Release date: 2007-03-01 Scientists are working on developing new nano-materials that could revolutionize the process of blood purification. These materials, which may be used in laboratory settings, have the potential to significantly improve the way we remove harmful substances from the blood. A simple-looking non-woven fabric could serve as an effective tool for filtering out waste products from the bloodstream. The nano-functional adsorption material created by Cao Amin’s research team at the Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry offers a promising solution for in vitro blood purification. If successfully designed into a medical device, it could provide patients with hyperlipidemia a less painful and more efficient way to cleanse their blood. For individuals with high cholesterol levels, traditional treatments often involve medication, but scientists have also explored physical methods, such as using silica or polymer gel column powders to filter plasma. However, these approaches can be costly and difficult to implement widely. The newly developed nano-functional adsorption materials not only offer a highly effective filtration system but also come at a lower cost, making them more viable for widespread clinical use. "Imagine it like grinding soy milk," experts explained. "As the blood passes through this material, harmful substances are left behind on the non-woven fabric, similar to the residue in soy milk. The resulting filtered blood is just as clean and healthy as fresh soy milk." The non-woven fabric used has a pore size ranging from 100 nanometers to 5 microns, allowing it to effectively target and remove low-density lipoprotein (LDL), often referred to as the 'bad' cholesterol. Although this method involves a more complex procedure compared to traditional drug therapy, researchers remain optimistic about its future. They believe the project will continue to address key challenges and provide innovative medical solutions while aiming to reduce treatment costs. This breakthrough could mark a significant step forward in the field of blood purification and patient care. —— Information from: Shanghai Medical Device Industry Association Monobenzone Powder,Monobenzone for Skin Whitening,Monobenzone Before and After Xi'an Sentian Biotechnology Co., Ltd. , https://www.sentianbio.com
