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

| myelencephalon-specific serine protease | <enzyme> Specifically expressed in the nervous system; plays a role in normal homeostasis and response of spinal cord to injury. Registry number: EC 3.4.21.- Synonym: myelencephalon-specific protease, msp enzyme (26 Jun 1999) |

| pregnancy-specific beta 1-glycoprotein | A glycoprotein with the electrophoretic mobility of a beta-1 globulin. It is produced by the placental trophoblast and secreted into the maternal bloodstream during pregnancy. It can be detected 18 days after ovulation and its concentration in plasma rises steadily until, at the end of gestation, it reaches 200 mg/ml. It has been proposed as a measure of placental function for fertility control and is a candidate for an early pregnancy test. (12 Dec 1998) |
| prenylated peptide-specific endoprotease | <enzyme> Cleaves c-terminal tripeptide from prenylated protein having c-terminal sequence caax; race is rac and a-factor converting enzyme with same activity Registry number: EC 3.4.14.- Synonym: prenylated protein endoprotease, race enzyme, isoprenylated protein endopeptidase, isoprenylated protein endoprotease (26 Jun 1999) |
| cytosol non-specific dipeptidase | <enzyme> Also referred to as peptidase a (see synonym to penicillopepsin, EC 3.4.23.20) Registry number: EC 3.4.13.- Synonym: glycyl-l-leucine hydrolase, glycylleucine dipeptidase, gly-leu dipeptide peptidase, dipeptide hydrolase, glycyl-leucine dipeptidase (26 Jun 1999) |
| cytotoxic T lymphocyte-specific serine protease | <enzyme> Structural sequence given in first source Registry number: EC 3.4.21.- Synonym: cytotoxic t lymphocyte-specific serine protease ccp I, cytotoxic t lymphocyte specific serine protease ccp II, mast cell protease type II (26 Jun 1999) |
| proline-specific dipeptidylcarboxypeptidase | <enzyme> From streptomyces species; removes diproline form c-terminus of proline-containing peptides such as boc-pro-pro-pro-pro or leu-pro-pro-pro-pro-pro Registry number: EC 3.4.15.- Synonym: pro-dpp-carboxypeptidase (26 Jun 1999) |
| prostate-specific antigen | <tumour marker> A simple blood test used to detect prostate cancer in men. The test measures a specific antigen normally secreted by the prostate. If cancer is developing, the prostate secretes greater amounts of prostate-specific antigen. This test is recommended for men with an enlarged prostate and an increased risk of prostate cancer. It is an enzyme that is produced by epithelial cells of both benign and malignant prostate tissue. It is an important marker for the diagnosis of prostate cancer. It is a single chain 31 kilodalton glycoprotein with 240 amino acid residues and 4 carbohydrate side chains that is a kallikrein protease. It is found in normal seminal fluid and produced by the prostatic epithelial cells. Elevated levels in blood serum are associated with prostatic enlargement and prostatic adenocarcinoma, and this allows early detection of cancer in many cases. In about 70% of cases, the rise is due to a cancerous condition. No large scale clinical studies have been completed to assess the impact of testing on survival from prostate cancer, and the medical and economic value of testing remain uncertain.

| pyrimidine-guanine sequence-specific ribonuclease | <enzyme> From yolk granules of adult rana catesbeiana oocytes Registry number: EC 3.1.27.- Synonym: rc-rnase, rana catesbeiana rnase (26 Jun 1999) |
| site-specific mutagenesis | <cell culture, molecular biology> An in vitro technique in which an alteration is made at a specific site in a DNA molecule, which is then reintroduced into a cell. Various techniques are used, for the cell biologist, a very powerful approach to determining which parts of a protein or nucleotide sequence are critical to function. (18 Nov 1997) |

| site-specific recombination | <molecular biology> A type of recombination that occurs between two specific short DNA sequences present in the same or in different molecules. An example is the integration and excision of _ prophage. (18 Nov 1997) |
