|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 체강내, 즉 입안, 코안, 인두강, 식도, 곧창자, 질, 자궁목, 방광 등의 내강에, 때로는 병터에 의해 생긴 공동내에 방사선을 삽입해서 치료하는 것을 말한다. 주로 종양의 치료를 목적으로 한다. |

| 영문 | hyperbaric oxygenation therapy | 한글 | 고압산소요법 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 대기압보다 높은 기압환경을 인공적으로 만들어 그 안에서 고농도의 산소를 흡입시키는 요법. 한국에서 연탄가스로 대표되는 일산화탄소의 급성중독의 치료에 많이 이용된 것으로, 보통 3대기압 정도로 가압된 고압산소실이나 고압산소탱크 속에 환자를 놓고 전신에 산소를 흡입시킨다. 고압실은 크고 작은 여러 가지가 있으며, 구조상 1실식-2실식-다실식이 있다. 가압 가스의 종류에는 산소-공기-혼합 가스등이 있고, 2~3 대기압 또는 그 이상의 고압 환경을 만든다. 임상적으로 응용범위가 넓어서 기계적 효과에 의하여 잠수부병이나 창자관마비에 의한 창자폐색 치료 등에 유효하고, 가스궤저 등의 무산소성 세균감염에서도 이용된다. 또 산소운반효과에 의하여 일산화탄소-심근경색-뇌색전증-출혈쇼크에 의한 급성의 조직산소결핍의 치료에 유효하다. 또 암의 방사선요법에 병용하면 이 요법으로 암세포의 분열이 왕성해져, 세포분열 중인 세포에 방사선을 조사함으로써 분열능력을 없애는 데 유효하여 고압산소흡입조사법이라고 한다. |

| 영문 | symptomatic therapy | 한글 | 대증요법 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 병의 원인을 찾아 없애기 곤란한 상황에서, 겉으로 나타난 병의 증상에 대응하여 처치를 하는 치료법. 열이 높을 때에 얼음주머니를 대거나 해열제를 써서 열을 내리게 하는 따위가 이에 속한다. |

| background radiation | <radiobiology> Level of environmental radation due to background sources. Background sources can be natural, such as cosmic rays and natural radioactive elements (principally radon, but including other elements such as isotopes of potassium (which people get substantial amounts of in foods like bananas)). They can also be man-made, such as from fossil-fuel combustion, everyday leakage from nuclear activities, and leftover from atmospheric nuclear weapons tests. Background radiation is usually distinguished from acute radiation, such as from medical X-rays, nuclear accidents, radioisotope therapy, or other short-term doses. The man-made contribution to background radiation is quite small compared to the natural contribution, medical uses dominate human exposure to acute radiation. (09 Oct 1997) |

(09 Oct 1997) |
| radiation damage, surface | <radiobiology> General term describing damage to the surface of the containment structure which directly interfaces with the thermonuclear plasma, includes such phenomena as radiation blistering, charged-particle (or neutron) sputtering, and spallation or exfoliation of layers of the surface.
