Description

Exhaled gas marker detection method and device based on suspended particles
Technical Field
The invention relates to the crossing field of aerosol detection and gas marker detection, in particular to an exhaled gas marker detection method and device based on aerosol.
Background
Screening and diagnosis of various diseases by disease biomarkers contained in exhaled breath has become a research hotspot in recent years. The exhaled breath of humans contains a number of volatile organic compounds (Volatile Organic Compounds, VOCs), which, according to the World Health Organization (WHO) definition, refer to various organic compounds having a boiling point of 50 ℃ to 260 ℃ at normal temperature. Generally, non-methane hydrocarbons (NMHCs), oxygen-containing organic compounds, halogenated hydrocarbons, nitrogen-containing organic compounds, sulfur-containing organic compounds, and the like are classified into several general classes. While the non-volatile molecules contained in exhaled air are predominantly present in the form of small droplets, which are believed to originate from the airway lining fluid of the lungs. When the temperature decreases, it condenses into an exhaled gas condensate (Exhaled Breath Condensate, EBC). Since many markers in EBC are derived directly from the lungs, it is easier to obtain information about the lungs relative to saliva. Currently, there have been studies to demonstrate that various lung cancer markers such as carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), neuron-specific enolase (NSE), squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCC) in blood can be detected in EBC, and that CEA concentration in EBC has a more diagnostic value for early lung cancer than in blood. Thus, detection of disease markers in exhaled breath has great potential in the noninvasive screening of early stage pulmonary disease.
Compared with other body fluid detection such as blood, urine, sweat and the like, the expiration detection is more and more important because of the advantages of safety, noninvasive property, convenience and the like. The traditional gas analysis method has the combination of gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, GC-MS), is a quantitative analysis method, has extremely low detection limit, but is expensive in equipment and time-consuming in detection. Another device commonly used in the biomedical detection field is the electronic nose (electronic nose), which uses a gas sensor in combination with a detection circuit to give a qualitative or semi-quantitative result. However, the gas sensor used in the traditional electronic nose generally has a broad-spectrum response, and a sensor array is required to be formed and matched with a specific algorithm to obtain a result, so that the detection limit is poor; in addition, the commonly used MOS (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor, MOSFET, abbreviated as MOS) sensor is sensitive to temperature, and needs to be preheated to hundreds of degrees centigrade when in use, so that detection can be performed, and the time is relatively long.

As one embodiment, as shown in fig. 1, the method for detecting an exhaled breath marker based on suspended particles of the present embodiment includes the following steps:

The surface-modified substance may be an antigen, an antibody, an enzyme, single-stranded DNA, single-stranded RNA, or an aptamer, depending on the type of the target marker in the gas to be measured. The particles are optical uniform medium spheres, the shapes of the particles are spherical, and the materials are silicon dioxide or gold.
Step two: and a cleaning device air path.
The device gas path cleaning step should be carried out before the microspheres are captured, and the cleaning gas is dry and clean nitrogen.
Step three: the particles in the vacuum chamber are captured and suspended by the optical trap.
Step four: vacuumizing to keep the suspended particles and the gas in the vacuum cavity in a heat balance state;
the thermal equilibrium state indicates that the vacuum degree is between 10 mbar and 50 mbar, and the resonance peak can be generated at the displacement power spectrum density of the particles, and meanwhile, the sufficient heat exchange between the particles and the surrounding air can be kept.
Step five: applying frequency omega to suspended particles by parallel electrodes dr Measuring the particle frequency omega by the simple harmonic electric field of (2) dr A shifted Power Spectral Density (PSD) response signal S xdr )。ω dr Is near the resonance frequency omega of the particles 0 Nearby selection, typically ω 0 ±10kHz。
In this embodiment, the parallel electrode structure is composed of two horizontally placed steel needles, and the pitch of the steel needles is about 3 mm. One electrode is connected with the simple harmonic signal after power amplification, and the other electrode is grounded. The simple harmonic electric field can be decomposed into three orthogonal axis components that respectively produce responses on the triaxial displacement power spectral density signals of the particles. Applying a magnitude U to the parallel electrodes dr At a frequency of omega dr A simple harmonic electric field is generated at the position of the particles.
Amplitude S of aerosol displacement PSD response xdr ) The measurement method of (2) is as follows:
the parallel electrodes are arranged in the x-axis direction (parallel to the polarization direction of the captured light), and the displacement PSD of the particles in the x-axis direction is driven by the electric field force and is at the frequency omega dr Where a response spike is generated (as shown in fig. 3). In order to avoid peak errors caused by insufficient FFT points, a phase-locked loop is used(PLL) demodulating ω dr The continuous response amplitude at the position is averaged to obtain the frequency omega of the particles in the x-axis direction dr Amplitude S of displacement PSD response at xdr ). It should be noted that S measured here xdr ) In effect, is the response resulting from the combined action of the electric field force and the thermal noise force.
Step six: closing the electric field to measure the damping rate gamma of the particles under the action of thermal noise force 0 At omega dr Amplitude S of PSD response at thdr )。
Amplitude S of particle displacement PSD response under thermal noise force thdr ) The measurement method of (2) is as follows: the voltage applied to the parallel electrodes is turned off, the electric field is eliminated, and the particles are acted by thermal noise force only, and the frequency omega in the x-axis direction can be measured by the method in the fifth step dr Amplitude S of displacement PSD response at thdr ) The damping rate Γ can be obtained by lorentz fitting 0
Step seven: measuring the charge N carried by the particles q
The amount of charge N carried by the particles q The measurement method of (2) is as follows: first, the frequency omega is applied through the electrode dr Forms a simple harmonic electric field by the driving voltage of the (E) and then demodulates omega by a phase-locked amplifier dr The response signal at the position can obtain a step-like amplitude signal (shown in fig. 4) through a plurality of discharging processes. The minimum difference between the steps is the amplitude response caused by a single charge, from which the number N of charges obtained by the particles can be measured q

Wherein q is e Is the meta-charge, τ is the sampling time, k B Is Boltzmann constant, T is temperature, R s The calculation formula is R, which is the ratio of the electric field force to the power spectral density response value under the action of thermal noise s =[S xdr )-S thdr )]/S thdr )。
Step nine: and (3) returning to normal pressure, introducing the gas to be tested into the area where the suspended particles are located, and returning the vacuum degree to the level in the third step.
The method for introducing the gas to be detected comprises the steps of firstly pumping the gas to be detected into a gas path through a gas pump, then using clean dry nitrogen as carrier gas after the gas to be detected is fully filled in a metering ring, pushing sample gas in the metering ring into the position of suspended particles, and completing detection.
Step ten: repeating the steps four to seven, and calculating to obtain the mass m of the suspended particles at the moment 1
Step eleven: by variation of mass m of suspended particles 1 -m 0 And calculating to obtain the content of the target substance to be detected.
The content of the target substance to be measured, and the actual measured value is the mass. Detection using a known concentration gradient of the marker sample gas can yield a mass-concentration standard curve for the marker detection, as shown in fig. 7.
In the gas marker detection method of the embodiment, the measurement error of the mass is within 5 percent, and the femtocells (10) -18 kg) other target substance content. And different kinds of gas markers, even microorganisms, can be detected according to the species of the modified substances on the surfaces of the microspheres.
As shown in fig. 2, the modification process for the surface functionalization of the microparticles is described. For example, the target antigen detection is taken as an example, the nano-particles with good uniformity can be obtained by purchasing commercial products, and the corresponding functional groups are modified on the surfaces of the particles to be connected with antibodies corresponding to the target antigen, so that the modification of the antibodies is completed. The microsphere modified with the antibody is captured and suspended by an optical trap, the gas containing the target antigen is introduced, and the target antigen is bound by the antibody to generate mass change so as to detect the content of the target antigen in the gas to be detected.
As shown in fig. 3, the displacement PSD response of the particles is determined by the electric field force and thermal noise. Omega due to thermal noise present at all times after application of the electric field dr Amplitude atS xdr ) In effect, is the combined response of the electric field force and the thermal noise force. After the electric field is turned off, only the PSD response of the thermal noise force is shown in the graph, at which ω dr Amplitude S of response at thdr ) And S is connected with xdr ) The difference gives a response value that is generated only by the action of the electric field force: s is S eldr ) = S xdr ) -S thdr )。
As shown in fig. 4, the measurement of the charge number of the particles is performed. Extraction of x-axis at frequency omega using PLL dr The response signal under the simple harmonic electric field, under the condition of unchanged electric field intensity, the signal amplitude is in direct proportion to the charge quantity carried by the particles. The air in the vacuum chamber is applied with a high voltage of about 1kV by the electrode, and plasma is generated during corona discharge. Electrons and positive ions in the plasma can be separated in opposite directions under the action of a high-voltage electric field and adsorbed on the surfaces of the particles, so that the charge quantity of the particles is changed. The removal of the high voltage signal stops the corona discharge and the number of charges on the particles is stably maintained. The discharge process is performed a plurality of times, and the charge amount carried by the particles can be adjusted. The upper half of FIG. 4 shows the demodulated signal amplitude, the smallest signal step difference being the single charge q e The charge amount of the particles varies with the discharge process, and the final charge amount of the particles is 7q e . The lower part of fig. 4 shows the demodulated phase change.
As shown in fig. 5, the displacement PSD response of the particles changes significantly before and after the introduction of the gas to be measured. This is because the surface of the particles incorporates additional substances that change the density, refractive index, and dielectric constant of the particles, resulting in a change in PSD.
As shown in fig. 6, the displacement PSD response of the particles to gas samples containing different concentrations of target markers is shown. The higher the target substance content, the more the PSD resonance peak shifts to the right. The left curves are more coincident because the mass change caused by the low concentration sample is insufficient to account for the apparent PSD shift.
As shown in FIG. 7, a standard curve of the mass of the suspended particles and the concentration of the target marker was obtained by the method of this example. The curve is calculated from the displacement PSD response described in fig. 6. The mass change caused by the low concentration sample is not enough to be detected, so that the slope of the standard curve corresponding to the target marker with higher concentration is larger, and the concentration detection Limit (LOD) of the marker can be calculated according to the standard curve. For the method of the present invention, the larger the molecular weight of the target marker, the lower the detection limit that can be achieved.
