| high steppage gait | A gait in which the foot is raised high to avoid catching a drooping foot and brought down suddenly in a flapping manner; often seen in peroneal nerve palsy and tabes. Synonym: equine gait. (05 Mar 2000) |

| high-stomached | Having a lofty spirit; haughty. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| high tide line | The line of intersection of the land with the water's surface at the maximum height reached by a rising tide. The high tide line may be determined, in the absence of actual data, by a line of oil or scum along shore objects, a more or less continuous deposit of fine shell or debris on the foreshore or berm, other physical markings or characteristics, vegetation lines, tidal gages, or other suitable means that delineate the general height reached by a rising tide. The line encompasses spring high tides and other high tides that occur with periodic frequency but does not include storm surges in which there is a departure from the normal or predicted reach of the tide due to the piling up of water against a coast by strong winds such as those accompanying a hurricane or other intense storm.

| high wine | The strong spirit obtained by rectification or redistillation of low wine in making whisky. (05 Mar 2000) |
| immunologic high dose tolerance | Induction of tolerance by exposure to large amounts of protein antigens. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ordinary high water mark | <marine biology> That line on the shore established by the fluctuations of water and indicated by physical characteristics such as clear, natural line impressed on the bank, shelving, changes in the character of the soil, destruction of terrestrial vegetation, the presence of litter and debris, or other appropriate means that consider the characteristics of the surrounding areas.

| technology, high-cost | Advanced technology that is costly, requires highly skilled personnel, and is unique in its particular application. Includes innovative, specialised medical/surgical procedures as well as advanced diagnostic and therapeutic equipment. (12 Dec 1998) |
| familial high density lipoprotein deficiency | Familial high {density lipoprotein deficiency}; a heritable disorder of lipid metabolism characterised by almost complete absence from plasma of high density lipoproteins, and by storage of cholesterol esters in foam cells, tonsillar enlargement, an orange or yellow-gray colour of the pharyngeal and rectal mucosa, hepatosplenomegaly, lymph node enlargement, corneal opacity, and peripheral neuropathy; autosomal recessive inheritance. Synonym: familial high {density lipoprotein deficiency}, Tangier disease. Origin: G. An-, priv., + alpha, a, + lipoprotein + -aemia, blood (05 Mar 2000) |
| kininogen, high-molecular-weight | A plasma protein, molecular weight of 110 kD, that normally exists in plasma in a 1:1 complex with prekallikrein. Hmwk is split by plasma kallikrein to produce bradykinin. The complex is a cofactor in the activation of coagulation factor xii. The product of this reaction, xiia, in turn activates prekallikrein to kallikrein. (12 Dec 1998) |
| lymphoma, high-grade | One of the three major prognostic groupings for non-hodgkin lymphomas as proposed in the working formulation of the non-hodgkin's lymphoma pathologic classification project sponsored by the national cancer institute (1981). Lymphomas falling within this group have a relatively unfavorable survival potential. (12 Dec 1998) |
| acetoacetyl-acyl carrier protein synthase | <enzyme> E coli enzyme, that catalyses condensation of malonyl-acyl carrier protein plus acetyl-acyl carrier protein; not inhibited by cerulenin Registry number: EC 2.3.1.- Synonym: acetoacetyl-acp synthase (26 Jun 1999) |
| acid soluble spore protein | <molecular biology> A DNA binding protein in the spores of some bacteria, thought to stabilise the DNA in an A configuration, so protecting it from cleavage by enzymes or UV light. (18 Nov 1997) |
| acute-phase protein | <haematology> These plasma proteins (in addition to fibrinogen) increase 25% or more in response to inflammation and injury are under direct control of interleukin-6 (IL-6) (hepatocyte-stimulating factor). Other proteins which increase are ceruloplasmin, C3 and C4 which increase 50% or more; alpha-1 acid glycoprotein, alpha-1 antitrypsin, haptoglobin and fibrinogen (the major determinant of viscosity 1 ) which increase two- to fourfold; C-reactive protein (CRP) and serum amyloid A which increase several hundred-fold. Despite long-held clinical opinion to the contrary, available data indicate that neither ESR nor measurement of specific acute-phase reactants are useful in excluding underlying infection or inflammation regardless of the pretest probability. These proteins are secreted into the blood in increased or decreased quantities by hepatocytes in response to trauma, inflammation, or disease. They can serve as inhibitors or mediators of the inflammatory processes. Certain acute-phase proteins have been used to diagnose and follow the course of diseases or as tumour markers. See also: amyloid, c-reactive protein, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, viscosity. (25 Jun 1999) |
| acyl-(acyl-carrier-protein)-phospholipid acyltransferase | <enzyme> Catalyses the formation of phosphatidylethanolamine from acyl-acyl carrier protein and 2-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine Registry number: EC 2.3.1.40 Synonym: 2-acyl-gpe acyltransferase, 2-acylglycerophosphoethanolamine acyltransferase (26 Jun 1999) |
| acyl-(acyl-carrier-protein)-UDP-N-acetylglucosamine acyltransferase | <enzyme> E coli enzyme involved in lipid a biosynthesis; uses beta-hydroxymyristoyl-acyl carrier protein to form udp-3-monoacyl-n-acetylglucosamine; amino acid sequence given in second source Registry number: EC 2.3.1.129 Synonym: udp-aguatransferase, lpxa protein, udp-n-acetylglucosamine-3-acyltransferase, udp-n-acetylglucosamine 3-o-acyltransferase, udp-3-o-(r-3-hydroxymyristoyl)glucosamine-n-acyltransferase, lpxd protein, fira gene product, fira protein (26 Jun 1999) |
