Description

Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of nano-drug medical detection, in particular to a dual-wavelength dual-scale nano-drug in-vivo monitoring system and a time sequence control method.
Background
The nano-drug is a nanoparticle in pharmaceutics, has a large surface area, and has high chemical activity, strong effect and high absorption speed compared with a common preparation. The nanometer reagent has very small size and high penetrating capacity in organism, and the nanometer preparation prepared with proper material and technological process can regulate the distribution of medicine in body. Therefore, the nano-drug can improve the stability and the circulation time of the drug, enhance the targeted absorption capacity and improve the distribution and the metabolic process of the drug.
The nano-drug has unique advantages and is a hot spot of drug research, but the clinical transformation efficiency is extremely low, and the fundamental reason is the lack of a pre-clinical systematic patent drug evaluation system. The nanometer medicine is dyed with fluorescent dye, and the stability, targeting property, metabolic process and the like of the nanometer medicine in vivo are reflected by detecting fluorescence, so that the method is the most common method for evaluating the efficacy of the nanometer medicine. Usually, dye FITC (ex/em:480nm/520nm) and the like are used for marking the nanoshell, the tissue distribution of the nanoshell is observed, and the targeting effect of the nano-drug is revealed; drug labeling was performed with the cy5 series (ex/em:650/670nm) to observe drug leakage and controlled release characteristics. At present, fluorescence is mainly detected through a tissue section, and the method mainly has the following problems: on one hand, the whole data of all time points cannot be obtained in the same animal body, the difference between different experimental individuals is large, the model animal cannot be dynamically observed in real time, the tissue slices can only be reproduced when the data of different points are required to be obtained, the tissue slices can be processed after the animal is processed, and the obtained experimental result is not necessarily the real condition of the living animal; on the other hand, the method for detecting the fluorescent dye through the tissue slice has single scale, can only obtain the distribution condition of the nano-drug in the tissue, and cannot obtain the dynamic change of the nano-drug in the blood.
The traditional in vivo detection of nano-drugs is generally realized by a nuclide imaging method, and the method has low spatial resolution and can only observe the radioactive accumulation of the nano-drugs in certain organs of the animal body. In addition, only one radioactive element can be detected in a nuclide imaging experiment, and the detection of the separation condition of the nanoshell and the drug cannot be realized, so that the characteristics of drug leakage, controlled release and the like cannot be analyzed.
