| 영문 | gene therapy | 한글 | 유전자요법 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 유전병을 치료할 목적으로, 정상적으로 기능하는 단일유전자 혹은 복수유전자를 어떤 기원에서 얻어내어 생세포에 도입하는 것. 유전물질은 유전자삽입 조작에 의해 수용세포에로 도입된다. 즉, 유전자를 끼워 넣은 새로운 세포를 사용하는 치료로서 1980년 미국의 학자가 지중해빈혈환자에게 강행하여 비판을 받았지만, 미국 국립보건연구소는 1990년 9월 아데노신 데아미나아제(adenosine deaminase, ADA) 결핍증 환자의 림프구에 ADA 유전자를 끼워 넣는 치료를 시작한 이래 현재는 암을 포함한 많은 질병들을 치료하는 목적으로 쓰인다. |

| 영문 | Electric convulsive therapy(ECT) | 한글 | 전기경련요법 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 뇌에 전기 자극을 주어 인위적으로 경련을 유발함으로써 정신 병을 치료하는 방법. 전기쇼크요법(electroshock therapy)이라고도 한다. 1938년에 이탈리아의 체를레티와 비니에 의해 시작되었다. 작용기전은 확실치 않으나 뇌의 신진대사, 생화학 및 효소 등에 변화를 일으킨다는 생물학적, 생화학적 학설이 유력하다. 적응증으로 가장 효과적인 병은 우울증으로 특히 여성에서 갱년기에 호발하는 갱년기 우울증, 우울증과 조증(아주 기분이 좋은 상태가 지속되는 정신병)이 일정한 주기를 두고 반복하는 조울증에 잘 쓰이며, 80~90%에서 효과가 있다. |

| Corrigan's pulse | <clinical sign> A full hard pulse followed by a sudden collapse easily palpated and occurring in aortic regurgitation. Synonym: Corrigan's pulse. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| coupled pulse | A pulse in which the beats occur in pairs. Synonym: bigemina, coupled pulse, pulsus bigeminus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| half amplitude pulse duration | The time, in milliseconds, required for a wave form to reach half of its full magnitude. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hard pulse | A pulse that strikes forcibly against the tip of the finger and is with difficulty compressed, suggesting hypertension. Synonym: pulsus durus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pulse | <cardiology, physiology> The impulse transmitted to arteries by contraction of the left ventricle of the heart. Customarily palpated at the radial artery in the wrist. The pulse can provide information concerning the number of cardiac contractions per minute (rate) and the overall regularity of the contractions (rhythm). (15 Dec 1997) |
| pulse chase | <biochemistry> An experimental protocol used to determine cellular pathways, such as precursor product relationships. A sample organism, cell or cellular organelle), is exposed for a relatively brief time to a radioactively labelled molecule, the pulse. It is then replaced with an excess of the unlabelled molecule, the chase (cold chase). The sample is then examined at various later times to determine the fate of radioactivity incorporated during the pulse. (15 Dec 1997) |
| pulse-chase experiment | An experiment in which an enzyme, a metabolic pathway, a culture of cells, etc., interacts with a brief addition (pulse) of a labelled compound followed by its removal and replacement (chase) by an excess of unlabelled compound. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pulse curve | <physiology> A tracing, called a pulse tracing, consisting of a series of curves corresponding with the beats of the heart, obtained by the application of the sphygmograph. Origin: Gr. Pulse + -gram. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| pulse deficit | The absence of palpable pulse waves in a peripheral artery for one or more heart beats, as is often seen in atrial fibrillation, the number of such missing pulse waves (usually expressed as heart rate minus pulse rate per minute). (05 Mar 2000) |
| pulse duration | The interval between onset of the leading edge and the end of the trailing edge of a pulse wave. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pulse field electrophoresis | <investigation> A method used for high resolution electrophoretic separation of very large (megabase) fragments of DNA. Electric fields 100 |
| pulse-field gel electrophoresis | Gel electrophoresis in which, after electrophoretic migration has begun, the current is briefly stopped and reapplied in a different orientation; allows for the purification of long DNA molecules. Synonym: pulsed-field gel electrophoresis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pulse generator | A device that produces an electrical discharge with a regular or rhythmic wave form in which the electromotive force varies in a specific pattern in relation to time; e.g., in an electronic pacemaker, it produces an electric discharge at regular intervals, and these intervals may be modified by a sensory circuit which can reset the time-base for subsequent discharge on the basis of other electrical activity, such as that produced by spontaneous cardiac beating. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pulse granuloma | <pathology> An inflammatory infiltrate containing foreign body giant cells and eosinophilic material. Fragments of foreign material resembling vegetable matter may be included. Synonym: pulse granuloma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pulse height analyzer | Electronic circuitry that determines the energy of scintillations recorded by a detector, allowing use of a discriminator to select for photons of a specific type. (05 Mar 2000) |
