The inventors of the present application have conducted studies to find that mitosis in most cells generally includes: the organelles in the cells are multiplied, the doubled organelles move towards the two poles of the cells respectively, a cell plate is formed at the equatorial plate of the cells, and finally the cell division is completed.
The cells are typically in a conductive environment consisting primarily of electrolyzed intercellular fluid, and other cells consisting primarily of electrolyzed intracellular fluid, and the organelles are typically polarizable; when a polarizable substance is placed in a non-uniform converging or diverging electric field, the force of the electric field pulls the polarizable substance toward a higher density of electric field lines.
When an electric potential is applied to a cell to induce an electric field in the cell, organelles in the cell can move according to the dielectric property of the organelles under the action of the electric field. For a cell which is dividing, electric field lines induced in the cell can be gathered at the equatorial plate, and the organelle can be subjected to an electric field force pointing to the equatorial plate, namely the electric field force can limit the organelle to move towards two poles, so that certain inhibiting effect on cell division can be achieved; furthermore, as the degree of cell division increases (i.e., the equatorial plate narrows), the electric field lines at the equatorial plate become denser, and the increased electric field force pulls the organelles toward the equatorial plate, thus inhibiting the formation of the cell plate, and further inhibiting cell division, even inducing cell rupture and apoptosis.
Because the division frequency of the tumor cells is far greater than that of the healthy cells, the tumor cells can be regarded as the divided cells, and the healthy cells can be regarded as the non-divided cells, so that the tumor cells can be damaged by applying an electric field without damaging the healthy cells, namely, the tumor cells and the healthy cells can be distinguished by applying the electric field to treat the tumor, the treatment effect can be improved, and the side effect can be greatly reduced.
The present application provides a cell division suppressing device, a method, a device, a system, and a storage medium for controlling the same, which are intended to solve the above-mentioned technical problems of the prior art.
The following describes the technical solutions of the present application and how to solve the above technical problems with specific embodiments.
The embodiment of the present application provides a cell-division suppressing device 110, and the schematic structural diagram of the cell-division suppressing device 110 is shown in fig. 1, including but not limited to: an electrode patch 111, a pulse generator 112, and a controller 113.
The electrode patch 111 is for attachment to the skin surface.
The pulse generator 112 is electrically connected to the electrode patch 111.
The controller 113 is communicatively connected to the pulse generator 112, and the controller 113 is configured to control the pulse generator 112 to output a sequence of electrical pulses to the electrode patch 111 that inhibits division of or kills at least a portion of the target cells.
In this embodiment, the controller 113 may control the pulse generator 112 to output a sequence of electrical pulses to the electrode patch 111, so that the electrode patch 111 can apply the sequence of electrical pulses to the tissue of the focal zone, and the sequence of electrical pulses may apply a potential to the target cells to induce an electric field in the target cells.
For the dividing cells, on one hand, electric field lines induced in the cells are gathered at the equatorial plate, and the organelles are subjected to electric field force directed to the equatorial plate, namely, the electric field force can limit the organelles to move towards two poles, so that certain inhibiting effect on cell division can be achieved.
On the other hand, as the degree of cell division increases (i.e., the equatorial plate narrows), the electric field lines at the equatorial plate become denser, and the increased electric field force can pull the organelles toward the equatorial plate, thus hindering the formation of the cell plate, and further inhibiting cell division, even inducing cell rupture or apoptosis.
On the other hand, the cellular organelles are gathered at the equatorial plate, which causes an increase in the pressure near the equatorial plate, which may rupture the cell membrane, especially in the state of narrowing of the equatorial plate. And the electric pulse sequence can make the organelle receive pulse electric field force, i.e. make the organelle have a certain hammer effect, thus can improve the possibility of rupture of the cell membrane. In addition, the pulsed electric field force applied to the organelles also affects the structures of the organelles, and can induce the disintegration or the rupture of the organelles and further induce the cell rupture or the apoptosis.
Therefore, the cell division inhibiting device 110 provided in the embodiment of the present application controls the pulse generator 112 to output the electric pulse sequence to the electrode patch 111 through the controller 113, so that the electrode patch 111 can apply the electric pulse sequence to the tissue in the focal region, can inhibit the organelles in the dividing cells from moving to two poles, even pull the organelles to an equatorial plate, induce the cells to collapse or break, and achieve the effect of inhibiting the cells from dividing or destroying the cells, and the electric pulse sequence hardly affects the cells which are not divided, thereby improving the ability of distinguishing the tumor cells from the healthy cells, not only improving the treatment effect, but also greatly reducing the side effects.
In some possible embodiments, the cell-division suppressing device 110 may further include: a memory. The controller 113 and the memory are electrically connected, such as by a bus. Alternatively, the controller 113 may be a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a general-purpose Processor, a DSP (Digital Signal Processor), an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit), an FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) or other Programmable logic device, a transistor logic device, a hardware component, or any combination thereof. Which may implement or perform the various illustrative logical blocks, modules, and circuits described in connection with the disclosure. The controller 113 may also be a combination of implementing computing functions, e.g., comprising one or more microprocessors, DSPs and microprocessors, and the like.
Alternatively, the bus may include a path that carries information between the aforementioned components. The bus may be a PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) bus, an EISA (Extended Industry Standard Architecture) bus, or the like. The bus may be divided into an address bus, a data bus, a control bus, etc.
Alternatively, the Memory may be, but is not limited to, a ROM (Read-Only Memory) or other type of static storage device that can store static information and instructions, a RAM (random access Memory) or other type of dynamic storage device that can store information and instructions, an EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory), a CD-ROM (Compact Disc Read-Only Memory) or other optical Disc storage, optical Disc storage (including Compact Disc, laser Disc, optical Disc, digital versatile Disc, blu-ray Disc, etc.), a magnetic disk storage medium or other magnetic storage device, or any other medium that can be used to carry or store desired program code in the form of instructions or data structures and that can be accessed by a computer.
In some possible embodiments, the cell-division suppressing device 110 may further include a monitoring unit. The monitoring unit may be configured to monitor current and/or voltage parameters of the electrode patch 111, and the controller 113 determines the operating state of the electrode patch 111 through the current and/or voltage parameters of the electrode patch 111 obtained by the monitoring unit. For example, if the current and/or voltage parameters of the electrode patch 111 obtained by the monitoring unit are consistent with the current and/or voltage of the electrode patch 111 when the electrode patch is empty (not connected to a load), it is determined that the electrode patch 111 has finished outputting the electric pulse sequence.
In some possible embodiments, the cell-division inhibiting device 110 may also include a transceiver. The transceiver may be used for reception and transmission of signals. The transceiver may allow the controller 113 of the cell-division inhibiting device 110 to communicate wirelessly or by wire with other devices for exchanging data, for example, when the controller 113 receives an ablation-stopping command or a needle-withdrawing command from a user via the transceiver, the controller 113 is triggered to control the pulse generator 112 to start the output electric pulse sequence or control the pulse generator 112 to stop the output electric pulse sequence. It should be noted that the number of the transceivers in practical application is not limited to one.
In some possible embodiments, the cell-division suppressing apparatus 110 may further include an input unit. The input unit may be used to receive input numeric, character, image and/or sound information or to generate key signal inputs related to user settings and function control of the controller 113. The input unit may include, but is not limited to, one or more of a touch screen, a physical keyboard, function keys (such as volume control keys, switch keys, etc.), a trackball, a mouse, a joystick, a camera, a microphone, and the like.
In some possible embodiments, the cell-division suppressing device 110 may further include an output unit. The output unit may be used to output or present information processed by the controller 113. The output unit may include, but is not limited to, one or more of a display device, a speaker, a vibration device, and the like.
It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the controller 113 of the cell-division suppressing apparatus 110 provided in the embodiments of the present application may be specially designed and manufactured for the required purposes, or may also include known devices in general-purpose computers. These devices have stored therein computer programs that are selectively activated or reconfigured. Such a computer program may be stored in a device (e.g., computer) readable medium or in any type of medium suitable for storing electronic instructions and respectively coupled to a bus.
Based on the same inventive concept, the present application provides a method for controlling a cell division inhibiting device based on the foregoing embodiments, which includes but is not limited to:
controlling a pulse generator in the cell-division inhibiting device to output a sequence of electrical pulses to the electrode patch to inhibit division of or kill at least a portion of the target cells.
Optionally, the controller 113 controls the pulse generator 112 in the cell-division suppressing device 110 to output a sequence of electric pulses to the electrode patch 111 to suppress division of or kill at least a portion of the target cells.
In this embodiment, the controller 113 of the cell-division suppressing apparatus 110 controls the pulse generator 112 to output an electric pulse sequence to the electrode patch 111, so that the electrode patch 111 can apply the electric pulse sequence to the tissue of the focal region, and the electric pulse sequence can apply a potential to the target cell to induce an electric field in the target cell.
For the dividing cells, on one hand, electric field lines induced in the cells are gathered at the equatorial plate, and the organelles are subjected to electric field force directed to the equatorial plate, namely, the electric field force can limit the organelles to move towards two poles, so that certain inhibiting effect on cell division can be achieved.
On the other hand, as the degree of cell division increases (i.e., the equatorial plate narrows), the electric field lines at the equatorial plate become denser, and the increased electric field force can pull the organelles toward the equatorial plate, thus hindering the formation of the cell plate, and further inhibiting cell division, even inducing cell rupture or apoptosis.
On the other hand, the cellular organelles are gathered at the equatorial plate, which causes an increase in the pressure near the equatorial plate, which may rupture the cell membrane, especially in the state of narrowing of the equatorial plate. And the electric pulse sequence can make the organelle receive pulse electric field force, i.e. make the organelle have a certain hammer effect, thus can improve the possibility of rupture of the cell membrane. In addition, the pulsed electric field force applied to the organelles also affects the structures of the organelles, and can induce the disintegration or the rupture of the organelles and further induce the cell rupture or the apoptosis.
Therefore, in the control method of the cell division inhibiting device provided by the embodiment of the present application based on the foregoing embodiment, the controller 113 controls the pulse generator 112 to output the electric pulse sequence to the electrode patch 111, so that the electrode patch 111 can apply the electric pulse sequence to the tissue of the focal region, and can inhibit the movement of the organelles in the dividing cells to two poles, even pull the organelles to the equatorial plate, induce the cell to collapse or break, so as to achieve the effect of inhibiting the cell division or destroying the cell, and the electric pulse sequence hardly affects the non-dividing cell, thereby improving the ability of distinguishing the tumor cell from the healthy cell, not only improving the treatment effect, but also greatly reducing the side effects.
In some possible embodiments, controlling the pulse generator in the cell-division inhibiting device to output a sequence of electrical pulses to the electrode patch includes, but is not limited to: controlling a pulse generator to alternately output a first pulse sequence and a second pulse sequence to the electrode patch; the frequency of the first pulse train is different from the frequency of the second pulse train.
Alternatively, the controller 113 controls the pulse generator 112 to alternately output the first pulse train and the second pulse train to the electrode patch 111; the frequency of the first pulse train is different from the frequency of the second pulse train.
In this embodiment, the controller 113 controls the pulse generator 112 to alternately output two pulse sequences with different frequencies to the electrode patch 111, which is favorable for meeting the requirements of target cells with different sizes on the electric field intensity and improving the treatment effect; on the other hand, the fatigue of the cells to the electric pulse sequence with single frequency can be reduced, which is beneficial to continuously realizing effective treatment.
In some possible embodiments, at least one of the first pulse train and the second pulse train comprises a square wave pulse train.
Optionally, the first pulse train is a square wave pulse train.
Optionally, the second pulse sequence is a square wave pulse sequence.
Optionally, the first pulse train and the first pulse train are both square wave pulse trains.
In this embodiment, each electric pulse in the square wave pulse sequence applies a relatively stable electric potential to the target cell, which is beneficial to subjecting the organelle to a relatively constant pulsed electric field force, drawing the organelle toward the equatorial plate, or hammering the cell membrane by the organelle.
The inventors of the present application considered that the first pulse train and the second pulse train output from the pulse generator to the electrode patch may be alternately output. For this reason, the present application provides the following three possible implementations for the alternating output form of the first pulse sequence and the second pulse sequence:
in some possible embodiments, as shown in fig. 3, the pulse generator is controlled to alternately output the first pulse sequence and the second pulse sequence to the electrode patch, including but not limited to steps S101-S102:
s101: after determining that at least one first electrical pulse in the first pulse sequence is output by the electrode patch, controlling the electrode patch to output at least one second electrical pulse in the second pulse sequence.
Alternatively, after the controller 113 determines that at least one first electrical pulse in the first pulse sequence is output through the electrode patch 111, the controller 113 controls the pulse generator 112 to output at least one second electrical pulse in the second pulse sequence to the electrode patch 111.
S102: after determining that at least a portion of the first electrical pulses in the first pulse train are output by the electrode patch, the electrode patch is controlled to output at least another second electrical pulse in the second pulse train.
Alternatively, after the controller 113 determines that at least a portion of the first electrical pulses in the first pulse train are output by the electrode patch 111, the controller 113 controls the pulse generator 112 to output at least another second electrical pulse in the second pulse train to the electrode patch 111.
In this embodiment, the controller 113 controls the pulse generator 112 to output a part of the first pulse sequence (which may include one or more first electrical pulses) to the electrode patch 111, then controls the pulse generator 112 to output a part of the second pulse sequence (which may include one or more second electrical pulses) to the electrode patch 111, and controls the pulse generator 112 to output another part of the second pulse sequence (which may include one or more second electrical pulses) to the electrode patch 111 after the controller 113 controls the pulse generator 112 to output another part of the first pulse sequence (which may include one or more first electrical pulses) to the electrode patch 111.
That is, the second pulse train is not entirely located between two adjacent first electrical pulses of the first pulse train. This is advantageous for increasing the duration of the cooperation of the first pulse sequence and the second pulse sequence, thereby increasing the therapeutic effect.
In some possible embodiments, as shown in fig. 4, the pulse generator is controlled to alternately output the first pulse sequence and the second pulse sequence to the electrode patch, including but not limited to steps S201-S202:
s201: after determining that at least one first electrical pulse in the first pulse sequence is output by the electrode patch, controlling the electrode patch to output at least one second electrical pulse in the second pulse sequence.
Alternatively, after the controller 113 determines that at least one first electrical pulse in the first pulse sequence is output through the electrode patch 111, the controller 113 controls the pulse generator 112 to output at least one second electrical pulse in the second pulse sequence to the electrode patch 111.
S202: and after determining that the first pulse sequence is stopped to be output through the electrode patch, controlling the electrode patch to output at least one other second electric pulse in the second pulse sequence.
Alternatively, after the controller 113 determines that the output of the first pulse sequence through the electrode patch 111 is stopped, the controller 113 controls the pulse generator 112 to output at least another second electric pulse in the second pulse sequence to the electrode patch 111.
In this embodiment, the controller 113 controls the pulse generator 112 to start outputting the first pulse sequence to the electrode patch 111, then controls the pulse generator 112 to start outputting the second pulse sequence to the electrode patch 111, and the controller 113 controls the pulse generator 112 to stop outputting the second pulse sequence to the electrode patch 111 after controlling the pulse generator 112 to stop outputting the first pulse sequence to the electrode patch 111.
That is, the start time of the second pulse train is after the start time of the first pulse train, and the stop time of the second pulse train is also after the stop time of the first pulse train. Therefore, the requirements of target cells with different sizes on the electric field intensity can be met, and the treatment effect is improved.
In some possible embodiments, as shown in fig. 5, the pulse generator is controlled to alternately output the first pulse sequence and the second pulse sequence to the electrode patch, including but not limited to steps S301-S302:
s301: after determining that at least one first electrical pulse in the first pulse sequence is output by the electrode patch, controlling the electrode patch to output at least one second electrical pulse in the second pulse sequence.
Alternatively, after the controller 113 determines that at least one first electrical pulse in the first pulse sequence is output through the electrode patch 111, the controller 113 controls the pulse generator 112 to output at least one second electrical pulse in the second pulse sequence to the electrode patch 111.
S302: and after determining that the second pulse sequence is stopped to be output through the electrode patch, controlling the electrode patch to output at least one other first electric pulse in the first pulse sequence.
Alternatively, after the controller 113 determines that the output of the second pulse train through the electrode patch 111 is stopped, the controller 113 controls the pulse generator 112 to output at least another first electric pulse of the first pulse train to the electrode patch 111.
In this embodiment, the controller 113 controls the pulse generator 112 to start outputting the first pulse sequence to the electrode patch 111, then controls the pulse generator 112 to start outputting the second pulse sequence to the electrode patch 111, and the controller 113 controls the pulse generator 112 to stop outputting the first pulse sequence to the electrode patch 111 after controlling the pulse generator 112 to stop outputting the second pulse sequence to the electrode patch 111.
That is, the start time of the second pulse train is after the start time of the first pulse train, and the stop time of the second pulse train is before the stop time of the first pulse train. This is advantageous in that the first pulse sequence is used as a main pulse for inhibiting cell division or destroying cells, and the second pulse sequence is used as an auxiliary pulse for applying a modulating or exciting effect to the organelle, so as to improve the therapeutic effect.
It should be noted that the output form of the first pulse sequence and the second pulse sequence is not limited to the implementation provided in the above three embodiments.
In some possible embodiments, the electric pulse sequence forms an electric field strength at the electrode patch of not less than 0.1 volts per centimeter and not more than 10 volts per centimeter. The electric pulse train provides such an electric field strength that an effective electric field is induced in dividing cells to inhibit cell division to a certain extent.
In some possible embodiments, the sequence of electrical pulses has a frequency of no less than 50 kilohertz, and no greater than 500 kilohertz. At such frequencies, the electric pulse sequence can induce an electric field in dividing cells, which has a certain inhibition effect on cell division, and can reduce or even eliminate the stimulation effect on non-dividing cells. Thus being beneficial to improving the distinguishing capability of the electric pulse sequence to tumor cells and healthy cells, not only improving the treatment effect, but also greatly reducing the side effect.
Optionally, the sequence of electrical pulses has a frequency of not less than 100 kilohertz and not greater than 300 kilohertz. The frequency of the sequence of electrical pulses is at least 100 khz and no greater than 300 khz, as compared to a range of no less than 50 khz and no greater than 500 khz, which allows the induced electric field to more intensely inhibit certain specific cells.
Optionally, the sequence of electrical pulses has a frequency of not less than 170 kilohertz and not greater than 250 kilohertz. The frequency of the sequence of electrical pulses is not less than 170 khz and not more than 250 khz, which causes the induced electric field to be more concentrated in inhibiting certain cells than is not less than 100 khz and not more than 300 khz.
In some possible embodiments, the sequence of electrical pulses forms an electric field strength at the electrode patch of not less than 1 volt per centimeter and not more than 5 volts per centimeter. Compared with the value range of the electric field intensity of not less than 0.1 volt per centimeter and not more than 10 volts per centimeter, the electric field intensity formed by the electric pulse sequence at the electrode patch is not less than 1 volt per centimeter and not more than 5 volts per centimeter, so that the induced electric field can play a role in inhibiting certain specific cells in a more concentrated manner.
Based on the same inventive concept, the embodiment of the present application provides a control device for a cell division inhibiting device, comprising:
and the electric pulse control module is used for controlling a pulse generator in the cell division inhibiting device to output an electric pulse sequence to the electrode patch so as to inhibit at least part of target cells from dividing or kill at least part of target cells.
In this embodiment, the electric pulse control module may control the pulse generator 112 to output an electric pulse sequence to the electrode patch 111, so that the electrode patch 111 can apply the electric pulse sequence to the tissue of the focal zone, and the electric pulse sequence may apply a potential to the target cell to induce an electric field in the target cell.

On the other hand, as the degree of cell division increases (i.e., the equatorial plate narrows), the electric field lines at the equatorial plate become denser, and the increased electric field force can pull the organelles toward the equatorial plate, thus hindering the formation of the cell plate, and further inhibiting cell division, even inducing cell rupture or apoptosis.
On the other hand, the cellular organelles are gathered at the equatorial plate, which causes an increase in the pressure near the equatorial plate, which may rupture the cell membrane, especially in the state of narrowing of the equatorial plate. And the electric pulse sequence can make the organelle receive pulse electric field force, i.e. make the organelle have a certain hammer effect, thus can improve the possibility of rupture of the cell membrane. In addition, the pulsed electric field force applied to the organelles also affects the structures of the organelles, and can induce the disintegration or the rupture of the organelles and further induce the cell rupture or the apoptosis.
Therefore, the control device of the cell division inhibiting device provided by the embodiment of the present application, which is based on the foregoing embodiment, controls the pulse generator 112 to output the electric pulse sequence to the electrode patch 111 through the electric pulse control module, so that the electrode patch 111 can apply the electric pulse sequence to the tissue of the focal region, can inhibit the movement of the organelles in the dividing cells to two poles, even pull the organelles to an equatorial plate, induce the cell to collapse or break, and achieve the effect of inhibiting the cell division or destroying the cell.
In some possible embodiments, the electrical pulse control module is further configured to control the pulse generator to alternately output the first pulse sequence and the second pulse sequence to the electrode patch; the frequency of the first pulse train is different from the frequency of the second pulse train.
In this embodiment, the electric pulse control module controls the pulse generator 112 to alternately output two pulse sequences with different frequencies to the electrode patch 111, which is beneficial to meeting the requirements of target cells with different sizes on the electric field intensity and improving the treatment effect; on the other hand, the fatigue of the cells to the electric pulse sequence with single frequency can be reduced, which is beneficial to continuously realizing effective treatment.
In some possible embodiments, the electrical pulse control module is further configured to control the electrode patch to output at least one second electrical pulse in the second pulse sequence after determining to output at least one first electrical pulse in the first pulse sequence through the electrode patch; after determining that at least one other first electrical pulse in the first pulse sequence is output by the electrode patch, the electrode patch is controlled to output at least one other second electrical pulse in the second pulse sequence.
In this embodiment, the electric pulse control module controls the pulse generator 112 to output a part of the first pulse sequence (the part may include one or more first electric pulses) to the electrode patch 111, then controls the pulse generator 112 to output a part of the second pulse sequence (the part may include one or more second electric pulses) to the electrode patch 111, and controls the pulse generator 112 to output another part of the second pulse sequence (the another part may include one or more second electric pulses) to the electrode patch 111 after the electric pulse control module controls the pulse generator 112 to output another part of the first pulse sequence (the another part may include one or more first electric pulses) to the electrode patch 111.
That is, the second pulse train is not entirely located between two adjacent first electrical pulses of the first pulse train. This is advantageous for increasing the duration of the cooperation of the first pulse sequence and the second pulse sequence, thereby increasing the therapeutic effect.
In some possible embodiments, the electrical pulse control module is further configured to control the electrode patch to output at least one second electrical pulse in the second pulse sequence after determining to output at least one first electrical pulse in the first pulse sequence through the electrode patch; and after determining that the first pulse sequence is stopped to be output through the electrode patch, controlling the electrode patch to output at least one other second electric pulse in the second pulse sequence.
In this embodiment, the electric pulse control module first controls the pulse generator 112 to start outputting the first pulse sequence to the electrode patch 111, then controls the pulse generator 112 to start outputting the second pulse sequence to the electrode patch 111, and after controlling the pulse generator 112 to stop outputting the first pulse sequence to the electrode patch 111, then controls the pulse generator 112 to stop outputting the second pulse sequence to the electrode patch 111.
That is, the start time of the second pulse train is after the start time of the first pulse train, and the stop time of the second pulse train is also after the stop time of the first pulse train. Therefore, the requirements of target cells with different sizes on the electric field intensity can be met, and the treatment effect is improved.

The control method based on the cell division inhibiting device outputs an electric pulse sequence to the electrode patch 111 by controlling the pulse generator 112 of the cell division inhibiting device 110, so that the electrode patch 111 can apply the electric pulse sequence to tissues of a focal region, the electric pulse sequence can apply electric potential to target cells to induce an electric field in the target cells, can inhibit organelles in the dividing cells from moving towards two poles, even can pull the organelles to an equatorial plate to induce the cells to be collapsed or broken, and achieves the effect of inhibiting the cells from being divided or destroying the cells, and the electric pulse sequence hardly causes influence on the cells which are not divided, thereby improving the distinguishing capability of tumor cells and healthy cells, improving the treatment effect and greatly reducing the side effect.
3. The control method based on the cell division inhibiting device alternately outputs two pulse sequences with different frequencies to the electrode patch 111 by controlling the pulse generator 112, so that the requirements of target cells with different sizes on the electric field intensity are met, and the treatment effect is improved; on the other hand, the fatigue of the cells to the electric pulse sequence with single frequency can be reduced, which is beneficial to continuously realizing effective treatment.
4. The control method based on the cell division inhibiting device alternately outputs square wave pulse sequences with different frequencies to the electrode patches 111 by controlling the pulse generator 112, so that the electric potential applied to target cells is stable, the organelles are favorably subjected to constant pulse electric field force, the organelles are favorably drawn towards the equatorial plate, or the cell membranes are favorably hammered by the organelles.
5. The control method based on the cell division inhibiting device is beneficial to improving the matching time length of the first pulse sequence and the second pulse sequence by controlling the second pulse sequence not to be completely positioned between two adjacent first electric pulses of the first pulse sequence, thereby improving the treatment effect.
6. The control method based on the cell division inhibiting device controls the starting time of the second pulse sequence to be behind the starting time of the first pulse sequence and the stopping time of the second pulse sequence to be behind the stopping time of the first pulse sequence, so that the requirements of target cells with different sizes on the electric field intensity can be met, and the treatment effect is improved.
7. The control method by the cell division suppressing apparatus controls the start timing of the second pulse train to be after the start timing of the first pulse train and the stop timing of the second pulse train to be before the stop timing of the first pulse train. This is advantageous in that the first pulse sequence is used as a main pulse for inhibiting cell division or destroying cells, and the second pulse sequence is used as an auxiliary pulse for applying a modulating or exciting effect to the organelle, so as to improve the therapeutic effect.
