Label	Id	Description
CPB-T	NCIT_C15129
Non-Sterile Vibratory Powder Filling Method	NCIT_C112996	[A process that fills a dosage unit using a vibrating perforated plate to deliver a powder, which is not performed under sterile conditions.]
Filling Method	NCIT_C112924	[A process that fills a dosage unit.]
Estradiol Dipropionate	NCIT_C29770	[The synthetic dipropionate ester of estradiol, a steroid sex hormone vital to the maintenance of fertility and secondary sexual characteristics in females. As the primary, most potent estrogen hormone produced by the ovaries, estradiol binds to and activates specific nuclear receptors. This agent exhibits mild anabolic and metabolic properties, and increases blood coagulability. (NCI04)]
Non-Sterile Volumetric Powder Filling Method	NCIT_C112997	[A process that fills a dosage unit with a powder by volume using gravity flow, which is not performed under sterile conditions.]
Horse Anti-mouse Anti-lymphocyte Serum	NCIT_C29771	[Heterologous antisera to mouse lymphocytes produced in horses and used to treat or prevent transplant rejection. These polyclonal antisera produced by immunization of horses with mice splenocytes exhibit some general anti-leucocyte activity as well as some antiplatelet activity and may produce varying degrees of leucopenia or thrombocytopenia; the primary effect of anti-lymphocyte antisera is to reduce the T-lymphocyte count. Antibodies directed against lymphocytes are among the most potent immunosuppressive agents available for organ transplantation. (NCI04)]
Antiserum	NCIT_C571	[A blood serum or immunoglobulin fraction that contains antibodies against specific antigens obtained from previously immunized animals.]
Powder Filling Method, Not Otherwise Specified	NCIT_C112998	[A process that fills a dosage unit with a powder in a method not otherwise specified.]
Serum, Horse	NCIT_C29772	[The serum of a healthy, unvaccinated adult horse. Sera are lipid-extracted, dialyzed, sterilized, and filtered and may contain preservatives such as sodium azide. Normal horse serum may be used as a blocking agent to reduce background from non-specific binding or as a negative control in immunoassays. (NCI04)]
Pressurized Liquid Filling Method	NCIT_C112999	[A process that fills a dosage unit with a pressurized liquid, which is not performed under sterile conditions.]
Pregnant Mare Serum Gonadotropin	NCIT_C29773	[A polypeptide hormone isolated from the equine placenta. In animals, the activity of pregnant mare serum gonadotropin is similar to that of follicle-stimulating hormone; in humans, this agent is relatively ineffective. This agent is used in veterinary medicine to stimulate ovulation. (NCI04)]
Therapeutic Gonadotropin	NCIT_C527	[A class of formulated therapeutic analogs of the endogenous gonadotropin that stimulates or promotes the function of the gonads. Therapeutic gonadotropins are derived from animal or recombinant sources. Gonadotropins include follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone and chorionic gonadotropin. These agents stimulate discrete cellular components of the gonads, exerting effects in both males and females. (NCI04)]
Non-Sterile Dosing Disk Powder Filling Method	NCIT_C112992	[A process that fills a dosage unit using a dosing disk to deliver the powder, which is not performed under sterile conditions.]
Plutonium-239	NCIT_C29774	[An artificial radioactive element with long half-life, Plutonium-239 is produced by bombarding uranium-238 with slow neutrons and is used as the explosive in nuclear weapons and as fuel for nuclear reactors. Similar to uranium, Plutonium-239 is a heavy, fissionable metal that accumulates in bones upon exposure and presents health hazards. Plutonium oxidation results in stable, easily inhaled, particulate plutonium dioxide that represents a respiratory health hazard. Plutonium ingestion is considerably less dangerous since little is absorbed in the digestive system. (NCI04)]
Radioisotope	NCIT_C799	[A version of a chemical element that has an unstable nucleus and emits radiation during its decay to a stable form. (online dictionary)]
Non-Sterile Medical Gas Filling Method	NCIT_C112993	[A process that fills a container with a purified medical gas, which is not performed under sterile conditions.]
Radium-224	NCIT_C29775	[A short-lived, alpha-emitting isotope found in ground water and soils, Radium-224 has been used in biomedical treatments. Radium-224 in drinking water is a potential health risk due to its carcinogenic effects. In the first days after intake, radium heavily concentrates in endosteal bone. Because of the 3.5-day half-life, most Ra-224 decays while on bone surfaces, possibly inducing sarcomas in cells within range of the emitted alpha particles. (NCI04)]
Non-Sterile Piston Powder Filling Method	NCIT_C112994	[A process that fills a dosage unit using a piston to deliver the powder, which is not performed under sterile conditions.]
Strontium Sr-90	NCIT_C29776	[A radioactive isotope of the heavy metal strontium, Strontium-90 is a by-product of uranium and plutonium fission. SR-90 is linked to bone, and other, cancers. Acting chemically in vivo like calcium, it tends to concentrate in bones and teeth. Used as a radioactive tracer in medical and agricultural studies, controlled amounts of strontium-90 have also been used as a treatment for bone cancer. (NCI04)]
Non-Sterile Vacuum Powder Filling Method	NCIT_C112995	[A process that fills a dosage unit using a vacuum to deliver a powder, which is not performed under sterile conditions.]
