Polymyxin B engineered polystyrene-divinylbenzene microspheres for the adsorption of bilirubin and endotoxin
Hemoperfusion is an important strategy for liver disease treatment. Polystyrene-divinylbenzene (PS-DVB) microspheres are widely applied as absorbents in hemoperfusion to efficiently remove the important toxin bilirubin. However, as another common toxin, endotoxin will remain during this process and cause endotoxemia. Therefore, simultaneous removal of both bilirubin and endotoxin is highly desirable. ...
