데 대부분은 티론신결합글로블린과 결합하며 일부는 알부민과 결합한다. 전반적인 대사율을 촉진시키며 어린이에서는 성장을 촉진시킨다. 특히 어린이에서 몰단백질 합성을 촉진하며 뇌의 발달에 중요한 기능을 함으로써, 선천성 갑상샘저하증(cretinism)을 조기 발견하여 치료하지 못하면 정신지체가 유발된다. 갑상샘과다증의 증상은 체내 대사가 항진되어 식욕이 증가하나 체중이 감소하고 심장박동수가 증가하고 더위를 참지 못하며, 갑상샘기능저하증의 증상은 위와 반대로 식욕이 감소하고 체중이 증가하며 심장박동수가 감소하고 추위를 참지 못하며 피부에 단백질이 축적되어 점액부종이 유발된다. |

| 영문 | ovarian cancer | 한글 | 난소암 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 여성의 난소에 발생하는 암. 부인과종양으로서 50세 이상 여성악성종양의 약 18%를 차지한다. 종양은 대개 복부 깊숙히 위치하므로 종양이 많이 진행된 상태에서 발견되는 수가 많으며, 또한 종양의 초기에는 증상이 거의 없는 경우가 많아 더욱 조기발견이 어렵다. 아주 다양한 종류의 암이 발생하며, 예후도 각기 그 종양의 종류에 따라 다르다. 대표적인 암으로 장성낭샘암종(serous cystadenocarcinoma), 점액낭샘암종(mucinous cystadenocarcinoma), 종자세포종(germinoma 등이 있다. 치료는 수술적 치료가 선행되어야 하지만, 많이 진행되어 이미 다른 조직으로 전이가 이루어진 상태에서는 화학요법이 선택적으로 사용된다. |

| 영문 | cancer | 한글 | 암 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 끝없이 분열을 하여 혈액이나 림프관을 통하여 다른 장기에까지 전파될 수 있는 세포의 덩어리. 즉 악성 신생물을 말한다. 신생물은 악성과 양성이 있는데, 악성일 경우에는 성장이 매우 빠르고 혈액이나 림프관을 통해서 멀리 다른 떨어진 장기로 암세포의 전파가 가능하여 다른 장기에도 암을 전이하며, 양성은 천천히 자라고 다른곳으로 전이가 생기지 않는다. 암은 암종과 육종의 두 가지로 나눌 수가 있다. 암종이란 상피세포의 과도한 증식에 의한 악성신생물을 이르는 말이고 육종이란 비상피성세포 특히 중간엽세포(발생당시에 중간엽에 해당하는 조직으로 발생후에 조직사이에 분포하면서 조직을 지지하는 역할을 하는 결합조직, 혈관, 림프관 등이 된다)의 과도한 증식에 의한 악성 신생물을 이르는 말이다. |

| thyroid cancer | <oncology> A form of cancer that can occur in all age groups, particularly those who have had exposure to radiation. Papillary carcinoma is the most common form of thyroid malignancy and usually affects women of child-bearing age. Symptoms include neck swelling, goitre, horse voice, cough, haemoptysis, diarrhoea and constipation. Follicular carcinoma occurs with increased frequency in those who have had radiation exposure to the neck. Other risk factors include a family history of thyroid disease and history for goitre. Follicular carcinoma constitutes about 30% of all thyroid cancers. It has a greater rate of recurrence and metastasis than that of papillary carcinoma (the most common form of thyroid cancer). Symptoms include enlargement of the thyroid gland or neck swelling, change in voice, cough (occasionally bloody) and diarrhoea. Papillary carcinoma is the most common thyroid cancer and usually affects women of child-bearing age. Incidence: approximately in 1 in 1,000. (02 Jan 1998) |

| cancer, thyroid | Cancer of the gland in front of the neck that normally produces thyroid hormone which is important to the normal regulation of the metabolism of the body. There are four major types of cancer of the thyroid gland. Persons who received radiation to the head or neck in childhood should be examined by a doctor every 1 to 2 years. The most common symptom of thyroid cancer is a lump, or nodule, that can be felt in the neck. The only certain way to tell whether a thyroid lump is cancer is by examining the thyroid tissue obtained using a needle or surgery for biopsy. (12 Dec 1998) |

| follicular cancer of the thyroid | <oncology, tumour> A cancer of the thyroid gland that occurs with increased frequency in those who have had radiation exposure to the neck. Other risk factors include a family history of thyroid disease and history for goitre. Follicular carcinoma constitutes about 30% of all thyroid cancers. It has a greater rate of recurrence and metastasis than that of papillary carcinoma (the most common form of thyroid cancer). Symptoms include enlargement of the thyroid gland or neck swelling, change in voice, cough (occasionally bloody) and diarrhoea. (12 Nov 1997) |
| accessory thyroid | An isolated mass, or one of several such masses, of thyroid tissue, sometimes present in the side of the neck, or just above the hyoid bone (suprahyoid accessory thyroid gland), or even as low as the arch of the aorta. Synonym: glandula thyroidea accessoria, accessory thyroid, prehyoid gland, suprahyoid gland, thyroidea accessoria, thyroidea ima, Wolfler's gland. (05 Mar 2000) |

Synonym: glandula thyroidea accessoria, accessory thyroid, prehyoid gland, suprahyoid gland, thyroidea accessoria, thyroidea ima, Wolfler's gland. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anaplastic carcinoma of the thyroid | <oncology, tumour> An aggressive form and rare form of thyroid cancer that is one of the most rapidly growing and invasive types of thyroid cancer. It commonly occurs in people over 60 years of age and may cause obstruction of the trachea. The cause is unknown but exposure to radiation may be a factor. Thyroid function tests are usually normal. Hoarse voice, cough and coughing up blood are common symptoms. Examination may reveal nodules in the thyroid gland. Diagnosis is made via biopsy. Treatment is surgical with or without radiation therapy. (27 Sep 1997) |
| receptors, thyroid hormone | Proteins, usually found in the nucleus, that specifically bind thyroid hormones and regulate DNA transcription. These proteins, termed c-erba, are activated by hormones and cause differentiation of erythroid progenitor cells which irreversibly lose proliferative potential. Thus c-erba proteins act as growth suppressors. The c-erba proteins are encoded by at least two genes, c-erba alpha and c-erba beta. Each of these has two isoforms. Mutations in the ligand-binding domain of the beta form causes thyroid hormone resistance syndrome. (12 Dec 1998) |
| giant cell carcinoma of thyroid gland | A rapidly progressive undifferentiated carcinoma observed in the thyroid gland, characterised by numerous, unusually large, anaplastic cells derived from glandular epithelium of the thyroid gland. (05 Mar 2000) |
| glandular branches of inferior thyroid artery | <anatomy, artery> Branches of inferior thyroid artery to thyroid and parathyroid glands, anastomosing with branches of superior thyroid artery. Synonym: rami glandulares arteriae thyroideae inferioris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pharyngeal branch of inferior thyroid artery | <anatomy, artery> Distributed to laryngopharynx. Synonym: rami pharyngeales arteriae thyroideae inferioris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| middle thyroid vein | <anatomy, vein> It passes from the thyroid gland across the common carotid artery with the inferior thyroid arteries to empty into the internal jugular vein. Synonym: vena thyroidea media. (05 Mar 2000) |

| posterior branch of superior thyroid artery | <anatomy, artery> Branch of superior thyroid artery which descends to supply the apical portion of the ipsilateral lobe of the thyroid, continuing along the posterior border of the gland to anastomose with the inferior thyroid artery. Synonym: ramus posterior arteriae thyroideae superioris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hormone, thyroid | Chemical substance made by the thyroid gland which is located in the front of the neck. The thyroid gland uses iodine to make thyroid hormones. The two most important thyroid hormones are thyroxine (t4) and triiodothyronine (t3). (12 Dec 1998) |
| hormone, thyroid stimulating | A hormone produced by the pituitary gland (at the base of the brain) that promotes the growth of the thyroid gland (in the neck) and stimulates it to produce its thyroid hormones. Normally, the rate of thyroid hormone production is controlled by the pituitary. When there are insufficient thyroid hormones in the body for normal functioning of the cells, the pituitary releases tsh. Tsh in turn stimulates the thyroid gland to produce more thyroid hormones. In contrast, when there is excessive amount of thyroid hormones, the pituitary gland stops producing tsh. The tsh level then falls and thyroid hormone production is reduced. This mechanism maintains a relatively constant level of thyroid hormones circulating in the blood. This phenomenon is analogous to a thermostat used for temperature regulation in a room: when the temperature rises, the thermostat shuts the heater off and the room temperature falls back to normal. High levels of thyroid hormones cause the tsh level to fall, resulting in no further stimulation of the thyroid gland. In hyperthyroidism, there are continuously elevated levels of the thyroid hormones. Tsh is also known as thyrotropin. (12 Dec 1998) |
