摘要:
A process for the specific adsorption of heparin and other heparin-like substances which comprises flowing a buffered solution of whole blood, from which corpuscular blood constituents have been removed, plasma and/or solutions containing whole blood or plasma through an adsorber capsule containing a medium that adsorbs heparin and other heparin-like substances at an acid pH, preferably in the range of 4.0 to 5.5. Preferably, the process is carried out in a closed, extracorporeal circulation and the medium possesses anion exchange resin properties.
摘要:
A method of precipitating low-density lipoproteins which comprises administering to a volume of blood, plasma or solutions containing blood or plasma a therapeutically or diagnostically effective amount of a low-density lipoprotein precipitating substance at an acid pH such that an anticoagulent effect associated with heparin is minimized or eliminated. The substances utilized in such a method include hydrolyzed heparin, hydrolyzed heparin acylated at free amine groups, sulfated glycosamino glycan and sulfated polysaccharides.
摘要:
Processes are described for the selective extracorporeal precipitation of low density lipoproteins or beta-lipoproteins from whole serum or plasma, wherein a treating agent comprising heparin or a polyanion, such as dextran sulfate or sodium-phosphorus tungstate, in a buffer is added to the whole serum or plasma and the beta-llipoprotein-complex which thereupon forms with the treating agent is precipitated at the isoelectric point at a pH value in the range of from about 5.05 to about 5.25, and is then separated. Optionally, the precipitate or respecively the filtrate is further analyzed for diagnostic purposes. When heparin is employed, the process may be employed therapeutically.Apparatus is described for the continuous therapeutic practice of such a process, employing heparin, including means for flushing to reduce clogging of the filter employed to separate the precipitated lipoprotein-complex.
摘要:
The invention relates to processes and apparatus employing filter candles with an effective filter surface area of 0.2 to 2 square meters and a mean pore diameter of 0.2 to 2 micron in sterilizable cylindrical housings for the selective extracorporeal separation of precipitates of macromolecular pathologic and/or toxic species from blood or blood constituents, such as whole serum or plasma.
摘要:
A process and device for the selective separation of pathological and/or toxic species from blood, plasma or serum wherein a plasma or serum fraction is passed through a container containing one or more filter candles of decreasing means pore diameter and which may contain a sterilizable spacing disc between the filter candles. In accordance with the invention, macromolecular pathological and/or toxic species with molecular weight exclusion limits between about 20,000 and 3,000,000 D may be selectively separated from a fraction of plasma or serum.
摘要:
An infusion syringe pump for forcing an infusion liquid out of the syringe comprises a sensor which is actuated at a certain displacement of a movable piston in the syringe. The residual infusion time before the syringe is completely empty is calculated from the residual volume of liquid left in the infusion syringe upon activation of the sensor, and from the infusion rate. At a given time before expiration of the residual infusion time, an alarm is produced by an alarm device. The alarm is thus always given independently of the particular infusion rate of the syringe and at a predetermined time (e.g. three minutes) before the end of infusion.
