Detergent Purification of Membrane Proteins01:18

Detergent Purification of Membrane Proteins

6.4K
Detergents are used to purify the integral proteins of the membrane. The hydrophobic portion of the detergent can replace membrane phospholipids while solubilizing the membrane proteins. When detergent monomers reach a specific concentration in a solution called critical micelle concentration (CMC), they form micelles. Above CMC, the concentration of the detergent monomers remains in equilibrium with the micelle. The number of detergent monomers present in the CMC varies for each detergent, and...

Blood Flow01:29

Blood Flow

75.7K
Blood is pumped by the heart into the aorta, the largest artery in the body, and then into increasingly smaller arteries, arterioles, and capillaries. The velocity of blood flow decreases with increased cross-sectional blood vessel area. As blood returns to the heart through venules and veins, its velocity increases. The movement of blood is encouraged by smooth muscle in the vessel walls, the movement of skeletal muscle surrounding the vessels, and one-way valves that prevent backflow.

Composition of Blood01:22

Composition of Blood

11.7K
The blood in our bodies comprises three major components: blood plasma, formed elements, and the extracellular matrix. Blood plasma is a yellowish fluid that constitutes 55% of the total blood volume. It is primarily made up of water and essential substances such as electrolytes and proteins. Blood plasma serves as a medium for transporting blood cells and also contains nutrients, enzymes, hormones, antibodies, and gases.
Formed elements constitute the remaining 45% of the blood volume. These...

Blood Types02:20

Blood Types

22.5K
Human blood is classified into different types based on the presence of antigens on the red blood cell's surface and antibodies in the plasma. Proper identification of blood type is essential for successful blood transfusion. The International Society of Blood Transfusion has identified 38 human blood types based on the surface antigens on the red blood cells. The most common types are ABO, Rh, and MNS blood types.

Patient-centered Care01:13

Patient-centered Care

2.9K
Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...

The ABO Blood Group01:12

The ABO Blood Group

4.8K
The ABO blood group system is a critical element of transfusion medicine, essential for determining blood compatibility in transfusions and organ transplants. It is based on specific antigens, or agglutinogens, present on the surface of red blood cells (RBCs) and corresponding antibodies, or agglutinins, in the blood plasma.
Antigens in the ABO Blood Group System
Antigens are substances that can trigger an immune response, leading to the production of antibodies. In the ABO blood group system,...

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Nephrology
  • Critical Care Medicine
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Extracorporeal blood purification therapy (eBPT) advances are applicable to pediatric patients, including neonates.
  • Specific challenges exist in pediatric eBPT concerning treatment safety and effectiveness.
  • This review focuses on technical aspects of acute pediatric eBPT, particularly renal replacement therapy, and the current landscape in Japan.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the technical aspects of acute pediatric extracorporeal blood purification therapy (eBPT).
  • To review the current situation of pediatric eBPT, with a focus on renal replacement therapy in Japan.

Main Methods:

  • Review of recent technical and experimental advances in eBPT.
  • Analysis of challenges in achieving adequate blood flow in small children and neonates.
  • Discussion of optimal modality, anticoagulant, and flow rate selection for pediatric eBPT.

Main Results:

  • Securing sufficient blood flow for optimal treatment is difficult in small pediatric patients.
  • Frequent complications necessitate tailored eBPT approaches based on pediatric pathophysiology.
  • Development of specialized eBPT systems for children in Japan is needed to enhance safety and efficacy.
