When a specific mini-LED is lighted, the light emitted by the mini-LED can illuminate the nerve bundle aimed by the mini-LED; when the optogenetic protein is expressed well in the nerve bundle, the illumination from the mini-LED will activate its neural activity.
The in-vivo machine in the embodiment comprises a packaging shell 2 and a receiving coil 3, wherein an in-vivo machine circuit board 4 is arranged in the packaging shell 2, an in-vivo singlechip 5, a carrier receiving circuit and a power circuit are arranged on the in-vivo machine circuit board 4, the carrier receiving circuit is connected with the receiving coil 3 through an input interface, and the receiving coil 3 is used for receiving energy and information sent by the in-vitro machine; the input end of the in-vivo singlechip 5 is connected with the carrier receiving circuit, and the output end of the in-vivo singlechip 5 is connected with the photoelectrode array through an output interface, and is used for receiving the stimulation strategy and controlling the photoelectrode array according to the stimulation strategy; and the power supply circuit is connected with the carrier receiving circuit and used for supplying energy to the singlechip from the received energy.
Receiving coil 3 among this embodiment encapsulates in coil encapsulation casing, the centre of receiving coil 3 is provided with magnetic core 6, be provided with the magnetism sheet between receiving coil and the coil encapsulation casing. The magnetic core is arranged in the middle of the receiving coil, so that on one hand, the inductive property of the receiving coil can be enhanced, and on the other hand, the receiving coil and an external machine can be attracted mutually after being implanted into a body, and the fixation of the external machine is facilitated.

When the optogenetic peripheral nerve stimulating device of the embodiment is used, the photoelectrode array is required to be wrapped to the nerve bundle to be repaired, then the in-vivo machine is implanted into a patient, when stimulation is carried out, the transmitting coil of the in-vitro machine is aligned to the receiving coil of the in-vivo machine, the power module of the in-vitro machine supplies power to the in-vitro machine, the in-vitro single chip microcomputer is driven to work, and meanwhile, electric energy is transmitted to an implant body in a wireless power supply mode. After the in-vitro single chip microcomputer is started, if a new stimulation strategy exists, the new stimulation strategy is sent by the transmitting coil in a coil carrier communication mode. Then, the external machine enters a loop for monitoring the operation condition of the implant, and periodically sends an operation log to the upper computer for a doctor or a user to evaluate the operation condition of the instrument in real time.
At the end of the implant, after receiving the electric energy of wireless power supply, the in-vivo singlechip of the in-vivo machine is started and waits for the in-vitro machine to start first, so as to confirm whether the in-vitro machine requests communication or not, and further determine whether a new stimulation strategy needs to be received from the in-vitro machine or not. If the external machine does not send a new stimulation strategy, the internal single chip reads the stored stimulation strategy from the EEPROM of the internal single chip to control the photoelectrode array to work and execute the operation circularly. If the in-vivo machine receives a new strategy sent by the in-vitro machine, the new strategy is stored in the EEPROM, and then the in-vivo machine starts to circularly execute the stimulation strategy to control the photoelectrode array to work
When the implant starts to circularly execute the stimulation strategy, the implant can periodically send the running condition to the upper computer in the modes of Bluetooth and the like. If the upper computer receives the communication of the abnormal operation of the implant, the external machine is controlled to be interrupted and cut off, and the whole device is restarted at a proper and safe time.
The stimulation strategy in the embodiment is that an upper computer generates LED lighting time and position based on a rehabilitation evaluation result of a patient, the rehabilitation evaluation result comprises an evaluation result of muscle function and action of the patient and image information of a nerve bundle to be repaired, the LED lighting time is generated according to the evaluation result of the muscle function and action of the patient, and the LED lighting position is generated according to the image information of the nerve bundle to be repaired; different muscle functions and actions correspond to the nerve branches in the nerve bundle to be repaired, and the light rays with different wavelengths correspond to the nerve branches in the nerve bundle to be repaired.
Because the photoelectrode array in the embodiment adopts a spiral design, the photoelectrode array can be wound on a nerve bundle to be repaired, and the mini-LED of the photoelectrode array can be sequentially lightened on time and space according to a stimulation strategy under the control of the stimulation device. With the stimulation device of the present embodiment, the physician can make different nerve branches respond to different wavelengths of light stimulation by selectively expressing different characteristics of the optogenetic proteins (e.g., npHR optogenetic protein responds to yellow light, chR2 optogenetic protein responds to blue light, etc.) on different nerve branches. Because different nerve branches correspond to different muscle functions and actions, single or multiple nerve branches in a nerve bundle can be stimulated in a targeted mode by controlling a mini-LED which is integrated in a photoelectrode array and can emit light with different wavelengths (so as to emit light with different colors). For example, when the recovery effect of the finger joint muscles is poor and the recovery effect of the wrist joint muscles is good in the evaluation result of the muscle functions and actions of the patient, the doctor can prolong the irradiation time of the mini-LED corresponding to the nerve branch affecting the finger joint muscles, so that the accurate adjustment on the time is realized. The doctor can also acquire which position of the optogenetic protein in the nerve bundle to be repaired of the patient is sufficiently expressed based on the image information, and at the moment, the mini-LED at the position can be controlled to be turned on, so that finer nerve regulation and control are provided, the functional rehabilitation of the patient is promoted, and the obtained lighting time and position of the mini-LED are a stimulation strategy. Therefore, compared with the traditional electrical stimulation system, the stimulation device of the embodiment has higher time and space resolution, can selectively stimulate different types of neurons in heterogeneous tissues by utilizing a transgenic means, and has higher treatment pertinence and targeting property.
A second embodiment of the present invention relates to a peripheral nerve stimulation system, as shown in fig. 4, including the peripheral nerve stimulation device of the first embodiment, a computer system and a dc power supply, wherein the computer system and the dc power supply are connected to the extracorporeal machine, and the computer system is configured to generate the stimulation strategy and transmit the stimulation strategy to the extracorporeal machine; the direct current power supply is used for supplying power to the external machine.
In this embodiment, the dc power supply can supply power to the external machine, and the external machine can also supply power through the lithium battery built in the power module. The in vitro single chip microcomputer of the in vitro machine is responsible for interacting with the computer system, and the interaction is usually IDE software (integrated development environment) in the computer system, and the IDE software can read and write programs to the single chip microcomputer or record communication data (wired communication modes such as serial ports or wireless communication modes such as bluetooth) of the single chip microcomputer. The external singlechip transmits the stimulation strategy issued by the computer system to the implant through the carrier transmitting circuit and the transmitting coil.
The implant receives energy and information transmitted from an extra-corporeal unit through the receiving coil. The carrier receiving circuit rectifies and interprets the energy and information received by the coil. The power management module of the implant derives power from the rectification of the carrier receiving circuit to power the circuitry of the implant and to charge the implant battery. The implant battery can enable the implant to provide reasonable duration of endurance under the condition of losing external energy supply. And after the in-vivo singlechip of the implant receives the stimulation strategy interpreted by the carrier receiving circuit, the in-vivo singlechip executes the stimulation strategy. The singlechip in the body sends stimulation pulses to the photoelectrode array according to a stimulation strategy to activate the corresponding photoelectrode. The photoelectrode can activate or inhibit the irradiated nerve bundle with the expression of the optogenetic protein, thereby achieving the effect of nerve regulation.

It can be easily found that the mini-LED array can be uniformly arranged at each position of the nerve bundle by twisting the flexible substrate on which the mini-LED array is arranged into the spiral sleeve in the embodiment. When a particular mini-LED is illuminated, the light emitted by the mini-LED will shine towards the nerve bundle at which it is aimed. When the optogenetic protein is expressed well in the nerve bundle, the illumination from the mini-LED will activate its neural activity. The mini-LED is connected with the in-vivo machine through a lead 2 and protected by an encapsulation coating.
