Abstract:
An object of this invention is to provide an adsorbent for immunosuppressive substance, which adsorbent can highly efficiently and selectively adsorb an excessive immunosuppressive substance directly from the body fluid, can carry out extracorporeal perfusion safely and can be utilized in treatment of cancer. Such an excessive immunosuppressive substance may be involved in growth of cancer cells. An adsorbent for immunosuppressive substance of the invention includes a water-insoluble carrier and a hydrophilic amino group immobilized to the water-insoluble carrier. An extracorporeal perfusion column of the invention contains the adsorbent of the invention. A method for treating cancer of the invention carries out extracorporeal perfusion using the extracorporeal perfusion column of the invention.
Abstract:
An immunosuppressive substance adsorbent capable of selectively adsorbing excess immunosuppressive substances considered to be associated with the multiplication of carcinoma cells directly from humor at high efficiency and capable of safe extracorporeal circulation, which immunosuppressive substanc e adsorbent is useful for the treatment of cancer. In particular, an immunosuppressive substance adsorbent characterized by comprising a water insoluble carrier and, fixed thereto, hydrophilic amino groups. Further, the re is provided an extracorporeal circulation column characterized by being pack ed with the above adsorbent. Still further, there is provided a method of treating cancer characterized in that extracorporeal circulation is performe d by the use of the above extracorporeal circulation column.
Abstract:

The present disclosure provides an immunosuppressive-protein-adsorbing material that includes a water-insoluble carrier to which is bonded one or more nitrogen-containing compounds selected from polyamines represented by a prescribed formula and aliphatic amines represented by a prescribed formula, the total amount of amino groups on the water-insoluble carrier being greater than 0 µmol and no greater than 2500 µmol per gram, and the amount of primary amino groups on the water-insoluble carrier being no greater than 450 µmol per gram.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To easily measure the viscosity of fluid even when a high vacuum is produced in a fluid passage by opening a fluid intake passage in a trumpet shape in a projection surface in level with the internal wall surface of the fluid passage. CONSTITUTION:The projection surface 5 of a viscosity measuring instrument 1 is in level with the internal wall surface 3a of the fluid passage 3 and the fluid intake passage 16 which is open in the projection surface 5 is open in the trumpet shape, so even if a high vacuum is produced in the fluid passage 3, for example, the high-viscosity fluid flowing along the internal wall surface 3a enters the fluid intake passage 16 naturally and smoothly and is guided inward along the trumpet-shaped wall surface. The fluid is sucked forcibly by a gear pump 6 through communicating passage parts 21a and 21b to form a continuous flow. Thus, the fluid is sent to a viscometer 7 continuously and then the viscosity is measured continuously.
