|---|---|---|---|
| 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. |

| adrenal cortex injection | An obsolete treatment involving the parenteral administration of extract of the adrenal cortex; formerly used in treatment of Addison's disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| bolus injection | <procedure> The injection of a drug (or drugs) in a high quantity (called a bolus) at once, the opposite of gradual administration (as in intravenous infusion). (18 Nov 1997) |
| regular insulin injection | A preparation that may contain 20, 40, 80, 100, or 500 USP insulin units per ml, although the trend is toward standardizing all insulin preparations at 100 units per ml; it is administered subcutaneously, occasionally intravenously, and has a rapid onset of action, has a brief duration (5 to 7 hours), and is compatible for mixing with long-acting insulin preparations; used in the treatment of diabetic acidosis and insulin coma. Synonym: regular insulin injection. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Ringer's injection | A sterile solution of sodium chloride, potassium chloride, and calcium chloride, containing in each 100 ml between 820 and 900 mg of sodium chloride, between 25 and 35 mg of potassium chloride, and between 30 and 37 mg of calcium chloride; used intravenously as a fluid and electrolyte replenisher. (05 Mar 2000) |
| water for injection | Water purified by distillation for the preparation of products for parenteral use. (05 Mar 2000) |
| collagen injection | Correction of superficial soft tissue deformities, acne scars, or age-related skin changes by injection (implantation) of collagen; bovine collagen preparations are commonly used. Prior intradermal testing is necessary to exclude hypersensitivity. (05 Mar 2000) |
| selective injection | Injection of contrast medium following selective catheterization of a branch artery or vein for angiography. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sensitizing injection | An injection that sensitises a person so that subsequent exposure to the antigen (allergen) evokes an allergic response. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hypodermic injection | The administration of a remedy in liquid form by injection into the subcutaneous tissues. Synonym: hypodermic. (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) |
| subcutaneous injection | The delivery of a medication into the subcutaneous tissues via injection (for example insulin). (27 Sep 1997) |
| depot injection | An injection of a substance in a vehicle that tends to keep it at the site of injection so that absorption occurs over a prolonged period. (05 Mar 2000) |
| injection | <procedure> The act of forcing a liquid into a part, as into the subcutaneous tissues, the vascular tree or an organ. Compare: infusion. Origin: L. Injectio, from inicere = to throw into (18 Nov 1997) |
| injection flask | A denture flask designed so as to permit the forced flow of denture base material from a reservoir into the mold after the flask is closed and during curing. (05 Mar 2000) |
| injection mass | Coloured solutions or suspensions injected into the vascular system to render vessels and their walls prominent; useful for gross preparations and for study under low magnification after clearing; most fluids contain warm gelatin and the colouring materials are carmine, Berlin blue, or carbon.
