We carried out an in-vivo and in-vitro evaluation of a new polyamide hollow fiber hemofilter especially designed to operate under conditions of low pressure and low blood flow, such as in continuous arteriovenous hemofiltration (CAVH). The results obtained suggest that this filter is a prototype of a new generation of hemofilters especially designed for CAVH. Its low resistance permits its use even in patients with severe hypotension. The high blood flows achieved at a given pressure reduce the risk of clotting and increase the ultrafiltration rate. When an average ultrafiltration of 20-25 ml/min is achieved in 24 hours CAVH becomes very efficient, and alternative techniques to increase its efficiency are no longer required.

The Automated Hollow Fiber Ultrafiltration (AHFU) method is proposed here as a simple, efficient and rapid virus concentration technique from tap and drinking water sources. The results reported here extend the testing of the AHFU method to include two Picornaviruses [Poliovirus 2 (vaccine) and Echovirus 1] and Reovirus 3. Their respective mean virus recoveries from between 3 and 100 l of tap water is 88 ± 26, 79 ± 60, and 104 ± 48%. Various approaches including membrane surface modification, changes in backwash hydrodynamics, modification of the feed and backwash composition, and the use of S35-methionine labelled Poliovirus 2, are used to study the recovery of sorbed Poliovirus 2 from the hollow fiber/solution interface. An increase in the backwash pH to between 9.5 and 10.5 significantly improved Poliovirus 2 recovery. This, together with the labelled experiments, indicates that the virus-membrane interactions are probably electrostatic in nature. Convective polarization during filtration probably brings the virus close enough to the surface for these interactions to occur since virus losses were not detected for a non-permeation recycle experiment. Because very low Reynold's numbers are used, the flow is in the creeping-flow-regime for both filtration and backwashing (axial and radial). Unless significantly higher Reynolds could be used, enhanced recovery due to purely hydrodynamic forces is unlikely. High Reynold's numbers, of course, are limited by the pressure constraints of the hollow fibers.

Background: The efficient analytical method for the analysis of nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in a biological fluid is important for determining the toxicological aspects of such long-term used therapies. Methods: In the present work, multi-walled carbon nanotubes reinforced into a hollow fiber by chitosan sol-gel assisted-solid/ liquid phase microextraction (MWCNTs-HF-CA-SPME) method followed by the high-performance liquid chromatography-diode array detection (HPLC–DAD) was developed for the determination of three NSAIDs, ketoprofen, diclofenac, and ibuprofen in human urine samples. MWCNTs with various dimensions were characterized by various analytical techniques. The extraction device was prepared by immobilizing the MWCNTs in the pores of 2.5 cm microtube via chitosan sol-gel assisted technology while the lumen of the microtube was filled with few microliters of 1-octanol with two ends sealed. The extraction device was operated by direct immersion in the sample solution. Results: The main factors influencing the extraction efficiency of the selected NSAIDs have been examined. The method showed good linearity R2 ≥ 0.997 with RSDs from 1.1 to 12.3%. The limits of detection (LODs) were 2.633, 2.035 and 2.386 µg L-1, for ketoprofen, diclofenac, and ibuprofen, respectively. The developed method demonstrated a satisfactory result for the determination of selected drugs in patient urine samples and comparable results against reference methods. Conclusion: The method is simple, sensitive and can be considered as an alternative for clinical laboratory analysis of selected drugs.
