| 영문 | Parkinson disease | 한글 | 파킨슨병 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 나이든 사람에게 발생하는 신경계의 퇴행병이다. 주로 운동을 담당하는 중간뇌부위가 침범된다. 원인은 바이러스, 약물, 혹은 동맥경화증 등으로 알려진 경우도 있으나, 원인을 알 수 없는 경우가 많다. 증상은 가면얼굴, 쓰러질 것 같은 걸음걸이, 손떨림, 근육의 강직, 앞으로 기울어진 자세 등임. 치료는 특별한 것이 없으며, 대개 보존적 치료(완치를 목적으로 하지 않고 단지 환자의 생활을 보조해주는 정도의 치료)를 시행한다. 최근, 죽은 태아의 뇌를 이식하는 뇌 이식술에 의한 치료효과가 높다는 보고가 있다. |

| 영문 | endemic disease | 한글 | 풍토병 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 인간사회에 항상 존재하지만 특수한 기후나 토질로 인하여 특정지역에만 존재하는 사망률이 낮고, 임상적으로도 드물게 볼 수 있는 병. 특히 그 토지의 풍토-기후-생물-토양 등의 자연환경과 그 지방 주민의 풍속-습관-인습 등이 복잡하게 얽혀서 생긴 특수한 병을 가리킨다. 일반적으로 그 지방 주민의 사망률은 그다지 높지 않지만 근절되기 어려운 것이 특징이다. 지방병이라는 말은 어느 지방에 한정하여 볼 수 있는 병이라는 점에서는 같지만, 풍토환경과 밀접한 관계가 있다는 데서 보면 풍토병이라는 용어가 적절하다. 국내적으로는 쯔쯔가무시병, 야생토끼병, 렙토스피라증 등이 알려져 있고, 세계적으로는 말라리아, 황열, 페트스, 일본주혈흡충증 등이 알려져 있다. |

|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 악성림프종의 한 형태이다. 호지킨병은 방사선 치료에 대단히 예민해서 충분한 양의 방사선으로 완전한 근치적 치료가 가능하다. |

| cells, reproductive | The eggs and sperm are the reproductive cells. Each mature reproductive cell is haploid in that it has a single set of 23 chromosomes. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| Renshaw cells | Inhibitory interneurons that are innervated by collaterals from motoneurons and in turn form synapses with the same and adjacent motoneurons to exert inhibition; identified physiologically and by intracellular injection technic. (05 Mar 2000) |
| reproductive cells | The eggs and sperm are the reproductive cells. Each mature reproductive cell is haploid in that it has a single set of 23 chromosomes. (12 Dec 1998) |
| retinal ganglion cells | Cells of the innermost nuclear layer of the retina, the ganglion cell layer, which project axons through the optic nerve to the brain. They are quite variable in size and in the shapes of their dendritic arbors, which are generally confined to the inner plexiform layer. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Goormaghtigh's cells | Cell's, located at the vascular pole of the renal corpuscle that secrete renin and form a component of the juxtaglomerular complex; they are modified smooth muscle cell's primarily of the afferent arteriole of the renal glomerulus. Synonym: Goormaghtigh's cells. (05 Mar 2000) |
| merkel cells | Nondendritic, nonkeratinocytic epithelial clear cells normally found in the epidermis and dermis of mammals and humans. They are believed to be of neuroendocrine origin and function as a specific slowly adapting sensory touch receptor. The merkel cell was first described by friedrich sigmund merkel, german anatomist in 1875. (12 Dec 1998) |
| granule cells | Small nerve cell bodies in the external and internal granular layers of the cerebral cortex, small nerve cell bodies in the granular layer of the cerebellar cortex. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mesenchymal cells | Fusiform or stellate cell's found between the ectoderm and endoderm of young embryos; the shape of the cell's in fixed material is indicative of the fact that in life they were moving from their place of origin to areas where they would become reaggregated and specialised; most mesenchymal cell's are derived from established mesodermal layers, but in the cephalic region they also develop from neural crest or neural tube ectoderm; they are the most strikingly pluripotential cell's in the embryonic body, developing at different locations into any of the types of connective or supporting tissues, to smooth muscle, to vascular endothelium, and to blood cells. (05 Mar 2000) |
| granulosa cells | Cells of the membrana granulosa lining the vesicular ovarian follicle which become luteal cells after ovulation. (12 Dec 1998) |
| granulosa lutein cells | Cell's derived from the membrana granulosa of a mature ovarian follicle that secrete both oestrogen and progesterone, and form the major component of the corpus luteum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| chief cells, gastric | Epithelial cells that line the basal half of the gastric glands. Chief cells synthesise and secrete pepsinogen, a precursor of the enzyme pepsin. (12 Dec 1998) |
| mesoglial cells | Neuroglial cells of mesodermal origin. See: microglia. Synonym: mesoglial cells. Origin: meso-+ G. Glia, glue (05 Mar 2000) |
| great alveolar cells | Cuboidal cell's connected with the squamous pulmonary alveolar cell's and having in their cytoplasm lamellated bodies (cytosomes) that represent the source of the surfactant that coats the alveoli. Synonym: granular pneumonocytes, type II cells. (05 Mar 2000) |
| peritubular contractile cells | Flattened smooth muscle-like cell's of mesodermal origin that lie just outside the basal lamina of the seminiferous tubule. Synonym: peritubular contractile cells. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Rieder cells | Abnormal myeloblasts (12 to 20 um in diameter) in which the nucleus may be widely and deeply indented (i.e., suggestive of lobulation), or may actually be a bi-or multi-lobate structure; such cell's are frequently observed in acute leukaemia, and probably represent a more rapid maturation of the nucleus than that of the cytoplasm.
