Technical field
The invention belongs to biological cell fundamental research field, it is a kind of method of utilizing the moving electricity research of ultrasonic pulse cell dielectric characteristic, this method is moved electric theory model from electric charge level research cell dielectric characteristic as sonic probe according to suspension cell with ultrasonic pulse, can be used for the research of cell membrane surface charging characteristic aspect, especially cell biological effect of ultrasound aspect is studied in ultrasonication down in real time and had unique advantages.
Background technology
The ultrasound wave irradiation of doses can cause multiple biological effect in the biosystem of varying level.Up to the present, under many kinds of situations, the physical mechanism of biological effect of ultrasound is still very unclear, does not more have a kind of suitable method can study the process of biological effect of ultrasound in real time.At present, mainly contain methods such as cell electrophoresis method, electrochemical impedance method, patch clamp technique at cell dielectric The Characteristic Study method.The cell electrophoresis method is under the extra electric field effect, cell is done distinctive moving according to the difference of its surface charge, size, shape, detect the method for cell membrane electrical characteristics according to the information of the electronic characteristic aspects such as electrophoretic mobility of cell, mainly there are shortcomings such as more numerous, required long period of operation, repeatability and sensitivity is relatively poor in it.The electrochemical impedance method is that a kind of electricity with little amplitude is pulsed as the electrochemical impedance measuring method of disturbing signal; In addition, it also can study electrode system with the very wide impedance spectrum of measurement range, thereby obtains cell electrodynamics information, and studies the method for cell membrane charge characteristic with this, and there are shortcomings such as complicated operation, repeatability and low precision equally in this method.Patch clamp technique is to obtain the technology of electronics aspect information from small pieces (a few approximately square micron) film, promptly keep transmembrane voltage constant-voltage clamp, thereby measure technology by cell membrane gas current size, though this method precision is very high, apparatus expensive, complicated operation.In addition, all methods all can not be studied the biological effect of ultrasound of cell in real time more than under ultrasonication.
When the ultrasound wave (alternating pressure field) of a high frequency by a colloid system, the density of medium around wherein the density of colloidal particle is different from, the inertial force that the vibration of suspension causes causes charged particle to follow its motion, thereby causes the electrostatic double layer on micelle surface to produce distortion.Fixed bed and diffusion layer relatively move in the micelle surface electric double layer, and the change of the zeta potential that shows can be detected by outer electrode, and the current potential of this variation is called colloid vibration current potential (CVP); Simultaneously, if the external circuit closure owing to ultrasonic passing through, will produce the electric current of an alternation in the system, the electric current of this alternation is called as colloid oscillating current (CVI).Same electroacoustic phenomenon also can appear in the electrolyte solution.Because negative ion is different mutually with cationic group in the solution, therefore they will produce periodically dislocation under ultrasonic effect, thereby oscillating current occurs.This electric current is called as ion oscillating current (IVI).Though to first time of this electroacoustic phenomenon report is to propose prediction in 1933 by the debye, up to the nineties in last century Mike O'Brien just set forth his theory, thereby make this electroacoustic techniques that tremendous development arranged and be used in the business equipment.The moving topmost advantage of electrical measurement method is the original strong solution that need not dilute of its energy measurement, even the energy measurement plot ratio reaches 50% solution, and this point makes its be fit to very much many dense biosystems.And in this measuring system, the magnitude range of micelle can be from 100nm to 10 μ m, and this makes it very be fit to size probably is the human red cells of 6 μ m to 9 μ m.The most promising purposes of this technology is exactly medical early diagnosis and the research of cell biological effect of ultrasound in real time, and can be further used for the research of the aspects such as ultrasonic imaging of unicellular characteristic research.
Up to the present, the research of the moving electric theory method of colloid and application are mainly at chemical field, basically all be measurement to colloidal suspension particle zeta potential, these particles mainly all are ganoid polymkeric substance grits, the soft particle that ion can penetrating high molecular polymer yet cell but is a surface coverage.In addition, in the moving electric theory model of colloid in the past, all be to use continuous ultrasound wave as vibration source, be not suitable for biological cell is studied, because be approximately 10mw/cm at the sound intensity
2The time, under the ultrasound wave effect, cell has begun to produce biological effect of ultrasound, causes testing result inaccurate; And the low sound intensity acts in the cell suspension, is unlikely to make a little less than distortion of cell electrostatic double layer or the distortion very, makes to detect to become difficult unusually.So use ultrasonic pulse among the present invention, single detection ultrasonic pulse energy suitably can be increased, thereby detection signal is increased as sonic probe; But the equal sound intensity of whole ultrasonic popin is reduced, so that it can the pair cell physiological property not exert an influence.In addition, further also can detect pulse, thereby reach the function of real-time research cell biological effect of ultrasound by among the functional continuous ultrasound ripple of irradiation, inserting.
At present, just proposed both at home and abroad the model that ion can penetrating flexible glue grain in theory, but do not proposed correlation theory model and its implementation that actual cell suspension moves electric theory.
