morrhuic acid
| cellulose acetate phthalate | A reaction product of phthalic anhydride and a partial acetate ester of cellulose; used as a tablet-coating agent. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| cellulose, oxidised | <chemical> A cellulose of varied carboxyl content retaining the fibrous structure. It is used as a local haemostatic and as a matrix for normal blood coagulation. Pharmacological action: haemostatics. Chemical name: Cellulose, 6-carboxy (12 Dec 1998) |
| cellulose synthase | <enzyme, plant biology> A enzyme which assembles sugar molecules into cellulose (a major component of the cell walls of plant cells). (13 Nov 1997) |
| cellulose tape technique | Use of a piece of transparent cellulose tape applied to a glass slide to obtain perianal samples for identification of pinworm eggs. (05 Mar 2000) |
| chromatography, deae-cellulose | A type of ion exchange chromatography using diethylaminoethyl cellulose (deae-cellulose) as a positively charged resin. (12 Dec 1998) |
| microcrystalline cellulose | Purified, partially depolymerised cellulose, prepared by treating alpha-cellulose, obtained as a pulp from fibrous plant material, with mineral acids; used as a tablet diluent. (05 Mar 2000) |
| CM-cellulose | <chemical> Polycarboxymethyl ether of cellulose. It is used as an emulsifier, thickener, suspending agent, etc., in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals; in research as a culture medium; in chromatography as a stabiliser for reagents; and therapeutically as a bulk laxative with antacid properties. Pharmacological action: cathartic, pharmaceutic aid. Chemical name: Cellulose, carboxymethyl ether, sodium salt (12 Dec 1998) |
| deae-cellulose | <chemical> Diethylaminoethylcellulose. Cellulose derivative used in chromatography, as ion-exchange material, and for various industrial applications. Chemical name: Cellulose, 2-(diethylamino)ethyl ether (12 Dec 1998) |
| O-diethylaminoethyl cellulose | Cellulose to which diethylaminoethyl groups have been attached; used in anion-exchange chromatography. Synonym: DEAE-cellulose. (05 Mar 2000) |
| O-(triethylaminoethyl) cellulose | Cellulose to which triethylaminoethyl groups have been attached; used in ion-exchange chromatography. Synonym: O-(triethylaminoethyl) cellulose. (05 Mar 2000) |
| oxidised cellulose | <surgery> Cellulosic acid in the form of an absorbable gauze which is used as a haemostatic in operations where ligation is not feasible (capillary or venous bleeding from small vessels) because cellulosic acid has a pronounced affinity for haemoglobin and produces an artificial clot. It is a sterile absorbable substance prepared by the oxidation of cotton containing not less than 16% and not more than 22% of carboxyl. See: oxycellulose. (22 Sep 2002) |
| TEAE-cellulose | Cellulose to which triethylaminoethyl groups have been attached; used in ion-exchange chromatography. Synonym: O-(triethylaminoethyl) cellulose. (05 Mar 2000) |
| electrophoresis, cellulose acetate | Electrophoresis in which cellulose acetate is the diffusion medium. (12 Dec 1998) |
| administration, oral | The giving of drugs, chemicals, or other substances by mouth. (12 Dec 1998) |
| cancer, oral | Cancer of the mouth area. A sore in the mouth that does not heal can be a warning sign of oral cancer. A biopsy is the only to know whether as abnormal area in the oral cavity is cancer. Oral cancer is caused by tobacco (smoking and chewing) and alcohol use. Surgery to remove the tumour in the mouth is the usual treatment for patients with oral cancer. (12 Dec 1998) |
