| 설명 | 혈액이 응고되는 것을 방지하는 항응고제를 넣은 혈액을 침강용 유리관에 넣어 가만히 세워 두었을 때 적혈구가 가라앉는 속도를 이르는 말이다. 1918년 스웨덴의 병리학자 파레우스의 창안에 의한 것이다. 측정방법으로 여러 가지가 있는데, 국제표준법으로는 1973년 웨스터그렌법의 1시간법이 선정되었으며, 1977년 그것을 개정하여 각국에서 쓰도록 권장하고 있다. 1시간 후 침강용 유리관 위쪽의 혈장기둥의 높이를 mm로 읽어, 그것을 적혈구침강의 1시간값으로 한다. 만약 혈장과 적혈구의 경계가 선명하지 못한 경우, 적혈구의 밀도가 그 이하에서는 일정하다고 여겨지는 곳의 눈금을 읽어 적혈구침강의 1시간값으로 한다. 측정 때의 실내온도는 18~25도로 한다. 일반적으로 이보다 온도가 높은 경우는 혈침반응이 촉진되며, 낮은 경우는 늦어진다. 정상 값은 2~10mm(남자), 3~15mm(여자)이며 15세 이하의 어린이, 50세 이상의 고령자에서는 약간 높다. |

| minimal lethal dose | <pharmacology> The minimal dose of a toxic substance or infectious agent that is lethal, as assayed in various experimental animals (e.g., the least amount of diphtheria toxin that, on an average, kills a 250-g guinea pig within 96 hours after subcutaneous inoculation). When followed by a subscript (generally "MLD50"), denotes the minimal dose that is lethal to a certain percentage (e.g., 50%) of animals so assayed, LD05. See: lethal dose. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| minimal reacting dose | The minimal dose of a toxic substance causing a reaction, as manifested in the skin of a series of susceptible test animals; the assay is based on the development of a characteristic, minimal but definite, "standard," focal inflammation (congestion and oedema, induration, degenerative changes, and desquamation of epidermal cells). (05 Mar 2000) |
| cumulative dose | The total dose resulting from repeated exposures to radiation of the same part of the body or of the whole body. (05 Mar 2000) |
| curative dose | The quantity of any substance required to effect the cure of a disease or that will correct the manifestations of a deficiency of a particular factor in the diet, effective dose used with therapeutically applied compounds. Synonym: therapeutic dose. (05 Mar 2000) |
| preventive dose | The smallest amount of any substance that will prevent occurrence of symptoms of a disease or the consequences of a lack of a particular factor in the diet. (05 Mar 2000) |
| high dose tolerance | The induction of tolerance by exposure to high doses of antigen. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sensitizing dose | In experimental anaphylaxis, the antigenic inoculum that renders an animal susceptible (sensitive) to anaphylactic shock following a subsequent inoculum (shocking dose) of the same antigen (anaphylactogen). (05 Mar 2000) |
| shocking dose | In experimental anaphylaxis, the inoculum of antigen that causes anaphylactic shock in an animal sensitised by a previous inoculum (sensitizing dose) of the same antigen. (05 Mar 2000) |
| skin dose | The quantity of radiation delivered to the skin surface. (05 Mar 2000) |
| daily dose | The total amount of a remedy that is to be taken within 24 hours. (05 Mar 2000) |
| depth dose | The dose of radiation at a distance beneath the surface, including secondary radiation or scatter, in proportion to the dose at the surface. (05 Mar 2000) |
| divided dose | A definite fraction of a full dose; given repeatedly at short intervals so that the full dose is taken within a specified period, usually one day. Synonym: fractional dose. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dose | 1. <pharmacology> A quantity to be administered at one time, such as a specified amount of medication. 2. <radiobiology> A general term denoting the quantity of radiation or energy absorbed. For special purposes it must be appropriately qualified. If unqualified, it refers to absorbed dose. Unit of absorbed dose is the rad. The SI unit is the gray (1 Gy = 1 J kg-1 = 100 R). Origin: Gr. Dosis = a giving (16 Dec 1997) |
| dose-escalation | A preliminary clinical trial in which the amount of the drug is either periodically increased or increased with each new trial arm that is added. Used to determine how a drug is tolerated in people. (09 Oct 1997) |
| dose fractionation | Adminstration of the total dose of radiation (radiation dosage) in parts, at timed intervals. (12 Dec 1998) |
