|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 유전병을 치료할 목적으로, 정상적으로 기능하는 단일유전자 혹은 복수유전자를 어떤 기원에서 얻어내어 생세포에 도입하는 것. 유전물질은 유전자삽입 조작에 의해 수용세포에로 도입된다. 즉, 유전자를 끼워 넣은 새로운 세포를 사용하는 치료로서 1980년 미국의 학자가 지중해빈혈환자에게 강행하여 비판을 받았지만, 미국 국립보건연구소는 1990년 9월 아데노신 데아미나아제(adenosine deaminase, ADA) 결핍증 환자의 림프구에 ADA 유전자를 끼워 넣는 치료를 시작한 이래 현재는 암을 포함한 많은 질병들을 치료하는 목적으로 쓰인다. |

| anaphylactic shock | <immunology> A serious, often life-threatening allergic reaction that is characterised by low blood pressure, shock (poor tissue perfusion) and difficulty breathing. (27 Sep 1997) |
|---|---|
| anaphylactoid shock | A reaction that is similar to anaphylactic shock, but which does not require the incubation period characteristic of induced sensitivity (anaphylaxis); it is unrelated to antigen-antibody reactions. Synonym: anaphylactoid crisis, pseudoanaphylactic shock. (05 Mar 2000) |
| break shock | The shock produced by breaking a constant current passing through the body. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cardiac shock | A form of shock (inadequate delivery of oxygen to the tissues) that occurs secondary to the weakened pumping function of the heart. This condition may be precipitated by myocardial infarction or cardiomyopathy. Treatment includes fluid restriction, diuretics, vasopressors (dopamine) to support the blood pressure and the use of intravenous medications (dobutamine) which stimulate the heart to contract more forcefully. (27 Sep 1997) |
| cardiogenic shock | A form of shock (inadequate delivery of oxygen to the tissues) that occurs secondary to the weakened pumping function of the heart. This condition may be precipitated by myocardial infarction or cardiomyopathy. Treatment includes fluid restriction, diuretics, vasopressors (dopamine) to support the blood pressure and the use of intravenous medications (dobutamine) which stimulate the heart to contract more forcefully. (27 Sep 1997) |
| cardiopulmonary obstructive shock | <cardiology> This term describes a number of conditions that involve a severe disturbance of the cardiopulmonary circuit resulting in shock (inadequate delivery of oxygen to the tissues). Examples include: pulmonary embolism, pericardial tamponade, pneumothorax and constrictive pericarditis. (27 Sep 1997) |
| vasogenic shock | Shock resulting from depressed activity of the higher vasomotor centres in the brain stem and the medulla, producing vasodilation without loss of fluid so that the container is disproportionately large. In oligaemic shock, blood volume is reduced; in both, return of venous blood is inadequate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| reversible shock | Shock that will respond to treatment and from which recovery is possible. (05 Mar 2000) |
| chronic shock | The state of peripheral circulatory insufficiency developing in elderly patients with a debilitating disease, e.g., carcinoma; a subnormal blood volume makes the patient susceptible to haemorrhagic shock as a result of even a moderate blood loss such as may occur during an operation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| wet shock | A severe condition that occurs when the level of blood glucose (sugar) drops quickly. The signs are shaking, sweating, dizziness, double vision, convulsions, and collapse. Insulin shock may occur when an insulin reaction is not treated quickly enough. See: hypoglycaemia. (09 Oct 1997) |
| cultural shock | A form of stress associated with the beginning of an individual's assimilation into a new culture vastly different from that in which he or she was raised. (05 Mar 2000) |
| haemorrhagic shock | Hypovolaemic shock resulting from acute haemorrhage, characterised by hypotension, tachycardia, pale, cold, and clammy skin, and oliguria. (05 Mar 2000) |
| primary shock | Shock mainly nervous in nature, from pain, anxiety, etc., which ensues almost immediately upon the receipt of a severe injury. (05 Mar 2000) |
| heat-shock factor | <cell biology, protein> A class of molecular chaperones found in both prokaryotes and in several compartments of eukaryotic cells. There is evidence that these proteins can interact with polypeptides during a variety of assembly processes in such a way as to prevent the formation of nonfunctional structures. (12 Dec 1998) Previous: heat-shock factor, heat-shock gene, heat-shock protein, heat-shock protein 27 kinaseNext: heat-shock proteins 90, heat-shock responseheat-shock factor -->heat-shock proteins 90 <cell biology, protein> A class of molecular chaperones whose members act in the mechanism of signal transduction by steroid receptors. (12 Dec 1998) |
| heat-shock gene | <molecular biology> A set of genes present in most animals which are transcribed suddenly, quickly, and with coordination when the animal is exposed to certain types of stress such as a sudden temperature increase. (09 Oct 1997) |
