| 영문 | tissue biopsy | 한글 | 조직생검 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 환자의 병적인 조직의 일부를 떼어 내서 병리조직표본을 만들어서 현미경적으로 검사하는 것. 외과적 수술재료로부터 병리조직학적 검사를 하여 생체내의 병변을 추구하는 분야를 외과병리학이라고 한다. 생검에는 쐐기생검, 천자침생검, 꿰뚫기식생검, 내시경생검 외에 세포진이라고 불리우는 박리세포진이나 세척세포진 등 떨어진 세포를 도말검사하는 방법이 포함된다. |

|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 콩팥의 병변이 의심될 때 확진을 위해 주사바늘 등을 이용하여 콩팥조직을 일부 떼어내서 현미경으로 검경하는 것. |

| 영문 | punch biopsy | 한글 | 펀치 생검 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 구멍 뚫는 기구를 사용하여 얻고자 하는 조직을 뚫어서 조직 절편을 얻어내는 조작으로, 보통 산부인과에서 자궁의 조직을 얻고자 할 때 많이 사용한다. |

| core II protein, ubiquinol-cytochrome c reductase | <chemical> Member of the mitochondrial-protein-processing family; protein found in subunits of ubiquinol-cytochrome c reductase; amino acid sequence given in first source Synonym: core II protein, uccreductase (26 Jun 1999) |
|---|---|
| core I protein, ubiquinol-cytochrome c reductase | <chemical> Member of the mitochondrial-protein-processing family; protein found in subunits of ubiquinol-cytochrome c reductase; amino acid sequence given in first source Synonym: core I protein, uccreductase (26 Jun 1999) |
| core particle | The group of eight histones (protein molecules which act like spools for DNA to wrap around so that it can be compacted to fit within the nucleus) in the middle of a nucleosome (which is the histone core particle plus the small segment of DNA wrapped around it). (09 Oct 1997) |
| core plasma | <radiobiology> Hot plasma at the centre of a fusion reactor, distinguished from edge plasma and scrape-off layer (SOL). The core plasma does not directly feel the effects of the divertor or limiter in the way the edge plasma does. (09 Oct 1997) |
| core pneumonia | A form of pneumonia in which exudation is confined for a time to the central portion of a lobe or the hilar region. Synonym: core pneumonia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| post and core technique | Use of a metal casting, usually with a post in the pulp or root canal, designed to support and retain an artificial crown. (12 Dec 1998) |
| hepatitis B core antigen | <virology> (HBcAb, HBcAg), the antigen found in the core of the Dane particle (which is the complete virus) and also in hepatocyte nuclei in hepatitis B infections. (05 Mar 2000) |
| HIV core protein p24 | A major core protein of the human immunodeficiency virus encoded by the HIV gag gene. HIV-seropositive individuals mount a significant immune response to p24 and thus detection of antibodies to p24 is one basis for determining HIV infection by elisa and western blot assays. The protein is also being investigated as a potential HIV immunogen in vaccines. (12 Dec 1998) |
| disease, central core, of muscle | <anatomy> One of the conditions that produces 'floppy baby' syndrome. CCD causes hypotonia (floppiness) in the newborn baby, slowly progressive muscle weakness, and muscle cramps after exercise. Muscle biopsy shows a key diagnostic finding (absent mitochondria in the centre of many type I muscle fibres). CCD is inherited as a dominant trait. The CCD gene is on chromosome 19 (and involves ryanodine receptor-1). (12 Dec 1998) |
| abdominal wall fat pad biopsy | <investigation, procedure, surgery> The removal of a small specimen of the abdominal wall fat pad for microscopic examination. Often used in the diagnosis of amyloidosis. Performed with a local anaesthetic. (25 Jun 1999) |
| aspiration biopsy | Removal of a sample of tissue from the breast using a wide-core needle with suction. (09 Oct 1997) |
| biopsy | <investigation, procedure, surgery> A biopsy refers to a procedure that involves obtaining a tissue specimen for microscopic analysis to establish a precise diagnosis. Biopsies can be accomplished with a biopsy needle (passed through the skin into the organ in question) or by open surgical incision. See: abdominal wall fat pad biopsy, endometrial biopsy, heart biopsy, muscle biopsy, needle biopsy, nerve biopsy, open lung biopsy, pleural needle biopsy, salivary gland biopsy. (07 Apr 1998) |
| biopsy, endometrial | <investigation, procedure, surgery> A procedure by which a sample is taken of the endometrial lining of the uterus. This may be performed with or without an anaesthetic. Risks include bleeding after the procedure. This test is usually performed in the evaluation of abnormal menses, heavy menstruation or post-menopausal bleeding. It may be part of an infertility evaluation. Endometrial biopsy can reveal uterine cancer, uterine fibroids, uterine polyps and adenomyosis. Often performed in those with endometriosis as part of the evaluation. (21 Mar 1998) |
| biopsy, heart | <investigation, procedure, surgery> A procedure which involves the removal of a small specimen of cardiac muscle tissue for microscopic analysis. This is generally performed at the same time as a cardiac catheterisation or as a very similar, yet separate, procedure. A small piece of heart tissue is taken via a small forceps inserted into the cardiac catheter site (usually threaded through a vein in the neck). This test may reveal the cause of a cardiomyopathy, myocarditis, amyloidosis or a heart transplant rejection. (21 Mar 1998) |
| biopsy, muscle | <investigation, procedure, surgery> A procedure which involves the removal of a small specimen of muscle tissue for microscopic analysis. A muscle biopsy is used to distinguish between neurological and myopathic (muscle disease) disorders, identify muscular dystrophy, diagnose muscle infections and identify connective tissue disorders (necrotising vasculitis).
