04/01/2003 - "In this acute endotoxic shock model, CVVH with the polyacrylonitrile membrane improved cardiac performance when compared with the polysulphone membrane. "
04/01/2003 - "Comparison of polyacrylonitrile (AN69) and polysulphone membrane during hemofiltration in canine endotoxic shock."
04/01/2003 - "This study was designed to compare the effects of continuous venovenous hemofiltration (CVVH) with two different membranes, polysulphone and polyacrylonitrile (AN69), on global and regional hemodynamics, plasma lactate, tumor necrosis factor-alpha levels, and plasma nitrite/nitrate during endotoxic shock in dogs. "

01/01/1996 - "Polyacrylonitrile (PAN, AN69) dialysis membranes have been shown to improve the outcome of critically ill patients. "
01/01/1997 - "The contact system was not activated further by continuous venovenous haemofiltration using polyacrylonitrile filters in critically ill patients. "
12/01/2011 - "For this goal, in vitro CHDF experiments with a polyacrylonitrile (PAN) membrane were first performed using these antibiotics, and then the clearances were compared with in vivo CHDF situations determined in 16 critically ill patients. "
06/01/1993 - "Thus, in this group of critically ill patients, the use of two different membranes was associated with greater cardiovascular stability with polyacrylonitrile treatment compared to polyamide, with respect to maintenance of tissue perfusion and perfusion pressure. "
03/01/2000 - "Ten critically ill adult patients being treated with meropenem and receiving continuous veno-venous hemofiltration (hemofiltration rates, 1-2 L/hr) (n = 5) or continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration (hemofiltration rates, 1-1.5 L/hr; dialysis rates, 1-1.5 L/hr) (n = 5) via a polyacrylonitrile hollow fiber 0.9-m2 filter. "

05/01/1981 - "A patient with fulminant hepatic encephalopathy and acute renal failure progressively deteriorated following daily hemodialysis with a hollow fiber artificial kidney improved dramatically after an initial dialysis with a polyacrylonitrile membrane system. "
08/27/1994 - "The cuprophane group had a lower survival rate (38 vs 65%), a higher proportion of patients dying from sepsis (71 vs 40%), required more haemodialysis sessions (12 vs 9), and demonstrated delayed resolution and recovery from acute renal failure than the polyacrylonitrile group. "
12/01/1991 - "On subsequent days, groups of rats with acute renal failure were exposed to daily zymosan infusion (an activator of the complement system), or to blood incubated with cuprophane (CUP) or polyacrylonitrile (PAN) dialysis membranes. "
03/01/2000 - "In 10 critically ill patients with acute renal failure, the efficiency of four hollow-fiber hemofilters, polyamide 0.6 m(2), polyacrylonitrile (PAN) 0.3 and 0.6 m(2), acrylonitrile sodium methallylsulfonate (AN69HF) 0.6 m(2), has been evaluated. "
01/01/1986 - "The effect of different dialyzer membrane materials (cuprophan, cellulose hydrate, polyacrylonitrile, polymethylmethacrylate, ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer) on the ultrafiltrate proteinase activity was investigated in 26 patients with acute renal failure (ARF) and 40 patients undergoing regular hemodialysis treatment (RDT). "

11/01/2000 - "Use of polyacrylonitrile probes to draw samples from sites at which these formulations have been injected may be compromised by inflammation or direct interaction between formulation excipients and the dialysis membrane. "
01/01/2010 - "The polymethyl-methacrylate (PMMA)-BK-F membrane ameliorates OS and inflammation markers compared to polyacrylonitrile (PAN/AN69) and cellulose membranes. "

05/01/1981 - "A patient with fulminant hepatic encephalopathy and acute renal failure progressively deteriorated following daily hemodialysis with a hollow fiber artificial kidney improved dramatically after an initial dialysis with a polyacrylonitrile membrane system. "
