| 영문 | muscle biopsy | 한글 | 근육생검 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 생체내에서 근육에 대한 질병의 감별진단을 위해서 실시하는 검사법. 방법은 병터가 있는 부위나 혹은 없어도 크게 활동에 지장이 없는 근육부위의 조직을 떼어 현미경적으로 검사한다. 예를 들어 신경조직의 이상으로 인한 근육병터의 경우, 근육생검을 하여 관찰해보면 이른바 “무리진 위축(grouped atrophy)”이 나타나서, 다른 병터에 의한 것과 감별이 가능하다. |

| 영문 | smooth muscle | 한글 | 민무늬근육, 평활근육 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 근육 중에서 가로무늬가 없는 근. 가로무늬근에 대응되는 말이다. 척추동물에서는 심장근 이외의 내장근은 모두가 민무늬근이다. 많은 내장장기의 벽에 분포되어 있으며, 대개 돌림층과 세로층의 두 층으로 배열되어 있다. 소화관이나 요관 같은 관모양의 구조에서는 꿈틀운동을 일으켜 내용물이 아래로 내려가게 하는 작용을 한다. 항문관, 위, 요도 등에서는 돌림층의 근육이 특히 두꺼워져 내용물이 내려가는 것을 조절하는 조임근육이 형성되어 있다. 혈관에는 돌림층만 있으며, 혈관을 수축하여 혈액을 쥐어짜는 작용을 한다. 또한 자율신경의 지배를 받으며, 우리의 의지와 관계없이 작용한다. |

| 영문 | voluntary muscle | 한글 | 수의근 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 의지의 힘으로 움직일 수 있는 근육. 골격근 외에 피부 내의 피근, 관절주머니에 부착하고 있는 관절근 등이 여기에 속한다. 수의근의 근섬유에는 가로무늬가 있으므로 가로무늬근이라고도 하나, 심장근은 가로 무늬가 있어도 수의근이 아니므로 수의근과 가로무늬근은 동의어는 아니다. 수의근의 운동은 민무늬근보다 빠르다. 수의근이라 해도 골격근 등은 근육무리로서 움직일 수 있으나, 개개의 근육은 따로따로 마음대로 움직이게 할 수 없다. 귓바퀴근육은 사람의 경우 발육이 나빠 마음대로 움직이게 하기 어렵다. |

|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 얼굴의 피부를 움직이고 이에 부착되어 있는 얼굴신경의 공급을 받는 수많은 근육을 포함하는 얼굴표정근이나 모방근. |

| cancer, prostate | Cancer of the gland that produces some of the components of semen fluid. Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of death of males in the U.S. Prostate cancer is often first detected as a hard nodule during a routine rectal examination. The PSA blood test is a screening test for prostate cancer. Diagnosis of prostate cancer is established when cancer cells are identified in prostate tissue obtained by a biopsy. In some patients, prostate cancer is life threatening. In many others, prostate cancer can exist for years without causing any health problems. Treatment options for prostate cancer include observation, radiation therapy, surgery, hormonal therapy, and chemotherapy. (12 Dec 1998) |
| glandular substance of prostate | The glandular tissue of the prostate as distinct from the stroma and capsule. Synonym: substantia glandularis prostatae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| middle lobe of prostate | The portion of the prostate lying between the urethra and the ejaculatory ducts; indistinct unless hypertrophied. Synonym: lobus medius prostatae, Morgagni's caruncle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| muscular substance of prostate | The smooth muscle in the stroma of the prostate. Synonym: substantia muscularis prostatae, musculus prostaticus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior surface of prostate | The posterior surface of the prostate. Synonym: facies posterior prostatae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| prostate | A small conical gland at the base of the male bladder and surrounding the first part of the urethra. (27 Sep 1997) |
| prostate acid phosphatase | An enzyme produced by the prostate that is elevated in some patients with prostate cancer. (12 Dec 1998) |
| prostate anatomy | <radiology> Periurethral glandular tissue, may lead to BPH, prostatic acinar tissue, central zone may lead to BPH, peripheral zone may lead to carcinoma (12 Dec 1998) |
| prostate cancer | The second most common malignancy in men. A malignant tumour of glandular origin in the prostate. Over 95% are adenocarcinomas. Most commonly seen in older men, with the age of 73 being the average age at the time of diagnosis. A family history for prostate cancer and perhaps, a diet that is high is fat are considered to be risk factors for this malignancy. Early detection is possible through annual digital rectal examinations and routine PSA testing. (27 Sep 1997) |
| prostate carcinoma | <radiology> Treatment: stages A and B: radical prostatectomy (prostate, seminal vesicles, part of bladder); some do simple prostatectomy for stage A, stage C: radiation therapy, stage D: orchiectomy and/or oestrogens stage A Tumour discovered incidentally in tissue removed for BPH, A1 Small focal involvement of one lobe, A2 Multifocal or diffuse carcinoma, Stage B Palpable carcinoma confined to prostate on digital exam, B1 Solitary nodule less than 1.5 cm, B2 Diffuse involvement of both lobes, Stage C Tumour extending through the prostate capsule; no metastasis, Stage D Metastases, usually to bone and/or pelvic lymph nodes (12 Dec 1998) |
| prostate gland | A gland in the male that surrounds the neck of the bladder and urethra. The prostate contributes to the seminal fluid. (16 Dec 1997) |
| prostate-specific antigen | <tumour marker> A simple blood test used to detect prostate cancer in men. The test measures a specific antigen normally secreted by the prostate. If cancer is developing, the prostate secretes greater amounts of prostate-specific antigen. This test is recommended for men with an enlarged prostate and an increased risk of prostate cancer. It is an enzyme that is produced by epithelial cells of both benign and malignant prostate tissue. It is an important marker for the diagnosis of prostate cancer. It is a single chain 31 kilodalton glycoprotein with 240 amino acid residues and 4 carbohydrate side chains that is a kallikrein protease. It is found in normal seminal fluid and produced by the prostatic epithelial cells. Elevated levels in blood serum are associated with prostatic enlargement and prostatic adenocarcinoma, and this allows early detection of cancer in many cases. In about 70% of cases, the rise is due to a cancerous condition. No large scale clinical studies have been completed to assess the impact of testing on survival from prostate cancer, and the medical and economic value of testing remain uncertain.

| nodular hyperplasia of prostate | Glandular and stromal hyperplasia occurring very commonly in the middle and lateral lobes of older men, forming nodules that may increasingly obstruct the urethra. Synonym: benign prostatic hypertrophy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferolateral surface of prostate | The surface of the prostate facing the body of the pubis and the pelvic diaphragm. Synonym: facies inferolateralis prostatae. (05 Mar 2000) |
