| 영문 | blood test | 한글 | 혈액검사 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 혈액형이나 질병 유무 따위를 알기 위하여 피를 뽑아 행하는 검사. 몸 전체의 장기나 조직에 병터가 있으면 이들 성분에 변화가 있게 되어 진단에 큰 도움을 준다. |

| 영문 | blood-brain barrier | 한글 | 혈액뇌장벽 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 혈액으로부터 뇌로는 지질용해성이 높은 약물밖에 이행되지 않는다. 수용성의 약물을 뇌로 이행되지 않게 하고 있는 것이 혈액뇌장벽이며 뇌의 모세혈관 내피세포, 모세혈관 주위의 세포가 장벽이 되고 있다. 물질교환은 수동확산에 의해 이루어지지만, 뇌의 생리적 활동에 필요한 물질은 이온형이라도 담체를 통해 이행된다. |

| 영문 | blood volume | 한글 | 혈액량 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 체내에 존재하는 혈액의 총량으로서, 보통 리터 또는 체중 1kg에 대하여 리터수로 표시한다. |

| 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. |

| 영문 | blood product | 한글 | 혈액제제 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 1. 사람의 혈액을 성분별로 분리하여, 그것을 원료로 제조한 의약품. 악성 종양 따위에 수혈하는 적혈구, 백혈병-자색반병의 출혈을 멎게하는 혈소판, 화상의 치료에 쓰는 혈장, 산후 출혈을 멎게 하는 섬유소원 따위가 있다. 2. 사람의 혈액형을 검사하는데 쓰는 약. |

one and one-half syndrome
| cholinergic agent | An agent that mimics the action of the parasympathetic nervous system (e.g., methacholine). (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| cholinergic parasympathomimetic agent | <pharmacology> A chemical substance that causes the release of choline (acetylcholine) from parasympathetic nerve endings. (15 Jan 1998) |
| Pittsburgh pneumonia agent | A species that causes Pittsburgh pneumonia, a variant of Legionnaires' disease. Accounts for approximately 60% of Legionella pneumonias other than those caused by Legionella pneumophila. Synonym: Pittsburgh pneumonia agent. (05 Mar 2000) |
| contrast agent | A substance that is introduced into or around a structure and, because of the difference in absorption of X-rays by the contrast medium and the surrounding tissues, allows radiographic visualisation of the structure. (18 Nov 1997) |
| sclerosing agent | A compound which acts by irritation of the veinous intimal epithelium; used in the treatment of varicose veins. (05 Mar 2000) |
| high osmolar contrast agent | Ionic water-soluble iodinated contrast media. Synonym: high osmolar contrast medium. (05 Mar 2000) |
| psychotropic agent | A chemical compound that influences the human psyche. (05 Mar 2000) |
| slow channel-blocking agent | calcium channel-blocking agent |
| narcotic analgesic agent | <pharmacology> Medications that relieve pain but have addictive potential if used regularly. Examples include: meperidine, morphine, propoxyphene, codeine, hydrocodone, oxycodone, hydromorphone, nalbuphine, butorphanol and heroin. (27 Sep 1997) |
| neuroleptic agent | Any of a family of drugs producing sedation and tranquilization (e.g., chlorpromazine, haloperidol). See: antipsychotic agent. Synonym: neuroleptic. (05 Mar 2000) |
| neuromuscular blocking agent | A group of drugs that prevent motor nerve endings from exciting skeletal muscle. They act either by competing for the neurotransmitter, acetylcholine, (like D-tubocurarine, mivacurium and pancuronium), or by first stimulating the postjunctional muscle membrane and subsequently desensitizing the muscle endplates to the acetylcholine (like succinylcholine or decamethonium); used in surgery to produce paralysis and facilitate manipulation of muscles. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nondepolarising neuromuscular blocking agent | A compound that paralyzes skeletal muscle primarily by inhibiting transmission of nerve impulses at the neuromuscular junction rather than by affecting the membrane potention of motor endplate or muscle fibres. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Norwalk agent | A strain of epidemic gastroenteritis virus that appears to be related to the calciviruses. Origin: Norwalk, Ohio, where first implicated in disease (05 Mar 2000) |
| surface-active agent | Agents that modify interfacial tension of water; usually substances that have one lipophilic and one hydrophilic group in the molecule; includes soaps, detergents, emulsifiers, dispersing and wetting agents, and several groups of antiseptics. (12 Dec 1998) |
| delta agent | A rare form of viral transfusion hepatitis. A defective viral agent that occurs only in association with hepatitis B infection. The delta agent may also increase the severity of hepatitis B infection. Complications include chronic persistent hepatitis and fulminant hepatitis. A test known as anti-delta agent antibody is positive and used to confirm the diagnosis. Treatment is the same as for hepatitis B. (27 Sep 1997) |
