Molecular Adsorbent Recycling System (MARS): Clinical Results of a New Membrane‐Based Blood Purification System for Bioartificial Liver Support
Tập 23 Số 4 - Trang 319-330 - 1999
The 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
proteins but...
The Hepatix Extracorporeal Liver Assist Device: Initial Clinical Experience
Tập 18 Số 5 - Trang 390-396 - 1994
Abstract: 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 (IDE). The goal of the
study wa...
Detergent Decellularization of Heart Valves for Tissue Engineering: Toxicological Effects of Residual Detergents on Human Endothelial Cells
Tập 34 Số 3 - Trang 206-210 - 2010
AbstractDetergents 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 deoxycholate (SDC), group A; 1%
sodium ...
Response of Rotary Blood Pumps to Changes in Preload and Afterload at a Fixed Speed Setting Are Unphysiological When Compared With the Natural Heart
Tập 35 Số 3 - 2011
AbstractResponses 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 by the Frank–Starling curve
adju...
Cardiorespiratory, Metabolic, and Biomechanical Responses During Functional Electrical Stimulation Leg Exercise: Health and Fitness Benefits
Tập 32 Số 8 - Trang 625-629 - 2008
Abstract: 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 metabolism
of individuals with...
Antithrombin Replacement During Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation

Study on Biocompatibility of Complexes of Collagen–Chitosan–Sodium Hyaluronate and Cornea
Tập 29 Số 2 - Trang 104-113 - 2005
Abstract: 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
inserted into rabbit stomal poc...
Development of a Bioartificial Liver Using Isolated Hepatocytes
Tập 18 Số 5 - Trang 371-384 - 1994
Abstract: 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 and metabolic functions,
detoxi...
Effects of a Chitosan Scaffold Containing TGF‐β1 Encapsulated Chitosan Microspheres on In Vitro Chondrocyte Culture
Tập 28 Số 9 - Trang 829-839 - 2004
Abstract: 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 using an
emulsion‐crosslinking met...
New Method to Calculate Creatinine Generation Rate Using Pre‐ and Postdialysis Creatinine Concentra tions
Tập 21 Số 8 - Trang 864-872 - 1997
Abstract: 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 concentrations. We modified
their method to...
