Photo-thermal response microneedle device with health care function
Technical Field
The invention relates to a medical apparatus, in particular to a photo-thermal response microneedle device with a health care function.
Background
The mode of stimulating the Shi Xuan acupoint to treat diseases has a long history, and is widely recorded in ancient Chinese medical books. The Ling Pivot indicates that the stimulation of Shi Xuan points can regulate emotion, happy mind and strengthen brain. The book of changes refers to the "under-heart fullness" corresponding to "blockage of heart, no pain and fast" and can be relieved by stimulating the Shi Xuan point. The "Qianjin Fang of preparing Ji" indicates that shock, shortness of breath and other conditions can stimulate the Shi Xuan point. It is also mentioned in the "Jiuzhu Daquan" that ten Xuan Shi point acupuncture treatment is selected for treating heart convulsion and mania.
Modern researches show that the stimulation of the Shi Xuan acupoint can improve the microcirculation and the neurotrophic function of local tissues and reduce the permeability of local capillaries, so that the normal functions of the local nerve vessels of limbs are recovered, and the brain cell vitality is stimulated, awakened and recovered through the nerve reflex function. Therefore, the acupoint is stimulated, the effects of clearing heat, soothing nerves and inducing resuscitation can be achieved, and the health care effect is achieved.
The micropins are micro-needle devices arranged in an array and are made of materials such as metal or high molecular polymers. The microneedle can precisely penetrate through the stratum corneum without touching the pain nerve, can avoid skin injury and pain, and simultaneously has the function of promoting drug permeation. In recent years, with the development of high molecular polymer materials, polymer microneedles have become a new research hotspot. The polymeric microneedles gradually dissolve after piercing the stratum corneum, thereby releasing the drug. Compared with the traditional micro-needle, the polymer micro-needle not only can avoid the risk of biological pollution, but also can not cause larger damage to human body after being dissolved in the skin.
The traditional methods for stimulating the ten Xuan points include massage, moxibustion and three-edged needle punching, but have certain disadvantages. The moxa stick is used for stimulating the Shixuan acupoint, and the temperature of the moxa stick is difficult to control, if the moxibustion method is improper, skin can be bleb and ulcerated, cancerogenic substances can be generated when the moxa stick is burnt, and the lung of a person can be greatly injured, so that the compliance of a patient is not high. The method of the three-edged needle point needling is not suitable for patients suffering from thrombocytopenia, hemophilia, dizziness and the like, and has the problems of easy wound infection, difficult treatment of medical waste of sharp instruments and the like.
It can be seen that the existing treatment methods still have defects and need to be improved. Therefore, the invention combines the percutaneous administration of the micro-needle and the meridian point, utilizes the ten Xuan point to absorb the medicine, and then leads the relevant viscera to obtain good curative effect through the operation of the meridian, and plays the roles of health care and disease treatment under the double effects of the micro-needle and the meridian effect. Compared with the traditional three-edged needle point needling, moxibustion and other modes, the treatment method can avoid risks such as pain, lung injury or skin scald and the like, and can also enhance the effect of drug delivery. The microneedle device is often used, can play roles in clearing heat, soothing nerves, restoring consciousness, inducing resuscitation and the like, and achieves the effect of health care.

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure more apparent, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present disclosure.
It will be apparent that the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present disclosure. All other embodiments, which can be made by one of ordinary skill in the art without the need for inventive faculty, are within the scope of the present disclosure, based on the described embodiments of the present disclosure.
As shown in fig. 1 and 2, a photo-thermal response microneedle device with health care function according to an embodiment of the present invention includes:
The photo-thermal response micro-needle patch 1 with the base is of a replaceable structure, and can be replaced by a new micro-needle patch after being used, so that the repeated utilization is realized, and the cost is reduced. The polymer microneedle material is soluble base materials such as PVP (polyvinylpyrrolidone), HA (hyaluronic acid), PVA (polyvinyl alcohol) and the like, and a composite material thereof. PVA HAs higher strength, high biological solubility and good HA water-containing effect, and combines the advantages of the two materials, thereby achieving better effect. Thus, the present invention employs HA/PVA polymers to prepare microneedles. The photo-thermal response micro-needle patch 1 comprises a substrate and a needle body, wherein the substrate of the photo-thermal response micro-needle patch 1 with a base is made of a polymer containing a 2D MXene material, and the photo-thermal material 2D MXene can quickly and nearly hundred percent convert absorbed light energy into heat energy, promote the dissolution of the micro-needle and accelerate the release of drugs. The needle body of the photo-thermal response microneedle patch 1 with the base is conical, the maximum height of the needle body is 600 mu m, the maximum diameter of the needle tip is 60 mu m, and the maximum diameter of the bottom end of the needle body is 500 mu m in order to avoid bleeding caused by puncturing the dermis layer of the skin. The needle body of the photo-thermal response microneedle patch 1 with the base is made of a polymer containing mugwort and ginger extracts, and the medicine has the effects of dredging channels and collaterals and promoting blood circulation. In summary, the photo-thermal response microneedle patch 1 with the base can stimulate the Shi Xuan acupoint;
The infrared irradiator 2, the infrared irradiator 2 includes a bottom plate 28, a housing 211, five light-transmitting tables 21 with built-in infrared lamp tubes 25 fixed on the housing 211, and a supporting table 26, the infrared lamp tubes 25 are used for providing infrared light sources, the five-finger light-transmitting tables 21 support the ten Xuan acupoints, and the supporting table 26 supports the palms. In summary, the main function of the infrared illuminator 2 is to provide an infrared light source and support the hand. In particular, the invention is superior to any acupuncture point micro-needle for the treatment of the Shi Xuan acupoint, because the radian of the epidermis at the Shi Xuan acupoint is larger, the existing acupuncture point micro-needle is difficult to realize complete fitting with the epidermis at the Shi Xuan acupoint, and the treatment effect is poor.
As described above, in the technical solution of the present invention, the temperature of the photo-thermal response microneedle patch is raised under the effect of the infrared light, so in order to prevent the internal temperature of the five-finger transparent table 21 from being high, the right surface of the five-finger transparent table 21 should be provided with the heat dissipation holes 24. In order to improve the utilization rate of the infrared light, the upper surface of the five-finger transparent table 21 should be made of a transparent material. In view of safety, the light-transmitting portion is not suitably made of a polymer material in the present invention, but heat-resistant glass is preferable. The groove on the upper surface of the five-finger light-transmitting table 21 is matched with the base of the photo-thermal response micro-needle patch 1 with the base, and the side length of the base of the photo-thermal response micro-needle patch 1 is slightly larger than that of the groove by utilizing a size difference locking structure. In view of structural stability, a sealing ring (not shown) is disposed between the five-finger transparent table 21 and the housing 211. Considering that the device relies on electricity, the lower side edge of the base plate 28 is provided with a wire slot 213 facilitating the routing of the conductive wires. In addition, in this embodiment of the present invention, a second pole 23 is uniformly distributed on the edge line of the left surface of the five-finger transparent table 21, a first pole 22 corresponding to the second pole 23 is respectively disposed on the edge line of the right surface of the five-finger transparent table 21, and an infrared lamp tube 25 is electrically connected between the first pole 22 and the second pole 23. The infrared lamp 25 may in fact be chosen to be similar to the lamp power of conventional infrared lamp equipment.
The function of the photo-thermal response microneedle device with the health care function is based on the following principle:
(1) A photosensitive drug release method of microneedles. This method is to control the drug release in the microneedle patch by varying the intensity of the infrared illuminator. Under the irradiation of near infrared light, the photo-thermal material 2D MXene can quickly and nearly hundred percent convert absorbed light energy into heat energy, promote the dissolution of the micro-needle and accelerate the release of the medicine.
(2) Microneedle forced-through method. The microneedle technology provides an important and advanced mode for disease treatment, can effectively realize subcutaneous administration, and promotes rapid absorption of drugs, thereby remarkably improving the treatment effect. The method combines the percutaneous administration of the micro-needle and the meridian point, absorbs the medicine by using the ten Xuan point, and enables the relevant viscera to obtain good curative effect through the operation of the meridian, thereby playing the roles of health care and disease treatment under the dual functions of the micro-needle and the meridian effect.
The operation method of the photo-thermal response microneedle device with the health care function is as follows:
s1, mounting a photo-thermal response microneedle patch 1 with a base on a five-finger light-transmitting table 21;
And S2, the charging port 29 is connected, the light intensity control knob 27 is adjusted, and the treatment effect of the middle grade is best, or the patient feels comfortable. When the infant care device is used for infants, a low gear can be selected;
