| chemosensitizer | Drugs or chemicals that enhance the therapeutic effects of chemotherapy drugs and therefore improve their effectiveness. (09 Oct 1997) |
|---|---|
| chemoserotherapy | An obsolete treatment of disease with a combination of drugs and serum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| chemosis | Oedema of the bulbar conjunctiva forming a swelling around the iris of the eye. (27 Sep 1997) |
| chemosmosis | Chemical reaction between substances initially separated by a membrane. Origin: chem-+ G. Osmos, a thrusting, an impulsion (05 Mar 2000) |
| chemostat | Apparatus for maintaining a bacterial population in the exponential phase of growth by regulating the input of a rate limiting nutrient and the removal of medium and cells. (18 Nov 1997) |
| chemosterilant | A chemical for controlling insect populations which prevents them from reproducing without killing them or changing their mating behaviours. Compare: pesticide. (09 Oct 1997) |
| chemosterilants | Chemical compounds the ingestion of which causes sterility of an organism. Such compounds have been used as a means of controlling various insects and other pests by inducing sterility in the male. (12 Dec 1998) |
| chemosurgery | Excision of diseased tissue after it has been fixed in situ by chemical means. (05 Mar 2000) |
| chemosynthesis | The use of inorganic substances such as carbon dioxide to make carbohydrates from the energy released by chemical reactions. Compare: photosynthesis. (09 Oct 1997) |
| chemotactic | A response of motile cells or organisms in which the direction of movement is affected by the gradient of a diffusible substance. Differs from chemokinesis in that the gradient alters probability of motion in one direction only, rather than rate or frequency of random motion. (18 Nov 1997) |
| chemotactic factors | Chemical substances that attract or repel cells or organisms. The concept denotes especially those factors released as a result of tissue injury, invasion, or immunologic activity, that attract leukocytes, macrophages, or other cells to the site of infection or insult. (12 Dec 1998) |
| chemotactic factors, eosinophil | Cytotaxins liberated from normal or invading cells that specifically attract eosinophils; they may be complement fragments, lymphokines, neutrophil products, histamine or other; the best known is the tetrapeptide ecf-a, released mainly by mast cells. (12 Dec 1998) |
| chemotactic factors, macrophage | Cytotaxins liberated from normal or invading cells that specifically attract macrophages. They may be lymphokines, products of antigen, antibody and complement interactions or other. (12 Dec 1998) |
| chemotactic protein methylesterase | <enzyme> Demethylates methyl-accepting chemotaxis proteins Registry number: EC 3.1.1.- Synonym: chemotactic methylesterase, carboxymethylesterase of chemotaxis, cheb methylesterase (26 Jun 1999) |
| chemotaxis | A response of motile cells or organisms in which the direction of movement is affected by the gradient of a diffusible substance. Differs from chemokinesis in that the gradient alters probability of motion in one direction only, rather than rate or frequency of random motion. (18 Nov 1997) |

| chemotherapy |
Treatment of disease or mental illness using drugs. Often used in reference to cancer. Chemotherapy for cancer involves cytotoxic drugs that target rapidly dividing cells. This treatment commonly has adverse side effects that may include the temporary loss of the body's natural immunity to infections, hair loss (alopecia), digestive upset, and a general feeling of illness.
