Experts to develop new nano-materials for healthy blood-washing are expected to be implemented in vitro. A seemingly uninspired medical non-woven fabric can be used as a tool to effectively filter the "waste" in the blood. The nano-functional adsorption material developed by the research group of Cao Amin of Shanghai Organic Institute has provided an effective method for purifying blood in vitro. If it can be designed into a clinical device for clinical use, it may allow patients with hyperlipidemia to enjoy less painful and effective health. Wash the blood."
For high blood lipids, in addition to medical treatment, scientists have tried some physical methods, such as the use of silica or polymer gel column powder materials to filter plasma, but the latter treatment is expensive, not conducive to promotion. The newly developed nano-functional adsorption materials not only can play an obvious filtering role, but also have relatively low cost, and the hope of popularization in clinical application is also great.
"For example, like grinding soy milk, after the blood flows through this material, the harmful substances that were originally active are left on the non-woven fabric like slag, and the filtered blood is as healthy as fresh soy milk." Experts said The inner diameter of the non-woven fabric used for filtration is between 100 nm and 5.0 microns, and it can just screen out the high-lipid murderer, low-density lipoprotein.
Although this method is used for blood washing in vitro, compared with the traditional medication therapy, the operation procedure is more complicated, but the experts are still very optimistic about its prospects, indicating that the project plan will further tackle the problem, while providing more medical ideas, Strive to reduce the cost of treatment. —— Information from: Shanghai Medical Device Industry Association
