| 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. |

|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 피부에서 진피의 아랫부분을 말함. 여기에는 지방조직이 많다. 기능은 열의 격리, 충격흡수, 영양저장소 등이다. |

| vacuolar degeneration | Formation of nonlipid vacuoles in cytoplasm, most frequently due to accumulation of water by cloudy swelling. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| macular degeneration | <ophthalmology> Breakdown or damage to a portion of the retina known as the macula. Symptoms include blurring of vision (in central visual field), colours appear dim and difficulty reading or performing work up close. (27 Sep 1997) |
| reaction of degeneration | The electrical reaction in a degenerated nerve and the muscles supplied by it; characterised by absence of response to both galvanic and faradic stimulus in the nerve and to faradic stimulus in the muscles; the muscles may still respond to galvanic stimulation, but the cathodal closing contraction is greater than the anodal closing contraction, the reverse of normal. (05 Mar 2000) |
| marginal corneal degeneration | Bilateral opacification and vascularization of the periphery of the cornea, progressing to formation of a gutter and ectasia. Synonym: ectatic marginal degeneration of cornea. (05 Mar 2000) |
| parenchymatous degeneration | Swelling of cells due to injury to the membranes affecting ionic transfer; causes an accumulation of intracellular water. Synonym: albuminous swelling, granular degeneration, hydropic degeneration, parenchymatous degeneration. (05 Mar 2000) |
| red degeneration | Necrosis, with staining by haemoglobin, which may occur in uterine myomas, especially during pregnancy; marked by softening and a red colour resembling partly cooked meat. Synonym: carneous degeneration. (05 Mar 2000) |
| caseous degeneration | Caseation necrosis, necrosis characteristic of certain inflammations (e.g., tuberculosis, histoplasmosis), which represents necrosis with loss of separate structures of the various cellular and histologic elements; affected tissue manifests the friable, crumbly consistency and dull, opaque quality observed in cheese. Synonym: caseous degeneration. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vitelliform degeneration | Degeneration in Best's disease, with the macular region of each eye occupied by a bright orange-yellow circular deposit resembling an egg yolk, followed by scarring; autosomal dominant inheritance. Synonym: vitelliruptive degeneration. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vitelliruptive degeneration | Degeneration in Best's disease, with the macular region of each eye occupied by a bright orange-yellow circular deposit resembling an egg yolk, followed by scarring; autosomal dominant inheritance. Synonym: vitelliruptive degeneration. (05 Mar 2000) |
| reticular degeneration | <ophthalmology> Severe epidermal oedema resulting in multilocular bullae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| retinal degeneration | <ophthalmology> A retrogressive pathological change in the retina, focal or generalised, caused by genetic defects, inflammation, trauma, vascular disease, or aging. Degeneration affecting predominantly the macula lutea of the retina is macular degeneration. (03 Jul 1999) |
| retrograde degeneration | The series of changes in a neuron following the severing of its axon, including central chromatolysis with displacement of the nucleus. (12 Dec 1998) |
| granular degeneration | Swelling of cells due to injury to the membranes affecting ionic transfer; causes an accumulation of intracellular water. Synonym: albuminous swelling, granular degeneration, hydropic degeneration, parenchymatous degeneration. (05 Mar 2000) |
| granulovacuolar degeneration | Degeneration of hippocampal brain cells in elderly persons, characterised by basophilic granules surrounded by a clear zone in hippocampal neurons; occurs more frequently in Alzheimer's disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gray degeneration | Degeneration of the white substance of the spinal cord, the fibres of which lose their myelin sheaths and become darker in colour. (05 Mar 2000) |
