| 설명 | 세포의 분화 및 성장에 관여하는 단백질. 성장인자는 정상 세포주기에 필수적이기 때문에 동물의 생명에 중대한 요소가 된다. 무엇보다도 성장인자는 태아의 발육을 조정하고 조직의 유지 및 보수에 중대한 역할을 하며, 혈구의 생성을 자극한다. 또한 암의 진행과정에도 관여한다. |

| 설명 | 국제방사선방호위원회(ICRP)가 1977년 권고에서 방사선방호의 목적으로 채택한 지수로, 단위선량(1 Sv)당 확률적 영향의 발생확률을 추정하여 나타낸 것이다. 생식선 선량에 대한 유전적영향의 발생률(4×10－3/Sv)이나 적색골수선량에 대한 백혈병 발생률(2×10－3/Sv)등 외에 뼈, 허파, 갑상샘, 젖샘, 기타 조직의 위험지수를 측정하여, 확률적 영향의 전신에 있어서 치사위험지수의 합계를 16.5×10－3/Sv로 하였다. 그후 ICRP는 1990년 권고에서 대상이 되는 조직과 장기를 추가하고, 수치 개정을 하면서 명칭도 각목적확률지수라고하였다. 이 권고에 의하면, 치사적 확률적 영향의 확률지수의 합계는, 일반인에 있어 60.0×10－3/Sv이다. |

| combining weight | The weight in grams of an element that combines with or replaces 1 gram of hydrogen, the atomic or molecular weight in grams of an atom or group of atoms involved in a chemical reaction divided by the number of electrons donated, taken up, or shared by the atom or group of atoms in the course of that reaction, the weight of a substance contained in 1 liter of 1 normal solution; a variant of. Synonym: combining weight, equivalent weight. (05 Mar 2000) |
| wet weight | <botany> Weight of plants after the outer surface covering of water has been removed. Wet weight is not a reliable measurement since methods to prepare plants prior to weighing vary considerably. (09 Oct 1997) |
| heparin, low-molecular-weight | <chemical> Heparin fractions with a molecular weight usually between 4000 and 6000 kD. These low-molecular-weight fractions are effective antithrombotic agents. Their administration reduces the risk of haemorrhage, they have a longer half-life, and their platelet interactions are reduced in comparison to unfractionated heparin. They also provide an effective prophylaxis against postoperative major pulmonary embolism. Pharmacological action: anticoagulant, fibrinolytic agent. (12 Dec 1998) |
| dry weight | The weight of material remaining after removing the water (e.g., after heating above 100캜). (05 Mar 2000) |
| infant, low birth weight | An infant having a birth weight of 2500 gm. (5.5 lb.) or less but infant, very low birth weight is available for infants having a birth weight of 1500 grams (3.3 lb.) or less. (12 Dec 1998) |
| infant, very low birth weight | An infant having a birth weight of 1500 grams (3.3 lb.) or less. (12 Dec 1998) |
| equivalent weight | The weight in grams of an element that combines with or replaces 1 gram of hydrogen, the atomic or molecular weight in grams of an atom or group of atoms involved in a chemical reaction divided by the number of electrons donated, taken up, or shared by the atom or group of atoms in the course of that reaction, the weight of a substance contained in 1 liter of 1 normal solution; a variant of. Synonym: combining weight, equivalent weight. (05 Mar 2000) |
| kininogen, high-molecular-weight | A plasma protein, molecular weight of 110 kD, that normally exists in plasma in a 1:1 complex with prekallikrein. Hmwk is split by plasma kallikrein to produce bradykinin. The complex is a cofactor in the activation of coagulation factor xii. The product of this reaction, xiia, in turn activates prekallikrein to kallikrein. (12 Dec 1998) |
| kininogen, low-molecular-weight | A protein, molecular weight 50 kD, located in various normal tissues. Upon cleavage by kallikrein or other kallikreins, it forms kallidin. Kallidin, in turn, is converted into bradykinin. (12 Dec 1998) |
| unit of weight | See: unit of mass. (05 Mar 2000) |
| accessory adrenal | An island of cortical tissue separate from the adrenal gland, usually found in the retroperitoneal tissues, kidney, or genital organs. Synonym: adrenal rest. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acute adrenal crisis | <endocrinology> An abrupt life-threatening state which is caused by insufficient production of cortisol by the adrenal gland. A typical finding in Addison's disease. Individuals who have been taking corticosteroids (glucocorticoids) for a prolonged period of time (weeks to months) are at risk for acute adrenal crisis if the medication is stopped abruptly. For this reason, corticosteroid medication are withdrawn slowly on a diminishing dosing schedule. Symptoms include low blood pressure (shock), weakness, headache, vomiting, fever chills, tachycardia and sweating. Treatment includes blood pressure support and intravenous hydrocortisone. (27 Sep 1997) |
| adenoma, adrenal cortical | A benign neoplasm of adrenal cortical cells resembling normal adrenal cells histologically but possessing functional autonomy. In general it does not exceed 5 cm in its largest dimension, although benign tumours exceeding 20 cm have been reported. Adrenal cortical adenomas produce hypercortisolism and hyperaldosteronism, but seldom produce adrenogenital syndromes. For the most part the prognosis after surgery is reasonably favourable.
