| 영문 | Wilms' tumor | 한글 | 윌름즈종양 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 콩팥에서 발생하는 악성종양으로 소아에서 자주 발생한다. 흔히 소아에서 복부내종양을 발견시 중앙선을 넘어서면 신경모세포종이고, 중앙선을 넘지 않으면 윌름즈종양을 의심할 만큼 중요하고 흔한 종양이다. 대개 증상은 없는 편이며, 주로 아기의 목욕을 시켜주다가 우연히 발견된 복부내종괴 때문에 병원을 찾게 된다. 진단시 컴퓨터단층촬영으로 주위의 전이가 없는지를 확인해야 하며, 전이가 없으면 항암화학요법, 방사선치료요법, 그리고 수술요법의 병합요법에 의한 치료효과가 높다. |

| 설명 | 조절할 수 없이 계속 진행되는 세포분열에 의한 조직의 새로운 증식 및 증대. 신생물. (1) 분류 A. 침윤과 전이의 유무에 따라 i)양성종양: 침윤과 전이가 없고 역형성이 낮은 세포로 구성됨. 대개 치료에 반응이 높고, 생명에 크게 지장이 없으며, 재발하는 경우도 적다. 증상은 단지 주위조직에 대한 압박정도이다. ii)악성종양: 침윤과 전이가 있고 퇴화도가 높은 세포로 구성됨. 기원세포가 상피조직일 경우 암종, 비상피성일 경우 육종으로 나누기도 한다. 치료에 잘 반응하지 않고, 재발을 잘 하며, 생존율이 낮다. 흔히 말하는 “암”을 의미한다. B. 조직학적 특징에 따라 샘종, 지방종, 근종 등으로 나누기도 한다. (2) 병리조직학적 특징 A. 육안적 소견 덩어리를 형성하기도 하고 정상조직에 스며들듯이 판상구조를 이루기도 하는 등 다양한 형태를 보인다. 양성의 경우 피막을 가진 경우가 많고 악성의 경우 없는 경우가 많다. 육안소견에 따라 다음과 같이 나눈다. 낭성, 융기성, 괴사성, 폴립모양, 궤양형 등이 있다. 또는 세포의 크기와 모양이 비정상적인 형태로 변화한다. 핵의 극성이 사라지고 핵의 염색성이 짙어진다. 세포질의 염색성도 변화하며 세포들간의 세포주기가 매우 다양해져 많은 세포분열을 보인다. 이러한 일련의 변화를 역형성이라 한다. 역형성의 정도에 따라 조직학적 등급을 나눈다. 또한 각 종양에 따라 각기 다른 병리조직학적 명칭을 붙인다. |

| diarrhoea, antibiotic-induced | A bacterium called Clostridium difficile (C.difficile), one of the most common causes of infection of the large bowel (colon). Patients taking antibiotics are at particular risk of becoming infected with C. Difficile. Antibiotics disrupt the normal bacteria of the bowel, allowing C. Difficile bacteria (and other bacteria) to become established and overgrow the colon. Many persons infected with C. Difficile bacteria have no symptoms but can become carriers of the bacteria and infect others. In other people, a toxin produced by C. Difficile causes diarrhoea, abdominal pain, severe inflammation of the colon (colitis), fever, an elevated white blood count, vomiting and dehydration. In severely affected patients, the inner lining of the colon becomes severely inflamed (a condition called pseudomembranous colitis). Rarely, the walls of the colon wear away and holes develop (colon perforation), which can lead to a life-threatening infection of the abdomen. (12 Dec 1998) |

| drug-induced cholestasis | <hepatology> A condition where a drug is interfering with the normal flow of bile from the liver to the gut via the biliary tract. The end result is jaundice. Origin: Gr. Stasis = stoppage (27 Sep 1997) |
| drug-induced diarrhoea | <gastroenterology> Diarrhoea may be produced by several mechanisms. Laxatives may produce diarrhoea by increasing the flow of water into the intestine or by increasing the intestinal motility. Antibiotic medications can cause diarrhoea by killing the normal bacteria that live in the intestine and help us digest our food. Some drugs produce diarrhoea as a side effect or as drug toxicity. (27 Sep 1997) |
| drug-induced disease | <pharmacology> A toxic reaction to or morbid condition resulting from the administration of a drug. (05 Mar 2000) |
| drug-induced eosinophilic lung disease | <radiology> Diffuse reticular pattern: nitrofurantoin, Loeffler-like pattern: penicillin, sulfonamides, ASA, para-ASA, imipramine, HCTZ, cromolyn sodium see: eosinophilic lung disease (12 Dec 1998) |
| drug-induced hepatitis | <hepatology, pathology> Inflammation and hepatocellular damage of the liver that is caused by a drug. Some medications may cause inflammation of the liver as a drug side effect or drug toxicity. Drugs that are known to cause hepatitis include acetaminophen, isoniazid, halothane, methyldopa, erythromycin and oral contraceptives. (27 Sep 1997) |
| drug-induced lupus | <dermatology> An inflammatory autoimmune disorder, similar to lupus, that develops in response to the use of a particular medication. It is characterised by anti-histone antibodies. More benign than the usual disease, with less renal involvement. The syndrome clears after stopping the offending drug. Drugs that are known to cause this reaction include procainamide, isoniazid, sulphasalazine, hydralazine, methyldopa, phenytoin, chlorpromazine and penicillamine. The arthritis, cardiac, pulmonary and systemic features may be present, but the kidney involvement (nephritis) and neurologic disease are rare. Symptoms generally resolve spontaneously after stopping the medication. Complications include myocarditis, pericarditis, thrombocytopenic purpura and infections. (18 Jul 2002) |
| drug-induced tremor | <neurology, pharmacology> A drug-induced condition where there is shaking (tremor) of the extremities that is increased with purposeful movement. Drugs known to induce tremor include: theophylline, Alupent, cyclosporine, amphetamines, lithium and caffeine. (27 Sep 1997) |
| dyskinesia, drug-induced | Abnormal movements induced as an adverse reaction of drug therapy. One particular movement disorder is the "on-off" effect. Tardive dyskinesia differs from akathisia, drug-induced in the repetitive nature of the movements rather than being associated with anxiety, restlessness, and agitation found in akathisia. (12 Dec 1998) |
| induced abortion | An abortion brought on purposefully by drugs or mechanical means. (05 Mar 2000) |
| induced apnea | Intentional respiratory arrest during general anaesthesia produced by hypocapnia, a muscle relaxant drug, respiratory centre depression, or sudden cessation of controlled respiration. (05 Mar 2000) |
| induced enzyme | Inducible enzyme, an enzyme that can be detected in a growing culture of a microorganism, after the addition of a particular substance (inducer) to the culture medium, but was not detectable prior to the addition and can act on the inducer. A prototype is the beta-galactosidase of Escherichia coli, synthesised upon the addition of various galactosides, whether or not these are good substrates. Compare: constitutive enzyme. Synonym: adaptive enzyme. (05 Mar 2000) |
| induced fever | 1. Obsolete synonym for pyrotherapy. 2. Treatment of fever. Synonym: artificial fever, induced fever. Origin: pyreto-+ G. Therapeia, treatment (05 Mar 2000) |
| induced fit | A change in the conformation of an enzyme due to it binding to asubstrate that makes it catalyticallyactive. A situation where any molecule changes shape as it binds toa ligand so that its bindingsite more closely conforms to the shape of the ligand. (09 Oct 1997) |
| induced fit model | A model to suggest a mode of action of enzymes in which the substrate binds to the active site of the protein, causing a conformational change in the protein. Synonym: Koshland-Nemethy-Filmer model. (05 Mar 2000) |
