Abstract
Polyhydroxyethylmethacrylate (PHEMA) microbeads in a size range of 150-250 μm were prepared by suspension polymerization in an aqueous phase containing magnesium oxide. Hydroxyl groups were oxidized with NaIO4 and cell adhesive proteins, namely collagen and fibronectin, were immobilized using glutaraldehyde. A spacer-arm, hexamethylene diamine, was used in some cases. Higher amounts of collagen were immobilized, than in fibronectin. The attachment of two cell lines (i.e., 3T3 and MDBK cell lines) on these microbeads with a wide variety of surface properties was studied in vitro culture media. The attachments of both cells, even onto plain microbeads, were significant. Introducing both fibronectin and collagen onto the microbeads caused significant increases in the cell attachment. More cells attached to the microbeads carrying fibronectin covalently attached onto the microbeads through the spacer-arm molecules. Fibronectin was better than collagen for high attachment values. The mathematical model proposed successfully simulated attachment kinetics.

Abstract
PHEMA microbeads, produced by suspension polymerization, were modified by the immobilization of a spacer (hexamethylene diamine, HMDA), and two proteins, collagen or fibronectin. Adsorption of collagen and fibronectin onto the plain and periodate oxidized PHEMA microbeads were similar; 0.05-0.1 mg of collagen and 0.04-0.05 mg of fibronectin per g of polymer, respectively. Collagen and fibronectin immobilization on PHEMA microbeads were studied at different temperatures, time and pH. The optimal values for immobilization were 0.1 mg/mL for fibronectin; and 0.25 mg/mL for collagen at 25°C for fibronectin and 4°C for collagen; pH 7 in 120 min. Both fibroblastic 3T3 and epithelial MDBK cells were attached to unmodified and modified microbeads. The attachments of both 3T3 and MDBK cells, to the fibronectin and collagen immobilized microbeads were more than 2000 cells per mg of polymer.

Abstract
Both nonswellable and swellable poly(EGDMA/HEMA) microbeads were produced by suspension copolymerization. These microbeads were modified by immobilization of a spacer-arm (hexamethylene diamine, HMDA) and collagen. The optimal values for modifications were as follows: sodium periodate concentration: 0.467 × 10-2 mmol/mL; HMDA concentration: 3.5 × 10-2 mmol/mL; and glutaraldehyde concentration: 0.70 × 106 mmol/mL. Adsorption of collagen onto plain and periodate oxidized poly(EGDMA/HEMA) microbeads were similar, 0.25 and 0.50 mg collagen/g polymer, respectively. Collagen immobilization on poly(EGDMA/HEMA) microbeads was studied at various temperatures, times, and pH by using protein solution containing various amounts of proteins. The optimal values for immobilizations were as follows: the initial collagen concentration: 0.25 mg/mL; temperature: 4°C; pH 7; and the immobilization time; 120 min. Both fibroblastic 3T3 and epithelial MDBK cells were attached to these unmodified and modified microbeads. The attachments of 3T3 and MDBK cells, especially to the collagen immobilized swellable microbeads were very high. Almost 96% of the 3T3 cells available in the cell culture medium became attached to these microbeads (2297 ± 122 cells per mg of polymer). There was no significant effect by swelling on cell attachment.

Abstract
Dieter Falkenhagen was born in 1942 in Dresden, Germany and died in 2015. He specialized in internal medicine and nephrology. Focusing on artificial organ research, he investigated various aspects of the efficacy and safety of hemodialysis and adsorption technologies, including biocompatibility issues related to blood versus surface interactions and the adverse effects of endotoxin contamination. He studied various mathematical models to analyze efficacy and safety, and animal models to help clarify uncertainty issues. Through his studies, adsorbents were developed, resulting in Prometheus, an artificial liver support device. Anticoagulation models, including citrate perfusion, were improved and made safer by his work. He also stepped into bioreactor research to increase efficacy of liver support devices.

Abstract
The effect of various polymeric materials on blood components and their in vitro phagocytosis was the object of the present research. Polystyrene- (PS) and polymethylmetacrylate- (PMMA) based microspheres were produced by phase-inversion polymerization and chemically modified to obtain different surface hydrophilicities. The interactions between blood proteins and chemically- and biologically-modified surfaces were investigated and compared to plain microspheres. Adsorption properties of albumin, fibrinogen and total immunoglobulines on microspheres were tested. Hydrophilic surfaces have high ability for human serum albumin (HSA) adsorption, which also leads to less phagocytosis of microspheres in vitro. In the case of activated PMMA(PVA) microspheres, both protein adsorption and phagocytosis were significant. Interaction of blood proteins with microspheres did not cause any change in phagocytosis by leukocytes and monocytes. BSA adsorption on microspheres with different hydrophilicities showed the same blood protein adsorption results and phagocytosis was not detected. On the other hand, the highest level of phagocytosis was found with fibronectin-modified microspheres. The changes occurring in intrinsic and extrinsic coagulation mechanisms were determined by measuring the activated partial tromboplastin time (APTT) and the prothrombin time (PT). PT values of blood samples did not increase by treatment with microspheres, except for PS/HEMA, while chemical modification caused important prolongation in APTT.

Abstract
Jack bean urease (urea aminohydrolase, EC 3.5.1.5) was immobilized onto modified non-porous poly(ethylene glycol dimethacrylate/2-hydroxy ethylene methacrylate), (poly(EGDMA/HEMA)), microbeads prepared by suspension copolymerization for the potential use in hemoperfusion columns, not previously reported. The conditions of immobilization; enzyme concentration, medium pH, substrate and ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid (EDTA) presence in the immobilization medium in different concentrations, enzyme loading ratio, processing time and immobilization temperature were investigated for highest apparent activity. Immobilized enzyme retained 73% of its original activity for 75 days of repeated use with a deactivation constant kd = 3.72 x 10(-3) day(-1). A canned non-linear regression program was used to estimate the intrinsic kinetic parameters of immobilized enzyme with a low value of observable Thiele modulus (phi < 0.3) and these parameters were compared with those of free urease. The best-fit kinetic parameters of a Michaelis-Menten model were estimated as Vm = 3.318 x 10(-4) micromol/s mg bound enzyme protein, Km = 15.94 mM for immobilized, and Vm = 1.074 micromol NH3/s mg enzyme protein, Km = 14.49 mM for free urease. The drastic decrease in Vm value was attributed to steric effects, conformational changes in enzyme structure or denaturation of the enzyme during immobilization. Nevertheless, the change in Km value was insignificant for the unchanged affinity of the substrate with immobilization. For higher immobilized urease activity, smaller particle size and concentrated urease with higher specific activity could be used in the immobilization process.

Abstract
A unique antibody-binding protein, (E12B2)n, was genetically synthesized, which was characterized by a hydrophobic peptide, E12, at one terminus and an antibody-binding peptide, B2, at the other. It was clarified by atomic force microscopy (AFM) imaging that this protein was efficiently self-assembled on a hydrophobic solid surface. (E12B2)n self-assembled on a microplate exhibited an excellent performance of antibody-binding affinity. The proposed design of antibody-binding protein seems promising in immobilizing antibody molecules on hydrophobic solid surfaces.

Abstract
Both non swellable and swellable poly(EGDMA/HEMA) microbeads were produced by suspension copolymerization. These microbeads were modified by immobilization of a spacer-arm (hexamethylene diamine (HMDA)) and protein A. The optimal values for modifications were as follows: sodium periodate concentration, 1.0 mgml(-1); HMDA concentration, 4 mgml(-1); and glutaraldehyde concentration, 0.070 microgml(-1). Adsorption of protein A onto the plain and periodate oxidized poly(EGDMA/HEMA) microbeads were very close to each other, and were 0.01-0.02 mg protein A on the 1-g Microbeads I and II, respectively. Protein A immobilization on poly(EGDMA/HEMA) microbeads were studied at different temperatures, times, and pHs using single protein solution containing different amounts of proteins. The optimal values for immobilization were as follows: the initial protein A concentration, 0.1 mgml(-1); temperature, 25 degrees C; pH, 9.5; and immobilization time, 120 min. Incorporation of protein A resulted in 1.420 and 1.825 mg protein A on the 1-g Microbeads I and II, respectively. HIgG adsorption capacity on the protein A-incorporated poly(EGDMA/HEMA) microbeads is 27 and 35 mg HIgGg(-1) polymer for Microbeads I and II, respectively.

Abstract
Poly(EGDMA/HEMA) based microbeads were prepared by suspension polymerization. A comonomer, i.e., 2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate (HEMA) was included in the recipe in order to have functional hydroxyl groups on the microbead surfaces. Toluene was used in the polymerization formulations to introduce porosity into the matrix. Hydroxyl groups were first oxidized with NaIO4, and then two biological molecules, namely collagen and fibronectin were immobilized by using glutaraldehyde. A spacer-arm, i.e., hexamethylene diamine, was also used in some cases. More protein molecules were immobilized onto more swellable microbeads using spacer-arm. Higher amounts of collagen were immobilized, more than fibronectin immobilization. Attachment of two cell lines (i.e., 3T3 and MDBK cell lines) on these microbeads with a wide variety of surface properties was studied in vitro culture media. Attachments of both cells even onto the plain microbeads were significant. More cells did attach to more swellable microbeads. Introducing both fibronectin and collagen onto the microbeads caused significant increase in the cell attachment. More cells attached to the microbeads carrying fibronectin covalently attached onto the microbeads through the spacer-arm molecules. Fibronectine was better than collagen for high attachment values. The mathematical model proposed successfully simulated attachment kinetics.

Abstract
Cholesterol and HlgG adsorbed from human plasma obtained from a hypercholesterolemia patient, onto protein A-immobilized polymethyl-methacrylate uniform microbeads carrying different amounts of protein A (0.264-1.682 mg protein A/g PMMA, or 0.66-4.2 mg protein A/m2PMMA) were investigated in batchwise experiments. There was no interaction between protein A molecules and cholesterol when cholesterol aqueous solutions were used. However, there was significant cholesterol and HlgG adsorption from the plasma obtained from a patient with hypercholesterolemia. The maximum amounts of cholesterol and HlgG adsorbed were 3.96 μmol cholesterol/g PMMA (5.4 mg cholesterol/g PMMA) and 0.242 μmol IgG/g PMMA (35.4 mg IgG/g PMMA).
