| feruloyl-4-coumaroyl esterase | <enzyme> From penicillium pinophilum; releases ferulic acid and para-coumaric acid from esterified wheat straw xylan; can also release acetic acid from p-nitrophenyl acetate and from an acetylated xylan; acts synergistically with celluclast Registry number: EC 3.1.1.- Synonym: fc esterase (26 Jun 1999) |
|---|---|
| feruloyl esterase | <enzyme> Splits ester bond of methyl 5-o-feruloylarabinofuranoside to release ferulic acid; see also record for feruloyl-4-coumaroyl esterase Registry number: EC 3.1.1.- Synonym: ferulic acid esterase (26 Jun 1999) |
| 4-nitrobenzyl esterase | <enzyme> Catalyses the hydrolysis of several beta-lactam p-nitrobenzyl (pnb) esters to the corresponding free acid and pnb alcohol; genbank u06089 Registry number: EC 3.1.1.- Synonym: p-nitrobenzyl esterase, pnb carboxy-esterase, pnbce, pnba protein, pnba gene product (26 Jun 1999) |
| 60kDa glycoprotein esterase | <enzyme> Mw appr. 60kda; from liver microsomes; amino acid sequence given in jbc 1987;262(31):15316 Registry number: EC 3.1.- Synonym: carboxyesterase gp60a, carboxyesterase gp60b (26 Jun 1999) |
| leukocyte esterase | <enzyme> The presence of leukocyte esterase is indirect evidence for the presence of white blood cells in the urine. The standard urinalysis dip test allows for the quick determination of leukocyte esterase presence via a colour reaction on a urine test strip. A positive test indicates a urinary tract infection.

| arthritis, juvenile rheumatoid | Rheumatoid arthritis of children occurring in three major subtypes defined by the symptoms present during the first six months following onset: systemic-onset (still's disease, juvenile-onset) polyarticular-onset, and pauciarticular-onset. Adult-onset cases of still's disease (still's disease, adult-onset) are also known. Only one subtype of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (polyarticular-onset, rheumatoid factor-positive) clinically resembles adult rheumatoid arthritis and is considered its childhood equivalent.

| benign juvenile melanoma | A benign, slightly pigmented or red superficial small skin tumour composed of spindle-shaped, epithelioid, and multinucleated cells that may appear atypical; most common in children, but also appearing in adults. Synonym: benign juvenile melanoma, epithelioid cell nevus, spindle cell nevus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rheumatoid arthritis, systemic-onset juvenile | Also known as systemic-onset juvenile chronic arthritis. Still's disease presents with systemic (bodywide) illness including high intermittent fever, a salmon-coloured skin rash, swollen lymph glands, enlargement of the liver and spleen, and inflammation of the lungs (pleuritis) and around the heart (pericarditis). The arthritis may not be immediately apparent but it does appear and may persist after the systemic symptoms are gone. (12 Dec 1998) |
| periodontitis, juvenile | Localised periodontitis in teenagers and young adults. The onset is during the circumpubertal period but the diagnosis can be made beyond puberty. Lesions are confined predominantly to the first permanent molars or incisors and the distribution of lesions is usually symmetrical. The gingiva may appear normal. The lesions are highly active immediately following puberty but later destruction may slow or cease spontaneously. The disease is four times more prevalent in females than males and more prevalent in african americans than in other races or ethnic groups. (12 Dec 1998) |
| xanthogranuloma, juvenile | Benign disorder of infants and children characterised by multiple nodules with lipid-laden, non-langerhans-cell histiocytes. (12 Dec 1998) |
| systemic-onset juvenile chronic arthritis | See: Systemic-onset juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (still's disease). (12 Dec 1998) |
| systemic-onset juvenile rheumatoid arthritis | <rheumatology> A form of joint disease, arthritis, that presents with systemic upset. Clinical signs: high intermittent fever, a salmon-coloured skin rash, swollen lymph glands, enlargement of the liver and spleen, and inflammation of the lungs (pleuritis) and around the heart (pericarditis). The arthritis itself may not be immediately apparent but once apparent, it may persist after the systemic symptoms have resolved. Synonym: Still's disease. (03 Jul 1999) |
| juvenile | Pertaining to youth or childhood, young or immature. (18 Nov 1997) |
| juvenile absence epilepsy | A generalised epilepsy syndrome with onset around puberty, characterised by absence seizures and generalised tonic-clonic seizures. EEG often shows a greater than 3 Hz generalised spike wave pattern. (05 Mar 2000) |
| juvenile angiofibroma | <oncology, tumour> A benign tumour of the posterior nasopharynx that is most common in adolescent boys. Symptoms repeated epistaxis, nasal congestion, nasal discharge and hearing loss. A skull X-ray or a CT scan of the head can confirm the presence of an angiofibroma. Treatment may include the surgical removal of the lesion if it is enlarging or blocking the airway. (27 Sep 1997) |
