|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 전신순환을 거친 산소분압이 낮은 정맥혈이 오른심방으로 들어와 오른심실을 거쳐 폐동맥을 통하여 폐로 가서 가스 교환을 한 후, 산소분압이 높은 동맥혈이 되어 폐정맥을 타고 다시 좌심방으로 돌아오는 혈액의 순환과정을 이르는 말이다. |

| cystic fibrosis | <chest medicine> A generalised disorder of infants, children and young adults, in which there is widespread dysfunction of the exocrine glands, characterised by signs of chronic pulmonary disease (due to excess mucus production in the respiratory tract), pancreatic deficiency, abnormally high levels of electrolytes in the sweat and occasionally by biliary cirrhosis. There is an ineffective immunologic defense against bacteria in the lungs. Pathologically, the pancreas shows obstruction of the pancreatic ducts by amorphous eosinophilic concretions, with consequent deficiency of pancreatic enzymes, resulting in steatorrhoea and azotorrhoea and intestinal malabsorption. The degree of involvement of organs and glandular systems may vary greatly, with consequent variations in the clinical picture. Inheritance: autosomal recessive. (13 Nov 1997) |

| cystic fibrosis antigen | Now known to be MRP 8. See: calgranulins. (18 Nov 1997) |
| cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator | Gene believed to be defective in cystic fibrosis. Gene encodes a chloride channel, homologous to a family of proteins that actively transport small solutes in an ATP dependent manner (ABC transporters). The regulator protein is a protein which is embedded in the cell membrane and acts as a channel for certain ions to be transported into or out of the cell. The disease cystic fibrosis is caused by a defect in the gene for this protein. (09 Oct 1997) |
| progressive massive fibrosis | <radiology> Progressive massive fibrosis, silicosis (properly conglomerate nodules, not progressive massive fibrosis), coal worker's pneumoconiosis, density (conglomerate mass) in upper lobe, retracts toward hilum, leaves emphysematous change (bullae) at lung periphery (12 Dec 1998) |
| subadventitial fibrosis | Fibrosis in the outer media of arteries, usually the renal arteries of young women, where it causes segmental stenosis and hypertension; a variety of fibromuscular dysplasia. Synonym: subadventitial fibrosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nodular subepidermal fibrosis | A slowly growing benign skin nodule consisting of poorly demarcated cellular fibrous tissue enclosing collapsed capillaries with scattered haemosiderin-pigmented and lipid macrophages. They are common, usually about 1 cm in diameter and occur in the dermis. Simple excision is always curative. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Symmers' fibrosis | A characteristic pipe-shaped fibrosis formed around hepatic portal veins in some cases of long-continued heavy infection with Schistosoma mansoni; thought to be induced by the presence of large numbers of schistosome eggs in the hepatic tissues. Synonym: Symmers' clay pipestem fibrosis, Symmers' fibrosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| oral submucous fibrosis | A precancerous condition of the oral mucosa and upper aerodigestive tract characteristically in a native of India. (05 Mar 2000) |
| endocardial fibrosis | Scarring or collaginosis of the endocardium. Synonym: endocardial sclerosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| endomyocardial fibrosis | A disease characterised by thickening of the endocardium, and frequently the inner third of the myocardium. The left ventricle is most frequently involved. Cardiomegaly and congestive heart failure may also be present. (12 Dec 1998) |
| fibrosis | The formation of fibrous tissue, fibroid or fibrous degeneration (18 Nov 1997) |
| leptomeningeal fibrosis | A fibrous reaction within the subarachnoid space; sometimes a sequel to infectious or chemical meningitis. See: adhesive arachnoiditis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cerebral sclerosis, diffuse | Diffuse progressive degeneration of the white matter of the brain, accompanied by mental deterioration, severe motor disturbances, and early death. (12 Dec 1998) |
| goiter, diffuse toxic | Graves' disease, the most common cause of hyperthroidism, too much thyroid hormone. (12 Dec 1998) |
| chronic diffuse sclerosing osteomyelitis | A proliferative reaction of bone to a low-grade infection of the jaws; most often seen in middle-aged or older black women as extensive, often bilateral radio-opacities of the mandible and maxilla. (05 Mar 2000) |
