Sepsis and septic shock have been drugs difficult to treat despite many our therapeutic methods. There are many drugs for sepsis, but few can remove or detoxify such sabstances as endotoxin. The polystyrene fiber immobilized polymyxin B (PMX-F) have been invented and it was already confirmed the stability of its bonding. In this paper, mass-productive PMX-F for the clinical application were estimated. METHODS PMX-F adsorbed endotoxin (10ng/ml) from the calf serum, and recombinant tumor necrosis factor (80U/ml) from the serine solution. PMX-F maintained an antimicrobial activities against E.coli sufficiently. Those activities of PMX-F showed significant difference between PMX-F and carrier fiber. But PMX-F could not adsorb histamine and thromboxane B2. In vivo studies: The treatment of endotoxic mongrel dogs showed early recovery in arterial blood pressure, and ameliorated survival rate significantly. In human study, 77-year old male patients who had obstructive jaundice due to recurrent stomach cancer and biliary tract infection by Klebsiella showed sepsis and DIC. During DHP with PMX-F, the change of blood pressure was remarkable better, and platelet counts decreased, but next morning this count recovered completely and he had no hemorrhagic tendency. We believe clinical application of PMX-F is safe and useful.

D011112 Polymyxin B A mixture of polymyxins B1 and B2, obtained from BACILLUS POLYMYXA strains. They are basic polypeptides of about eight amino acids and have cationic detergent action on cell membranes. Polymyxin B is used for treatment of infections with gram-negative bacteria, but may be neurotoxic and nephrotoxic. Aerosporin,Polymyxin B Sulfate
D011113 Polymyxins Basic lipopeptide antibiotic group obtained from Bacillus polymyxa. They affect the cell membrane by detergent action and may cause neuromuscular and kidney damage. At least eleven different members of the polymyxin group have been identified, each designated by a letter. Polymyxin,Polymyxin M
D004285 Dogs The domestic dog, Canis familiaris, comprising about 400 breeds, of the carnivore family CANIDAE. They are worldwide in distribution and live in association with people. (Walker's Mammals of the World, 5th ed, p1065) Canis familiaris,Dog
D004731 Endotoxins Toxins closely associated with the living cytoplasm or cell wall of certain microorganisms, which do not readily diffuse into the culture medium, but are released upon lysis of the cells. Endotoxin
D006464 Hemoperfusion Removal of toxins or metabolites from the circulation by the passing of blood, within a suitable extracorporeal circuit, over semipermeable microcapsules containing adsorbents (e.g., activated charcoal) or enzymes, other enzyme preparations (e.g., gel-entrapped microsomes, membrane-free enzymes bound to artificial carriers), or other adsorbents (e.g., various resins, albumin-conjugated agarose).
