Description

Bipolar electrostatically atomized drug delivery method and device
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of electrostatic atomization, in particular to a device for transporting external medicine/antigen particles to a specific area in a human body based on a double-electrode electrostatic atomization principle.
Background
In the medical field, inhalation therapy has a long and rich history in the treatment of different respiratory diseases. Since human pathogens generally invade the human body from the mouth, nose, trachea and lungs, drugs act on the human body by nebulization to directly prevent local infection of the respiratory tract, are more advantageous than oral and injection administration, and can enter the circulation in the body efficiently and rapidly, and thus inhalation therapy based on drug nebulization has the unique advantages of smaller dosage, higher safety and effectiveness compared to other delivery systems. External drug delivery systems for specific drugs have long been a field of development accompanying medical research. The external drug delivery based on the particles can protect the drug from being degraded by enzymes, bypass a pulmonary clearance mechanism, slow down drug absorption, improve the deposition rate of the drug in a target area, and reduce side effects to the greatest extent so as to improve the efficiency of pulmonary drug delivery. Thus, microparticle-based drug delivery systems replace traditional drug delivery systems and become an innovative and promising new approach. However, studies have shown that particles greater than 5 μm in diameter preferentially accumulate in the upper respiratory tract (mouth, pharynx, larynx); when the particle diameter is in the range of 1-5 mu m, the maximum deposition corresponding to the size of the lower airway can be generated, so that the medicine can be better absorbed in the lung; when the particle diameter is smaller than 0.5 μm, the exhalation is made without deposition. Thus, controlling the size of drug particles is critical to depositing the particles in specific areas of the body.
Electrostatic atomization refers to a process in which accumulated charges are generated at an interface between liquid and ambient gas under the action of an electrostatic field, the liquid at the tail end of a meniscus is stretched under the action of an electric field force, the liquid is ejected from the top of the meniscus under the action of an electric shearing force, and the liquid is broken at the tail end of the jet, so that uniform micro-droplets are formed. The electrostatic atomization can effectively generate micro-nano particles, the movement track of fog drops and the particle size of the fog drops can be changed by adjusting experimental parameters, and even complex drug molecules and antigens can be compressed into single liquid drops. However, the particle flow sprayed by the traditional electrostatic atomization device has a certain amount of charges, and atomized particles cannot be efficiently conveyed to a target area under the influence of the electrostatic force in the electrode space, so that the treatment effect is reduced.
The invention combines the electrostatic spraying technology and the targeted drug delivery technology, develops a system which can control the size of atomized particles and simultaneously can neutralize drug particles to act on a specific targeted area in the body in a neutral manner, so as to achieve the aims of precise delivery, high-efficiency absorption, side effect reduction and the like, and provides a new thought and research and development reference for pulmonary targeted therapy and solubilization and targeted application of other indissolvable drugs.

5. Compared with the prior device design, the device has the advantages that a plurality of driving circuits and a plurality of independently driven electrostatic atomization system sources are not needed, and the device is more suitable for practical application.
