Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for radiation treatment of a selectively permeable membrane comprising polysulfone and polyvinylpyrrolidone, and more particularly to a hemodialysis method in which the selectively permeable membrane is modularized. The present invention relates to a method for suppressing acidification of a filling liquid when performing γ-ray sterilization in a state in which the filling liquid is filled in a vessel. 2. Description of the Related Art JP-A-63-97205 and JP-A-4-300636 disclose that a selectively permeable membrane composed of polysulfone and polyvinylpyrrolidone is subjected to radiation treatment, and that a selectively permeable membrane of polyvinylpyrrolidone is used. There is disclosed a technique for reducing the elution of phenol. [0003] However, when the selectively permeable membrane is subjected to radiation treatment in water or wet, the pH of the water greatly changes to the acidic side due to the influence of radiation. For this reason, when used as a dialysis membrane for blood, there is a problem due to a change in pH, and the components of the membrane are decomposed to increase the amount of elution. Further, when stored for a long period of time, it is conceivable that deterioration of the membrane due to changes in the membrane components and the dissolved components in the filling liquid progresses, and the membrane changes in terms of performance. Such a change in the membrane greatly affects the patient, which is not preferable. Further, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 4-338223 discloses a method of performing gamma ray treatment in an aqueous solution of an antioxidant such as sodium pyrosulfite, acetone sodium bisulfite, or the like. However, in these methods, when used as medical devices such as artificial kidneys and plasma separators with modular permselective membranes, it is necessary to ensure the safety by solving the residual antioxidants and their effects on the human body. There is. Thus, the present invention has conducted intensive studies in order to solve the above problems, and as a result, has arrived at the following invention. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a method for treating a selectively permeable membrane comprising polysulfone and polyvinylpyrrolidone by γ-ray sterilization in a pH buffer. As the polysulfone and polyvinylpyrrolidone used in the present invention, known ones can be used, and a selectively permeable membrane produced by a known method can also be used. The pH buffer used in the present invention includes, for example, a mixed aqueous solution of potassium dihydrogen phosphate and disodium hydrogen phosphate, a mixed aqueous solution of potassium dihydrogen phosphate and sodium hydroxide, sodium citrate and hydroxide A mixed aqueous solution of sodium, a mixed aqueous solution of glycine, sodium chloride and sodium hydroxide, a mixed aqueous solution of disodium hydrogen phosphate and citric acid, and the like are used. The pH and concentration of each pH buffer can be set in any manner by appropriately adjusting the amount of each component. The concentration of the stock solution used in the present invention is 10 to 25% by weight, preferably 12 to 20% for polysulfone, 1 to 15% by weight for polyvinylpyrrolidone, and preferably 2 to 10%.
In the film formation, it is preferable that the content be 90 to 99% by weight of polysulfone and 10 to 1% by weight of polyvinylpyrrolidone. [0008] The concentration of the solute in the pH buffer varies depending on the dose of γ-rays. When irradiating with 2.5 Mrad of γ-rays, the concentration is preferably adjusted to 0.02 to 0.1% by weight. Concentration
When the concentration is less than 0.01% by weight, the acidification of the filling liquid after irradiation cannot be suppressed, and when the concentration is more than 1.0% by weight, there is a possibility that a solute may remain in the hollow fiber. Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described. Polysulfone 15% by weight, polyvinylpyrrolidone (molecular weight 4
A wet-spun polymer solution containing 9% by weight (0,000), 30% by weight of dimethylacetamide, 45% by weight of dimethylsulfoxide, and 1% by weight of water was prepared. An undissolved substance was removed from this solution, and an artificial kidney module having an effective membrane area of 1.25 m 2 was prepared using 7000 hollow fibers obtained by forming a membrane. The pH buffer and UF water described in Tables 1 to 7 were prepared. Was filled in a module and irradiated with 2.5 Mrad of γ-rays. With respect to these, a dialysis membrane eluate test (dialysis type artificial kidney apparatus approval standard) (see Tables 1 and 2) and a test on the blood side filling solution (Tables 3 to 7) were performed. [Table 1] [Table 2] [Table 3] [Table 4] [Table 5] [Table 6] [Table 7] From the results of Tables 1 to 3, the first embodiment of the present invention is shown.
2 of UV values from, equal to or smaller than the reference value. Also, from the results in Table 4, it can be seen that increasing the solute concentration in the pH buffer solution can prevent the filling solution from changing to acidic. According to the results shown in Table 6, the UF water (containing no pH buffer or the like) of the comparative example became cloudy, whereas the UF water filled with the pH buffer of Examples 1 and 2 of the present invention was colorless and clear. It was only slightly colored. Also, from the results in Table 7, in the case of the comparative example, the hemolytic test failed because of low pH, but Example 1 of the present invention passed all the biological tests. As described above, according to the present invention, the acidification of the filling liquid can be suppressed, and the decomposition of the membrane and the deterioration of the performance can be prevented. Eluted substances due to membrane decomposition can be suppressed. The membrane can be used more safely in clinical practice.
