Description

Generating device of space electric field
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of medical treatment, in particular to a generating device of a space electric field.
Background
The electric field tumor treatment technology is a comprehensive subject of applying electricity to treat malignant tumors. The effect of electric fields on tumor cells has been around for a century since its introduction, and as the theory matures, electric fields have begun to be applied to the clinical treatment of tumors. At present, the following 3 electric field technologies are mainly studied at home and abroad: space electric Fields (TT-Fields), dc electric Fields, and dc pulsed electric Fields.
1. Overview of space electric Fields (TT-Fields)
Alternating current electric fields have been widely used in many fields such as disease diagnosis, scientific research and environmental protection. Less than 103z, which is used to stimulate the bioelectrical activity of nerves or muscles, can cause cells to generate action potentials; higher than 106The high frequency alternating electric field of Hz produces a thermal effect on some cells or tissues. Between 103Hz and 106The Hz medium-frequency alternating current electric field can not cause depolarization and large dielectric dissipation, and has the effect of interfering the mitosis of cells.
1.1 TT-Fields mechanism for inhibiting cancer cell division
Some charged molecules (such as protein, polypeptide and DNA) in the cell oscillate with the change of the alternating current electric field. In the shimming electric field, the action force makes the moving direction of the charged molecules parallel to the direction of the electric field. Dipoles are molecules separated by a cathode and an anode, whose directions coincide with the direction of the electric field. Almost all charged molecules move in the direction of strong field strength in a changing alternating electric field. In the cells at the end stage of mitosis, the cleavage furrow is divided into two daughter cells connected by a narrow cytoplasm, an uneven electric field is formed near the connection site, and polar molecules move towards the direction of strong field intensity, thereby influencing mitosis.
(1) Arrest of mitotic spindle formation
The role of the spindle in mitosis is to divide sister chromatids evenly into two daughter cells. In cells that do not divide, microtubule subunits will align in parallel depending on the direction of the electric field. During the mitotic phase of the cell, tubulin is subject to an electric field of suitable strength to cause polymerization inhibition, which hinders microtubule formation. Which in turn causes the cells to fragment.
(2) Disruption of mitotic groove
Blocking spindle formation occurs in all cells in mitosis. In cells in the late mitosis phase, the two daughter chromosomes will be pulled to the two poles of the cell. Just at the end of mitosis, the cleavage furrow eventually forms and two identical cells will form. At this narrow cell membrane junction, a non-uniform electrical field like a sand-leak will be generated. The position of the maximum field strength is the central position of the narrow part, and the field strength causes the charged particles to be acted by a unidirectional electric field force, so that the charged particles move towards the splitting channel. The TT-Fields also use the principle to disorder the intracellular structure and generate the cell destruction effect.
1.2 therapeutic characteristics of TT-Fields
TT-Fields is that an insulating electrode slice is put on the skin at the periphery of a malignant tumor growth part to provide an electric field, and an electric field device works for 18 hours on average every day to form two mutually perpendicular alternating current electric Fields with the strength of 1-2V/cm and the frequency of 200 kHz. Can cover almost all the possible diseased areas of the human body and has no influence on non-differentiated cells. It has been reported that TT-Fields treatment has not found any toxic side effects, except that the contact of the electrode patch in the treatment device with the skin may cause local dermatitis. In addition, it has been shown that TT-Fields have low toxicity, good patient response and high co-therapy level.
2 d.c. electric field
Direct current electric field therapy, i.e. electrochemical therapy, is to insert electrodes as a cathode and an anode into tumor tissues, and to continuously electrify the tumor tissues to generate electrochemical reactions such as electrolytic ionization, electrophoretic electroosmosis and the like, thereby achieving the purpose of destroying or influencing tumor cells. In recent years, although many scientists have studied the mechanism of electrochemical treatment of tumor, the mechanism is still not very clear, and the main principle of the electrochemical treatment is that after the electrochemical treatment, the pH value of the tissue around the electrode changes significantly, the pH value of the tumor cell and the surrounding tissue is changed forcibly, most of enzyme protein is inactivated and denatured in the environment with the pH less than or equal to 4 or the pH more than or equal to 10, the permeability of the cell membrane is changed, and the tumor has various pathological effects such as cell nucleus coagulation, cell membrane collapse, mitochondrial disappearance, necrosis of the cell due to the coagulation of the nucleoprotein and the like, and finally the cancer cell dies.
3. Pulsed electric field
The pulse electric field contains various frequencies from low to high, the action time is extremely short, the caused biological effect is greatly different from a direct current electric field or an electrostatic field, cells can quickly reach the maximum membrane voltage under the action of the external electric field, cell membranes become thin under the action of electric field stress, and the cell membranes are broken down to generate electroporation when reaching a certain critical point. When the intensity of the applied instantaneous pulse electric field is more than 1kV/cm, the permeability of molecules in the cells can be greatly improved; if the pulsed electric field strength continues to increase, irreversible electroporation of the cell membrane will occur. Pulsed electric fields can be divided into two broad categories, specifically as follows:
3.1 electric pulse chemotherapy
Electric Pulse Chemotherapy (EPCT) is a method of tumor treatment that combines the action of a pulsed electric field with a chemical drug. The low-intensity pulse electric field can cause reversible electroporation to cell membranes, the permeability of the cell membranes is increased, the exchange of internal and external molecules is increased, and the local administration is facilitated to play a role. The degree of cell membrane penetration depends on the strength and duration of the pulsed electric field, the size of the target cell, etc. At present, the EPCT has a definite treatment effect on superficial tumors such as skin or subcutaneous tumors, but has no relevant result on the treatment effect on deep tumors.
3.2 nanosecond pulsed electric field
Nanosecond pulsed electric fields (nsPEF) refer to steep pulsed electric fields with a pulse width on the order of nanoseconds, which can cause irreversible electroporation of tumor cell membranes. At present, the research on the tumor treatment by the steep pulse electric field at home and abroad has made great progress, and the nsPEF technology provides a high-efficiency tool without energy dependence for the treatment of malignant tumor. The anti-tumor mechanism is complex, and can cause apoptosis except directly destroying tumor cells, but the specific mechanism of nsPEF for inducing apoptosis of tumor cells is not completely clear.
Currently, only novo-kuler (Novocure) limited worldwide developed a NOVOTTF-100A medium frequency alternating electric field tumor treatment facility for clinical use, which was approved by the FDA in the united states in 2011 as a second line therapy after failure of first line therapy of recurrent glioblastoma multiforme. A patent (CN1976738B, entitled tumor treatment using electric fields of different frequencies) filed by norwalk coulter, ltd in china, which claims a device comprising an AC voltage source, insulated electrodes; the electric field frequency of the special claim belongs to middle and low frequency, and mainly takes low frequency (the low frequency is generally 30-300 KHZ according to the frequency division standard, and the intermediate frequency is generally 300-3000 KHZ).
Existing electric field treatment devices and techniques have their drawbacks. First, since different types of tumors have different sensitivities to field intensity, when an electric field of a fixed intensity is used to treat a tumor, cells, tissues, or organs in a normal region cause changes in electric field lines, so that it is difficult to determine the actual electric field intensity with which the tumor cells are in contact, and accurate electric field treatment cannot be performed, which may cause the electric field intensity to fail to achieve the therapeutic effect. Secondly, the frequency of the electric field is mainly low frequency, which can generate low frequency current, and the low frequency current can cause the ion concentration in the human body cells to change and generate electrolysis in the medium of the tissue to form harmful substances. Thirdly, if the insulating layer of the insulated electrode fails or breaks down, the body can be seriously damaged, so that the potential safety hazard exists in the clinical application of the insulated electrode. Fourth, wearing electrodes in direct contact with the skin for extended periods of time can lead to allergic reactions in the skin.

None: the cell number of the treatment group is not different from that of the control group
The inhibition efficiency (number of living cells in the control group-number of living cells in the treatment group)/number of living cells in the control group was the greatest when the number of living cells in the treatment group was zero or the number of living cells in the control group was less than one thousandth of the number, and the inhibition was marked as 100%.
As shown in Table 1, the electric field treatment effect tends to be significantly enhanced with an increase in the electric field intensity. After only 1 treatment for 24hr, the effect of killing human melanoma cell lines appears when the electric field strength is greater than 1 KV/cm.

As shown in Table 3, the electric field treatment effect tends to be significantly enhanced with an increase in the electric field intensity. After only 1 treatment for 24hr, the effect of killing human brain glioma cell lines appears when the electric field strength is more than 1 KV/cm.

In the experiments described in tables 3 and 4, there was a phenomenon in which A72 showed an increase in the number of tumor cells after the first discovery of the treatment in the 1KV/cm (24hr treatment group) and 100V/cm and 1KV/cm (48hr) treatment groups. Further exploration (date not shown) was conducted with ROI (core tube friction region) of 100v/cm to 3 KV/cm. We have found an interesting phenomenon. Electric field sensitive cells like glioma cell A172 show a phenomenon of two distinct differentiation rates of cell growth under different electric field stress states. The discovery of this phenomenon means that electric field sensitive cells, living tissues, organs, soft tissues, and the like will have the following various applications. Such as: selectively destroying or inhibiting tumor cell growth in a test subject; selectively modulating or stimulating the division/growth rate of, for example, brain neural stem cells or neuronal cells; reducing blood fat; improving arteriosclerosis; preventing the thrombus from blocking the blood vessel; removing toxins from the blood; regulating autonomic nerve or regulating/eliminating free radicals, and improving immunity.
Experiment three: imaging observation of tumor cell growth before and after treatment
Mouse melanoma cells were grown on coverslips and cultured in TT-fields for 24 and 48 hours. After treatment, the medium was removed and buffered [10mM 4-morpholinoethanesulfonic acid, 150mM NaCl, 5mM EGTA, 5mM MgCl ]2And 5mM glucose (pH6.1)]The cells were washed, permeabilized and fixed with 0.5% Triton X-100 and 0.25% glutaraldehyde (sigma) 5Minutes, then fixed with 1% glutaraldehyde for 20 minutes and photographed.
Experiment four: establishment of mouse subcutaneous tumor model and electric field treatment experiment
Mice were cultured in cages in the absence of specific pathogens. Taking tumor cells in logarithmic growth phase, digesting with pancreatin with volume fraction of 0.25%, and adding 5 × 10 for each6mL-1The cell number density of (2) was resuspended in PBS and then inoculated into the right forelimb of the mouse. After 3 weeks, subcutaneous solid tumors of 1cm × 1cm in size were formed and randomly divided into 2 groups: control and experimental groups of 12 individuals each. The experimental mice were treated with electric field, and the control mice were not treated with electric field.
Tumor growth inhibition was recorded: taking pictures of nude mice tumors and body mass changes every 1d as the initial 1d on the day of electric field treatment, measuring the maximum transverse diameter a and the maximum longitudinal diameter b of the tumors of the experimental group and the control group by a vernier caliper every 2d, and calculating according to the formula V as ab2The tumor volume V was calculated 2.
HE staining observed inflammatory cell infiltration in tumors after treatment: after 24h of electric field treatment, 4 mice are randomly extracted from an experimental group and a control group respectively to be killed and tumor-taken, after the mice are fixed for 20h at room temperature by using 4% by volume of paraformaldehyde, the mice are dehydrated, embedded and paraffin-sectioned conventionally, 6 specimens are taken, and inflammatory cell infiltration is observed under a light mirror after HE staining.
As shown in fig. 7, the day of initiation of electric field treatment was set to D0, and the body weight and tumor volume were measured after anesthetizing the experimental group every 2 days after initiation of treatment. Tumor volume was calculated according to the elliptical volume calculation formula V ═ major diameter ═ minor diameter/2. The body weight of the first experiment varied almost without significant change from D0 to D24. The body surface of the experimental animal has no obvious signs of scald, depilation and the like. The test is carried out on the preferred 60KV/cm middle electric field intensity interval of the treatment electric field intensity. The growth trend of the tumor volume on the surface of the experimental animal tends to be stable after about one week of treatment. D6-D12 were in the stationary phase, and continued treatment with D12 started the tumor volume to decrease, and by D24, the tumor volume showed a continuous decrease.
