Description

Double-layer hydrophobic-hydrophilic modified hollow nano silicon ball, and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of ultrasonic imaging contrast materials, and particularly relates to a double-layer hollow nano silicon sphere with a hydrophobic inner layer and a hydrophilic outer layer.
Background
Early contrast agents, including liquids containing free bubbles; colloidal bodies containing suspended particles; emulsified liquids, and the like. The disadvantages are large size, instability and poor effect. Free bubbles are the simplest form of ultrasonic contrast agent, and H is adopted clinically in China2O2As an ultrasound contrast agent, it generates free oxygen after entering blood, and is mostly used for imaging in cardiology. Since the free bubble size is too large and unstable, it cannot circulate through the lungs and is not suitable for cardiac imaging. The colloid containing suspended particles can be used for enhancing the back scattering of soft tissues, has better contrast effect and long survival time. However, considering the toxic effect, the preparation can be used in small dosage, which limits the application range. Lipid compounds as ultrasound contrast agents are suggested from the echogenic enhancement of fatty liver, which is less efficient. After the aqueous solution composed of many compounds is fed into human body, the sound velocity and density of circulatory system can be changed according to the concentration of contrast agent, so that the acoustic resistance can be caused between vascular tissue and non-vascular tissueAnti-differential, thereby enhancing backscattering of the vasculature, but the enhancement is too inefficient.
Since the early 90 s, the research work on ultrasound contrast agents has progressed significantly. Compared with the early ultrasonic contrast agent, the coated ultrasonic contrast agent with the diameter of several micrometers and capable of passing through pulmonary circulation has the advantages of optimal application effect, wider application range and better stability. Meanwhile, several companies and research institutes in the world have developed different ultrasound contrast agents, and ultrasound contrast agents for animal experiments and clinical studies have been put on the market. Various contrast agents enhance the echogenicity of tissue to varying degrees and can be used for harmonic measurement and imaging.
The generation of contrast agents is mainly classified according to the type of gas encapsulated in microbubbles. The first generation of contrast agent microbubbles contain air and the envelope is typically a polymer such as albumin or galactose. The physical properties of the first generation of ultrasound contrast agents, including thicker coating, poor elasticity, and the fact that the coated air is easily soluble in water, etc., determine that it has a short duration and is easily broken, thereby limiting the observation and diagnosis time in clinical applications. The second generation ultrasonic contrast agent is a thin and soft bubble with an outer membrane mainly wrapping high-density inert gas (not easy to dissolve in water or blood), the diameter of the bubble is about 2-5 mu m generally, the stability time is long, and the vibration and echo characteristics are good.
In recent years, silicon spheres are concerned about due to good biocompatibility, easy modification and the like, wherein the hollow nano silicon spheres expose the corners in the aspect of ultrasonic contrast agents due to the fact that the hollow nano silicon spheres are small in size and air can be loaded inside the hollow nano silicon spheres, but the hollow nano silicon spheres have a hole structure on the surfaces, so that the air coated in the hollow nano silicon spheres is very easy to dissolve in blood, ultrasonic signals are weakened, the duration is short, and the clinical observation and diagnosis time is limited to a certain extent, so that the development of a relatively stable ultrasonic contrast agent based on the hollow silicon spheres is needed.
