Radioiodinated erythropoietin (Epo) was bound specifically to the cells of two non-erythroid clonal lines, PC12 and SN6, which expressed neuronal characteristics. The binding time-, cell number-, dose-dependent reversible. Although cloned Epo receptor from (derived rat adrenal medulla) identical that erythroid cells, significant differences in ligand properties between lineages were found; 1) had a single class sites with very low affinity (Kd = 16 nM), whereas classes different affinities...

With the objective of developing a small blood pump with levitated rotor, we propose design scheme for an axial-type self-bearing motor. The axial type motor, which is basically composed disc motor and magnetic bearing, controls both rotation translation rotor. proposed similar to bidirectional except changing magnitudes sides flux control attractive force. However, radial tilt directions rely on passive stability, and, therefore, rotor has poor damping might cause damage constituents....
