| 영문 | childhood diabetes | 한글 | 소아당뇨병 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 소아에 나타나는 당뇨병. 당뇨병은 인슐린 부족으로 체내 포도당 이용이 저하되어 탄수화물-지방-단백질 대사가 장해를 일으키는 질병으로, 성인형 당뇨병과 연소형 당뇨병이 있다. 성인형은 인슐린의 상대적 부족, 즉 비만으로 인한 인슐린 감수성의 저하 결과 인슐린 필요량의 증대에서 오는 것이며, 소아형 당뇨병은 이자의 랑게르한스섬 베타(β)세포의 장해로 인한 인슐린의 절대적 결핍에서 온다. 세계보건기구(WHO)의 권장으로 15세 이전에 발병하는 당뇨병을 모두 소아당뇨병이라 하는데, 어린이에게도 간혹 성인형(또는 비만형) 당뇨병이 있으므로 소아당뇨병이라 함은 소아기에 발병하는 소아형과 성인형 당뇨병의 총칭이라 할 수 있다. 현재까지 통계에 의하면 전체인구의 약 5%는 당뇨병을 가지고 있으며, 그 가운데 약 2%가 15세 이전에 발병하는 것으로 알려졌다. |

| 영문 | diabetes insipidus | 한글 | 요붕증 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 1일 소변의 양이 4~15리터로 병적으로 증가하는 상태. 이 증상은 뇌의 바닥에 붙어 있는 호르몬을 주로 분비하는 작은 기관인 뇌하수체 후엽에서 분비되어 수분의 흡수를 촉진하여 체내에 수분의 양을 늘이는 역할을 하고 동시에 혈관을 수축시키는 작용이 있어 혈압을 상승시키는 역할도 하는 ADH(항이뇨호르몬)의 부족에 의한다. ADH가 부족될 경우에는 콩팥에서 수분의 흡수가 일어나지 않아서 많은 양의 수분이 신장을 통해 걸러져서 소변으로 나오게 된다. |

| 영문 | IDDM(Insulin-Dependent Diabetes Mellitus) | 한글 | 인슐린의존당뇨병 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | IDDM은 당뇨병의 치료에 반드시 인슐린이 필요한 경우를 말한다. 주로 원인이 이자에 있는 인슐린을 분비하는 세포의 파괴이며 이로 인해서 당뇨병의 치료제로 쓰이는 인슐린의 분비를 촉진하는 약물이 이 IDDM에서는 쓰일 수가 없고 오직 인슐린만이 치료제로 쓸 수가 있다. 전형적인 인슐린 의존형 당뇨병은 소아에서 흔히 발생하고 인슐린 분비세포의 파괴에 의해서 인슐린 분비능은 거의 없다. |

|---|---|
| digestive vacuole | Intracellular vacuole into which lysosomal enzymes are discharged and digestion of the contents occurs. More commonly referred to as a secondary lysosome. (18 Nov 1997) |
| endoscopy, digestive system | Visual examination of the digestive tract by means of a fibreoptic endoscope. It is used to localise, identify, and photograph pathologic alterations, to obtain biopsy material and perform other surgical interventions, and for delivery of medication. (12 Dec 1998) |
| hemic and lymphatic diseases | Haematologic diseases and diseases of the lymphatic system collectively. Hemic diseases include disorders involving the formed elements (e.g., erythrocyte aggregation, intravascular) and chemical components (e.g., blood protein disorders); lymphatic diseases include disorders relating to lymph, lymph nodes, and lymphocytes. (12 Dec 1998) |
| skin and connective tissue diseases | A collective term for diseases of the skin and its appendages and of connective tissue. (12 Dec 1998) |
| neonatal diseases and abnormalities | Diseases existing at birth and often before birth, regardless of causation. Of these congenital diseases, those characterised by structural deformities are termed abnormalities. (12 Dec 1998) |
| nutritional and metabolic diseases | A collective term for nutritional disorders (result of poor assimilation or utilization of food) and metabolic disorders (result of poor metabolism or inherited enzyme abnormality). (12 Dec 1998) |

| adult-onset diabetes | <disease> An often mild form of diabetes mellitus of gradual onset, usually in obese individuals over age 35; absolute plasma insulin levels are normal to high, but relatively low in relation to plasma glucose levels; ketoacidosis is rare, but hyperosmolar coma can occur; responds well to dietary regulation and/or oral hypoglycaemic agents, but diabetic complications and degenerative changes can develop. (05 Mar 2000) |
| alimentary diabetes | Glycosuria developing after the ingestion of a moderate amount of sugar or starch, which normally is disposed of without appearing in the urine, because rate of intestinal absorption exceeds capacity of the liver and the other tissues to remove the glucose, thus allowing blood glucose levels to become high enough for renal excretion to occur. Synonym: alimentary diabetes, digestive glycosuria. (05 Mar 2000) |
| alloxan diabetes | Experimental diabetes mellitus produced in animals by the administration of alloxan, which damages the insulin-producing islet cells of the pancreas. (05 Mar 2000) |
| brittle diabetes | <endocrinology> A term used when the blood glucose (sugar) level often swings quickly from high to low and from low to high and is somewhat unstable. (13 Nov 1997) |
| bronzed diabetes | A genetic disease in which the body takes in too much iron from food, this causes excess iron to be deposited in the liver and heart and other organs, eventually leading to organ failure and death. This illness is called bronze diabetes because the kidneys often fail, leading to symptoms similar to those found with diabetes mellitus, and because the deposition of iron into the skin makes the person look like he or she has an all-over tan. It used to be believed that this disease was rare and mainly affected people of Caucasian descent, butin recent years scientists have realised it is more common and affects a wide range of ethnic groups. Some believe that this genetic defect actually helps people (especially women) survive in areas where malnutrition is widespread and iron is scarce in food. Regular venesection may help people suffering from this disease. (09 Oct 1997) |
