|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 심장의 수축력을 증감시키는 약물을 말한다. 기본적으로 심근수축력을 증강시켜 심장박출량을 증가시키는 약물이다. 강심배당체, 포스포디에스트라아제 억제제, 아드레날린 β수용체작용제, 혈관확장제 등이 있다. 대표적인 예로서는 디곡신(digoxine) 등의 디지탈리스(digitalis)가 있다. |

| 영문 | alkylating agent | 한글 | 알킬화약물 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 항암제의 일종. 이상적인 항암제는 정상적인 세포에는 해를 주지 않고 단지 암세포에만 치명적인 효과를 나타내야 한다. 이렇게 하려면 암세포만의 특이한 특성을 이해하고 그곳에만 작용하는 약물을 개발해야 한다. 현재 대부분의 항암제는 암세포가 정상 세포에 비하여 월등히 증식을 빨리한다는 특성을 이용하고 있다. 증식이 빠르다는 것은 다시 말하면 유전 정보를 가지고 있는 DNA의 복제가 빠르다는 것을 의미한다. 만약 DNA의 복제를 방해한다면 증식이 아주 빠른 암세포에게는 치명적이지만 영원히 증식을 하지 않는 DNA의 복제가 거의 필요없는)신경세포나 증식이 암세포에 비해서 아주 느린 정상세포에는 거의 영향을 주지 못한다. 하지만 신체에서도 증식이 암세포와 비슷한 수준으로 일어나는 정상적인 세포가 있는데 그것은 머리카락을 만드는 모낭세포와 소화관의 점막을 이루는 세포와 혈액의 세포를 만드는 골수 세포이다. 그러므로 항암제를 사용할 경우 암세포와 마찬가지로 이들 세포도 함께 치명적인 영향을 입을 것은 당연하다(그래서 항암제 치료시엔 머리가 빠지고 소화불량이 잘 온다). 알칼화약물의 경우에는 DNA와 직접 결합을 하여 DNA의 복제를 억제함으로써 항암제의 역할을 수행한다. |

| 영문 | anti-inflammatory agent | 한글 | 항염증제, 소염제, 염증약 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 국소에 작용하여 염증을 치료하고 방지하는 약. 염증을 가라앉히는 약을 말한다. 조직을 긴축-치밀하게 하여 장액과 점액의 분비를 줄이고, 표면에 있는 작은 혈관에 빈혈을 일으켜 충혈되는 것을 방지함으로써 염증적 병변을 제거하여 모든 증세를 없앤다. 대부분의 수렴제-완화제-진양제가 이에 속한다. 중요한 성분으로는 알루미늄-비스무트-아연-납화합물(병반-페르마톨-아연화-연당 등) 등이 있다. 작용에 따라 항염증진통제와 항염증효소제로 나뉜다. |

| biological agent | <microbiology> A disease-causing microorganism or virus, or other toxic biological matter, which is used as a weapon during war. (21 Mar 1998) |

| biological | Pertaining to biology. (18 Nov 1997) |
|---|---|
| biological assay | <technique> Once a pharmaceutical protein is isolated from the cells in which it was grown, researchers perform tests to measure the protein's biological activity. It must maintain a certain minimal level of biological activity to be used for animal or clinical testing or, later, for market. Researchers also test to confirm that the isolated protein is identical to the desired protein. (21 Mar 1998) |
| biological assessment | A specific process required as part of an environmental assessment. An evaluation of potential effects of a proposed project on proposed, endangered, threatened, and sensitive animal and plant species and their habitats. (05 Dec 1998) |
| biological availability | The extent to which the active ingredient of a drug dosage form becomes available at the site of drug action or in a biological medium believed to reflect accessibility to a site of action. (12 Dec 1998) |
| biological chemistry | The scientific study of the chemistry of living cells, tissues, organs and organisms. (09 Oct 1997) |
| biological clock | <biology, physiology> An internal biological mechanism which controls certain biological rhythms and biocycles, such as metabolism, sleep cycles, photosynthesis. (21 Mar 1998) |
| biological clocks | The physiological mechanisms that govern the rhythmic occurrence of certain biochemical, physiological, and behavioural phenomena in plants and animals. The pineal gland, which receives input from the optic nerves and connects to the hypothalamus, may be the biological clock in humans. (12 Dec 1998) |
| biological coefficient | Rarely used term denoting the energy expended by the body at rest. (05 Mar 2000) |
| biological containment | <molecular biology> Refers to any number of methods to contain genetically engineered organisms by creating biochemical barriers to prevent them from growing outside the laboratory. In the case of bacteria and yeasts, genes in the organisms may be altered so that they need to have a supply of a nutrient that is normally found only in the laboratory. (21 Mar 1998) |
| biological control | <agriculture> The agricultural use of living things, such as parasites, diseases, and predators, to control or eliminate others, such as weeds and pests, rather than by using chemicals (herbicides and pesticides). (21 Mar 1998) |
| biological dressings | Human or animal tissue used as temporary wound coverings. (12 Dec 1998) |
| biological engineering | <agriculture> A type of artificial selection, the creation of plant or animal breeds that are agriculturally or industrially useful. Compare: natural selection. (21 Mar 1998) |
| biological factors | Compounds made by living organisms. They have biological or physiological activities. (12 Dec 1998) |
| biological half-life | <biochemistry, biology> This is the time required for one-half of the total amount of a particular substance in a biological system to be consumed or broken down by biological processes when the rate of removal is approximately exponential. Toxic chemicals with a long biological half-life (such as some pesticides) will tend to accumulate in the body and are, therefore, more likely to be harmful. A substance with a short biological half-life may still accumulate if a portion of it it becomes tightly bound to bone or other tissues, even if most of it is quickly cleared from the body. (21 Mar 1998) |
| biological hazard potential | <radiobiology> Measure of the hazard posed by a given quantity of radioactive material in which the variation in biological effects of the various elements are accounted for. See: integrated biological hazard potential. (21 Mar 1998) |
