| 영문 | tissue | 한글 | 조직 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 특정 구조와 기능을 갖는 세포 집단. 세포 사이에는 다소간 세포간질이 들어 있다. 세포간질에는 글리코사미노글리칸, 히드록시아파타이트와 같은 기질과 아교질섬유와 같은 섬유가 발견된다. 조직성상은 구성세포와 세포간질의 종류와 양에 의해 결정된다. 조직은 상피조직, 지지조직, 근육조직, 신경조직으로 대별되며, 상피조직은 세포간질을 거의 갖지 않으며, 지지조직은 결합조직이나 뼈조직과 같이 세포간질이 풍부한 것이 많다. |

| 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. |

| 영문 | subcutaneous tissue, subcutis | 한글 | 피하조직 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 피부에서 진피의 아랫부분을 말함. 여기에는 지방조직이 많다. 기능은 열의 격리, 충격흡수, 영양저장소 등이다. |

| 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) |

| nodular iritis | Iritis with aggregations of round cells in the iris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nodular leprosy | A benign, stable, and resistant form of the disease in which the lepromin reaction is strongly positive and in which the lesions are erythematous, insensitive, infiltrated plaques with clear-cut edges. Synonym: nodular leprosy, smooth leprosy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nodular lymphoma | <tumour> A malignant lymphoma arising from lymphoid follicular B-cells which may be small or large, growing in a nodular pattern. Synonym: follicular lymphoma, giant follicular lymphoblastoma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nodular melanoma | <tumour> Primary cutaneous melanoma characterised by dermal invasion extending to the lateral margins of epidermal involvement or ulceration. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nodular nonsuppurative panniculitis | relapsing febrile nodular nonsuppurative panniculitis |
| nodular non-X histiocytosis | A rare recurring generalised eruption in adults of flesh coloured or erythematous papules remaining localised to the skin and consisting of dermal nodules of mononuclear histiocytes that do not stain for lipid. Synonym: nodular non-X histiocytosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nodular opacity | A solitary, round, circumscribed shadow found in the lung on chest radiograph; causes include granuloma, primary or metastatic carcinoma, benign tumour, vascular malformation. Synonym: coin lesion of lungs. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nodular regenerative hyperplasia | A rare condition in which nodules of hyperplastic hepatocytes develop without fibrosis or general loss of lobular architecture. Synonym: nodular regenerative hyperplasia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nodular scleritis | Firm, immobile, single or multiple areas of localised scleritis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nodular sclerosis | <cardiology, pathology> The progressive narrowing and hardening of the arteries over time. This is known to occur to some degree with aging, but other risk factors that accelerate this process have been identified. These factors include: high cholesterol, high blood pressure, smoking, diabetes and family history for atherosclerotic disease. (27 Sep 1997) |
| 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) |
| nodular syphilid | Origin: NL. So called from its gummy contents See Gum. <medicine> A kind of soft tumour, usually of syphilitic origin. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| nodular transformation of the liver | A rare condition in which nodules of hyperplastic hepatocytes develop without fibrosis or general loss of lobular architecture. Synonym: nodular regenerative hyperplasia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nodular tuberculid | A type of panniculitis characterised histologically by the presence of granulomas, vasculitis, and necrosis. It is traditionally considered to be the tuberculous counterpart of nodular vasculitis, but is now known to occur without tuberculous precedent. It is seen most commonly in adolescent and menopausal women, is initiated or exacerbated by cold weather, and typically presents as one or more recurrent erythrocyanotic nodules or plaques on the calves. The nodules may progress to form indurations, ulcerations, and scars. (12 Dec 1998) |
