An adsorbent of high-mobility-group proteins (HMG protein) which can remove HMG protein in body fluid is disclosed. The adsorbent according to the present invention has a water-insoluble carrier on which (a) substance(s) having (a) hydrogen-bondable functional group(s) and/or (a) hydrophobic functional group(s) is(are) immobilized.

Adsorbent of high-mobility-group protein and body fluid-purification column

A hemocathartic column and apparatus, in which a column containing an adsorber capable of adsorbing and removing impurity components in blood, and in which the blood of an organism is extracorporeally circulated through the column, to be purified, and further in which if the pressure of blood at 120 minutes after start of blood circulation is P and the pressure of blood at 5 minutes after start of blood circulation is P , then a relation of (P /P )&lE;1.3 is satisfied.

Hemocathartic column for purifying blood

The present invention provides (1) a removal material for cannabinoids present in body fluids where at least one substance from amongst substances with functional groups capable of hydrogen bonding, substances with hydrophobic functional groups, substances having cationic functional groups and physiologically active substances, is immobilized on a water-insoluble carrier, and (2) a cannabinoid removal column characterized in that it incorporates an aforesaid material (1). In accordance with the present invention, cannabinoids present in, for example, the blood, can be selectively removed.
