Methods:A total of 80 patients with sepsis were randomly divided into study group and control group, 40 patients in each group. All the patients were treated by routine treatment. Patients in study group were treated by continuous plasma filtration with adsorption and patients in control group were treated by continuous hematodialysis. The blood samples were collected before and after treatment. The immune cell level, inflammatory factors level, APACHEⅡ score and death rate were compared between two groups.Results:All immune cell indexes were significantly improved in both groups. All immune cell indexes in study group were significantly better than those in control group, after treatment. All inflammatory factors were significantly decreased in both groups. All inflammatory factors in study group were significantly better than those in control group, after treatment. The APACHEⅡ in study group was significantly better than that in control group, after treatment. The death rate in study group was significantly less than that in control group.Conclusion:Continuous plasma filtration with adsorption has a great clinical efficacy on patients with sepsis in ICU, which can improve the immune level and prognosis, makes it worth for clinical application.展开更多

In this study, a dielectric barrier discharge plasma water bed system was designed and then coupled with granular activated carbon (GAC) adsorption to rapidly remove acid fuchsine (AF) with high efficiency. Effects of feeding gases, treatment time and initial concentration of AF on removal efficiency were investigated. Results showed that compared to the N2 and air plasmas treatments, O2 plasma processing was most effective for AF degradation due to the strong oxidation ability of generated activated species, especially the OH radicals. The addition of GAC significantly enhanced the removal efficiency of AF in aqueous solution and shorten the required time by 50%. The effect was attributed to the ability of porous carbon to trap and concentrate the dye, increasing the time dye molecules were exposed to the plasma discharge zone, and to enhance the production of OH radicals on/in GAC to boost the degradation of dyes by plasma as well as in situ regenerate the exhausted GAC. The study offers a new opportunity for continuous effective remediation of wastewater contaminated with organic dyes using plasma technologies.展开更多
