All terms in NCIT

Label	Id	Description
Cytokine Receptor Binding	NCIT_C40487	[A process that involves the binding of any member of the cytokine family to a cognate cytokine receptor. These interactions are involved in the regulation of responses that promote antibody synthesis and cellular immune functions.]
Unknown Cellular or Molecular Mechanism	NCIT_C40551	[An Unknown Cellular or Molecular Interaction consists of an activity or association of biologic molecules, complexes, or subcellular components that is currently undetermined.]
Kurtzke Expanded Disability Status Scale Questionnaire	NCIT_C112520	[A standardized rating scale developed by John F. Kurtzke in 1983 to measure the disability status and level of functioning in people with multiple sclerosis primarily based on ambulation. The questionnaire contains 1 question which is scored in half point scores ranging from 0 (Normal neurological exam) to 10 (Death due to MS). A score of 0 to 4.5 refers to people with a high degree of ambulatory ability; a score of 5 to 9.5 indicates the loss of ambulatory ability.]
CDK4 Gene Inactivation	NCIT_C40552
Tumor-Suppressor Gene Inactivation	NCIT_C36334
CDK4 Gene Mutation	NCIT_C150474	[A change in the nucleotide sequence of the CDK4 gene.]
Functional Assessment of Multiple Sclerosis Questionnaire	NCIT_C112521	[A standardized, disease-specific rating scale developed by Cella et al in 1996 to assess quality of life and functional status of individuals with multiple sclerosis. The questionnaire contains 58 items across 7 categories; mobility, symptoms, emotional well-being, general contentment, thinking and fatigue, family/social well-being, and additional concerns. The scoring algorithm for this questionnaire assigns a value from 0 (not at all) to 4 (very much) to each item in the response categories, and the total score ranges between 0 and 176.]
Kurtzke Functional Systems Scores Questionnaire	NCIT_C112522	[A standardized rating scale developed by John F. Kurtzke in 1983 to measure the level of functioning in people with multiple sclerosis based on a standard neurological examination. The questionnaire contains 7 functional system; pyramidal functions, cerebellar functions, brainstem functions, sensory function, bowel and bladder function, visual function, and cerebral (or mental) functions. The functional system (FS) scores collected from this questionnaire are used in conjunction with observations and information regarding ambulation and the use of assistive devices to rate the EDSS.]
Composite Lesion	NCIT_C40555
Morphologic Overlap	NCIT_C40556
Exophytic Polypoid Lesion	NCIT_C40560	[A raised, outward growing lesion from the surface epithelium or the lumen of an organ. Representative examples include adenomatous and fibroepithelial polyps.]
Endoscopic Ultrasound Biopsy	NCIT_C112516	[The use of ultrasound imaging for real-time guidance of an endoscope for a biopsy procedure.]
Ultrasound-Guided Biopsy	NCIT_C93022	[Biopsy of tissue using ultrasound imaging as an aid in directing a biopsy needle into the area of interest.]
Diagnostic Endoscopic Procedure	NCIT_C64940
Topoisomerase Interaction	NCIT_C40548	[Topoisomerase Interaction involves temporary non-covalent binding through intermolecular physical forces of attraction and spatial complementarity with enzymes that change the degree of supercoiling in DNA by cutting one or both strands. Type I topoisomerases cut only one strand of DNA, while type II topoisomerases cut both strands of DNA.]
Enzyme Interaction	NCIT_C40498	[Enzyme Interaction involves temporary non-covalent binding, typically through intermolecular physical forces of attraction and spatial complementarity, between a molecular entity and biological molecules, usually proteins, that possess catalytic activity.]
Ultrasound-Guided Transesophageal Endoscopic Fine-Needle Aspiration	NCIT_C112517	[The use of endoscopic ultrasound imaging for real-time guidance of transesophageal fine-needle aspiration.]
Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Fine-Needle Aspiration	NCIT_C67287	[The use of endoscopic ultrasound imaging for real-time guidance to identify and approach lesions for fine-needle aspiration.]
Tubulin Binding	NCIT_C40549	[Tubulin Interaction involves temporary non-covalent binding through intermolecular physical forces of attraction with highly conserved globular alpha, beta, or gamma tubulin protein subunits of microtubules.]
Airway Questionnaire 20	NCIT_C112518	[A standardized rating scale developed by Barley et al in 1988 to measure health status and detect changes in quality of life in asthmatic patients. The questionnaire contains 20 questions and each can be answered with Yes, No, or N/A (Not Applicable).]
