| 영문 | blood urea nitrogen | 한글 | 혈액요소질소 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 요소는 아미노산의 탈아미노에 의해 생긴 암노니아와 탄산가스로부터 간에서 합성된다. 혈중에서는 혈장과 혈구의 물성분 안에 함유되어 있다. 혈액요소질소는 콩팥토리에서 여과되며 일부 요세관에서 재흡수되고, 나머지가 오줌중에 배설된다. 따라서 혈액요소질소는 콩팥기능의 저하에 따라 증가되지만, 식사단백질 섭취량, 조직붕괴, 위장관 출혈 등과 탈수 등 순환혈액량의 이상으로 변동된다. |

|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 사람의 적혈구 표면에는 여러 가지 항원성을 가진 물질이 존재한다. 즉 면역학적 반응을 일으킬 수 있는 물질을 표면에 가지고 있다. 그리고 사람의 피속에는 이것과 반응할 수가 있는 항체도 존재한다. 사람의 혈액은 이것에 따라 몇가지 형으로 분류할 수가 있고, 이것을 혈액형이라고 한다. 혈액형은 적혈구 표면에 있는 어떤 물질을 기준으로 하느냐에 따라서 여러 가지로 분류될 수 있다. 대표적인 혈액형의 구분 방법에는 ABO혈액형과 Rh혈액형이 있다. 1. ABO 혈액형 가장 많이 사용되고 있는 혈액형 구분법. 적혈구 표면에는 A, B형의 두 가지 물질을 하나, 혹은 둘, 또는 하나도 가지지 않을 수가 있다. 그리고 피속에는 이것과 반응해서 적혈구를 파괴하거나 응집시킬 수 있는 물질(항체)이 존재한다. 물론 자신의 적혈구가 가지고 있는 물질에 대한 항체는 존재하지 않는다. -A형 혈액형－적혈구 표면에 A항원, 혈액속에 B에 대한 항체 -B형 혈액형－적혈구 표면에 B항원, 혈액속에 A에 대한 항체 -AB형 혈액형－적혈구 표면에 A, B항원, 혈액속에 A,B에 대한 항체를 가지지 않는다. -O형 혈액형－적혈구 표면에 A, B항원 모두를 가지지 않고, 혈액속에 A, B에 대한 항원을 모두 가진다. 대개 이것을 이용하여 수혈의 타당성 여부를 조사한다. 만약 A형 혈액형을 가진 사람의 피를 B형 혈액형의 사람에게 수혈하면 B형 혈액형을 가진 자의 피속에 있는 A에 대한 항체때문에 들어온 A형의 적혈구는 파괴되거나, 응집이 된다. O형의 혈액형을 가진 사람의 혈액의 적혈구는 표면에 A, B의 어떠한 물질도 가지고 있지 않아서 어떠한 혈액형을 가진 사람에게 수혈해도 반응을 일으키지 않는다. 이와 같은 원리로 AB형의 혈액형을 가진 사람은 혈액속에 A, B에 대한 항체를 모두 가지고 있지 않으므로 어떠한 혈액형이라도 받을 수가 있다. 2. Rh혈액형 적혈구표면에 있는 D라는 물질을 기준으로 하여 혈액형을 나누는 방법. 만약 D라는 물질이 적혈구의 표면에 존재하면 Rh(+), 존재하지 않으면 Rh(－)라고 한다. ABO혈액형에서와 같이 Rh(+)혈액형을 가지는 사람의 피속에는 D라는 물질에 대한 항체가 존재하지 않지만 Rh(－)혈액형을 가진 사람의 피속에는 D에 대한 항체가 존재한다. ABO혈액형과 마찬가지로 수혈의 타당성을 결정하는데 중요한 역할을 한다. |

| 영문 | blood urea nitrogen(BUN) | 한글 | 혈중요소질소 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 혈액속의 요소를 말한다. 요소란 단백질이나 아미노산의 최종산물로써 간에서 생산되어 콩팥으로 배출되는 물질이다. 이것은 인간에게 없어서는 안될 단백질과 아미노산의 산물이므로 사람에겐 언제나 일정량이 생산된다. 콩팥의 기능이 나쁠 경우에는 이것이 콩팥으로 배설되지 못하고 몸속에 축적된다. 그러므로 콩팥의 기능측정에 이것이 이용 된다. |

| frozen-in flow law | <radiobiology> In a perfect conductor, the total magnetic flux through any surface is a constant. In a plasma which is nearly perfectly conducting, the relevant surfaces move with the plasma, the result is that the plasma is tied to the magnetic field, and the field is tied to the plasma. Motion of the plasma thus deforms the magnetic field, and vice versa. The magnetic flux is said to be frozen into the plasma. (09 Oct 1997) |

| low flow principle | A principle based on the observation that animals can survive prolonged vena caval occlusion without sequelae: if blood from the azygos vein alone is permitted to enter the heart, patients are perfused during cardiac and pulmonary bypass at flows much less than the normal resting cardiac output. Synonym: low flow principle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cardiac output, high | A state of elevated cardiac output. Conditions that lower peripheral vascular resistance, such as anaemia, arteriovenous fistulas, thyrotoxicosis, and pregnancy, are among the most important factors augmenting the venous return and therefore elevating cardiac output. Increased cardiac output also occurs in muscular exercise, fever, and severe anoxia. (12 Dec 1998) |
| radiotherapy, high-energy | Radiotherapy using high-energy (megavolt or higher) ionizing radiation. Types of radiation include gamma rays, produced by a radioisotope within a teletherapy unit; X-rays, electrons, protons, alpha particles (helium ions) and heavy charged ions, produced by particle acceleration; and neutrons and pi-mesons (pions), produced as secondary particles following bombardment of a target with a primary particle.

| mean higher high water | <marine biology> The average height of the higher high water over a 19-year period. For shorter periods of observation, corrections are applied to eliminate known variations and reduce the result to the equivalent of a mean 19-year value. (09 Oct 1997) |
| mean high water | <marine biology> The average height of the high water over a 19-year period. For shorter periods of observation, corrections are applied to eliminate known variations and reduce the result to the equivalent of a mean 19-year value. All high-waters heights are included in the average where the type of tide is either semidiurnal or mixed. Only the higher high-water heights are included in the average where the type of tide is diurnal. So determined, mean high water in the latter case is the same as mean higher high water.

| chromatography, high pressure liquid | Liquid chromatographic techniques which feature high inlet pressures, high sensitivity, and high speed. (12 Dec 1998) |
| pregnancy, high-risk | Pregnancy in which the mother and/or foetus are at greater than normal risk of morbidity or mortality. Causes include lack of adequate prenatal care, previous obstetrical history, pre-existing maternal disease or pregnancy-induced disease, and multiple gestation, as well as advanced maternal age.

| hearing loss, high-frequency | Hearing loss in frequencies above 1000 hertz. (12 Dec 1998) |
