(3) the combination controlled release sequence in the fifth aspect present invention content is accessed, pass to AWG (Arbitrary Waveform Generator) by master control PC master control imaging software, produce specified waveform and export to power amplifier by AWG (Arbitrary Waveform Generator), drive single array element transducer again and act on the peplos microvesicle, finish the collaborative targeting and the sustained release of this scanning position peplos microvesicle.
(4) utilize the master control imaging software to make three-dimensional motion device swing micro scanning, repeating step (3), all destroyed in scan vision until the peplos microvesicle.
The present invention does not relate to the preparation of peplos microvesicle, and the peplos microvesicle of mentioning among the present invention can be now commercial radiography microvesicle, the Levovist of for example German Schering company, SonoVue of Italian Bracco company or the like.
The present invention does not relate to the preparation of taking the medicine contrast agent yet, its preparation method can adopt the method for Chinese invention patent " acoustic contrast agent of acoustic contrast agent and double medicine, gene targeting vector " ZL03114567.1 (open day on August 27th, 2003, publication number 1438037).The present invention has only provided a kind of meticulous peplos microcapsular ultrasound sustained release method.
According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, provide a kind of and effectively worked in coordination with targeting and destroy ultrasonic sequence control method, be i.e. the continuous sine wave by a narrow margin and the controlled release through the such composite sequence of the linear frequency modulation destruction pulse of precorrection of alternate sequence+short time zero emission+middle width of cloth of precorrection chirp by a narrow margin.
(1) continuous by a narrow margin sine wave and the alternate sequence (10 of passing through the chirp of precorrection by a narrow margin 2~10 4Individual) in order to finish the collaborative targeting of peplos microvesicle, first radiant force and second width of cloth power of penetrating that this alternate sequence sinusoidal wave continuously by a narrow margin and chirp of process precorrection by a narrow margin produces are pushed into blood vessel wall with the peplos microvesicle, simultaneously microvesicle are flocked together.For treatment, medicine acts on tissue after by blood vessel wall.The radiography microvesicle is pushed to blood vessel wall and flocks together destroyedly, can increase the permeability of blood vessel wall effectively, improves the efficient that microvesicle discharges.Alternate sequence can for 100 sine wave+100 frequency-modulated waves+100 sine wave+100 frequency-modulated wave+..., the acoustic pressure amplitude is 50~200Kpa.All (0.5~3.5MHz) is consistent, and this is because at the resonant frequency place of microvesicle, and ultrasound wave is penetrated the power maximum to the width of cloth that microvesicle produces with the resonant frequency of peplos microvesicle for the mid frequency of continuous sinusoidal wave frequency and GCL sequences.Adopt continuously sine wave and frequency modulation sequence alternately, be because the peplos microvesicle is after being subjected to ultrasonic radiation, because static diffusion, its static diameter itself is just changing, therefore can cause its resonant frequency that corresponding conversion takes place, therefore adopt sine wave and frequency modulation on pulse to replace radiation, can improve the targeting efficient of microvesicle.When the frequency modulation sequence of constant amplitude drives transducer, because bandwidth performance of transducer itself, the ultrasound wave that can cause sending the not constant amplitude that becomes, at transducer mid frequency place amplitude height, amplitude is low at non-central frequency place, and it is inhomogeneous like this width of cloth of peplos microvesicle to be penetrated power.Therefore we carry out precorrection to FM signal, make through the FM signal mid frequency place amplitude before the transducer according to the transducer bandwidth performance low, non-central frequency place amplitude height, pass through transducer like this after, the frequency modulation ultrasound wave constant amplitude of generation.The sinusoidal wave frequency in this alternate sequence and the mid frequency of FM signal and tuning range all can be regulated by the treatment main control software in a third aspect of the present invention.The FM signal of process precorrection as shown in Equation (4)
s(t)=a(t)·cos(2πf 0t+πβt 2) (4)
Wherein, f 0Be the mid frequency of FM signal, total duration is t, and bandwidth is β t, and (general 0.5MHz~3.5MHz) corresponding, a (t) is the precorrection factor with the resonant frequency range of radiography microvesicle.Because the viscosity property of microvesicle, the present invention carries out frequency scanning at a slow speed to the frequency range of linear FM signal shown in the formula (4) in wide time range, and the signal s (t) that obtains like this drives after the transducer, and the mid frequency that can produce constant amplitude is f 0, frequency range is β t, length is the linear frequency modulation ultrasound wave of t.
(2) short time zero emission (stopping radiation) is alleviated the aggregation extent of microvesicle to some extent, overcomes the captivation between the microvesicle that second width of cloth power of penetrating causes.Microvesicle is penetrated at second width of cloth accumulative captivation is taken place under the power effect, can hinder and destroy the destruction of pulse to microvesicle, and stop short time of radiation, is generally 0.1~0.6s, allows microvesicle spread lentamente.After the diffusion, microvesicle or coherent condition are that accumulative degree is alleviated to some extent than before spreading, and when applying the destruction pulse, can improve the efficient of microbubble destruction like this.
