| 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. |

| epicardial fat sign | <radiology> Two lucent lines on lateral CXR anterior to heart, subepicardial fat around LAD, anterior mediastinal fat, lines seen in 40% of all lateral CXRs, if separation greater than 2 mm most likely to be consider pericardial effusion or thickening (12 Dec 1998) |

| faecal fat determination | <investigation> A test that measures the amount of fat in the stool and the percentage of dietary fat that is absorbed. This test is used to evaluate potential fat malabsorption syndromes. Stools are collected for 24 hours. Normal values include less than 7 grams of fat per 24 hours, based on a diet of 100 grams of fat per day for 3 days before the test. Decreased fat absorption can be seen in biliary stricture, biliary cancer, celiac sprue, cholelithiasis, chronic pancreatitis, Crohn's disease, cystic fibrosis, acute pancreatitis, pancreatic cancer, radiation enteritis, short bowel syndromes (post surgical) and Whipple's disease.

| familial fat-induced hyperlipaemia | Hyperlipoproteinaemia characterised by the presence of large amounts of chylomicrons and triglycerides in the plasma when the patient has a normal diet, and their disappearance on a fat-free diet; low alpha-and beta-lipoproteins on a normal diet, with increase on fat-free diet; decreased plasma postheparin lipolytic activity; and low tissue lipoprotein lipase activity. It is accompanied by bouts of abdominal pain, hepatosplenomegaly, pancreatitis, and eruptive xanthomas; autosomal recessive inheritance. See: familial lipoprotein lipase inhibitor. Synonym: Burger-Grutz syndrome, familial fat-induced hyperlipaemia, familial hyperchylomicronaemia, familial hypertriglyceridemia, idiopathic hyperlipaemia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fat | <biochemistry> A triglyceride (lipid) that is usually solid at room temperature. Compare: oil. (09 Oct 1997) |
| fat body | A nutritional reservoir of fatty tissue found mainly in insects and amphibians. (12 Dec 1998) |
| fat body of cheek | An encapsuled mass of fat in the cheek on the outer side of the buccinator muscle, especially marked in the infant; supposed to strengthen and support the cheek during the act of sucking. Synonym: corpus adiposum buccae, Bichat's fat-pad, Bichat's protuberance, fat body of cheek, sucking cushion, sucking pad, suctorial pad. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fat body of ischiorectal fossa | The fat within the ischiorectal fossa. Synonym: corpus adiposum fossae ischiorectalis, fat body of ischiorectal fossa. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fat body of orbit | The mass of fat contained in the orbit that contributes to the support of the eyeball. Synonym: corpus adiposum orbitae, fat body of orbit. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fat droplet | <pathology> Micro aggregates of (mainly) triglycerides visible within cells. (18 Nov 1997) |
| fat embolism | <orthopaedics> The occurrence of fat globules in the bloodstream following fracture of a long bone, in burns, in childbirth or in association with fatty degeneration of the liver. Symptoms occur when fat globules block vessels within the lung (i.e. Pulmonary embolism) or the cerebral vasculature (i.e. Stroke). Fat embolism after bone fracture generally occurs in the first 3-4 days post fracture and commonly manifests with the signs and symptoms of pulmonary embolism. (27 Sep 1997) |
| fat emulsions, intravenous | Emulsions of fats or lipids used primarily in parenteral feeding. (12 Dec 1998) |
| fat graft | A free graft of fat. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fat hernia | A hernia in which the tissue protruding out of its normal location is composed only of fat. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fat indigestion | Faecal matter that is frothy, foul-smelling and floats because of a high fat content. A finding that is typical in malabsorption syndromes. (27 Sep 1997) |
| fat metabolism | Oxidation, decomposition, and synthesis of fats in the tissues. (05 Mar 2000) |
