Description

Lymph node and blood vessel up-conversion fluorescence imaging system
Technical field
This utility model relates to biological tissue's technical field of imaging, relates in particular to a kind of lymph node and blood vessel up-conversion fluorescence imaging system.
Background technology
Lymphsystem is an ingredient of vascular system, is made up of lymph pipelines at different levels, lymphatic organ and the lymphoid tissue that is dispersed in.Lymphsystem is not only participated in body fluid circulation and lipid metabolism, also has hemopoietic and immunologic function, is one of system of defense of wanting of body weight for humans, and is closely related with multiple diseases such as allergy, obesity, infection, diabetes and tumors.The lymph node imaging technique is the important channel of studying the lymphsystem function and in disease, acting on, and particularly in diagnosing tumor treatment and relapse and metastasis, especially comes into one's own.
Sentinel node (sentinel lymph node SLN) is meant in the primary tumo(u)r lymphatic drainage zone, lymph metastasis must through the first stop lymph node, it can be used as barrier and temporarily stops tumor cell in lymphoid further diffusion.In clinical operation treatment, the surgeon is among a small circle operation in advance often, attempts to find and first stop lymph node that the tumor resection lymphatic drainage arrives, checks it and is invaded state, and whether decision goes large-scale lymph cleaning art again.The SLN state is the important evidence whether diagnosing tumour spreads and determine therapeutic scheme; SLN biopsy feminine gender can be avoided the unnecessary expansion of performing the operation; The misery that can alleviate the patient with improve the quality of living, so the proposition of SLN biopsy notion is landmark progress in the surgical oncology field.Find that as early as possible sentinel node has or not transfer for the clinical stages of tumor and take the corresponding treatment measure and appropriate modus operandi all has significance.At present, SLN biopsy technology has become the standard art formula of melanoma and breast carcinoma, and is generalized to gradually in the diagnosis and treatment of gastric cancer, colorectal cancer, carcinoma of prostate, cervical cancer, carcinoma of endometrium, carcinoma vulvae and tumor of head and neck.
How accurately to find SLN, promptly SLN being positioned is the key technology of SLN biopsy.The lymph node imaging technique is the localized method of a kind of SLN, helps and finds SLN in the Rhizoma Atractylodis Macrocephalae as early as possible.At present clinical method commonly used has three kinds: (1) dyestuff tracer method just can make lymphatic vessel, lymph node painted in the bio-active dye number such as injection methylene blue minute in the art.This method is tradition comparatively, and is simple and easy to do, but needs the doctor that long learning curve is arranged.Blindly, consuming time many in the art when selecting skin incision, damage is big, and mostly dyestuff be micromolecule, just drains into next stage lymph node in several minutes in drain to the SLN, with the accuracy that influences the SLN biopsy.(2) isotopic tagging method, isotope 99mTc commonly used can pass through the strongest lymph node of located irradiation property to confirm SLN.This method advantage clear and definite location before Rhizoma Atractylodis Macrocephalae, it is with strong points perform the operation, damage for a short time, but because of existing radioactive pollution to endanger the generation of patient and medical personnel's health, and apparatus expensive, has limited its clinical practice.(3) dyestuff and radionuclide associating tracer method, this method are the methods of reliable localization SLN the most so far.
The continuous development of nanometer new material also provides more method for the lymph node imaging.People such as Kim utilize near-infrared II type fluorescence quantum that the axillary fossa SLN of mice and pig is positioned imaging.Through being expelled to the fluorescence that the intravital quantum dot of toy sends, can be at the external SLN that observes directly the axillary fossa place.This fluorescence signal is strong and stable, need not operation, so quantum dot animal fluorescence imaging technology is opened new situation for clinical SLN location.But quantum dot contains heavy metal cadmium (Cd), has very strong bio-toxicity; Even,, still have the Cd ion in vivo in the environment and ooze out like SiO2 through finishing parcel organic polymer or inorganic material; Build up toxigenicity, thereby limited the interior application prospect of body of quantum dot.
Recently, (Up-converting Phosphor, UCP) application in bio-imaging has caused the concern of more and more researcheres to up-conversion luminescent material.Traditional fluorescent material is luminous all to be met Stokes' law (Stokes ' law), promptly generally always greater than exciting light wavelength, luminous in other words photon energy is less than the energy of excitation photon to the emission wavelength of luminescent material usually.And up-conversion luminescence is a kind of at the infrared ray excited luminescence phenomenon that sends visible light down; Be characterized in that the photon energy that is absorbed is lower than the photon energy of being launched; Promptly convert long-wave radiation to shortwave radiation through multi-photon mechanism, this phenomenon is called the anti-Stokes effect.Adopt near-infrared as exciting light, organize lessly, luminous reflectance or the scattering generation background fluorescence that yet can not be excited can not take place, thereby greatly improve the sensitivity that forms images light absorption.The luminescence phenomenon of UCP is the pure physical process that results from inside configuration, and fluorescence has high stability, is difficult for cancellation.Simultaneously, compare UCP nanoparticle good biocompatibility, no cytotoxicity with quantum dot.Therefore; If up-conversion luminescent material is applied to the lymph node imaging technique; Develop and a kind of novel lymph node formation method and system; Be expected to solve some problems that existing method exists, for the surgical oncology operative treatment provides more effectively, more accurate, safer lymph node detects and positioning means.
Summary of the invention
