    Abstract: A dialysis apparatus has a connection channel that communicatively connects a dialysate circuit and a blood circuit, and circulates dialysate from the dialysate circuit to the blood circuit via the connection channel during a priming operation. A blood pump has a tube attachment device that switches from an unattached state in which a tube is positioned outside a housing and permits liquid to circulate thereinside, to an attached state in which the tube is in the housing and a rotor compresses the tube. At the time of priming, the liquid feeding pump feeds dialysate from the dialysate circuit to the blood circuit via the connection channel. With the blood pump being in the unattached state, the dialysate is circulated past the blood pump, and then, with the blood pump in the attached state, the dialysate is circulated in a direction opposite to the blood pump.

    Abstract: A dentin regenerative cell culture that can bring about a rapid regeneration of dentin in a deficit region. In the treatment of a tooth using the dentin regenerative cell culture, a root canal where a pulpectomy has been performed is filled with a root canal filler containing dental pulp stem cells. The dentin regenerative cell culture is then implanted in the deficit region of dentin, and temporary sealing with a packing is carried out. The dentin regenerative cell culture is formed three-dimensionally in conformity with the shape of the deficit region with the coalescence of cell masses of a plurality of odontoblasts, and thus the dentin regeneration is well promoted. In addition, gaps between the dentin regenerative cell culture and biological tissue can be rapidly filled. Infection due to bacterial infiltration can thereby be prevented.

    Abstract: A chuck for a capping machine includes a plurality of chuck members, a biasing member configured to bias the plurality of chuck members radially inward, an abutting portion configured to abut against a top face of a cap, and a plurality of chuck jaws provided on an inner surface of each of the plurality of chuck members to engage knurls of the cap. Each of the plurality of chuck jaws includes a leading flank and a trailing flank. An angle of the trailing flank with respect to an outer circumference of the cap is less than an angle of the leading flank with respect to the outer circumference of the cap.

    Abstract: A liquid is efficiently suctioned and discharged from and to a container formed by a plurality of aligned storing portions for storing the liquid, using a plurality of nozzles. Provided is a liquid suction/discharge device including a container support device for supporting a culture container formed by a plurality of aligned storing portions, and a nozzle support device for supporting a plurality of nozzles in a state in which distal ends of the nozzles are directed downward. The nozzle support device includes a nozzle support member that swingably supports the plurality of nozzles using prescribed parts as support points, and the liquid suction/discharge device further includes a nozzle inclination device for causing each of the nozzles to be inclined with respect to the nozzle support member.

    Abstract: A container processing system includes a filling apparatus and a sterilization apparatus, the filling apparatus including first processing units adapted to process a container held by a gripper at stop positions with a sixth rotating body being rotated while intermittently stopped, the sterilization apparatus including a servomotor adapted to stop the container held by a gripper at an appropriate processing position by driving a second rotating body. During one intermittent motion of the filling apparatus, the sterilization apparatus rotates the gripper of the second rotating body once and thereby moves the gripper from a receiving position for the container to the processing position, stops the gripper there, and then moves the gripper to a transfer position.

    Abstract: A liquid containing exosomes is filtered through a first filter that has a hole diameter that passes the exosomes and blocks cells, and is then stored in a first storage unit (rough filtration step). Next, pressure is applied to the inside of the first storage unit to pump the liquid to a pre-filtration chamber in a second filter that blocks the exosomes so that water in the liquid is filtered out into a post-filtration chamber. The exosome-containing liquid that was not filtered out is returned to the first storage unit, thereby increasing the exosome concentration in the liquid for extraction (concentration step). The exosome-containing concentrate in the first storage unit is then filtered through a third filter having a hole diameter that passes the exosomes and blocks bacteria, and is sent to a recovery unit (sterilization filtration step).

    Abstract: A filling system includes a center wheel that conveys vessels, a first filler provided with a plurality of filling heads, a second filler provided with a plurality of filling heads and arranged downstream from the first filler, a first inlet wheel that receives the vessels from the center wheel and supplies the vessels to the first filler, and a second inlet wheel that receives the vessel from the center wheel and supplies the vessels to the second filler. Operation modes are switchable between a first operation mode that conveys the vessels to the first filler and a second operation mode that conveys the vessels to the second filler instead of conveying to the first filler by controlling the reception of the vessels at the first and second inlet wheels.
