Abstract: A peritoneal function testing method uses a ratio of MTACun/MTACc, calculated using MTACun and MTACc, as an index for a peritoneal function test, wherein MTACun is an overall mass transfer-area coefficient for urea nitrogen and MTACun is an overall mass transfer-area coefficient for creatinine. The use of MTACun/MTACc enables examination of the future peritoneal function of a patient (a mechanism of deterioration in peritoneal function). To be specific, MTACun and MTACc can be obtained by computing a Pyle-Popovich model. In addition, the peritoneal function testing method further calculates a permeability coefficient for cell pores (LpSC) and an overall permeability coefficient (LPS) from a Three-Pore Theory model while obtaining a ratio of LPSC/LPS calculated using the LPSC and the LPS. The LPSC/LPS ratio and the MTACun/MTACc ratio can be used as indexes for the peritoneal function test.

Abstract: A peritoneal function testing apparatus tests the peritoneal function of a dialysis patient easily and with high accuracy. Standards of four kinetic parameters (CCr, Kt/V, MTACu, and MTACc) available in a definite dialysis guideline are computed in accordance with a relational expression, and a curve showing the relation between MTACu/c and the drained fluid volume is indicated in a graph together with the PET data of the patient which has been prepared separately. Thus, the peritoneal function can be evaluated based on the relative position of the patient's data and the curve showing the standard values in the graph.

Abstract: The present invention is a peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis hybrid-remedy planning method using an index that is shared by both peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis and indicates an effect of dialysis. To be specific, the index is M/C(0)/VB, which is obtained by dividing a ratio M/C(0)—where M is a removal amount of a solute for a fixed time period, and C(0) is a concentration of the solute in blood before the dialysis—by a patient's body fluid volume, VB. The present invention is capable of representing the dialysis effect of PD and HD as an integrated sum, and achieving concise and explicit PD and HD hybrid-remedy planning.

Abstract: A plurality of masters continuously receives data through a specific channel to detect whether a slave exists nearby. On the other hand, the slave transmits data for a given period through the specific channel by a trigger specified by a user. A master near the slave receives the data transmitted by the slave and recognizes that the slave exists nearby. After the recognition of the slave, the master performs carrier senses on channels other than the specific channel and transmits data for a given period through a channel on which a carrier does not exist. After the transmission through the specific channel, the slave receives a plurality of channels other than the specific channel to receive the data transmitted by the master.

Abstract: In a sound signal playback machine and method thereof, predetermined high frequency components are extracted from sound signals SL to SC of a main channel by high frequency pass filters 21 to 25, and these high frequency components are respectively played back by speakers. At the same time, predetermined low frequency components are extracted from sound signals SL to SC of the main channel by low frequency pass filters. These low frequency components and sound signal SLFE exclusively used for the low frequency band are added to each other, and the thus obtained addition signal is played back by the speaker 66. In this case, the degree of the low frequency pass filters is set higher than the degree of the high frequency pass filters, and the high frequency component is delayed.
