  阅览中常见的疾病论题类的词汇

  9-1-1   William Henry Perkin

  Although Perkin's fame was achieved and fortune assured by his first discovery, the chemist continued his research. Among other dyes he developed and introduced were aniline red (1859) and aniline black (1863) and, in the late 1860s, Perkin's green. It is important to note that Perkin's synthetic dye discoveries had outcomes far beyond the merely decorative. The dyes also became vital to medical research医学研究 in many ways. For instance, they were used to stain previously invisible microbes微生物 and bacteria细菌, allowing researchers to identify such bacilli杆菌 astuberculosis糖尿病, cholera霍乱, and anthrax炭疽. Artificial dyes continue to play a crucial role today. And, in what would have been particularly pleasing toper kin, their current use is in the search for a vaccine疫苗 against malaria疟疾.

  bacteria, germ, virus, bug, microbe

  这组词都有“致病的微生物”的意思,其区别是:

  bacteria (系bacterium的复数方式),泛指任安在动植物体中广泛传播的微生物细菌,其中有的对生命体无害,有的能导致流行症或严峻疾病,如天花、霍乱等。

  germ微生物的俗称,专指引起人体生命的病菌。

  virus技能用语,特指病毒或过滤性病原体。

  bug非正式用词,指细菌或由病毒所引起的流行症。

  microbe本义指在显微镜下才能见到的微生物,现在多指引起疾病的细菌。

  9-1-1   William Henry Perkin

The antiseptic抗菌的;防腐的 properties of tannin, the active ingredient in tea and of hops in beer - plus the fact both are made with boiled water - allowed urban communities to flourish at close quarters without succumbing to waterborne diseases水生疾病 such as dysentery痢疾.

  12-7-2  the intersection of health sciences and geography

  C In some countries, geographical factors influence the health and well-being of the population in very obvious ways. In many large cities, the wind is not strong enough to clear the air of the massive amounts of smog and pollution that cause asthma哮喘, lung problems肺部问题, eyesight issues视力问题 and more in the people who live there. Part of the problem is, of course, the massive number of cars being driven, in addition to factories that run on coal power. The rapid industrialization of some countries in recent years has also led to the cutting down of forests to allow for the expansion of big cities, which makes it even harder to fight the pollution with the fresh air that is produced by plants.

  D It is in situations like these that the field of health geography comes into its own. It is an increasingly important area of study in a world where diseases like polio小儿麻痹症 are re-emerging, respiratory diseases呼吸道疾病 continue to spread, and malaria-prone areas are still fighting to find a better cure.

  14-3-2  saving bugs to find new drugs

  E From the tiny proportion of insects that have been investigated, several promising compounds have been identified. For example, alloferon, an antimicrobial抗微生物的 compound化合物 produced by blow fly larvae幼虫, is used as an antiviral抗病毒的 and antitumor抗肿瘤的 agent in South Korea and Russia. The larvae of a few other insect species are being investigated for the potent antimicrobial compounds they produce. Meanwhile, a compound from the venom of the wasp Polybia paulista has potential in cancer癌症 treatment.

  malignant tumor恶性肿瘤

  benign tumor良性肿瘤
