Molecular Adsorbent Recycling System (MARS): Clinical Results of a New Membrane‐Based Blood Purification System for Bioartificial Liver SupportThe use of xenogenic or genetically engineered cell types in bioartificial liver support systems requires separation methods between the patients' blood and the liver support bioreactors that guarantee the sufficient transfer of pathophysiologically relevant substances but prevent complications. The present paper describes a new membrane separation system that is nearly impermeable to prot... ...

The Hepatix Extracorporeal Liver Assist Device: Initial Clinical ExperienceAbstract: Eleven patients were treated with the Hepatix extracorporeal liver assist device (ELAD) between June 1991 and August 1993. The first 2 patients were treated according to Food and Drug Administration guidelines (“Emergency Use of Unapproved Medical Devices,” October 22, 1985), and the remaining 9 were treated according to an Investigational Device Exemption...

Detergent Decellularization of Heart Valves for Tissue Engineering: Toxicological Effects of Residual Detergents on Human Endothelial CellsAbstract Detergents are powerful agents for tissue decellularization. Despite this, the high toxicity of detergent residua can be a major limitation. This study evaluated the efficacy of detergent removal from decellularized pulmonary valves (PVs) and the consequences of repopulation with human endothelial cells (HECs). Porcine PVs were treated with 1% sodium deoxyc... ...

Response of Rotary Blood Pumps to Changes in Preload and Afterload at a Fixed Speed Setting Are Unphysiological When Compared With the Natural HeartAbstract Responses of four rotary blood pumps (Incor, Heartmate II, Heartware, and Duraheart) at a single speed setting to changes in preload and afterload were assessed using the human left ventricle as a benchmark for comparison. Data for the rotary pumps were derived from pressure flow relations reported in the literature while the natural heart was characterized... ...

Cardiorespiratory, Metabolic, and Biomechanical Responses During Functional Electrical Stimulation Leg Exercise: Health and Fitness BenefitsAbstract: Functional electrical stimulation (FES)‐induced leg exercise offers the potential for individuals with lower‐limb paralysis to otherwise gain some benefits conferred by leg exercise. Although its original intent is to reactivate the leg muscles to produce functional upright mobility, as a rehabilitation therapy, FES‐evoked exercise increases the whole‐body...

Study on Biocompatibility of Complexes of Collagen–Chitosan–Sodium Hyaluronate and CorneaAbstract: In this study we investigated the biocompatibility of collagen–chitosan–sodium hyaluronate (Col–Chi–NaHA) complexes and cornea tissue, and the feasibility of Col–Chi–NaHA complexes as substrates for cultivating rabbit corneal cells. Different components of Col–Chi–NaHA complexes were prepared and tested. A circular complex film with a diameter of 6 mm was ...

Development of a Bioartificial Liver Using Isolated HepatocytesAbstract: Severe liver disease is very often life‐threatening and dramatically diminishes quality of life. Liver support systems based on detoxification alone have been proved ineffective because they cannot correct biochemical disorders. An effective artificial liver support system should be capable of carrying out the liver's essential processes, such as synthetic...

Effects of a Chitosan Scaffold Containing TGF‐β1 Encapsulated Chitosan Microspheres on In Vitro Chondrocyte CultureAbstract: The objectives of this study were (1) to develop a three‐dimensional chitosan scaffold in combination with transforming growth factor‐beta1 (TGF‐β1)‐loaded chitosan microspheres and (2) to evaluate the effect of the TGF‐β1 release on the chondrogenic potential of rabbit chondrocytes in the scaffolds. TGF‐β1 was loaded into chitosan microspheres usi...

New Method to Calculate Creatinine Generation Rate Using Pre‐ and Postdialysis Creatinine Concentra tionsAbstract: The creatinine (Cr) generation rate reflects the muscle mass, a possible indicator of protein nutritional status. Thus, in this study, we developed equations for calculating the Cr generation rate. Depner and Daugirdas recently developed a method for determining the protein catabolic rate (PCR) from the pre‐ and postdialysis blood urea nitrogen concentrati...
