| 영문 | stem cell | 한글 | 줄기세포, 간세포 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 자기 복제를 하여 자신을 존속시키면서 한편으로는 증식과 분화를 하여 새로운 세포를 형성하는 세포로서 조혈줄기세포가 대표적이다. 조혈줄기세포는 골수에 있는 세포로서 모든 혈구세포가 여기에서 분화되어 발생한다. |

| 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. |

| chemotactic factors, eosinophil | Cytotaxins liberated from normal or invading cells that specifically attract eosinophils; they may be complement fragments, lymphokines, neutrophil products, histamine or other; the best known is the tetrapeptide ecf-a, released mainly by mast cells. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| chemotactic factors, macrophage | Cytotaxins liberated from normal or invading cells that specifically attract macrophages. They may be lymphokines, products of antigen, antibody and complement interactions or other. (12 Dec 1998) |
| risk factors | An aspect of personal behaviour or lifestyle, environmental exposure, or inborn or inherited characteristic, which, on the basis of epidemiologic evidence, is known to be associated with a health-related condition considered important to prevent. (12 Dec 1998) |
| meteorological factors | The atmospheric phenomena which pertain to climate and weather. (12 Dec 1998) |
| clearing factors | Lipoprotein lipases that appear in plasma during lipaemia and catalyze hydrolysis of triglycerides only when the latter are bound to protein and when an acceptor (e.g., serum albumin) is present, thus "clearing" the plasma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| colicin factors | Plasmids determining the potentiality of a bacterium to produce colicins. They are cytoplasmic elements whose integration into the bacterial chromosome has not been demonstrated except for the col b and col v factors. (12 Dec 1998) |
| colonisation factors | <microbiology> The pili on enteropathogenic forms of E. Coli facilitate adhesion of the bacteria to receptors (probably GM1 gangliosides) on gut epithelial cells and are often referred to as colonisation or adherence factors. Colonisation factor antigens may be plasmid coded, are essential for pathogenicity and are strain specific, for example K88 diarrhoea in piglets), CFAI and CFAII on strains causing similar disease in man. (18 Nov 1997) |
| cord factors | Trehalose-6,6'-dimycolate. A toxic glycolipid of mycobacterium tuberculosis. Induces cellular biochemical disfunction in animals; used as immunoadjuvant. (12 Dec 1998) |
| myogenic regulatory factors | A family of muscle-specific transcription factors which bind to DNA in control regions and thus regulate myogenesis. All members of this family contain a conserved helix-loop-helix motif which is homologous to the myc family proteins. These factors are only found in skeletal muscle. Members include the myod protein (myod protein), myogenin, myf-5, and myf-6 (also called mrf4 or herculin). (12 Dec 1998) |
| coupling factors | Proteins that restore phosphorylating ability to mitochondria that have lost it, i.e., have become "uncoupled" so that oxidation and electron transport no longer produces ATP. Usually termed coupling factor F1, F2, etc. Synonym: C factors. (05 Mar 2000) |
| haemolysin factors | Plasmids controlling the synthesis of haemolysin by bacteria. (12 Dec 1998) |
| precipitating factors | Factors associated with the definitive onset of a disease, illness, accident, behavioural response, or course of action. Usually one factor is more important or more obviously recognizable than others, if several are involved, and one may often be regarded as "necessary". Examples include exposure to specific disease; amount or level of an infectious organism, drug, or noxious agent, etc. (12 Dec 1998) |
| predisposing factors | Attitudinal, personality, and related factors that motivate and guide an individual to take certain health actions. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sex factors | Maleness or femaleness as a constituent element or influence contributing to the production of a result. It may be applicable to the cause or effect of a circumstance. It is used with human or animal concepts but should be differentiated from sex characteristics, anatomical or physiological manifestations of sex, and from sex distribution, the number of males and females in given circumstances. (12 Dec 1998) |
| socioeconomic factors | Social and economic factors that characterise the individual or group within the social structure. (12 Dec 1998) |
