|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 보통 쓸개 출구의 폐색에 의한 것이며, 염증의 정도는 경도의 부종으로부터 괴저와 천공을 수반하는 감염증까지 있다. |

|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 중국 광동 지역에서 가장 먼저 발생한 전염성 호흡기 질환으로 세계보건기구(WHO)에서 ‘중증급성호흡증후군(SARS)'으로 명명했다. 섭씨 38도 이상의 고열과 기침, 호흡곤란, 저산소증, X선상의 폐렴증상 중 하나 이상의 증상이 나타나며, 두통, 근육통, 식욕부진, 피로감, 발진, 설사를 동반할 수 있다. 초기 증상은 감기와 비슷하지만 폐렴으로 발전하면 치명적일 수 있다. 현재 밝혀진 감염경로는 환자가 재채기나 기침할 때 내뿜는 침방울이고, 이것이 다른 사람의 호흡기로 들어갈 때 전염된다. 침방울이 전달되는 거리는 보통 1m로 보고 있다. 공기를 통해 전염이 가능하다는 주장이 제기됐지만 아직 확인되지 않았다. 원인균은 변종 코로나바이러스로 밝혀졌다. |

| first-set rejection | Allograft transplantation between two organisms not previously sensitised to the graft tissue. Necrosis of the graft usually occurs within 10 days of transplantation. (05 Mar 2000) |

| allogeneic bone marrow transplant | <haematology, procedure> A bone marrow transplant using marrow collected from a matched healthy donor, usually a brother or sister. The risks associated with the transplant increase with age and 50 years of age is generally regarded as the upper limit. (13 Nov 1997) |
| allogeneic transplant | <haematology, procedure> A transplant of an organ or tissue that is donated either by agenetically matched relative of the patient or by an unrelated (but genetically similar) donor. (09 Oct 1997) |
| autologous bone marrow transplant | <haematology, procedure> A process in which a patients healthy bone marrow is withdrawn and preserved. It is later injected back into the patient to replace bone marrow damaged by high doses of radiation therapy. It can then produce healthy blood cells. This treatment is used to offset the detrimental effects of high-dose radiation used in certain types of cancer. (31 Dec 1997) |
| autologous transplant | <procedure> A transplant of an organ or tissue that is taken from the same individual. A person having blood taken a little at a time several months before a surgery to replace the blood they expect to lose during that surgery is a form of autologous transplant. Likewise, the use of muscle tissue taken from a person's back to surgically reconstruct their damaged hand would be another form of autologous transplant. (02 Jan 1998) |
| bone marrow transplant | <procedure> A procedure in which a section of bone marrow is taken from one person and transplanted into another. It is used to replace bone marrow that has been damaged or diseased. It can be a treatment option in leukaemia. Acronym: BMT (16 Dec 1997) |
| Gallie's transplant | Narrow strips of the femoral fascia lata used for suture material. (05 Mar 2000) |
| corneal transplant | A surgical procedure to replace a damaged cornea with a healthy one from a donor's eye. Unlike transplantation of most other organs, the cornea tends to have a problem with transplant rejection. Corneal transplants are indicated in cases of severe corneal injury or corneal infection (corneal ulcer) which has left the cornea scarred. (27 Sep 1997) |
| hair transplant | Autografts of punch biopsies of hair-bearing skin, such as occipital scalp, onto frontal scalp in male pattern alopecia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| heart and lung transplant | A surgical procedure which replaces a diseased heart and lungs with a healthy heart and lungs from a donor. They have been used in patients with primary pulmonary hypertension and isolated severe heart and lung disease. They are not recommended for those with associated systemic disorders such as diabetes or autoimmune illness. Those with liver and/or kidney disease are also not candidates. Long-term outcomes are still being studied. (27 Sep 1997) |
| progenitor cell transplant | (stem cell transplant, blood cell transplant): The transplantion of parent cells which may give rise to progeny (daughter cells) which erve more specialised functions. Transplants may be from the peripheral blood or bone marrow. The patient himself/herself may be the donor (autologous transplant), a (genetically) compatible relative or individual (allogeneic transplant). (16 Dec 1997) |
| hepatic transplant | <surgery> Surgery to replace a disease liver with a healthy one from a donor. Over 1,000 are performed each year in the us. This procedure is technically quite difficult, since both vessels and biliary tract must be reattached to the new liver. most often indicated in those with long-term chronic hepatitis or congenital liver defects. Not usually performed in the situation of alcoholic cirrhosis or primary biliary cirrhosis. (27 Sep 1997) |
| syngeneic bone marrow transplant | <haematology, oncology, procedure> Transplant in which an identical twin is the bone marrow donor. (19 Jan 1998) |
| syngeneic transplant | <procedure> A transplant of an organ or tissue that is donated by the patients identical twin. (19 Jan 1998) |
| transplant | 1. To remove, and plant in another place; as, to transplant trees. 2. To remove, and settle or establish for residence in another place; as, to transplant inhabitants. "Being transplanted out of his cold, barren diocese of St. David into a warmer climate." (Clarendon) Origin: F. Transplanter, L. Transplantare; trans across, over + plantare to plant. See Plant.
