| 영문 | symptomatic therapy | 한글 | 대증요법 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 병의 원인을 찾아 없애기 곤란한 상황에서, 겉으로 나타난 병의 증상에 대응하여 처치를 하는 치료법. 열이 높을 때에 얼음주머니를 대거나 해열제를 써서 열을 내리게 하는 따위가 이에 속한다. |

| 영문 | radiation therapy | 한글 | 방사선요법 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | X선, γ선의 전자방사선이나 전자선, 양자선, 중성자선 등의 입자방사선을 이용해, 주로 악성 종양 치료를 목적으로 하는 치료법이다. 암세포가 주위의 정상세포보다도 방사선 감수성이 높은 점을 이용하여, 정상세포의 손상을 가능한 한 최소로 억제하면서 암세포를 파괴한다. 사용되는 방사선에는 밀봉소선원에서 나오는 γ선, 직선가속기에서 얻어지는 고에너지 X선과 전자선, 텔레코발트장치에 의한 60Co의 γ선과, 베타트론에 의한 전자선, 사이크로트론에서 얻어지는 양자선, 중성자선 등이 있다. |

| 영문 | radiation therapy | 한글 | 방사선치료 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 방사선의 살균효과나 세포를 죽이는 효과를 치료에 이용하는 방법으로, 좁은 의미로 암의 방사선치료를 의미한다. 암에 대한 방사선치료는 암세포를 죽이는데 효과가 큰 베타선을 주로 사용한다. 하지만, 이런 방사선치료는 정상세포에도 큰 영향을 끼쳐 이에 따른 기능의 장애를 가져올 수 있다. 따라서 방사선치료에 있어서는 단지 그 암세포에 대한 작용뿐만 아니라, 정상세포에 대한 작용도 고려하여 시행한다. |

| TSEB | Total Skin Electron Beam |
| simple beam | In dentistry, a straight beam that has only two supports, one at either end. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| neutral axis of straight beam | The axis perpendicular to the plane of loading of a beam at stresses within the proportional limit; it lies at the gravity axis of the cross-section of the beam. (05 Mar 2000) |
| neutral beam injection | <radiobiology> This is one of the fundamental plasma heating methods. A particle accelerator is used to create fast ion beams (the particle energies are on the order of 100 keV), the ion beam is then passed through a neutral gas region, where the ions neutralise via charge-exchange reactions with the neutral gas. The neutralised beam is then injected into a magnetically confined plasma. The neutral atoms are unaffected (not confined) by the magnetic field, but ionize as they penetrate into the plasma. The high-energy ions then transfer some of their energy to the plasma particles in repeated collisions, and heat the plasma. (09 Oct 1997) |
| electron beam | <microscopy> A stream of electrons in an electron optical system. (05 Aug 1998) |
| alpha particle | <physics> A radioactive particle made up of two protons and two neutrons, these particles are created by the decay of a radioactive material or by nuclear bombardment, and they are the same as the nucleus of a helium-4 atom. (09 Oct 1997) |
| beta particle | <physics, radiobiology> An electron or positron emitted from a radioactive nucleus during beta decay. (09 Oct 1997) |
| genes, intracisternal a-particle | A family of retrovirus-like genetic elements coding for virus-like particles found regularly in early rodent embryos (2-cell to blastocyst stage), but which, under certain circumstances such as DNA hypomethylation, are transcribed in a wide variety of neoplasms, including plasmacytomas, neuroblastomas, rhabdomyosarcomas, teratocarcinomas, and colon carcinomas. (12 Dec 1998) |
| particle | <chemistry> A tiny mass of material. Origin: L. Particula, dim. Of pars = part (18 Nov 1997) |
| particle accelerators | Devices which accelerate electrically charged atomic or subatomic particles, such as electrons, protons or ions, to high velocities so they have high kinetic energy. (12 Dec 1998) |
| particle fluence | <chemistry, radiobiology> at a given point in space, the sum of energies, the number of particles or photons incident during a given time interval on a small sphere centreed at that point, divided by the cross-sectional area of that sphere. It is identical with the time integral of the particle flux density. (16 Dec 1997) |
| charged particle | <radiobiology> A particle which carries a positive or negative electrical charge. In plasma physics, this typically means an ionised atom or molecule, or an electron. (09 Oct 1997) |
| 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) |
| proteinaceous infectious particle | A proposed pathogen composedonly of protein with no detectable nucleic acid and which is responsible for Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease and kuru inhumans and scrapie in sheep. (09 Oct 1997) |
| high energy particle generating unit | A machine capable of providing highly energised radiation for the purposes of radiotherapy treatment. (16 Dec 1997) |
| signal recognition particle | A complex between a 7S RNA and six proteins. SRP binds to the nascent polypeptide chain of eukaryotic proteins with a signal sequence and halts further translation until the ribosome becomes associated with the rough endoplasmic reticulum. One of the SRP proteins (srp54) binds GTP and in association with 7SRNA and srp19 has GTPase activity. (18 Nov 1997) |
