|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 결정성의 산. 2, 6, 8-trioxypurine. 화학식은 C5H4N4O3로 사람과 동물의 오줌에서 얻을 수 있다. 핵의 대사산물의 하나. 물, 알콜, 에테르(ether)에는 거의 녹지 않으나 알칼리염의 용액에는 녹는다. 이것의 나트륨염 형태(sodium urate)가 결석의 대부분을 차지한다. 급성백혈병 치료 초기단계와 통풍(Gout)에서 혈중요산이 급격히 오를 수 있다. |

| 영문 | acid-fast staining | 한글 | 항산염색 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 항산성성질(좀처럼 염색이 되지 않으나 한번 염색이 되면 산성용액에 의해서 탈색이 되지 않는 성질)을 가진 균(예를 들면 결핵균 등)의 검출에 이용되는 염색방법. 방법에는 Ziehl-Neelson법과 Kinyoun법 등이 있다. |

| 영문 | nucleic acid | 한글 | 핵산 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 염기, 당, 인산으로 이루어진 뉴클레오티드가 긴 사슬 모양으로 중합된 고분자 물질. 유전이나 단백질 합성을 지배하는 중요한 물질로, 생물의 증식을 비롯한 생명 활동 유지에 중요한 작용을 한다. 구성 당인 오탄당이 리보오스인 리보핵산과 디옥시리보오스인 디옥시리보 핵산으로 나뉜다. 펜토스로서 리보스나 데옥시리보스 어느 한쪽만을 포함하며 전자를 리보핵산(RNA), 후자를 데옥시리보핵산(deoxyribonucleic acid, DNA)이라 부른다. 모두 4종류의 유기염기에 의해 특징지어지며 아데닌, 구아닌 및 시토신은 양자에 공통이다. 티민은 DNA에, 우라실은 RNA에 포함된다. DNA는 주로 핵에 존재하며 형질유전에 그리고 RNA는 세포질속에서 단백질 합성에 관여한다. 섭취된 핵산은 소화관에서 구성분자로까지 가수분해되어 흡수된다. |

| ZPP | Zinc Proto-Porphyrin |
| insulin, protamine zinc | <chemical> A long-acting insulin with an approximate time of onset of 7 hours and duration of action 36 hours, consisting of bovine or pork insulin reacted with zinc chloride and protamine to form a protein complex from which insulin is slowly released. Pharmacological action: hypoglycaemic agents. Chemical name: Insulin protamine zinc (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| insulin zinc suspension | A sterile buffered suspension with zinc chloride, containing 40 or 80 units per ml; the solid phase of the suspension consists of a mixture of 7 parts of crystalline insulin and 3 parts of amorphous insulin. Synonym: lente insulin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| extended insulin zinc suspension | A long-acting insulin suspension, obtained from beef, with an approximate time of onset of 7 hours and a duration of action of 36 hours. Synonym: crystalline insulin zinc suspension. (05 Mar 2000) |
| zinc | <chemistry, element> An essential trace element being an essential component of the active site of a variety of enzymes. Zinc has a high affinity for the side chains of cysteine and histidine. Zinc is present in tissues at levels of 0.1mM, but intracellular levels must be much lower. Abbreviation: Zn (18 Nov 1997) |
| zinc-65 | A radioactive zinc isotope that decays mainly by K-capture with a half-life of 243.8 days; used as a tracer in studies of zinc metabolism. (05 Mar 2000) |
| zinc acetate | <chemical> A salt produced by the reaction of zinc oxide with acetic acid. It is used as a pharmaceutic necessity for zinc-eugenol cement and also as an astringent, styptic, and formerly as an emetic. Pharmacological action: astringents, pharmaceutic aid. (12 Dec 1998) |
| zinc arsenate | <chemical> A toxic compound of zinc and arsenic which is used as an insecticide and to preserve timber from decay. (11 May 1997) |
| zinc caprylate | A topical antifungal compound. (05 Mar 2000) |
| zinc chloride | ZnCl2;formerly used as a caustic for the removal of cutaneous cancers, nevi, etc., and in weak solution in the treatment of gonorrhoea and conjunctivitis. Synonym: butter of zinc. (05 Mar 2000) |
| zinc colic | Colic resulting from chronic zinc poisoning. (05 Mar 2000) |
| zinc compounds | Inorganic compounds that contain zinc as an integral part of the molecule. (12 Dec 1998) |
| zinc D-Ala-D-Ala carboxypeptidase | <enzyme> Involved in last step of peptidoglycan synthesis; resistant to penicillin; see also record for d-alanyl-d-alanine serine peptidases Registry number: EC 3.4.17.14 Synonym: d-alanyl-d-alanine peptidase, zn(2+)g, zn(2+)g d-ala-d-ala peptidase, zn-ala-ala peptidase, zn(2+)g d-alanyl-d-alanine peptidase (26 Jun 1999) |
| zinc deficiency | : Deficiency of zinc is associated with short stature, anaemia, increased pigmentation of skin (hyperpigmentation), enlarged liver and spleen (hepatosplenomegaly), impaired gonadal function (hypogonadism), impaired wound healing, and immune deficiency. (for a genetic disorder that impairs zinc uptake, please see acrodermatitis enteropathica). According to the national academy of sciences, the recommended dietary allowances of zinc are 12 milligrams per day for women and 10 milligrams per day for men. Food sources of zinc include meat including liver, eggs, seafood, nuts and cereal. (12 Dec 1998) |
| zinc deficiency dermatitis and diarrhoea | A genetic disease called acrodermatitis enteropathica is characterised by the simultaneous occurrence of skin inflammation (dermatitis) and diarrhoea. The skin on the cheeks, elbows and knees and tissue about the mouth and anus are inflammed. There is also balding of the scalp, eyebrows and lashes, delayed wound healing and recurrent bacterial and fungal infections due to immune deficiency. The key laboratory finding is an abnormally low blood zinc level reflecting impaired zinc uptake. Oral treatment with zinc is curative. (12 Dec 1998) |
| zinc excess | Too much zinc can cause gastrointestinal irritation (upset stomach), interfere with copper absorption and cause copper deficiency, and (like too little zinc) cause immune deficiency. According to the national academy of sciences, the recommended dietary allowances of zinc are 12 milligrams per day for women and 10 milligrams per day for men. (12 Dec 1998) |
