Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of medical equipment for treating tumors, in particular to a high-frequency bipolar unrecoverable electroporation system.
Background
Tumors are a common disease and a frequently encountered disease, wherein malignant tumors are the most serious diseases which endanger human health at present. Since the pathogenesis and etiology of malignant tumors are not fully understood, fundamental preventive measures are lacking. To date, humans have not been able to cure malignant tumors as they do other common frequently encountered diseases. Because of the difficulty in treating malignant tumors, for centuries, various scholars treat malignant tumors by combining surgery and radiotherapy and chemotherapy to achieve a longer life span. However, radiotherapy and chemotherapy have great influence on human immunity and seriously affect the quality of life.
Irreversible Electroporation (IRE) is an emerging non-thermal ablation technique for treating tumors. The micro-second high-voltage discharge pulse is used to form nanometer pores on the cell membrane of the affected cell, so as to change the permeability of the cell membrane, destroy the homeostasis of the cell and further cause apoptosis, and the process is called irreversible electroporation. A typical treatment scheme of irreversible electroporation is to transmit a square wave pulse with a voltage of 1500v/cm and a pulse width of 50-100 mus in a single direction between two electrode needles, and the number of pulses is 70-100. The number of electrodes, the distance between the electrodes and the exposed length of the electrodes can be adjusted according to the size and the shape of the tumor in the treatment process. When the IRE is used, most importantly, the electric field does not cause thermal effect while damaging cell membranes, so that the tissue damage is caused, therefore, the IRE has wide application prospect in clinic, and particularly for the focus close to important blood vessels and nerves, the IRE can carry out minimally invasive ablation, and the treatment safety is improved.
Although IRE has good clinical prospect, the existing irreversible electroporation adopts unipolar high-voltage discharge pulse to act on cells, when the technique is used for irreversible ablation of tumor cells of a human body, the pulse discharge can cause large convulsion of muscles of a patient at the moment of pulse discharge, so that the limbs of the patient can be induced to move greatly, and the position fixation and treatment effect of a discharge electrode are seriously influenced. Therefore, at present, the trachea intubation, general anesthesia, muscle relaxant injection and ventilator assistance are needed for the patient in the implementation of such a surgery, the surgery cannot be conveniently performed under local anesthesia as most of the currently applied clinical interventional minimally invasive surgeries, the surgery process is complicated, the cost is high, the complexity and the risk of the ablation surgery are increased, and some complications may be caused, so that the application and the popularization of the technology are limited.

When the system works, the discharge electrode is inserted into a focus part, and the charge switches KJ1 and KJ2 are closed firstly to charge the energy storage capacitor bank. When the voltage at the point J1, i.e. the first feedback signal point, reaches a predetermined value, the charging switches KJ1 and KJ2 are opened, the discharging switches KJ3 and KJ4 are closed, and the energy storage capacitor bank is discharged. The fast electronic switch forms high-frequency and high-voltage pulses under the action of an IGBT driving circuit, the width of the pulses can be set to be between 2us and 50 mu s, and the pulses with the same pulse width are alternately conducted between two discharge electrodes.
A plurality of discharge electrodes can be selected to carry out bipolar pulse discharge, and the high-voltage steep pulse forms a reticular discharge area in the tissue on the setting of a treatment area, so that an effective irreversible electric field can cover the tumor tissue as much as possible, ablation blind areas are reduced, and the effectiveness of a treatment plan is enhanced; at the rising edge of the pulse, a perforation of the cells is achieved, the process of which is irreversible, thereby achieving cell inactivation.
The high-frequency bipolar unrecoverable electroporation system provided by the invention uses bipolar high-voltage pulses with nanosecond rising edges to perform nano-order electroporation on the outer membrane of the biological cells, so that the inactivation effect on the biological cells is realized. The system is applied to tumor treatment, can realize inactivation treatment of tumor fine application, and can achieve the effects of minimal invasion and no heat deposition. In addition, the irreversible electroporation only can perforate general tissue cells and does not work on connective tissue cells such as blood vessels, nerves and the like, and meanwhile, the high-frequency bipolar irreversible electroporation realizes tumor ablation operation under the conditions of local anesthesia, no muscle relaxant injection and no mechanical ventilation of a respirator, thereby fundamentally improving the safety and the quality of the operation.
The invention adopts the form of charging and discharging of a capacitor bank, takes a field programmable gate array (FPGA or CPLD) and a Digital Signal Processor (DSP) as a central controller, takes an insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBD) as a steep pulse generating switch, can generate bipolar high-voltage pulses with the frequency of 250kHZ, has the output voltage of 1000v-5000v, and can regulate positive and negative pulses within the range of 2 mus-50 mus. The number of probes to be used (namely the number of discharge electrodes) and the combination of the probes (namely the selection of the discharge electrodes) are selected through a user operation interface, and parameters such as voltage (1000v-5000v), positive pulse width (2 mus-50 mus), negative pulse width (2 mus-50 mus), number of pulses in a group (1-15), number of pulse groups (1 group-250 groups) and the like are set through the electrode spacing.
In summary, the present invention provides a high-frequency bipolar unrecoverable electroporation system, which comprises an upper information management module, a lower computer control module and a bipolar high-voltage pulse discharge circuit; the upper layer information management module receives the set working parameters and then transmits the working parameters to the lower computer control module, and then generates a control signal and transmits the control signal to the bipolar high-voltage pulse discharge circuit to generate bipolar high-voltage pulses. Compared with the traditional unipolar irreversible electroporation pulse sequence, the method can better and more uniformly improve the induced transmembrane potential of the closely-arranged cells to the simulated electroporation threshold value, thereby enabling the ablation area to be more uniform. The invention can achieve the purposes of good tumor ablation effect and tumor growth inhibition, and has good safety and effectiveness.
