the invention provides a gingival crevicular fluid collecting brush and a preparation method thereof, which can collect gingival crevicular fluid conveniently and rapidly and has high recovery efficiency of biological molecules by utilizing the characteristics of good flexibility, good water absorption, no toxicity and the like of bristles of a commercial toothbrush.
Example 1
As shown in fig. 1, the invention provides a gingival crevicular fluid collection brush, which comprises a handheld part 1 and a collection part 2. The collection portion 2 is connected on handheld portion 1, and collection portion 2 is including the many brush hair of material for soft hair fibre, and width and the thickness of collection portion 2 all reduce gradually from one end to the other end, and handheld portion 1 is kept away from to the tip of collection portion 2, forms the gathering form brush hair cluster of similar writing brush nib.
The width and thickness of the collecting portion 2 refer to a length perpendicular to the extending direction of the collecting portion 2, and the width is larger than the thickness. Such a gathered bristle tuft may have various shapes, such as a prism shape, a truncated cone shape, and a cone shape, and if a prism shape is used, a plane perpendicular to the axis of the collecting portion 2 is used as a cross section, and the cross section of the collecting portion 2 is obtained as a rectangle, and the length of the long side of the rectangle is the width, and the length of the short side is the thickness. In other shapes, the thickness can be analogically estimated according to the width being larger than the thickness.
The shape and structure of the hand-held part 1 are not limited, and the hand-held part 1 has the function of being convenient for an operator to hold the gingival crevicular fluid collection brush when carrying out gingival crevicular fluid collection. The type of bristles used by the collection unit 2 can be adjusted as needed, as long as the collection effect can be ensured.
The multiple bristles of the collecting part 2 are gathered to form a structure with one large end and one small end, and a micro-tube cavity is formed between the bristles, so that the collecting part has strong capillary force and can rapidly absorb liquid. In addition, the brush hair in the collection part 2 is soft and does not damage the gum, and meanwhile, the fiber inside of the brush hair is compact, so that the recovery rate of biomolecules is high, the subsequent detection of the biomolecule content in gingival crevicular fluid is facilitated, and the accurate diagnosis of periodontal health condition is facilitated. In order to make the collection portion 2 have a large end and a small end, the bristles themselves may have a large end and a small end, or the bristles may have the same diameter in the axial direction, but after the collection portion is made, the bristles are formed into bristle tufts having a large end and a small end.
Example two
On the basis of the first embodiment, the structural parameters of the collecting part 2 are optimized, so that the width of the small end of the collecting part 2 is 0.5-1.5mm, the width of the large end of the collecting part 2 is 1.5-2.5mm, and meanwhile, the collecting part 2 comprises 20-60 bristles made of soft hair fibers.
The liquid absorption performance of the gingival crevicular fluid collection brush is tested:
adding ultrapure water into a centrifuge tube, and weighing the total mass. Then, ultrapure water in the centrifuge tube was sucked up by using a gingival crevicular fluid collection brush, and the mass of the centrifuge tube was weighed again at 15s, 30s, 45s, and 60s of suction time, respectively. The mass difference was calculated and based on the mass to volume relationship of water (1 g=1 mL), the liquid volumes of 15s, 30s, 45s, 60s of gingival crevicular fluid collection brush were obtained as shown in table 1.
Table 1 gingival crevicular fluid collection brush imbibition volume table
Imbibition time/s 15s 30s 45s 60s
Liquid suction volume/. Mu.L 4.71±0.66 5.40±0.57 6.08±0.74 6.66±0.84
As shown in Table 1, the liquid suction amount of the collecting brush in 15 seconds can reach 4.71 mu L, and the clinical requirement (< 2 mu L) can be met, so that the gingival crevicular fluid collecting brush is expected to reduce the collecting time to 15 seconds, and the discomfort of a patient is greatly reduced.
Example III
The gingival crevicular fluid collection brush further optimizes the structural parameters of the collection portion 2 on the basis of the first embodiment, so that the width of the small end of the collection portion 2 is 1.5mm (see position B in fig. 1), the width of the large end is 2.0mm (see position a in fig. 1), the thickness of the large end is 0.75-0.77mm, and meanwhile, the collection portion 2 comprises 40 bristles made of soft hair fibers.
Test the structure of the collection brush in example three:
1. effect of bristle count on liquid absorption properties:
collecting brushes with 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 bristles are respectively used as a collecting part 2, ultra-pure water is added into a centrifuge tube, the total mass is weighed, then ultra-pure water in the centrifuge tube is sucked by using a gingival crevicular fluid collecting brush, and the mass of the centrifuge tube is weighed again when 15s, 30s, 45s and 60s are sucked respectively. The mass difference was calculated and based on the mass to volume relationship of water (1 g=1 mL), the liquid volumes of 15s, 30s, 45s, 60s of gingival crevicular fluid collection brush were obtained as shown in table 2.
Table 2 liquid suction volume table for collecting gingival crevicular fluid with different bristle numbers
It can be seen from table 2 that the number of bristles and the volume of liquid absorbed at the same liquid absorbing time are not simply monotonically related, and a turn occurs in the middle. In addition, in the case where other parameters are the same, the liquid suction volume of 60 bristles is the largest in the same liquid suction time.
2. Since the gingival crevicular fluid collection brush of the present invention is used clinically, the thickness of the collection portion 2 including the different number of bristles is measured with reference to the thickness of the periodontal probe, which is generally less than 1mm, and the measurement results are shown in table 3:
TABLE 3 gingival crevicular fluid collection brush collection portion large end thickness measuring meter with different bristle counts
The "coefficient of variation" in table 3 refers to the difference in the measured values in the group of the plurality of collection brush measurements, which are obtained by performing the plurality of collection brush measurements, and the same number of bristles, when the "thickness measured value" is measured. The thickness measurement value is obtained by measuring the large end of the acquisition brush by using a vernier caliper.
3. Effect of bristle count on liquid absorption Rate
Table 4 gingival crevicular fluid collection brush liquid suction speed meter with different bristle numbers
As can be seen from Table 4, the liquid suction rate was faster at 60 bristles, and the liquid suction volume was also maximized at 60 bristles in combination with the previous study. However, the collecting brush should be too thick in practical application, considering the practical applicability of clinical application. Therefore, the invention combines the liquid absorption performance and the large end thickness of the collecting part, and takes the structural parameters in the third embodiment as the optimal parameter combination.
Example IV
Aiming at the sampling brush structure, the invention also provides a preparation method of the gingival crevicular fluid collection brush, which comprises the following specific steps:
s1, arranging a plurality of bristles made of soft wool fibers, so that the lengths of all the bristles are equal and the two ends of the bristles are aligned.

S2, when preparing the brush hair, in order to ensure the preparation quality of the collecting brush, the preparation of the collecting brush is completed by means of the preparation mold 5. As shown in fig. 2, as a preferred embodiment, the preparation mold 5 has a rectangular plate structure, and the upper surface of the preparation mold 5 is provided with a pressing plate groove 3 and a collecting part groove 4, wherein the pressing plate groove 3 is used for accommodating the pressing plate in the subsequent step, and the collecting part groove 4 is used for accommodating the bristles in the subsequent step. In the fourth embodiment, the number of the grooves is specifically 4, and each collecting portion groove 4 is trapezoidal and is used for accommodating the collecting portion 2. The shape and the size of the collecting part groove 4 are matched with the collecting part 2 to be prepared. The manufacture of the preparation mould 5 and the pressing plate can be completed by using a laser cutting machine, and the shape and the size of the pressing plate are matched with those of the pressing plate groove 3.
The plurality of bristles are placed in the collecting part groove 4, so that two ends of all the bristles respectively contact the side wall of the collecting part groove.
S3, placing the pressing plate in the pressing plate groove 3, so that all bristles are kept in the collecting part groove 4, and the bristles are prevented from falling out.
S4, mixing two parts of Devcon epoxy resin structural adhesive in equal proportion, coating the uniformly stirred epoxy resin structural adhesive on the large ends of the bristles, waiting for solidification, fixing the large ends of the plurality of bristles, and fixing the plurality of bristles through the large ends to form a whole to finish the manufacture of the acquisition part 2.
S5, connecting the collecting part 2 with the handheld part 1 to finish the preparation of the whole gingival crevicular fluid sampling brush.
After the gingival crevicular fluid sampling brush is prepared by adopting the method, the parameters of the obtained product are verified. The front photographs of the straight ruler and 8 gingival crevicular fluid collection brushes were taken at a fixed distance, the photographs were processed using ImageJ software, the widths of the small and large ends of the collection brushes were measured with the length of 1cm in the straight ruler as a standard, and the measurements were repeated 3 times for each and averaged, as shown in table 5.
