| 설명 | 뇌하수체의 성장호르몬을 분비하는 세포에서 종양이 생겼을 경우에 과도한 성장 호르몬의 생성으로 발생되는 병이다. 뼈에서 길이의 성장을 담당하는, 연골로 구성되어 있는 부위인 뼈끝이 연골에서 뼈가 생성 되어서 뼈의 길이의 성장이 일어난다. 성장이 다 된 뼈에서는 이 연골판이 없어지게 되어 양쪽의 뼈가 융합이 되고 이것이 있던 부위에 하나의 선만이 남게 된다. 뼈끝 융합이 일어나기 전에 종양이 생겼을 때는 거인증(giantism)이 일어나지만 뼈끝융합이 일어난 후에 생겼을 때는 말단비대증(acromegaly)이라는 병이 일어난다. 거인증은 소아기에는 매우 드물며, 대부분이 과도한 성장이 있는 사춘기에 일어난다. 과도한 성장호르몬의 분비에 의해서 뼈, 연골, 섬유조직 등의 과도한 성장이 있게 된다. 일반적으로 자각 증상은 없는 경우가 보통이며 있는 경우도 있지만 아주 경미하다. 머리뼈나 아래턱뼈가 아주 두터워지고 모든 뼈의 굵기나 크기가 증가된다. 뼈의 기능은 모두 정상이나 근육의 힘이 약해 있는 것이 대부분이다. 검사상으로 혈액중에 성장 호르몬치가 높으며, 치료는 외과적으로 뇌하수체에 생긴 종양을 절제하는 방법과 방사선을 쬐어서 그 종양을 없애는 방법이 있다. |

| acromegalic gigantism | A form of pituitary gigantism in which the signs of acromegaly accompany abnormal height. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| gigantism | A condition where there is over-production of growth hormone by the pituitary gland in a child before the bone growth plates close, resulting in excessive long bone growth. (27 Sep 1997) |
| cerebral gigantism | A syndrome characterised by increased birth weight and length (above 90th percentile), accelerated growth rate for the first 4 or 5 years without elevation of serum growth hormone levels, and then reversion to normal growth rate; characteristic facies include prognathism, hypertelorism, antimongoloid slant, and dolichocephalic skull; moderate mental retardation and impaired coordination are also associated. See: Sotos' syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pituitary gigantism | Excessive growth due to overactivity of the pituitary gland (specifically of the anterior pituitary). (12 Dec 1998) |
| primordial gigantism | Unusually large size from birth due to familial or genetic factors or intrauterine environment (e.g., maternal prediabetic state) and not to hyperpituitarism. (05 Mar 2000) |
| eunuchoid gigantism | Gigantism with deficient development of sexual organs; may be of pituitary or gonadal origin; gigantism accompanied by body proportions typical of hypogonadism during adolescence. (05 Mar 2000) |
| foetal gigantism | Excessive foetal or newborn size, e.g., cerebral gigantism and infants of diabetic mothers. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior focal point | The point where parallel rays from the retina are focused. (05 Mar 2000) |
| back focal length | <microscopy> As measured on the principal axis, from the second lens vertex to the back focal point of the lens. It is not the equivalent of the focal length. (05 Aug 1998) |
| back focal plane | <microscopy> The plane, normal to the lens axis, situated at the back focus of a lens. (05 Aug 1998) |
| Berger's focal glomerulonephritis | Glomerulonephritis affecting a small proportion of renal glomeruli which commonly presents with haematuria and may be associated with acute upper respiratory infection in young males, not usually due to streptococci; associated with IgA deposits in the glomerular mesangium and may also be associated with systemic disease, as in Henoch-Schonlein purpura. Synonym: Berger's disease, Berger's focal glomerulonephritis, focal nephritis, IgA nephropathy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| glomerulosclerosis, focal | Glomerular disease characterised by focal and segmental areas of glomerular sclerosis, usually commencing in the juxtamedullary glomeruli and gradually spreading to involve other parts of the kidney, with eventual kidney failure. (12 Dec 1998) |
| chronic focal sclerosing osteomyelitis | A reaction of bone to a mild bacterial infection, often the result of a carious tooth, in persons with a high degree of tissue resistance; results in a localised radio-opacity. Synonym: focal condensing osteitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| plane, focal | <microscopy> A plane through the focal point perpendicular to the principle axis of a lens or mirror. (05 Aug 1998) |
| positive focal length | <microscopy> Any lens which converges parallel rays to a focus at the back of the lens is a positive lens and has a positive focal length. The focal length is measured from the second principal point of the lens to the point on the lens axis where the rays from an infinitely distant point are brought to focus. See: negative focal length. (05 Aug 1998) |
