| 영문 | renal cell carcinoma | 한글 | 콩팥세포암종 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 콩팥에 생긴 원시콩팥조직에서 발생한 암. 주로 원시세뇨관조직에서 발생한다. 대표적인 세포조직형은 염색시 세포질이 맑게 비어보이는 맑은세포암종이다. 치료는 수술과 항암화학요법이며 아주 드물지만 저절로 낫는 경우도 있는 것으로 보고되어 있다. |

| 영문 | squamous cell carcinoma | 한글 | 편평세포암종 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 편평세포 기원의 암으로서, 편평세포가 있는 어떤 곳에서든 발생가능함. 따라서 식도암, 피부암, 폐암, 자궁암 등이 여기에 해당된다. 특히 피부암은 많은 자외선조사에 의해 생기는 광선각화증에서 발생가능하다. 병리조직학적 특성으로서 각질을 생성한다. |

| delta agent | A rare form of viral transfusion hepatitis. A defective viral agent that occurs only in association with hepatitis B infection. The delta agent may also increase the severity of hepatitis B infection. Complications include chronic persistent hepatitis and fulminant hepatitis. A test known as anti-delta agent antibody is positive and used to confirm the diagnosis. Treatment is the same as for hepatitis B. (27 Sep 1997) |

| delta alcoholism | Jellinek's term for an advanced form of gamma alcoholism in which the individual has lost the ability to abstain from partaking of alcohol even for a brief period. (05 Mar 2000) |
| delta-(alpha-aminoadipyl)cysteinylvalinedisulfide reductase | <enzyme> Broad range disulfide reductase from streptomyces clavuligerus; requires NADPH; involved in the production of beta-lactam antibiotic such as penicillins and cephalosporins Registry number: EC 1.6.4.- Synonym: bis-acv reductase, delta-(-l-alpha-aminoadipyl)-l-cysteinyl-d-valine disulfide reductase, acv disulfide reductase (26 Jun 1999) |
| delta antigen | A defective virus, containing particles of RNA nucleoprotein in virion-like form, present in patients with acute hepatitis b and chronic hepatitis. Officially this is classified as a subviral satellite RNA (RNA, satellite). (12 Dec 1998) |
| delta bilirubin | The fraction of bilirubin covalently bound to albumin; in conventional methods it is measured as part of conjugated bilirubin. Because of its covalent bond during the recovery phase of hepatocellular jaundice, it may persist in the blood for a week or more after urine clears. (05 Mar 2000) |
| delta-cadinene synthase | <enzyme> Catalyses conversion of farnesylpyrophosphate to (+)-delta-cadinene; isolated from cotton. Registry number: EC 5.- (26 Jun 1999) |
| delta chain | See: immunoglobulin. The heavy chains of mouse and human IgD immunoglobulins. (18 Nov 1997) |
| delta check | A comparison of consecutive values for a given test in a patient's laboratory file used to detect abrupt changes, usually generated as a part of computer-based quality control programs. Synonym: d check. (05 Mar 2000) |
| delta fornicis | The triangular subcallosal plate of commissural fibres resulting from the converging of the right and left fornix bundles which exchange numerous fibres and which curve back in the contralateral fornix to end in the hippocampus of the opposite side. Synonym: commissura hippocampi, commissure of fornix, delta fornicis, hippocampal commissure, psalterium, transverse fornix. (05 Mar 2000) |
| delta granule | A granule of a delta cell. (05 Mar 2000) |
| delta hepatitis | Acute or chronic hepatitis caused by the hepatitis delta virus, a defective RNA virus requiring HBV for replication. The acute type occurs in two forms: 1) coinfection, the simultaneous occurrence of hepatitis B virus and hepatitis delta virus infections, which usually is self-limiting; 2) superinfection, the appearance of hepatitis delta virus infection in a hepatitis B virus carrier, which often leads to chronic hepatitis The chronic type appears to be more severe than other types of viral hepatitis. Synonym: delta hepatitis, hepatitis D. (05 Mar 2000) |
| delta mesoscapulae | The flat triangular surface at the vertebral extremity of the spine of the scapula over which glides the tendon for the lower fibres of the trapezius muscle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| delta rhythm | Brain waves in the electroencephalogram which have a frequency below 3 1/2 per second. They are typical in deep sleep, in infancy, and in serious brain disorders. (12 Dec 1998) |
| delta sleep-inducing peptide | <chemical> A nonapeptide that is found in neurons, peripheral organs, and plasma. This neuropeptide induces mainly delta sleep in mammals. In addition to sleep, the peptide has been observed to affect electrophysiological activity, neurotransmitter levels in the brain, circadian and locomotor patterns, hormonal levels, psychological performance, and the activity of neuropharmacological drugs including their withdrawal. Chemical name: Delta sleep-inducing peptide (12 Dec 1998) |
| delta virus | <virology> Hepatitis D virus. A defective RNA virus requiring a helper virus, usually Hepatitis B virus, for replication. Delta virus infections may exacerbate the clinical effects of Hepatitis B. (18 Nov 1997) |
