| 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. |

| 영문 | target tissue | 한글 | 표적조직 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 호르몬에 대하여 표적이 되는 세포라는 의미로서 그 호르몬에 대한 수용체를 가지고 있는 세포. 예를 들어 인슐린은 인슐린 수용체를 가진 세포를 표적세포로 하여 이 세포에만 작용한다. |

| maternal-foetal exchange | Exchange of substances between the maternal blood and the foetal blood through the placental barrier. It excludes microbial or viral transmission. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| maternal health services | Organised services to provide health care to expectant and nursing mothers. (12 Dec 1998) |
| maternal immunity | <epidemiology> Immunity for a neonate provided by IgG antibody generated by a mother and passed across the placenta to the unborn offspring. This provides short lived protection (with a typical half life of 3-6 months) to the neonate. Also known as immunity. (05 Dec 1998) |
| maternal inheritance | Inheritance through the maternal cell line, for example through the oocyte and eggs. Mitochondrial genes are maternally inherited and various other nonMendelian forms of inheritance may also appear as maternal inheritance. (18 Nov 1997) |
| maternal mortality | Maternal deaths resulting from complications of pregnancy and childbirth in a given population. (12 Dec 1998) |
| maternal mortality rate | The number of maternal deaths related to childbearing divided by the number of live births (or by the number of live births + foetal deaths) in that year. The maternal mortality rate in the united states in 1993 (and 1994) was 0.1 per 1,000 live births, or 1 mother dying per 10,000 live births. (12 Dec 1998) |
| maternal mRNA | <molecular biology> Messenger RNA found in oocytes and early embryos that is derived from the maternal genome during oogenesis. See: masked messenger RNA. (18 Nov 1997) |
| maternal placenta | <anatomy> The part of the placenta derived from the uterine tissue. See: placenta. Synonym: maternal placenta, placenta uterina. (05 Mar 2000) |
| maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein | A plasma protein, alpha-fetoprotein (afp) is normally produced by the foetus. The level of afp in the blood serum of pregnant women provides a screening test for open neural tube defects (anencephaly and spina bifida) and for down syndrome (and other chromosome abnormalities). The maternal serum afp (msafp) tends to be unusally high with open neural tube defects and unsually low with down syndrome. (12 Dec 1998) |
| maternal welfare | Organised efforts by communities or organizations to improve the health and well-being of the mother. (12 Dec 1998) |
| phenylketonuria, maternal | Phenylketonuria in a pregnant woman. The maternal disease puts the foetus at great risk of mental retardation and other congenital diseases. (12 Dec 1998) |
| mortality rate, maternal | The number of maternal deaths related to childbearing divided by the number of live births (or by the number of live births + foetal deaths) in that year. The maternal mortality rate in the united states in 1993 (and 1994) was 0.1 per 1,000 live births, or 1 mother dying per 10,000 live births. (12 Dec 1998) |
| direct maternal death | Death resulting from obstetric complications of the gestation, labour, or puerperium, and from interventions, omissions, incorrect treatment, or a chain of events caused by any of the above, indirect maternal death, an obstetric death resulting from previously existing disease or from disease developing during pregnancy, labour, or the puerperium; it is not directly due to obstetric causes, but to conditions aggravated by the physiological effects of pregnancy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| adenoid tissue | A structure found within the lymphatic system that consists of lymphocytes within a network of fibres. (09 Oct 1997) |
| adipose tissue | <anatomy> Connective tissue that has been specialised to store fat. See: adipocyte. (25 Jun 1999) |
