Abstract

To study the kinetics of beta 2-microglobulin during haemofiltration, seven patients with end-stage renal failure were treated with the AN 69 (acrylonitrile), Duo-Flux (cellulose acetate) and F 60 (polysulphone) haemofilter. Low beta 2-microglobulin sieving coefficients and a highly negative filter mass balance error were observed during the initial phase of treatment with AN 69 but not with Duo-Flux or F 60, indicating a high degree of beta 2-microglobulin adsorption by AN 69. Total removal of beta 2-microglobulin was calculated by addition of the total amount adsorbed by the membrane and the total amount recovered in the collected ultrafiltrate. With AN 69 and F 60, total removal of beta 2-microglobulin amounted to 393 +/- 135 (SD) and 316 +/- 35 mg per treatment, while total removal with Duo-Flux was 242 +/- 79 mg per treatment. Thus, highly permeable membranes such as AN 69 or F 60 used in a haemofiltration mode may nearly balance the presumed generation of beta 2-microglobulin in uraemic patients. During treatment, an increase of the calculated beta 2-microglobulin distribution volume occurred with all three membranes, probably representing extra-to-intracellular water shifts. The water shifts occurring during haemofiltration reduce the value of precision of beta 2-microglobulin kinetics and limit the value of the plasma level decrease as an index of beta 2-microglobulin removal.

Chromosomal aberration frequencies determined by conventional methods: Parallel increases over time in the region of a petrochemical industry and throughout the Czech Republic.

The rationale for cytogenetic monitoring to determine if safe maximum allowable concentrations (MAC) of genotoxic chemicals are being maintained in a workplace is that exposure levels that do not increase chromosomal aberration frequencies are without harmful effects. Such monitoring, widely used in occupational health programs in the Czech Republic (CR), includes workers exposed to 1,3-butadiene (BD) or other chemicals. Studies of BD exposed workers in the years 1992, 1993, 1994, 1998, and 2004 compared mean frequencies of cells carrying chromosomal aberrations (frequency of aberrant cells=%AB.C.) in exposed workers with those in non-exposed matched controls in the same plant or in other individuals living in the region of the same petrochemical industry. Workers potentially exposed to acrylonitrile at this site were also evaluated in 2000, along with another unexposed matched control group. The %AB.C. values of exposed workers and their controls were also compared with reference values determined for normal individuals (ages 20-59 years) throughout the CR. Substantial discrepancies were noted between subjects in the region of the petrochemical industry (exposed workers and controls) for the years 2000 and 2004 and the reference CR-wide normal values that had been determined during an earlier time period. The matched non-exposed controls at the petrochemical industry site showed a mean %AB.C. value of 1.56+/-1.23% (N=25) in 1998; this rose to a mean of 2.65+/-2.29% (N=33) in 2000. In 2004, values for non-exposed matched controls at the industry site were 2.64+/-1.75% for males (N=25) and 2.38+/-1.74% (N=26) for females. However, the earlier determined CR-wide %AB.C. mean reference values for normal individuals were 1.77+/-1.16% (N=1305) for the interval 1977-1988 and 1.45+/-1.17% (N=2140) for the interval 1991-1999. As both reference values are substantially lower than those determined in 2000 and 2004 for the non-exposed matched controls at the petrochemical industry site, an analysis of the CR-wide mean normal individual reference values for this same 2000-2004 period was conducted. Unexpectedly, it was found that this reference value too had risen to 1.95+/-1.36% (N=1045) and was comparable to the concurrent matched control values at the petrochemical industry site where the monitoring studies were conducted. This substantial increase in %AB.C. values in 2000 and 2004, therefore, has occurred throughout the CR and is probably unrelated to chemicals uniquely present at the petrochemical industry site.

A novel composite nanofiltration (NF) membrane prepared from graft copolymer of trimethylallyl ammonium chloride onto chitosan (GCTACC)/poly(acrylonitrile) (PAN) by epichlorohydrin cross-linking.

A novel composite nanofiltration (NF) membrane was prepared by over-coating the PAN ultrafiltration (UF) membrane with a GCTACC thin layer. The effects of membrane preparation techniques and operating conditions on the performance of the composite membrane were studied. The results indicate that a composite NF membrane from 1.0wt% GCTACC casting solution, vaporized for 2h at 50 degrees C, cross-linked for 20h at 50 degrees C and pH approximately 12 with ethanol/epichlorohydrin (50/0.45 wt/wt) had optimum performance. The resultant GCTACC/PAN composite membrane was positively charged. Scanning electron microscopy showed its asymmetric and composite features. At 25 degrees C and 30L/h of cycling flow, the permeability of pure water through this membrane is 6.3L/hm(2)MPa. At 25 degrees C, 1.2MPa and 30L/h of cycling flow, the rejection of 1000mg/L MgCl(2), CaCl(2), MgSO(4), Na(2)SO(4), and NaCl solutions is 0.976, 0.972, 0.897, 0.65, and 0.407, respectively, with fluxes of 6.8, 6.12, 6.12, 5.57, and 5.51L/hm(2), respectively. The order of rejection of different salts follows the decreasing order of MgCl(2), CaCl(2), MgSO(4), NaCl, KCl, Na(2)SO(4), and K(2)SO(4), which reveals the characteristics of the positively charged NF membrane. In addition, the curve for the streaming potential also illustrates the positively charged characteristics of this membrane, with a pressure osmotic coefficient of 11.7mVMPa(-1).
