Towards an Accessible Hollow Fiber Infection Model - Performance of Polysulfone Hemodialyzer Compared to a Commercial Cartridge
Journal of Global Antimicrobial Resistance(2024)
Abstract
BACKGROUND The Hollow Fiber Infection Model (HFIM) is established for studying pharmacodynamic (PD) effects considering pharmacokinetic (PK) profiles. The core is a cartridge with bacteria retained outside hollow fibers, which nutrients, metabolites and anti-infectives can selectively permeate. However, commercial cartridges with high-flux polysulfone (PS) fibers are expensive (up to 1000 €), limiting academic research use. Hemodialyzers for renal replacement therapy are similarly constructed and within an affordable price range (15-30 €). AIM Comparison of cost-effective renal replacement therapy PS hemodialyzer with commercial HFIM cartridges. METHODS HFIM experiments were conducted in a commercial cartridge (FiberCell Systems C2011) and a PS hemodialyzer (Fresenius Medical Care FX paed) using a clinical E. coli treated with Ceftazidim/Avibactam (CZA) or Fosfomycin (FOS). For CZA + FOS scenarios, one commercial cartridge and three hemodialyzers were connected in parallel to assure equal conditions. RESULTS Hemodialyzers proved suitable for HFIM experiments. PD results from both systems in high and low-dose scenarios were in concordance. Notably, in two regimens (CZA 0.06/0.015 g + FOS 0.125 g and CZA 0.5/0.125 g), regrowth was observed in the commercial cartridge but not in the FX paed hemodialyzer. Conversely, FOS 4 g showed regrowth in the FX paed hemodialyzer but not in the commercial cartridge. PD effects in FX paed hemodialyzers were reproducible. CONCLUSION FX paed hemodialyzers demonstrated reproducibility in PD results, with some discrepancy from commercial cartridges. More research to explore the causes for the differences is warranted.

- Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
- We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
- We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
- The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
- Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
