chloroleukaemia |
Synonym: chloroma. Origin: chloro-+ G. Leukos, white, + haima, blood (05 Mar 2000) |
chloroma |
<tumour> A condition characterised by the development of multiple localised green masses of abnormal cells (in most instances, myeloblasts), especially in relation to the periosteum of the skull, spine, and ribs; the clinical course is similar to that of acute myeloid leukaemia, although the tumours may precede the findings in blood and bone marrow; observed more frequently in children and young adults. See: granulocytic sarcoma. Synonym: chloroleukaemia, chloromyeloma. Origin: chloro-+ G. -oma, tumour (05 Mar 2000) |
chloromercuribenzoates |
<chemical> Chloride and mercury containing derivatives of benzoic acid. Some of these are commonly used as sulfhydryl reagents in biochemical studies. Pharmacological action: enzyme inhibitors, sulfhydryl reagents. (12 Dec 1998) |
chloromercurinitrophenols |
<chemical> Mercuriphenols substituted with one or more chlorine atoms and one or more nitro groups. Some of these are sulfhydryl reagents which act as chromophoric probes in enzymes and other proteins. Pharmacological action: sulfhydryl reagents. (12 Dec 1998) |
chloromethane |
A refrigerant with anaesthetic properties when inhaled; it hydrolyzes to methanol. Synonym: methyl chloride. (05 Mar 2000) |
chlorometry |
The measurement of chlorine content, or the use of analytical techniques involving the release or titration of chlorine. (05 Mar 2000) |
chloromuconate cycloisomerase |
<enzyme> Converts 2-chloro-5-oxo-2,5-dihydrofuran-2-acetate to 3-chloro-cis,cis-muconate, which spontaneously eliminates hcl to produce cis-4-carboxymethylbut-2-en-4-olide Registry number: EC 5.5.1.7 Synonym: muconate cycloisomerase II (26 Jun 1999) |
chloromyeloma |
Synonym: chloroma. Origin: chloro-+ G. Myelos, marrow, + -oma, tumour (05 Mar 2000) |
chloropenia |
A deficiency in chloride. Origin: chloro-+ G. Penia, poverty (05 Mar 2000) |
chloropercha |
A solution of gutta-percha in chloroform, used in dentistry as an agent to lute gutta-percha filling material to the wall of a prepared root canal. (05 Mar 2000) |
chloropercha method |
A method of filling the root canals of teeth by dissolving gutta-percha cones in a chloroform-rosin medium within the root canal. Synonym: Callahan's method, Johnson's method. (05 Mar 2000) |
chlorophenol |
One of several substitution products obtained by the action of chlorine on phenol; used as antiseptics. (05 Mar 2000) |
chlorophenol 4-monooxygenase |
<enzyme> Enzyme responsible for converting 2,4,5-trichlorophenol to 2,5-dichloro-p-hydroquinone and then to 5-chloro-1,2,4-trihydroxybenzene (5-chlorohydroxyquinol); from burkholderia cepacia ac1100 Registry number: EC 1.14.- (26 Jun 1999) |
chlorophenols |
Phenols substituted with one or more chlorine atoms in any position. (12 Dec 1998) |
