Description

System and method for regulating and controlling head and neck lymph
Technical Field
The application relates to the technical field of nerve regulation, in particular to a head and neck lymph regulation system and a head and neck lymph regulation method.
Background
The lymphatic system is an important component of the human immune system, and has the effects of maintaining humoral balance and participating in immune response. In anatomy, the system specifically includes lymphatic vessels, lymphoid tissues and lymphoid organs, wherein lymphoid organs consist of lymph nodes, thymus, spleen, tonsils, etc. To assist venous return and to participate in the immune process, the fluid located in the lymphatic vessels and in the lymphatic sinuses of the lymph nodes, lymph, plays an important role.
Researchers have concluded that lymphatic drainage techniques can increase lymphatic return rate by deeply knowing the anatomy of the lymphatic system in combination with clinical edema cases, thereby reducing the extent of edema in patients. Besides promoting the flow of lymph and improving circulation, the lymphatic drainage can also enhance the activity and the function of lymphocytes and improve the efficiency of an immune system.
In 2015, researchers at the university of virginia medical school discovered that the brain of mice would be directly coupled to the immune system through lymphatic vessels, which linked the lymphatic system to the brain's mechanisms of operation and brain disease. Further, it was found that lymphatic drainage of the brain has a remarkable effect in promoting apoptosis of tumor cells. In 2020, akikoIwasaki et al found that lymphatic drainage driven by vascular endothelial growth factor C can promote the growth and expansion of lymphatic vessels around brain tumors, increase lymphatic drainage, increase the degree of immune cell infiltration, and further promote the removal of tumor cells and inhibit the growth of tumor cells. In addition to tumor-related brain lymphatic drainage studies, there are teams that find brain lymph to be associated with Alzheimer's disease. As the most common cause of dementia, alzheimer's disease is characterized by the massive deposition of toxic Amyloid β (aβ) in the brain, and currently the more effective treatment is passive immunotherapy using monoclonal antibodies against Amyloid β.2021, sandroDaMesquita et al found that meningeal lymphatic drainage played a critical role in sediment removal and anti-amyloid β immunotherapy, and that by activating meningeal lymphatic vessels, the patient's response to immunotherapy could be enhanced, improving efficacy.
Thus, a series of products or methods for stimulating head and neck lymph by external action, such as head lymph massage apparatus, have been devised. The massage device utilizes the drainage pump and the inflatable head sleeve to conduct push type drainage on lymphatic system at the front, back and lower jaw of human ears, thereby realizing the purpose of promoting lymphatic flow. However, the product also has obvious defects: firstly, the air pump is adopted to press the inflatable head cover to be in contact with the skin, so that discomfort of a user can be caused, or the risk of infection is increased, and the adaptability of the head cover is also a problem due to individual variability; secondly, the action position and the action depth of the stimulation method are limited, so that the stimulation method can only act on part of lymphoid tissues, and the drainage effect is poor; finally, the operation of pressing by using the air pump makes the time resolution and the space resolution of the device lower, and the time cannot be controlled accurately or the local lymphatic stimulation can be completed.
Aiming at the problems of easy personnel discomfort, limited action mode, low space-time resolution and the like, researchers develop a technology for regulating and controlling lymph by using a physical field. As an emerging neuroscience technology, the basic idea of physical field regulation is to act on brain neurons through a non-invasive physical field to achieve control of brain neural activity. At present, main physical field regulation and control technologies comprise magnetic stimulation, ultrasonic stimulation, electric stimulation and the like, and have the advantages that on one hand, the stimulation can directly act on target cells, and the accurate control of neuron activity can be realized by regulating parameters; on the other hand, the technology has the characteristics of non-invasiveness, repeatability, adjustability and the like, and avoids potential risks and adverse effects possibly brought by the traditional treatment methods such as surgery and the like. Therefore, the physical field regulation and control technology is applied to the lymphatic drainage scene, so that the adaptability of a user can be improved, drainage can be completed by safer and more comfortable means, the adjustability of stimulation parameters can be improved, and higher space-time resolution and accurate stimulation effect can be achieved.
Currently, the part of researchers using physical fields for lymphatic regulation is mainly concentrated at the limb lymphatic vessels instead of the head and neck, which is related to the reasons of complicated head and neck lymphatic regulation mechanism and the like, so that the physical field regulation technology is limited to the part and only applied to specific lymphatic positions. Although teams realize physical field regulation of meningal lymph by using magnetic stimulation and ultrasonic stimulation, the method uses electromagnetic coils or ultrasonic transducers and the like as stimulus sources, and the area regulated by a single stimulus source is larger, so that the accuracy of lymph regulation is lower. In addition, when the instrument with fixed stimulus distribution is used for lymphatic regulation, the instrument can be influenced by the lymphatic distribution difference among different individuals, and the regulation accuracy is further reduced. Meanwhile, the device for executing the stimulation is complex, the device is narrow in adaptation scene due to the characteristics of high manufacturing cost and more use precautions, and the device cannot meet the existing requirements and needs to be solved.
