Inflammation is common and associated with morbidity and mortality in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Exposure to endotoxin contained in the dialysate may trigger inflammation. Dialysate volume is substantially reduced in sorbent HD compared with standard single-pass dialysis. In this prospective study (Clinicaltrials.gov, number: NCT00788905), we compared the inflammatory response to single-pass and sorbent HD. Patients receiving single-pass HD were studied during 1 week of sorbent HD (Allient system; Renal Solutions, Warrendale, PA) and 1 week of single-pass HD. Patients were dialyzed using high-flux polysulfone dialyzers. Midweek pre- and post-HD serum levels of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, IL-10, interferon gamma, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), and eotaxin were determined and their intradialytic change corrected for hemoconcentration during single-pass HD and sorbent HD compared by paired t-test. We enrolled 18 patients, nine completed the study. Although TNF-α decreased during both single-pass and sorbent HD (p < 0.001), none of the other biomarkers changed significantly during HD. We observed no difference between single-pass and sorbent HD. For the markers investigated in this study, there was no difference in the acute intradialytic inflammatory response to single-pass or sorbent HD.

Cartridges for hemoadsorption containing styrene-divinylbenzene sorbent are used for multiple conditions, such as intoxication. The mass transfer zone comprises the extension along the longitudinal span of the cartridge where adsorption occurs. The aim of this experiment is to evaluate the mass transfer zone for vancomycin in the HA380 cartridge.

Removal of pesticides from agricultural run-off close to the point of application has the potential to prevent or reduce the pollution of water sources used for drinking. This research considered the novel application of activated carbon (AC) fabric as a sorbent material for removal of pesticides from field run-off. AC fabric was tested for the removal of the molluscicide pesticide metaldehyde under a range of flow rates at both laboratory and pilot scale.

Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) in sepsis does have a role in removing excessive fluid, and also role in removal of mediators although not proven today, and to allow fluid space in order to feed. In these conditions, continuous renal replacement therapy can improve morbidity but never mortality so far. Regarding sepsis, timing has become a more important issue after decades and is currently more discussed than dosing.

An analytical method for solvent-free determination of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes (BTEX) in water using flat-sheet membrane extraction with a sorbent interface (MESI) coupled to GC-MS was established by optimizing the flow rates of the donor (20 ml water) and acceptor (helium) phases and extraction temperature. BTEX compounds permeated through a nonporous silicone membrane and evaporated into the acceptor phase were purged into a cryofocusing trap (-30 °C) with helium gas. Enriched compounds were thermally desorbed into a capillary gas chromatograph and detected with a mass spectrometer.
