| 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. |

| centimeter-gram-second unit | <unit> An absolute unit of the centimeter-gram-second system. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| volume unit | A unit of a logarithmic scale for expressing the power level of a complex audio-frequency electrical signal, such as that transmitting music or speech; the power in volume unit's equals the decibels of power above a reference level of one milliwatt, as measured with an appropriate meter. (05 Mar 2000) |
| respiratory care unit | The hospital unit in which patients with respiratory conditions requiring special attention receive intensive medical care and surveillance. (12 Dec 1998) |
| riboflavin unit | Potency usually expressed in terms of weight of pure riboflavin. See: Sherman-Bourquin unit of vitamin B2. Synonym: vitamin B2 unit. (05 Mar 2000) |
| chlorophyll unit | The number of chlorophyll molecules required to reduce one molecule of carbon dioxide by photosynthesis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| meter-kilogram-second unit | An absolute unit of the meter-kilogram-second system. (05 Mar 2000) |
| chorionic gonadotropin unit | The specific gonadotropic activity of 0.1 mg of the standard preparation of chorionic gonadotropin originating from the urine or placentas of pregnant women. (05 Mar 2000) |

| photosynthetic unit | <biochemistry, plant biology> Group of photosynthetic pigment molecules (chlorophylls and carotenoids) that supply light to one reaction centre in photosystem I or II. (18 Nov 1997) |
| physiologic unit | The ultimate (hypothetical) vital unit of protoplasm, as conceived by Spencer, the smallest division of an organ that will perform its function; e.g., the uriniferous tubule. (05 Mar 2000) |
| colony-forming unit | <cell biology> An individual cell which is able to clone itself into an entire colony of identical cells. Irradiated mice can have their immune systems reconstituted by the injection of bone marrow cells from a nonirradiated animal. The injected cells form colonies in the spleen (hence s), each colony representing the progeny of a pluripotent stem cell. Operationally, therefore, the number of colony-forming units is a measure of the number of stem cells. Acronym: CFU (09 Oct 1997) |
| motor unit | A single somatic motor neuron and the group of muscle fibres innervated by it. (05 Mar 2000) |
| complement unit | The smallest amount (highest dilution) of complement that will cause haemolysis of a unit of red blood cells in the presence of a haemolysin unit. Synonym: alexin unit. (05 Mar 2000) |
| plaque-forming unit | <virology> Number of infectious virus particles or Ig producing cells per unit volume. See: plaque assay. <microbiology> Refers to any entity which can give rise to a plaque. For example: if a phage stock solution has 1010 pfu/ml, it means that every ml of this stock has 1010 phage particles which can form plaques. This (pfu/ml) is the conventional way to refer the concentration of a phage preparation. Compare: CFU. (10 Oct 1997) |
| mouse unit | The quantity of oestrogen capable of producing in a spayed mouse a characteristic change in the vaginal epithelium, namely, disappearance of leukocytes and appearance of cornified cells, as determined by a vaginal smear; equal approximately to one-half of an estrone unit. Synonym: mouse unit. (05 Mar 2000) |
