Description

Equipment for inhibiting tumor proliferation by using electric field and control method and device thereof
Technical Field
The disclosure belongs to the technical field of tumor electric field treatment, and particularly relates to equipment for inhibiting tumor proliferation by using an electric field and a control method and device thereof.
Background
This section is intended to provide a background or context to the embodiments of the invention that are recited in the claims. The description herein is not admitted to be prior art by inclusion in this section.
An apparatus for inhibiting tumor proliferation using an electric field applies an alternating electric field to the lesion. Specifically, one or more pairs of electrode elements are affixed to the skin surface of a user, and an alternating voltage is applied to the focal region by an alternating voltage source through an electrode patch.
Cells in the late anaphase or telophase of cell division are susceptible to damage by alternating electric fields having specific frequency and field strength characteristics. Thus, selective destruction of rapidly dividing cells can be achieved by applying an alternating electric field over a prolonged period of time at the focal region. Some dividing cells will be destroyed upon application of the electric field, while non-dividing cells are not damaged. This allows the selective destruction of rapidly dividing cells, such as tumor cells, without harming normal cells that do not divide.
The ac voltage applied to any pair of electrode elements should ideally be as large as possible to achieve a better therapeutic effect. But this can result in the electrode elements heating up too quickly and causing equipment shutdown or frequent alarms. The operating voltage of each pair of electrode elements of the device should be kept relatively high for a long time to obtain a better therapeutic effect.

Detailed Description
The present disclosure is further described below with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings.
Referring to fig. 1, an apparatus for inhibiting tumor proliferation using an electric field generally comprises an ac voltage source 1, a plurality of pairs of electrode elements 21-24, a control device 3, and a temperature measuring element, not shown. The plurality of pairs of electrode elements will be referred to as N pairs of electrode elements, N.gtoreq.2.
In the apparatus shown in fig. 1, a pair of electrode members 21, 22 and a pair of electrode members 23, 24 are provided. In other embodiments, the tumor proliferation inhibition by the electric field may comprise 3 or more pairs of electrode elements. Each pair of electrode elements is used for applying an alternating electric field to a target area of the user's body, and the direction of the alternating electric field applied to the target area by different pairs of electrode elements is different.
The temperature measuring elements are used for measuring the temperature of each electrode element. One or more temperature sensing elements may be disposed with respect to each electrode element. Based on the detection results of the temperature measuring elements, the control device 3 can determine the temperature parameters of the pair of electrode elements. The temperature parameter of the pair of electrode elements is, for example, a maximum value or an average value among temperature values detected by the pair of electrode elements.
Devices that use electric fields to inhibit tumor proliferation typically include at least 2 states after power-on, one being a power-on state and one being a steady state after the power-on state. In the start-up state, the output voltage between the pairs of electrode elements rapidly increases and then tends to stabilize, after which the output voltage between the pairs of electrode elements is dynamically stabilized in the steady state. The control method provided by the embodiment of the disclosure aims at regulating and controlling the output voltage between each pair of electrode elements in a stable state.
In a steady state, as the temperature parameter of any pair of electrode elements increases, the alternating voltage output by any pair of electrode elements is gradually reduced or stepped reduced, thereby inhibiting the temperature rise of the pair of electrode elements.
In any working period, the working time of any pair of electrode elements in the working state is continuous (namely, any pair of electrode elements only has one continuous working time, and the working time of any pair of electrode elements is not interrupted) and has no overlapping with the working time of any pair of electrode elements in other working states, and the duration of each working period is equal. In one working cycle, the sequence of the output ac voltage of each pair of electrode elements in the working state may be fixed or random, which is not limited by the present disclosure.
Referring to fig. 2, in some embodiments, a method of controlling an apparatus for inhibiting tumor proliferation using an electric field includes the following operational steps.
Step 201, in a first state, the working time of each working cycle of the N pairs of electrode elements is equal, and there is no idle time in the working cycle, where the first state is a state where the alternating voltage applied to each pair of electrode elements is greater than the first voltage threshold corresponding to the pair of electrode elements.
Since the electrode elements are attached to the skin of the user at different positions and the equivalent impedance of the load between the electrode elements is different, the first voltage threshold corresponding to each pair of electrode elements may be different when the electrode elements are attached to the skin of the user at fixed positions.
The idle time is a time when all counter electrode elements do not output the alternating voltage. When the output ac voltage from one pair of electrode elements is switched to the output ac voltage from the other pair of electrode elements, a slight idle time is allowed. This small idle time, which may be ignored, is, for example, 2ms
Step 202, in the second state, the working time of any pair of electrode elements, of which the output alternating voltage is smaller than the corresponding first voltage threshold value, in each working cycle is adjusted and reduced relative to the working time of the electrode elements in the first state, the working time of any pair of electrode elements, of which the output alternating voltage is larger than the corresponding first voltage threshold value, in each working cycle is equal, and no idle time exists in each working cycle, and the second state is a state in which the alternating voltage applied to at least one pair of electrode elements is smaller than the corresponding first voltage threshold value of the pair of electrode elements and the alternating voltage applied to at least one pair of electrode elements is larger than the corresponding first voltage threshold value of the pair of electrode elements.
For example, when the device has 3 pairs of electrode elements, such as 1 pair of electrode elements outputting an ac voltage smaller than its corresponding first voltage threshold and the other 2 pairs of electrode elements outputting an ac voltage larger than their corresponding first voltage thresholds, the duration of one duty cycle is denoted as T, and then the duty cycle of the first 1 pair of electrode elements is reduced, for example, to
Figure BDA0003509138860000051
The working time of the other two pairs of electrode elements is
Figure BDA0003509138860000052
Step 203, in a third state, the working time of any pair of electrode elements is adjusted to be shorter than the working time of any pair of electrode elements in the first state, and the third state is a state in which the alternating voltages applied to the N pairs of electrode elements are smaller than the respective corresponding first voltage threshold values.
For example, when the device has 3 pairs of electrode elements, the ac voltages output by the 3 pairs of electrode elements are all smaller than the self-corresponding first voltage threshold, and then the operating time of the 3 pairs of electrode elements is all smaller than
Figure BDA0003509138860000053
In the first state, there is no idle time and the inhibitory effect on tumor proliferation is maximized. In the second state, the working voltage of the electrode element with relatively high temperature is properly adjusted to be low, so that the phenomenon that the equipment is stopped by alarming too fast is avoided, and the working time of the electrode element with relatively low temperature is slightly increased, so that the inhibition effect on the tumor can be ensured to be as large as possible. In the third state, since the temperatures of the respective pairs of electrode elements are relatively high, the operating times of the respective pairs of electrode elements are suitably reduced. The effective treatment time received by the user is as long as possible and the treatment intensity is as great as possible.
Optionally, in the second state and/or in the third state, an operating time of any pair of electrode elements, of which the output alternating-current voltage is smaller than the corresponding first voltage threshold value, in each operating cycle is determined according to the operating voltage of the any pair of electrode elements and a second voltage threshold value corresponding to the any pair of electrode elements, where the second voltage threshold value corresponding to each pair of electrode elements is smaller than the corresponding first voltage threshold value.
The working voltage of a pair of electrode elements is greater than the corresponding first voltage threshold, and the inhibition effect of the electric field between the pair of electrode elements on the tumor is better. If the working voltage of a pair of electrode elements is less than the corresponding second voltage threshold, the inhibition effect of the electric field between the pair of electrode elements on the tumor is poor or even ineffective. The ratio of the first voltage threshold to the second voltage threshold, which can correspond to the same pair of electrode elements, is typically around 1.05.
Since the electrode elements are attached to the skin of the user at different positions and the equivalent impedance of the load between the electrode elements is different, the second voltage threshold corresponding to each pair of electrode elements may be different when the electrode elements are attached to the skin of the user at fixed positions.
The larger the value of the operating voltage of a pair of electrode elements is lower than its corresponding second voltage threshold, the shorter the operating time of the pair of electrode elements should be.
For example, in the second state and/or in the third state, the operating time of any pair of electrode elements, of which the output alternating voltage is smaller than the corresponding first voltage threshold value, in each operating cycle is determined according to the following formula:
Figure BDA0003509138860000061
wherein, TjJ is more than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to N, T is the duration of the working period, K is the working time of a pair of electrode elements which output alternating voltage and are less than the corresponding first voltage threshold and are numbered j in each working period1Is a proportionality coefficient, UiOutput voltage of a pair of electrode elements with number j, Uj2A second voltage threshold, U, corresponding to a pair of electrode elements numbered jiOutput voltage of a pair of electrode elements numbered i, Ui2I is more than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to N, and the second voltage threshold value is corresponding to the electrode element pair with the number i.
Optionally, in the second state and/or in the third state, the working time of any pair of electrode elements, of which the output alternating voltage is smaller than the corresponding first voltage threshold value, in each working cycle is determined according to the working current of the any pair of electrode elements.
For example, in the second state and/or the third state, the working time of any pair of electrode elements, of which the output alternating voltage is smaller than the corresponding first voltage threshold value, in one working cycle is determined according to the following formula:
Figure BDA0003509138860000062
wherein, TjThe working time of a pair of electrode elements with the output alternating voltage being less than the corresponding first voltage threshold value and numbered j in each working period is more than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to N, T is the duration of the working period, K2Is a proportionality coefficient, IjOperating current of a pair of electrode elements numbered j, IiI is more than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to N.
Optionally, the method further comprises: and sending out prompt information of abnormal operation of the equipment to the user in a fourth state, wherein the fourth state is a state that the alternating voltages applied to the N pairs of electrode elements are all smaller than the corresponding second voltage threshold values.
In the fourth state, the working voltage of each pair of electrode elements is relatively low in the fourth state, and no safety problem exists, so that the device can be stopped, and only a user is prompted that the current device works abnormally. When the temperature parameter of each pair of electrode elements is increased to exceed a certain limit, an alarm prompt is required.
Optionally, in the third state, the idle time in each duty cycle is continuous. I.e. if there is an idle time in each duty cycle, the idle time is not spaced. Of course, after the on-time of each pair of electrode elements is determined, the total duration of the idle time is also determined. The idle time may also be divided into multiple segments.
Referring to fig. 3, further embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for controlling a device for inhibiting tumor proliferation by using an electric field, the device has N pairs of electrode elements, N is greater than or equal to 2, each pair of electrode elements is used for applying an ac electric field to a target area of a user body, the direction of the ac electric field applied to the target area by the different pairs of electrode elements is different, the ac voltage output by any pair of electrode elements is gradually reduced or stepwise reduced as the temperature parameter of any pair of electrode elements increases in a stable state, the working time of each pair of electrode elements in a working state in any working period is continuous, the duration of each working period is equal, each working period is equally divided into N sub-working periods, and at most one pair of electrode elements in each sub-working period is in a working state, each pair of electrode elements operates at most in one sub-duty cycle, the control method comprising the following steps.
Step 301, in a first state, the working time of each working cycle of the N pairs of electrode elements is equal and there is no idle time in the working cycle, and the first state is a state in which the alternating voltage applied to each pair of electrode elements is greater than the first voltage threshold corresponding to the pair of electrode elements.
Step 302, in a second state, the working time of any pair of electrode elements, of which the output alternating voltage is smaller than the corresponding first voltage threshold value, in each working cycle is adjusted to be shorter than the working time of the electrode elements in the first state, the working time of any pair of electrode elements, of which the output alternating voltage is larger than the corresponding first voltage threshold value, in each working cycle is equal to the working time of the pair of electrode elements in the first state, and the second state is a state in which the alternating voltage applied to at least one pair of electrode elements is smaller than the corresponding first voltage threshold value of the pair of electrode elements and the alternating voltage applied to at least one pair of electrode elements is larger than the corresponding first voltage threshold value of the pair of electrode elements.
Step 303, in a third state, the working time of any pair of electrode elements is adjusted to be shorter than the working time of any pair of electrode elements in the first state, and the third state is a state in which the alternating voltages applied to the N pairs of electrode elements are smaller than the respective corresponding first voltage threshold values.
This embodiment is different from the embodiment shown in fig. 2 in that when the operation time of one pair of electrode elements is shortened, the operation time of the remaining electrode elements is not increased. The operating time of each pair of electrode elements is independently determined. And the idle time is spread out over each sub-duty cycle.
For example, when the device has 3 pairs of electrode elements, such as 1 pair of electrode elements outputting an ac voltage smaller than its corresponding first voltage threshold and the other 2 pairs of electrode elements outputting an ac voltage larger than their corresponding first voltage thresholds, the duration of one duty cycle is denoted as T, and then the duty cycle of the first 1 pair of electrode elements is reduced, for example, to
Figure BDA0003509138860000081
The working time of the other two pairs of electrode elements is
Figure BDA0003509138860000082
Optionally, in the second state and/or in the third state, the working time of any pair of electrode elements, of which the output alternating voltage is smaller than the corresponding first voltage threshold value, in each working cycle is determined according to the working voltage of any pair of electrode elements and the corresponding first voltage threshold value of any pair of electrode elements.
The greater the degree to which the operating voltage of a pair of electrode elements is lower than the corresponding first voltage threshold value, the higher the temperature of the pair of electrode elements, the shorter the operating time of the pair of electrode elements.
For example, in the second state and/or in the third state, the working time of any pair of electrode elements, of which the output alternating voltage is smaller than the corresponding first voltage threshold value, in each working cycle is determined according to the following formula:
Figure BDA0003509138860000083
wherein, TjFor the working time of a pair of electrode elements which output alternating voltage is less than the corresponding first voltage threshold value and are numbered j in each working cycle, j is more than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to N, and T is the working cycleDuration of (K)3Is a proportionality coefficient, UjOutput voltage of a pair of electrode elements with number j, Uj1A first voltage threshold corresponding to a pair of electrode elements numbered j.
