|---|---|---|---|
| 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. |

|---|---|---|---|
| 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. |

| cancer, pancreatic | Cancer of the organ which produces many juices that are important for digesting food as well as hormones, such as insulin and glucagon. Pancreatic cancer has been called a silent disease because early pancreatic cancer usually does not cause symptoms. If the tumour blocks the common bile duct and bile cannot pass into the digestive system, the skin and whites of the eyes may become yellow, and the urine darker as a result of accumulated bile pigment called bilirubin. This condition is referred to as jaundice. (12 Dec 1998) |
| pancreatic | <anatomy> Of or pertaining to the pancreas; as, the pancreatic secretion, digestion, ferments. <physiology> Pancreatic juice, a colourless alkaline fluid secreted intermittently by the pancreatic gland. It is one of the most important of the digestive fluids, containing at least three distinct ferments, trypsin, steapsin and an amylolytic ferment, by which it acts upon all three classes of food stuffs. See Pancreas. Origin: Cf. F. Pancreatique. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| pancreatic abscess | An abscess in the pancreatic or peripancreatic area usually related to pancreatitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pancreatic adenocarcinoma | <radiology> Males (60%), blacks more than whites, risk factors: tobacco, familial pancreatitis, not EtOH!, focal mass in 95%, pancreatic head in 66%, small (low-density, hypoechoic) mass, infiltrates locally, obstructs ducts and encases vessels, metastasis to liver, local nodes See also: pancreatic neoplasms (12 Dec 1998) |
| pancreatic branches | Branches to the pancreas. Nomina Anatomica lists pancreatic branches of 1) splenic artery, rami pancreatici arteriae splenicae; 2) superior pancreaticoduodenal arteries, rami pancreatici arteriae pancreaticoduodenalis superioris. Synonym: rami pancreatici. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pancreatic calcifications | <radiology> Chronic alcoholic pancreatitis (85-90%), hereditary pancreatitis, 309], tumours, especially cystadenoma and cystadenocarcinoma, hyperparathyroidism, kwashiorkor, cystic fibrosis, idiopathic, rarely: trauma, infarction, intraparenchymal haemorrhage, associated with slight increased in panc carcinoma (12 Dec 1998) |
| pancreatic calculus | A concretion, usually multiple, in the pancreatic duct, associated with chronic pancreatitis. Synonym: pancreatolith, pancreolith. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pancreatic cancer | <oncology> A malignant growth of the pancreas. More than 90% are ductal adenocarcinomas with islet cell carcinomas making up the difference. Symptoms include abdominal pain, abdominal swelling, jaundice, weight loss and anorexia. (27 Sep 1997) |
| pancreatic cholera | Diarrhoea characterised by severe, watery, secretory diarrhoea and hyperkalaemia; most patients have hypercalcaemia, many have hyperglycaemia; results from excessive secretion of VIP (vasoactive intestinal peptide) by an islet cell tumour of the pancreas. Sometimes called WDHA syndrome. See: Verner-Morrison syndrome, WDHA syndrome. Synonym: pancreatic cholera, pancreatic diarrhoea. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pancreatic colic | Severe colicky abdominal pain, resembling that of biliary colic, caused by the passage of a pancreatic calculus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pancreatic cyst | A true cyst of the pancreas to be distinguished from the much more common pancreatic pseudocyst by possessing a mucous epithelial lining. Pancreatic cysts are categorised as congenital, retention, neoplastic, parasitic, enterogenous, or dermoid. Congenital cysts occur more frequently as solitary cysts but may be multiple. Retention cysts are gross enlargements of pancreatic ducts secondary to ductal obstruction. (12 Dec 1998) |
| pancreatic cystic neoplasms | <radiology> Microcystic adenoma, glycogen, benign, mucinous cystic neoplasm, macrocystic adenoma, cystadenoma/cystadenocarcinoma, mucin, pre-malignant, Both occur more commonly in women, peak in middle age (12 Dec 1998) |
| pancreatic cystoduodenostomy | Surgical or endoscopic drainage of pancreatic pseudocyst into duodenum. Synonym: duodenocystostomy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pancreatic deoxyribonuclease | <enzyme> An enzyme capable of hydrolyzing highly polymerised DNA by splitting phosphodiester linkages, preferentially adjacent to a pyrimidine nucleotide. This catalyses endonucleolytic cleavage of DNA yielding 5'-phosphodi- and oligonucleotide end-products. The enzyme has a preference for double-stranded DNA. Registry number: EC 3.1.21.1 (12 Dec 1998) |
