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

| smear culture | A culture obtained by spreading material presumed to be infected on the surface of a solidified medium. (05 Mar 2000) |

| sputum culture | The incubation of expectorated material for the purpose of identifying a bacterial contaminant. Sputum cultures can assist the physician in appropriate antibiotic choice for the treatment of pneumonia or bronchitis. (27 Sep 1997) |
| stab culture | A culture produced by inserting an inoculating needle with inoculum down the centre of a solid medium contained in a test tube. Synonym: needle culture. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nasopharyngeal culture | <microbiology> A sample of nasopharyngeal secretions are obtained via a swab stick (Q-tip-like) and sent to the lab for bacterial or viral culture. This test is used to identify an organism or virus which is responsible for respiratory disease and can also guide the selection of an effective antibiotic agent. (27 Sep 1997) |
| nasopharyngeal viral culture | <microbiology> A collection of nasopharyngeal secretions for the purpose of incubating a virus for identification. (27 Sep 1997) |
| needle culture | A culture produced by inserting an inoculating needle with inoculum down the centre of a solid medium contained in a test tube. Synonym: needle culture. (05 Mar 2000) |
| neotype culture | A strain accepted by international agreement to replace a type strain which is no longer in existence or to serve as the type strain if a type strain was not designated and if no strain exists which can be designated as the type. Synonym: neotype culture. (05 Mar 2000) |
| stock culture | A culture of a microorganism maintained solely for the purpose of keeping the microorganism in a viable condition by subculture, as necessary, into fresh medium. (05 Mar 2000) |
| stool culture | A test used to identify pathogenic organisms in the stools that may be responsible for gastroenteritis. Often performed in cases of unexplained diarrhoea. May indicate bacterial, viral or parasitic disease. Cultures are also helpful in assisting the selection an appropriate antibiotic agent. See: Traveler's Diarrhoea. (27 Sep 1997) |
| streak culture | A culture produced by lightly stroking an inoculating needle or loop with inoculum over the surface of a solid medium. (05 Mar 2000) |
| diffusion chambers, culture | Devices used in a technique by which cells or tissues are grown in vitro or, by implantation, in vivo within chambers permeable to diffusion of solutes across the chamber walls. The chambers are used for studies of drug effects, osmotic responses, cytogenic and immunologic phenomena, metabolism, etc., and include tissue cages. (12 Dec 1998) |
| discontinuous culture | A technique for production of microbes or microbial products in which the organisms are grown in a closed system until one nutrient factor becomes rate-limiting. (05 Mar 2000) |
