| 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. |

| 영문 | subcutaneous tissue, subcutis | 한글 | 피하조직 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 피부에서 진피의 아랫부분을 말함. 여기에는 지방조직이 많다. 기능은 열의 격리, 충격흡수, 영양저장소 등이다. |

| ASHN | acute sclerosing hyaline necrosis |
| ATN | acute tubular necrosis; augmented transition network |
| AVN | acute vasomotor nephropathy; atrioventricular nodal [conduction]; atrioventricular node; avascular n... |
| AVNFH | avascular necrosis of the femoral head |
| infectious pancreatic necrosis virus | The type species of aquabirnavirus, causing infectious pancreatic necrosis in salmonid fish and other freshwater and marine animals including mollusks. (12 Dec 1998) |

| ischemic necrosis | Necrosis caused by hypoxia resulting from local deprivation of blood supply, as by infarction. (05 Mar 2000) |
| total necrosis | Complete necrosis of the cytologic and histologic elements in a portion of tissue, as in caseous necrosis, death of an entire organ or part. (05 Mar 2000) |
| epiphysial aseptic necrosis | Aseptic necrosis of bony epiphyses, probably due to ischemia; it may affect the upper end of the femur (Legg-Calve-Perthes disease), the tibial tubercle (Osgood-Schlatter disease), the tarsal navicular bone or the patella (Kohler's disease), the second metatarsal head (Freiberg's disease), vertebral bodies (Scheuermann's disease), or the capitellum of the humerus (Panner's disease). (05 Mar 2000) |
| tumor necrosis factor | <cytokine> Originally described as a tumour inhibiting factor in the blood of animals exposed to bacterial lipopolysaccharide or Bacille Calmette-Guerin. Preferentially kills tumour cells in vivo and in vitro, causes necrosis of certain transplanted tumours in mice and inhibits experimental metastases. Human Tumour Necrosis factor alpha is a protein of 157 amino acids and has a wide range of pro inflammatory actions. Usually considered a cytokine. Synonym: cachectin. Acronym: TNF (13 Nov 1997) |

| tumour necrosis factor-beta | <cytokine> A cytolytic factor that is produced by CD4 and CD8 T-cells after their exposure to an antigen. (05 Mar 2000) |
| kidney cortex necrosis | The death of all the functioning renal cells of the kidney cortex with continued viability of the majority of the medullary units. It is due usually to the arterial distribution peculiar to the kidney which makes the renal cortex more susceptible to diminished blood flow. (12 Dec 1998) |
| kidney papillary necrosis | A form of acute kidney disease characterised by necrosis of the renal papillae. It is most frequently associated with diabetes mellitus because of the severe vascular disease present in the arteries and capillaries, particularly in the kidney. There is usually a large component of infection present, and in non-diabetics pyelonephritis and obstructive uropathy are the usual aetiologic agents. (12 Dec 1998) |
| kidney tubular necrosis, acute | Acute kidney failure resulting from destruction of tubular epithelial cells. It is commonly attributed to exposure to toxic agents or renal ischemia following severe trauma. (12 Dec 1998) |
| fat necrosis | A condition in which the neutral fats in the cells of adipose tissue are split into fatty acids and glycerol. (12 Dec 1998) |
| fat necrosis tumour | <surgery> Destruction of fat cells in the breast due to trauma or injury that can cause a hard noncancerous lump. (09 Oct 1997) |
| Zenker's necrosis | A form of severe hyaline degeneration or necrosis in skeletal muscle, occurring in severe infections. Synonym: waxy degeneration, Zenker's necrosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| zonal necrosis | Necrosis predominantly affecting or limited to an anatomical zone, especially parts of the hepatic lobules defined according to proximity to either the portal tracts or central (hepatic) veins. (05 Mar 2000) |
| femur head necrosis | Aseptic or avascular necrosis of the femoral head. The major types are idiopathic (primary), as a complication of fractures or dislocations, and legg-perthes disease. (12 Dec 1998) |
