Medicine-releasing capsule type digestive tract endoscope device
Technical Field
The utility model belongs to the technical field of medical instruments, and relates to a medicine release capsule type alimentary canal endoscope device.
Background
In 2001, the first capsule endoscope named M2A in the world was successfully developed by Given, Israel, and approved for marketing by the U.S. FDA, which marked the step in digestive tract examination into the "painless" era. The OMOM capsule type endoscope originated in China is developed and developed successfully by Chongqing Jinshan technology group in 2004 and 6 months, and after a patient swallows the intelligent capsule with water like taking medicine, the intelligent capsule continuously shoots the passing cavity section along with the peristalsis of the digestive tract.
At present, the alimentary canal capsule type endoscope only has the function of image diagnosis, the image contains accurate focus position information, and the fixed-point medicine release function of the endoscopic capsule in the alimentary canal is further increased by utilizing the information, so that the endoscope capsule type endoscope is a beneficial expansion for the medical application of the endoscopic capsule. The most common disease of human digestive tract is esophagitis and ulcer caused by esophagitis, and the capsule has the function of anti-inflammation and site-specific drug release, and can directly release drugs aiming at digestive tract focuses. In most cases, the doctor can basically determine the type of disease according to the symptoms reflected by the patient, and only does not know the specific position of the focus in the digestive tract, so that the diagnosis needs to be confirmed by means of a digestive tract endoscope capsule. In this case, the release from the endoscopic capsule is not limited to anti-inflammatory drugs, but other drugs may be applied within the capsule to spread the site-specific release of the drug. In most cases, oral drugs and injections have a great negative effect on normal tissues or organs of the human body in addition to the therapeutic effect on diseases. The treatment method directly aiming at the focus release can not only reduce the side effects to the maximum extent, but also can always produce the best treatment effect.

The device adds a small medicine cabin in a common endoscope capsule, and controls the opening or closing of a medicine cabin door in a target area of the alimentary tract by a radio technology to realize the function of fixed-point medicine release of the endoscope capsule. The target area, i.e. the focus position, is judged by the doctor according to the image information transmitted by the endoscope capsule. The medication administered in the cartridge is then determined by the physician based on the symptoms reflected by the patient and the physician's own clinical experience.
And a micro stepping motor is adopted, and the number of rotation turns of the stepping motor is determined according to the opening or closing amplitude of the bin gate. Too few turns easily result in incomplete drug release, while too many turns easily result in damage to the door.
After the medicine release is finished, the bin gate is closed, the integral smoothness of the capsule is kept, and the medicine bin and the bin gate are prevented from scratching the inner wall of the alimentary canal;
the medicine bin and the bin gate are both made of the same light polymer material, such as polyamide resin.
A method for releasing medicine by a medicine releasing capsule type digestive tract endoscope device includes such steps as loading the capsule in a medicine cabin, sending video information back from the capsule to the digestive tract to obtain the position and actual condition of focus, controlling the wireless transmitting antenna to send medicine releasing signal to the wireless receiving antenna in the capsule, converting the signal from the wireless receiving antenna to the rotation and rotation number of miniature step motor by a control circuit, opening the door of the medicine cabin, releasing the medicine in the capsule to the focus, controlling the releasing time and opening, and closing the door to prevent the capsule from being scratched.
The utility model discloses an actively advance the effect and lie in: firstly, medical image information obtained by a digestive tract endoscope capsule is fully utilized, so that the endoscope capsule has the functions of diagnosis and treatment; secondly, the medicine is released at the focus of the digestive tract, thereby reducing the negative effect of the medicine on the human body to the maximum extent and improving the curative effect of the medicine.
