Abstract: A novel and useful hemodialysis apparatus which can protect dialysis patients from hyperphophataemia. A phosphorus adsorbent is interposed in an extracorporeal blood circuit for dialysis. The blood taken from the body of a dialysis patient is subjected to dialysis as it flows through the extracorporeal blood circuit. At the same time, phosphorus is adsorbed and removed from the blood by the phosphorus adsorbent, thereby preventing the dialysis patients from experiencing hyperphosphataemia. As the phosphorus adsorbent adsorbs the phosphorus from the blood flowing through the extracorporeal blood circuit, it never enters the body of the patient and therefore does not cause any adverse effects.

Abstract: Vegetables or macerated vegetables were washed with water passed through ion-exchange resins capable of removing NO.sub.3 - and NO.sub.2 -ions to remove nitrate nitrogen harmful to human body, then pulverized by freeze-drying. Then, powdered vegetable juice is obtained by adding components effective for healthy life thereto.

Abstract: Disclosed is a process for the preparation of a heat-resistant polyester hollow formed body, which comprises mounting a preform of a thermoplastic polyester composed mainly of ethylene terephthalate units, which is maintained at a temperature where high-speed drawing is possible but whitening can be prevented, especially at a temperature represented by the following formula:T=K(100.multidot.IV-8.multidot.DEG+42) (1)wherein IV stands for the intrinsic viscosity (dl/g) of the thermoplastic polyester, DEG stands for the content (% by weight) of diethylene glycol units in the thermoplastic polyester, k is a number of from 0.95 to 1.05, and T stands for the temperature (.degree.C.
