Background technology
Because the progress of modern medicine science and technology makes human mean lifetime constantly prolong.Yet, because the improvement of living condition makes chronic disease replace various acute infectious diseases, become one of cause of the death main in the civilized society also.In these chronic diseases, especially with diabetes (diabetes) and complication (complication) thereof for.
Diabetes are because the secreted insulin (Insulin) of pancreas in the human body is not enough or act on bad, make sugar part can't be utilized (be about to sugar part and change into heat energy) by human body, and cause sugar part (being blood sugar) concentration in the blood formed a kind of metabolism (metabolism) disease that raises, when blood sugar (blood glucose) concentration of human body surpasses normal value 60~115mg/dl and reaches 180mg/dl, therefore sugar part just can be called diabetes via bladder along with urine is discharged human body.
The cause of disease of diabetes is diversities, may be the infection that is subjected to filterable virus (filtrable virus) by autoimmunity system (auto-immunization), makes that the pancreas beta cell is destroyed, causes the secretion of insulin amount to die-off and falls ill.In addition, also may be because muscle or adipocyte to resistance (insulin resistance) increase of insulin, cause insulin function bad, make that beta cell is withered and pathogenic.Or, and cause blood sugar increasing because in the human body he plants the hormone with anti-insulin and increases.Even be that pancreas is downright bad and cause can't excreting insulin and cause a disease etc.The complication of diabetes then comprises hypoglycemia (hypoglycemia disease), ketoacidosis (Diabetic ketoacidosis; DKA), the non-ketone acid stupor of hypertension hyperosmosis (Nonketotic hyperosmolar syndrome; NKHS) and lacticemia (lacticemia) or the like.
Though much also be difficult to avoid by diabetes or the caused disease of its complication, can reduce or delay the generation of complication via Blood glucose control.Therefore, when more aforesaid symptoms occur, promptly must carry out blood sugar test at once and treat, otherwise, if do not handle in real time, then may be because hypoglycemia, and cause stupor (coma) dead even.In recent years, utilized the various biology sensors (biosensor) of specific ferment catalytic reaction (enzyme catalytic reaction) to be developed, and be used on the medical application.The purposes of this kind biology sensor is to be exclusively used on the treatment of diabetes, with the blood-sugar content that helps diabetic's control itself in scope normally.For the diabetic that is in hospital, the blood-sugar content that it can control itself under doctor's supervision is in normal range.But for the non-diabetic that is in hospital, under the situation that the shortage doctor directly supervises, sufferer itself can then become extremely important by self-control of blood sugar content.Therefore, quick, a simple and easy and blood sugar measuring equipment accurately for the diabetic, just seems suitable important.
The existing blood-glucose meter that can detect blood-sugar content on the market voluntarily for the patient, generally comprise a main test cell and a biochip for measuring blood content, wherein biochip uses a corresponding electrode and cover a responding layer above electrode part, and contain the potassium ferricyanide (potassium ferricyanide) and oxidation ferment (oxidase), for example glucose oxidase ferment (glucose oxidase) on the responding layer.When using blood-glucose meter to measure, earlier biochip is inserted main test cell.Then, the skin that the patient can lancet thorn oneself is to ooze out drop of blood, and the drop of blood that will ooze out directly drops in the biochip that has injected main test cell again.After being inhaled into the responding layer that is positioned at electrode part top when drop of blood, responding layer can be dissolved.After one period schedule time, add that a reference voltage is to biochip, come iron protoxide potassium cyanide (potassium ferrocyanide) with electrochemical reaction (electrochemistry reaction), disengaging electronics, and produce a corresponding kinetic current and pass through electrode.This kinetic current is proportional to the ferrocyanide potassium concn that the ferment catalytic reaction produces or is proportional to concentration of glucose in the blood sample.Because the kinetic current that on biochip, produces, can change and decay gradually in time, so utilize this characteristic, convert the kinetic current of each time point to an output voltage via a current/voltage converter (Current/VoltageConverter), to obtain a voltage-time discharge curve.Then again with a voltage of each time point correspondence through an analog-digital converter (Analog/DigitalConverter; ADC) convert digital signal and deliver in the microprocessor (microprocessor) and handle to, try to achieve the blood glucose concentration value in the blood sample, at last blood glucose concentration value is come out via a liquid crystal display displays, for patient's reference.
In addition, more some biology sensor is in order to obtain the measuring value of blood sugar concentration fast and accurately, and the standard output voltage-time discharge curve mapping table (mapping table) that is built in the output voltage and with corresponding generation in the microprocessor comes mapping.The standard discharge curve that arrives according to institute's mapping decides its corresponding discharge terminal time again.At last, again by microprocessor according to the blood-sugar content in the discharge curve of selected standard and the discharge terminal time decision corpse or other object for laboratory examination and chemical testing thereof.
Because the blood sugar concentration that is contained in each blood corpse or other object for laboratory examination and chemical testing is inequality, when the blood-glucose meter that uses traditional fixed gain (Gain) carried out the blood measurement, its voltage discharge curve that is obtained in the measurement process can change along with the difference of blood sugar concentration.For example, when containing hyperglycaemia concentration in the blood corpse or other object for laboratory examination and chemical testing, the peak value of the sparking voltage that it is measured (peak value) can raise and the whole piece discharge curve also can be along with to rising, therefore after through an amplifying circuit discharge curve being amplified again again, may make the peak value of voltage surpass the frequency range of circuit and produce saturated (saturation) or suffer and cause discharge curve distortion (distortion) by (cut off).Because the voltage of acquisition peak value that can't be definite, so its corresponding discharge terminal time just has error, and the measurement of last gained also must be wrong.In addition, when containing hypoglycemia concentration in the blood corpse or other object for laboratory examination and chemical testing, the peak value of the sparking voltage that it is measured (peak value) can descend and the whole piece discharge curve also can be along with downwards, therefore when the gain of an amplifying circuit is big inadequately, can make discharge curve too concentrated, therefore in the sampling process of carrying out digital conversion, can cause bigger sampling error, also the measurement of therefore last gained also must be wrong.
The measured inaccurate problem of blood sugar concentration of blood-glucose meter that causes fixed gain for the difference that solves blood sugar concentration, some blood-glucose meter uses variable resistor to be used as a switch, after carrying out the blood measurement, judge by the specific people whether measured discharge curve is suitable, and then adjust switch, to obtain a preferable curve, the accuracy that makes blood measure is improved.Because this method needs medical personnel to judge and adjusts, so and be not suitable for general house use person, also need spend the result that could obtain measurement than the time of length simultaneously.Therefore, the blood measuring equipment or the blood-glucose meter that can satisfy real-time (real time), accurate (precise) and convenient (convenient) has urgency.
