Abstract

PURPOSE:To facilitate a priming operation, to decrease the damages that blood cells receive and to lessen the deterioration in the blood cell sticking behabior of a blood cell sepn. filter with lapse of time by forming the filter material of the filter to a wet state above a satd. moisture content. CONSTITUTION:The blood cell filter is formed by setting a non-woven filter layer 4 made of polyethylene terephthalate into a column body 1 combined with two sheets of square-shaped frame bodies 2, 2' and press-welding the peripheral part thereof. Projections 3, 3' are provided on the inside of a column body 1 to partially support the central part of the filter layer 4. Blood to be treated enters the filter through an inlet 5 and the separated blood emerges from the filter through an outlet 6. The filter layer 4 is maintained in the wet state above the satd. moisture content by water or water soluble materials which are harmless to the living body, for example, aq. solns. of sodium chloride and sodium carbonate. Said layer is sterilized by methods of sterilization such as heating, filtration, irradiation, gas and liquid chemical, more preferably heating by high-pressure vapor or irradiation by radiations.

The "wet state with a saturated water content of J2 or higher" may be a state in which the filter material has not been completely immersed in water or an aqueous solution of a water-soluble substance that is less harmful to living organisms, or a state in which the filter material has been soaked in water in advance. It is sufficient to sufficiently humidify the material so that the moisture content is higher than the saturated moisture content of the material itself. The point is that it is sufficient that the filter material is exposed to at least as much water as the saturated water content of the filter material or more than that, and the degree does not matter.

There are laws etc. (
According to the Japanese Pharmacopoeia, 11th revision, General Test Methods (7) Sterilization and Aseptic Operation Methods, the sterilization method used in the present invention is preferably a sterilization method that allows the filter material to be kept moist at a moisture content higher than its saturated moisture content. It is undesirable to use a sterilization method that loses its sterilization effect when the filter material is moistened beyond its saturated water content. Sterilization methods preferably used in the present invention include high pressure steam method, flow steam method, boiling method, intermittent method, radiation method, high frequency method, chemical liquid method, etc., and high pressure steam method and radiation method are particularly preferably used. .

In the present invention, it is understandable that the briming operation becomes easier when the filter material of the blood cell separation filter maintains a moist state higher than the saturated water content. It is not clear why the change over time decreases. Although it is an Ml-measurement, 1. The damage received by the III ball is reduced because there is less air left during briming, and the ball comes into direct contact with the air, and the blood cells come into direct contact with the dry filter material. I can't imagine that the damage to the blood cells would be reduced when the remaining air bubbles disappear due to physical shock. In addition, regarding the first method in which the blood cell adhesion properties change little over time, the filter material is in a sufficiently moist state with 1) f, so that after contact with saliva, the filter absorbs water in the blood. This is thought to be because there is no change in the surface of the material, and there is no phenomenon such as strong adhesion of blood cells due to water absorption.

Blood transfusions are often used to treat bleeding during surgery, but especially when a large amount of blood is required, not only red blood cells must be replenished, but platelets and blood coagulation factors must also be replenished. The blood used for such purposes is fresh blood that has just been collected, and is so-called fresh blood. However, this raw blood contains a large amount of fresh white blood cells, and these white blood cells may attack the patient's tissues and put the patient in a serious condition. Furthermore, if you transfuse another person's leukocytes, antibodies against the leukocytes will be produced, which may cause side effects such as fever and hives during the blood transfusion. To prevent such side effects, a white blood cell selective removal filter is used, which selectively removes only white blood cells while allowing red blood cells, platelets, and plasma to pass through.

The method of keeping the filter material of the above-mentioned Jll1 bulb separation filter in a moist state with a saturated moisture content or higher and sterilizing it is as follows:
For example, this can be achieved by completely or partially filling the filter with a solution such as water, physiological saline, or glycerin solution, and sterilizing it by high-pressure steam sterilization, gamma ray sterilization, or the like. It is also possible to pass steam through the filter to bring the filter material into a moist state of saturated water content before sterilizing it, or to reach the saturated water content during or after sterilization. In short, just before using the blood cell separation filter, it is sufficient that the filter material is in a saturated hydrated state.

As mentioned above, by using a filter material that is kept moist in advance with a saturated water content or higher, for example, a blood cell separation filter can be completely filled with physiological saline, so that no blinding operation is required. 1-7. Being in a moist state prevents the non-specific adhesion of platelets and red blood cells, suppressing the functional decline of these blood cells, and furthermore, the surface of the filter material absorbs water in the blood and improves the surface condition. By changing this, it is also possible to avoid changing the adhesive behavior of blood cells. Therefore, by using the -1- blood cell separation filter, red blood for transfusion from which white blood cells have been removed,
The function of 1111 cells and platelets is less likely to be impaired, and the removal efficiency of own nn cells is less likely to deteriorate.

As a result, the leukocyte removal rate was 90.2% and the platelet removal rate was 63.2%. In addition, the osmotic vulnerability test results of the collected red blood cells were unchanged from before passing through the filter. Further, when performing the blood cell fractionation operation, a briming operation was not necessary. The leukocyte removal rate and platelet removal rate were calculated as follows.

As a result, the leukocyte removal rate was 81.3% and the platelet removal rate was 42.3%, which were somewhat low. Furthermore, when the briming operation was not performed, air bubbles came out along with the blood from the column outlet when blood was flowing. Such bubbles are known to destroy red blood cells, which is an undesirable result.

2-Hydroxyethyl methacrylate (hereinafter referred to as HEMA)
A copolymer of DEAMA and diethylaminoethyl methacrylate (hereinafter referred to as DEAMA) was synthesized by conventional solution radical polymerization. The polymerization conditions are as follows:
Polymerization reaction was carried out at 60° C. for 8 hours in the presence of 1/200 mol/l of azoisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as an initiator at a monomer concentration of 1 mol/KL in ethanol. A nonwoven fabric made of polyethylene terephthalate fibers with an average diameter of 1.7 μm (60 g/m2) was cut into a circle with a diameter of 25 mm, and after soaking it in a 0.1% ethanol solution of the copolymer described in Remove the absorbed excess polymer solution by squeezing it out and place it in a filter boulder.
I set the sheets and dried them without blowing dry air. (2) The content of DEAMA units in the coded copolymer of IEMA and DEAMA was 5 mol%.
