Granulocyte Elastase Release during Extracorporeal Oxygenation: Effects of Bubble, Membrane, and Hollow Fiber Oxygenators
_____________ _ Activation or lesions of PMN-granulocytes among other effects result in release of proteases i.e., elastase (E). Plasma E is mainly inactivated by alpha !-proteinase inhibitor (alpha 1-PI) by formation of E-alpha 1-PI complexes. However, E may be able to destroy plasma proteins (i.e., clotting factors, immunoglobulins, etc.) before complex formation occurs. The effects of extrac...
متن کاملFabrication of Crosslinkable Hollow Fiber Membranes for Pervaporation Dehydration
Integrally-skinned asymmetric Polyetherimide/Poly (vinyl alcohol) (PEI/PVA) hollow fber membranes for pervaporation dehydration were fabricated by non-solvent induced phase inversion. PVA inside the PEI matrix could be crosslinked to provide membrane performance stability during long term operation. The effects of different PEI/PVA blend ratio, external coagulant type and...
متن کاملHollow-core microstructured polymer optical fiber.
We have fabricated microstructured polymer optical fibers that guide light in a hollow core using the photonic bandgap mechanism. The hollow core allows the use of polymer fibers to be extended to wavelength ranges where material absorption typically prohibits their use, with attenuation lower than the material loss observed in the infrared. The fabrication method is similar to other microstruc...
متن کاملHollow Fiber Membrane Bioreactor for COD Biodegradation of Tapioca Wastewater
The present work studied the application of membrane bioreactor (MBR) for tapioca wastewater processing that contained chemical oxygen demand (COD) ranging from 4000-9000 mg/L. A preliminary study was initially conducted in order to evaluate membrane performance with respect to its flux with MLSS concentration ranging from 4,500 to 10,500 mg/L. It was clear that fouling was observed during the ...
متن کاملRetrospective analysis comparing hollow fiber and silicone membrane oxygenators for neonates on ECMO.
There is little information showing the use of microporous polypropylene hollow fiber oxygenators during extra-corporeal life support (ECLS). Recent surveys have shown increasing use of these hollow fibers amongst ECLS centers in the United States. We performed a retrospective analysis comparing the Terumo BabyRx hollow fiber oxygenator to the Medtronic 800 silicone membrane oxygenator on 14 ne...
