Abstract:
The paradox of "small volume" hemocarboperfusion is discussed, it is shown in the model experiments with human serum albumin solution that granular and fibrous activated carbons are the complement of one another with respect to the sorption of substances weakly and strongly bound to protein. Binary adsorbents synthesized extempore and based on carbon matrices and biospecific ligands are described. The concepts of "artificial digestion" and "artificial scab" are introduced.
