Description

Regenerative Cell Extraction System {SYSTEM FOR EXTRACTING REGENERATIVE CELLS}

The present invention relates to a regenerative cell extraction system, in particular by the automated program in the process of collecting the adipose tissue and separation of the regenerative cells from the adipose tissue, each step, pure adipose tissue, pure mature fat cells The present invention relates to a regenerative cell extraction system capable of selectively obtaining oil and fat-derived stem cells, respectively, and easily controlling the amount of regenerative cells harvested.

Stem cells are defined as cells that possess clonogenic and self-renewing ability that can differentiate into multiple cell lines under certain conditions. Embryonic stem cells are derived from mammalian embryos at the blastocyst stage and possess the ability to differentiate into almost all cells present in the body, while adult stem cells are stem cells that are present in trace amounts in differentiated tissue after birth. It is a cell with the capacity of a cell. Adult stem cells offer practical advantages over embryonic stem cells. Unlike embryonic stem cells, adult stem cells can be extracted from the patient itself without causing ethical problems. They are abundant in supply and inherent in various tissues of the human body. The most available sources of adult stem cells are bone marrow, peripheral blood, umbilical cord / umbilical cord blood and adipose tissue, as confirmed in recent studies. These cells can maintain, yield and replace the final differentiated cells in their own specific tissues as a result of tissue damage due to physiological cell turnover or wounds.

This ability, called cell plasticity, has led to the development of therapeutic applications aimed at regenerating defective tissues for the purpose of restoring the physiology and function of diseased organs. Adult stem cells can not only produce hematopoietic cells, as known from decades ago, but can also produce blood vessels, muscles, bones, cartilage, skin, nerves, and the like, as recently discovered. These cells are known as mesenchymal stem cells. In addition, platelets made from platelet concentrates can be used to accelerate wound healing and, consequently, play a role in regenerative medicine that aids in the reconstitution of tissues such as bone, skin or other tissues.

Recently, adipose tissue has been found to be a source of stem cells, progenitor cells and matrix material suitable for therapeutic applications. Adipose tissue is also a rich source of vascular endothelial cells, which can play a role in tissue regeneration and tissue engineering by promoting growth of renal blood vessels and stimulating stem and progenitor cell growth.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION In order to fully understand the present invention, the operational advantages of the present invention, and the objects achieved by the practice of the present invention, reference should be made to the accompanying drawings which illustrate preferred embodiments of the present invention and the contents described in the drawings.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Like reference numerals in the drawings denote like elements.

1 is a conceptual diagram illustrating a regenerative cell extraction system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, the regenerated cell extraction system 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a first unit 100, a second unit 200, and a transfer unit 700.

The first unit 100 collects the tissue by vacuum suction, separates blood contaminants from the tissues collected by stirring and centrifugation, and separates cells from the tissues from which the blood contaminants are separated and suspended in a liquid. To drain the cells.

The second unit 200 receives the cells suspended in the liquid from the first unit 100, separates the regenerated cells by centrifugation, and has a smaller capacity than the first unit 100.

That is, the first unit 100 has a larger capacity than the second unit 200. When processing a small amount of fat (for example, less than about 100 cc) of fat such as facial molding, the second unit 200 alone can extract the necessary stem cells from the fat. However, the first unit 100 is required for the treatment of a large amount of fat that is difficult for the second unit 200 to process alone. For example, when processing about 1 liter of tissue, the tissue is concentrated in small amounts by the first unit 100 and then delivered to the second unit 200 to extract stem cells.

That is, the first unit 100 concentrates the cells in a large amount of fat cells and transmits them to the second unit 200.

The transfer part 700 is connected between the first unit 100 and the second unit 200, injects the washing water into the first unit 100 and the second unit 200, and supplies the first unit 100 and the first unit 100. The extract from the second unit 200 is transferred to the corresponding bags B1 and B2-Bn, and the cells suspended in the liquid separated from the first unit 100 are introduced into the second unit 200. Or transport tissue and cell contaminants. Here, the tissue is adipose tissue, and the regenerative cells are adipose derived stem cells.

As described in the prior art, many regenerative cell extractors have been developed for collecting cells from adipose tissue, but these devices do not optimally accommodate aspiration devices for the collection of adipose tissue, or in the collection of adipose tissue. Organizational processing is not fully automated and there is no complete containment system. In addition, the system in the process of concentrating the desired cells is distinguished from the present invention.

The regenerated cell extraction system 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention disclosed in FIG. 1 solves the above problems. That is, complete automation controlled by the program from the collection of adipose tissue to the extraction of regenerated cells is possible, and the adipose tissue is moved and separated in a sealed state, and in each stage of the separation of adipose tissue, the washed fat is completed. Tissue, pure mature fat cells, oil (derived fat cells) and adipose derived stem cells can be selectively obtained respectively.

That is, the regenerative cell extraction system 10 may perform the operations of extraction of fat-derived stem cells, recovery of pure adipose tissue from which blood-derived contaminants have been removed, and extraction of pure mature fat cells and oil (fat cell-derived). The unit 100 may have a larger capacity than the second unit 200, and the adipose tissue may be directly collected from the human body by vacuum suction. This can be done by directly connecting the liposuction unit to the first unit 100.

Therefore, the existing device is less risk of contamination and simple work process compared to once the tissue collected from the human body in a separate bag and then transferred to the regenerated cell extraction device.

The transfer part 700 between the first unit 100 and the second unit 200 is connected to the first unit 100 and the second unit 200 by a pump and a valve, and the first unit 100 and the second unit 200 are connected to each other. Into the unit 200, necessary materials such as washing water and enzymes are introduced, and the cells suspended in the liquid from which blood contaminants are removed from the first unit 100 are extracted to separate bags B1 and B2-Bn. Stored in or transferred to the second unit 200, the liquid containing fat-derived stem cells, the fat-derived stem cells are separated from the second unit 200 to separate bags (B1, B2-Bn) Save it.

When the transfer part 700 is configured using a pump and a valve, a multiway valve may be used as the valve. The multi-way valve has a flat, round disc shape, and a plurality of passages are formed along the circumferential side of the disc, and a rotating body for selecting one of the plurality of passages is formed at the center. The passages may be connected to the corresponding plurality of bags B1 and B2-Bn, respectively, and the material is moved and stored in the bag connected to the selected passage through the rotating body. The upper surface of the rotating body is formed with a connection hole connected to the rotating body of another multi-way valve.

The transfer part 700 may include a first multiway valve (not shown) connected to the plurality of bags B1 and B2-Bn, and a second multiway valve connected to the first unit 100 and the second unit 200. (Not shown), and a pump (not shown) connecting the first multi-way valve and the second multi-way valve. The second multi-way valve is connected to the central tube 160 of the first unit 100 and the input tube 270 of the second unit 200.

The first multiway valve may use a passage having as many as the bags B1 and B2-Bn, and the number of passages of the second multiway valve may be equal to or less than the number of passages of the first multiway valve. have. The pump is disposed between the first multiway valve and the second multiway valve to allow material to move between the first multiway valve and the second multiway valve. As a pump a peristertic pump can be used.

In addition, the transfer unit 700 includes a plurality of transfer pipes (not shown) and solenoid valves (not shown) connected to the plurality of bags B1 and B2-Bn, respectively, instead of the first and second multi-way valves. Solenoid valves may be configured to control the delivery pipe connected to the pump (not shown). That is, the plurality of bags B1 and B2-Bn may be connected to the first unit 100 or the second unit 200 through the transfer tube, and the first unit 100 may be opened and closed by the solenoid valve. The substance discharged from) can be stored in the connected bags B1, B2-Bn.

Since the structure and operation of the transfer unit 700 can be understood by those skilled in the art, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

2A is a cross-sectional view illustrating the structure of the first unit.

Referring to FIG. 2 (a), the first unit 100 includes a first chamber 110 and a central tube 160.

The first chamber 110 is a part that rotates to remove blood contaminants and separate cells by receiving tissue, and has a lower tapered cylinder.

The first chamber 110 is decomposed using aspiration of adipose tissue, removal of blood-derived contaminants, dehydration (separation) of pure adipose tissue, and enzymes (usually using collagenase but other enzymes may be used alone or in combination). The operation is performed.

In more detail, the first chamber 110 is formed in the lower body of the cylindrical upper body portion 120, the upper body portion 120 and the intermediate body portion 130 which is inclined toward the center toward the lower portion and The lower body portion 140 is integrally formed on the middle body portion 130 and extends downwardly with the same inner diameter while smaller than the inner diameter of the upper body portion 120, and integrally formed on the upper surface of the upper body portion 120. It is formed with a cover portion 150 to cover the upper surface. The shape of the bottom surface of the lower body portion 140 may vary, but preferably has a structure in which the bottom surface slightly protrudes in a U shape as shown in FIG. 2.

The size of the first chamber 110 is about 120mm in diameter, about 170mm in height, larger than the second chamber 210 of the second unit 200, and the size is adjusted according to the capacity of the adipose tissue to be treated. Can be.

That is, when the capacity is less than 1,000cc, the height of the first chamber 110 may be about 50mm, about 1,000-2,000cc, about 150mm, and about 2,000-3,000cc, about 250mm. However, this is only an example, and the size may be variously determined.

The central tube 160 is inserted to a position spaced a predetermined distance from the bottom surface of the lower body tube 140 through the guide hole 151 formed in the center of the cover portion 150. Preferably, the position where the lower end of the central tube 160 is spaced apart from the bottom surface of the lower body portion 140 is between 0.1mm ~ 3mm from the bottom surface.

The tissue is introduced into the first chamber 110 through the upper portion of the central tube 160, and the cells are discharged from the first chamber 110. There is a stopper at the top of the central tube 160, the stopper is of the same structure as seen in the safety syringe (luer lok structure) is connected directly to the liposuction vacuum is applied to the negative pressure tube 190 to be described later The fat sucked by the negative pressure can directly enter the first chamber 110, and is sealed until it is mounted on the fat cell separator after the suction of fat.

Even when the adipose tissue is not directly sucked into the first chamber 110 but is transported in another transport bag, a transport bag is connected to the top of the central pipe 160 and a separate vacuum pump (mostly connected to the sound pressure pipe 190). Adipose tissue may be transferred to the first chamber 100 by the negative pressure induced by the liposuction device, or may be transferred into the first chamber 100 using a pump embedded in the regenerative cell extraction apparatus of the present invention. .

The first chamber 110 surrounds the central tube 160 and is inserted into the guide hole 151, is formed integrally with the central tube 160, and has a negative pressure tube 190 for making the first chamber 110 in a vacuum sound pressure state. Is formed, and the first chamber 110 rotates independently of the central tube 160 and the negative pressure tube 190 between the wall surface 153 and the negative pressure tube 190 forming the guide hole 151 to maintain hermeticity. A retainer 180 is mounted.

The retainer is an element that functions to assist the rotation, such as a bearing, but seals the air through, and it is natural that an element that performs the same function can be used in addition to the retainer.

A bearing (not shown) for smoothly rotating the first chamber 110 may be further installed between the wall surface 153 and the sound pressure pipe 190 forming the guide hole 151, together with a retainer. have. In addition, a filter (not shown) capable of smoothing the treatment of fat cells by filtering foreign substances present in the tissue introduced through the central tube, that is, other than fatty tissue, for example, collagen, may be provided. 160 may be mounted inside the lower body 140 of the lower portion.

The negative pressure unit 190 is equipped with a filter 191 for preventing the back flow of contaminated air. Negative pressure unit 190 is a negative pressure for adipose tissue collection in the operating room, that is, the portion that can be connected to the vacuum inhaler, so the stopper and the stopper portion of the negative pressure unit 190 is preferably formed in the form of a safety syringe Do. The type of filter 191 may vary, and may be a 0.22 um air filter to prevent backflow of contaminated air in a vacuum inhaler.

At least one first wing 170 is formed in the direction of the central tube 160 on the inner wall of the intermediate body 130 of the first chamber 110 to smoothly stir the collected tissue. Preferably, four first wings 170 are mounted at a 90-degree angle inside the first chamber 110 with a thickness of about 1-2 mm. The first wing unit 170 allows the adipose tissue and the washing water to mix well when the first chamber 110 repeats rotation and stop.

 In addition, the central tube 160 may include at least one auxiliary wing 175 protruding outward from a portion inserted into the first chamber 110. The auxiliary wing 175 also allows the first chamber 110 to mix well with the adipose tissue and the wash water when the rotation and stop are repeated.

The first unit 100 is mounted on a jig (not shown) to rotate while maintaining a constant speed and temperature. The jig can adjust the temperature and the rotational speed of the first unit 100, and its structure and operation can be understood by those skilled in the art, so a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

In addition, the jig in which the first unit 100 is mounted may allow the first unit 100 to perform only a function of stirring using vibration, not rotation, using an eccentric motor.

The operation of the first unit 100 will be described below.

First, fat tissue is absorbed from the human body.

Remove the cap of the upper portion of the central tube 160 and connects the line with the liposuction needle of the liposuction device to the upper portion of the central tube 160. Since the liposuction needle is used for general purposes, the upper shape of the central tube 160 can be easily connected to the liposuction machine so that the liposuction needle can be easily connected to the upper line of the liposuction needle and the central tube 160.

Open the lid of the upper portion of the negative pressure unit 190 also connects the vacuum inhaler. Then, a vacuum inhaler is operated to collect fat tissue directly from the body. The collected adipose tissue contains blood and the like. Compared to the conventional regenerative cell extraction system, which collects the adipose tissue from the body and stores it separately, and then puts it back into the regenerative cell extraction system, the regenerative cell extraction system 10 of the present invention is a liposuction apparatus and a vacuum inhaler. By connecting to the first unit 100, the adipose tissue can be directly collected from the body and accommodated in the first chamber 110. Therefore, contamination or infection of fatty tissue, storage problems, etc. can be solved at once.

After collecting the adipose tissue, remove the connection pipe between the needle and the vacuum inhaler. At this time, the plug of the vacuum inhaler connection side is left open for a while without blocking. That is, by first removing the connection to the vacuum suction side, the inside of the first chamber 110 is restored to atmospheric pressure, and then, by removing the portion where the collecting needle of the central tube 160 is connected, the contaminated air is prevented from entering the central tube 160. .

The negative pressure pipe 190 connected to the vacuum inhaler has a filter 191 so that bacterial contamination by external air may not occur even if the cap is opened.

The fat-derived stem cell kit (kit) of the transfer unit 700 is connected to an upper portion of the central tube 160 to which the adipose tissue collecting needle is connected. Like the cord blood treatment kit, this kit has several bags (B1, B2 ~ Bn) connected to each bag, and each bag is equipped with a solenoid valve, which normally blocks the transfer tube connected to the solenoid valve. Enzyme (collagenase), the bag for storing the adipose tissue from which blood is removed, the bag to collect the liquid discarded after processing, the bag connected to the second unit 200 is attached, and can be configured in various ways depending on the application . In addition, as described above, instead of consisting of a solenoid valve and a transfer pipe and a pump, a kit configured using a multiway valve and a pump may be connected to the transfer unit 700. In this case, the solenoid valve in front of the bags is necessary. no.

Second, it removes blood contaminants (pure fatty tissue separation).

The first unit 100 is mounted on a jig capable of rotation and temperature control having an inner diameter equal to the outer diameter of the first unit 100. Of course, the operation to absorb the fat tissue while mounting from the beginning may be performed.

The first unit 100 and the second unit 200 may be mounted to the jig to rotate while maintaining a constant temperature. The jig (not shown) is capable of adjusting the temperature and rotational speed of the first unit 100 and the second unit 200 mounted.

The first unit 100 is left as it is for about 1 minute to separate the fat tissue and water from the absorbed fat tissue. Then, the adipose tissue is positioned above the water in the first chamber 110. After connecting the pump of the transfer unit 700 to the tube of the kit, the pump is operated to remove the water contaminated with the blood submerged in the lower portion of the first chamber 110 through the central tube 160 to remove. At this time, the sensor is mounted on the connection pipe between the pump and the bag containing the water contaminated with blood and automatically stops the pump when all the water including blood passes. Unlike the adipose tissue, the color of the water containing the blood is reddish due to the blood or is very dark compared to the adipose tissue. Therefore, the sensor senses the color (or brightness or density or permeability) of the substance passing through the tube. It is possible to control the operation of the pump by distinguishing between and other substances.

Alternatively, since the specific gravity (weight) of the substance containing blood is different from the specific gravity (weight) of the fat tissue, the operation of the pump may be controlled by sensing the difference in specific gravity. Since the operation of such a sensor can be understood by those skilled in the art, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The washing water (saline) bag is opened and a similar amount of washing water is added to the fat tissue remaining in the first chamber 110 of the first unit 100 by the operation of the pump. According to the amount of adipose tissue collected, the amount of washing water introduced by the program may be set in advance. Then, the first chamber 110 is rotated. The speed or number of revolutions can also be set in advance by the amount of adipose tissue collected. For example, it can be adjusted by repeating 10 seconds, 10 seconds stop 5 times, etc. within about 300 revolutions per minute.

In this way, the saline solution is added to wash the adipose tissue, and the washed water portion is removed again, and the saline solution is added again to repeat the operation 3-5 times. Finally remove the saline solution. Only as much fat tissue as necessary to separate adipose derived stem cells is left in the first chamber 110 and the remaining washed fat tissue is transferred to a bag for storing pure fat using a pump. That is, the regenerative cell extraction system 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention may separate only the pure adipose tissue remaining after washing as needed.

Third, the cells are separated using enzymes.

A similar amount of enzyme (0.1% collagenase is used as the remaining fat cells remaining in the first chamber 110. However, one skilled in the art will understand that other enzymes may be used and the concentration may vary.) The pump is introduced into the first chamber 110 through the central tube 160. Also in this case, since the amount is estimated in advance, the amount of enzyme can be initially set in the program.

After the enzyme addition, the rotation and stop of the first chamber 110 are repeated according to the program. At this time, by applying heat to the outside of the first chamber 110 to maintain a temperature of about 37 degrees. This is done by the heat transferred from the jig to activate the enzyme.

If the rotation and stop are repeated for a certain time (for example, about 30 minutes), mature fat cells and fat-derived cells are decomposed by enzymes in the first chamber 110, and the rotation is stopped for about 3-5 minutes. Stopping separates the sap layer (lower layer), which contains mature fat cells (upper layer) and fat-derived cells. Then, the fluid layer containing the adipose derived cells separated from the collagenase treatment is moved to the second chamber 210 of the second unit 200 using a pump. If the mature fat cells and the liquid fats (oils) generated when the mature fat cells are collected or processed are needed, the enzyme (collagenase) is added to the first chamber 110 using the washing method. After washing with water five times, transfer to a mature fat cell storage bag using a pump. This process is also initially possible by program settings and can be controlled by the sensor.

As such, the first unit 100 may be directly harvested adipose tissue, extraction of pure adipose tissue, extraction of mature fat cells using enzymes and separation of cells to separate stem cells, this operation is Conditions are set in advance by the program so that the whole or only necessary processes can be carried out separately.

FIG. 2B is a view showing another structure of the first unit of FIG.

As shown in FIG. 2 (b), the negative pressure unit 190 may be directly mounted in a state coupled to the cover unit 150. In addition, the negative pressure unit 190 may be equipped with a filter 191 for preventing the back flow of contaminated air.

3 is a cross-sectional view illustrating the structure of the second unit.

4 is a plan view illustrating a structure of the lower plate part of FIG. 3.

3 and 4, the second unit 200 includes a second chamber 210, a lower plate portion 264, an input pipe 270, a first discharge pipe 275, and a second discharge pipe 280. do.

The second chamber 210 has a constant diameter and extends vertically downward in the inlet portion 220, and the inner diameter increases from the lower portion of the inlet portion 220 toward the lower portion of the cell separator 225 having the maximum inner diameter again. The upper body portion 230 has a cylindrical shape, the inner diameter of which decreases toward the lower portion, and is formed integrally with the lower portion of the upper body portion 230 and has a lower inner portion 240 extending downward with a constant inner diameter. The bottom surface of the lower body portion 240 may be flat or have a structure in which the bottom surface protrudes in a U shape as shown in FIG. 3.

The second chamber 210 is formed to be inclined toward the center from the cell separation unit 225 of the upper body portion 230 toward the bottom, which is the outer side of the second chamber 210 when the second chamber 210 is rotated (wall side). The centrifugal force acts largely), so that the fat-derived stem cells separated during the inflow and separation of the liquid containing the fat-derived stem cells can be gathered to the cell separation unit 225.

In addition, when a liquid containing fat-derived stem cells is continuously introduced from the first unit 100, separation of the fat-derived stem cells starts from a wall portion that is far from the inlet, which is the lower end of the input tube 270. Therefore, the liquid solution in which the fat-derived stem cells have been removed is to prevent the cells from easily coming out together when removed to the upper outlet.

The lower plate portion 264 is installed so as to correspond to the inner surface of the upper plate portion 250 when the cell separation portion 225 is referred to as the upper plate portion 250 in a portion where the inner diameter increases from the lower portion of the lower portion of the inlet portion 220 to the lower portion. As a part, physiological buffers other than the regenerative cells existing inside the second chamber 210 are discharged along the passage 265 between the upper plate 250 and the lower plate 264.

The lower plate portion 264 is integrally connected with the upper end of the lower plate portion 264, and surrounds the cylindrical first inner inlet portion 261 and the first inner inlet portion 261 having the first inner diameter and are smaller than the first inner diameter. The second inner inlet part 263 having a large second inner diameter extends inside the inlet part 220.

The input tube 270 is inserted into the second chamber 210 through the first internal inlet part 261 in order to introduce the cells discharged from the first unit 100 into the second chamber 210.

The first discharge pipe 275 penetrates the inside of the input pipe 270 and is inserted into the second chamber 210 longer than the input pipe 270 and the bottom of the lower body part 240 of the second chamber 210. It becomes a passage for discharging the regenerated cells formed on the cotton.

Preferably, the input pipe 270 is inserted to the lower end of the upper body portion 230, the first discharge pipe 275 is inserted to the height of 0.1 ~ 2mm from the bottom surface of the lower body portion 240.

The upper portion of the first discharge pipe 275 has a shape in which a safety syringe can be mounted to discharge the recovered fat-derived stem cells to the outside, and is plugged with a stopper or connected to a kit for performing this process. Since the end of the first discharge pipe (275) is lowered to a height of 0.1 ~ 2mm from the bottom surface of the lower body portion 240, the fat-derived stem cells accumulated on the bottom surface of the lower body portion 240 is the first discharge pipe (275) It is discharged through the outside. An injection tube 270 is used to surround the first discharge pipe 275 and to transfer cells from the first unit 100 to the second unit 200.

The second discharge pipe 280 is inserted between the outer wall surface of the second inner inlet 263 and the inner wall surface of the inlet 220 to be discharged through the passage 265 between the upper plate 250 and the lower plate 264. The physiological buffer other than the regenerated cells is discharged to the outside.

The second chamber 210 rotates independently of the input pipe 270, the first discharge pipe 275, and the second discharge pipe 280 by retainers 281 and 283, and maintains hermeticity.

In the second unit 200, the process of washing the fat-derived stem cells contained in the sap containing the enzyme transferred from the first unit 100 and separating the fat-derived stem cells is performed.

Inlet pipe 270 has a first support wing 271 surrounding the outer wall surface of the first inner inlet portion 261 on the outside, the second discharge pipe 280 is a second surrounding the inlet portion 220 A support wing 285 is provided. In both the first and second support wings 271 and 285, the second chamber 210 rotates independently of the input pipe 270, the first discharge pipe 275, and the second discharge pipe 280. 281, 283 serves to assist the sealing to be possible.

That is, between the inner wall surface of the first support blade 271 and the second inner inlet portion 263, and between the outer wall surface of the inlet portion 220 and the second support blade 281, the second chamber 210 is formed. It is equipped with a retainer to rotate independently and maintain hermeticity.

The retainer is an element that functions to assist rotation, such as a bearing, and keeps air tight, and it is obvious that elements other than the retainer can perform the same function. Bearings for smoothing the rotation of the two chambers 210 may be mounted at the same time.

Like the first chamber 110, the second chamber 210 may stir the internal material when the second chamber 210 rotates on the inner wall surface from the cell separator 225 to the lower end of the upper body 230. At least one smoothing of the second wing 211 is formed in the direction of the input pipe 270. Preferably, similar to the first chamber 110, four second wings 211 may be arranged at intervals of 90 degrees, the outer of the inlet pipe 270 as in 175 of the first chamber 110 The second wing portion (not shown) may be mounted on the.

The lower plate portion 264 includes a first inner inlet portion 261, a second inner inlet portion 263, and a circular plate 260. The circular plate 260 is integrally formed at the lower ends of the first inner inlet part 261 and the second inner inlet part 263 to be unfolded in the shape of a hat with the same inclination as that of the upper plate part 250 and the upper plate part 250. Together form a passage 265.

At least one passage 265 between the upper plate 250 and the lower plate 264 is present, and the portion 410 of the circular plate 260 between the passage and the passage is bonded to the upper plate 250.

That is, as shown in Figure 4, the predetermined portion 410 of the circular plate 260 of the lower plate portion 264 is bonded to the upper plate portion 250. The portion 410 and the portion 410 adhered to the upper plate 250 are separated from the upper plate 250 to naturally form a passage 265. In the cross-sectional view of FIG. 3, the passage 265 is marked for easy understanding. As the second chamber 210 rotates, the passage 265 is connected to the cell separator 225, which is the outermost part of the second chamber 210 by the centrifugal force and the cells inside the second chamber 210 by the centrifugal force. At this time, since the stem cells are disposed closer to the wall surface of the cell separation unit 225, and the washing water is disposed farther from the wall surface of the cell separation unit 225 than the stem cells, and thus, the second discharge pipe 280 Applying a negative pressure or positive pressure in the second chamber 210, or both at the same time by extracting the washing water through the passage 265, only a few liquid and stem cells remain inside the second chamber (210) To be.

By adjusting the rotational speed of the second chamber 210 and the length of the circular plate 260, it is possible to collect the component blood according to the blood component layer formed therein by the centrifugal force of the second chamber 210, The amount or rate of physiological buffers other than regenerative cells may be discharged through the passage 265.

A sieve 213 that can filter out the rest of undecomposed tissue including collagen mass or collagen mass from the liquid cells introduced through the input tube 270 has a lower body portion 240 under the input tube 270. It can be installed inside. The filter net 213 is a mesh net having a gap of about 0.5-2 mm, which is completely digested when cells are introduced from the first unit 100 to the second unit 200 through the input tube 270. Collagen mass or part of the tissues (various substances not decomposed by the enzymes used in the first unit 100) are filtered out from the strainer 213.

In addition, when the second chamber 210 rotates, the regeneration cell collected in the cell separation unit 225 may be provided with a barrier 215 at the inlet of the passage 265 so that only the washing water may escape without passing through the passage 265. have. In addition, unlike the illustrated in FIG. 3, the barrier layer 215 may be disposed in a portion of the passage 265 between the circular plate 260 and the inner wall surface of the upper plate 250 unlike the structure of the lower plate 264. In this case, the barrier layer 215 may have a hole in the center as shown in FIG. 4, and a portion of the barrier layer 215 may be bonded to the inner wall surface of the upper plate part 250 as shown in part 410 of FIG. 4.

Hereinafter, the operation of the second unit 200 will be described.

First, to reduce the volume of the sap and to wash the enzyme contained in the sap (physiological buffer containing a variety of culture medium, etc.) containing the regenerated cells transferred from the first unit 100 (volume reduction to concentrate the fat-derived cells The process takes place.

Saline containing collagenase and cells from the first unit 100 is slowly filled in the second chamber 210 of the second unit 200 through the inlet tube 270. The second chamber 210 is initially stopped, and then rotates the second chamber 210 when a predetermined amount is filled in the second chamber 210. For example, when the fat cells mixed with collagenase fill half of the total volume of the second chamber 210, the second chamber 210 is rotated to about 150G. (In this case, the G value may be changed to 75G to 1,000G or more, and as the G value increases, the concentration time is shortened.) The start time of rotation of the second chamber 210 is constant in the amount of liquid transferred per rotation of the pump. Therefore, the amount transferred by time calculation can be calculated, and these conditions can be programmed to start the rotation automatically.

Like the first chamber 110, the second chamber 210 is also mounted on a jig (not shown) to rotate while maintaining a constant speed and temperature. In this way, the rotation time, the temperature, the rotational speed, etc. are set in advance by a program, and the first section 100 and the second unit 200 are controlled to automate the entire exaggeration from the collection of the adipose tissue to the separation of the adipose derived stem cells. can do.

Such programs and automations will be understood by those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail.

At the same time as the start of rotation of the second chamber 210, the physiological buffer containing cells from the first unit 100 is blocked for about 5 minutes to prevent loss of cells. At the same time, the inflow of the physiological buffer containing the cells transmitted from the first unit 100 and the regeneration of the regenerated cells due to the rotation of the second chamber 210 proceed simultaneously with the outflow of the separated physiological buffer. The regenerative cells contained in the physiological buffer may be immediately leaked before they can be separated, thereby greatly reducing the recovery rate of the regenerative cells. Therefore, after filling the second chamber 210 to a predetermined amount or more, the cells are completely rotated for about 5 minutes to completely separate the regenerated cells from the physiological buffer and then gradually inflow and outflow of the physiological buffer containing the cells from the first unit 100. Resume should be to prevent the loss of regenerated cells.

After about 5 minutes, the physiological buffer containing the collagenase and the cell components remaining in the first unit 100 is continuously transferred to the second chamber 210, and at the same time, the liquid component is continuously maintained through the second discharge pipe 280. Washing water) is removed from the second chamber 210. At the same time as the rotation removes the liquid component inside the second chamber 210, the adipose derived stem cells are collected in the cell separation unit 225 of the second chamber 210, and if the liquid component is continuously drawn out, slightly by centrifugal force Only the liquid remains in the second chamber 210. Even at this time of influx of physiological buffer and separation of fat-derived stem cells, coordination of rotational speed and inflow and outflow rates is very important to prevent the loss of regenerative cells.

As described above, the second chamber 210 is introduced from the first chamber 110 through the inlet tube 270 mixed with the enzyme and the saline solution, and the liquid component except the stem cells through the passage 265 by rotation. By discharging through the second discharge pipe 280 can be separated purely stem cells.

Secondly, the rotation of the second chamber 210 is stopped and the saline solution is added to the second chamber 210 again. Then, the rotation and stop operation of the second chamber 210 is repeated. For example, about 10 seconds of rotation, repeating 10 seconds stop 3-5 times. Thereafter, the saline solution is removed while rotating the second chamber 210 again. Repeat this washing process 3-5 times. After the last flushing process, the rotation of the second chamber 210 is stopped. When the rotation of the second chamber 210 is stopped, fat-derived stem cells gathered on the wall surface of the cell separation unit 225 ride on the inclined surface of the upper body part 230 to the bottom surface of the lower body part 240. It comes down.

Finally, the stopper at the top of the first discharge tube 275 is removed and a syringe is inserted to extract saline solution containing a desired amount or whole amount of adipose derived stem cells into the syringe. Since the end of the first discharge pipe 275 comes down to the bottom surface 0.1-2mm of the lower body portion 240, the fat-derived stem cells collected on the bottom surface of the lower body portion 240 can be easily extracted to the outside.

When the amount of adipose tissue collected from the body is not large, all processes are performed only with the second unit 200 without the first unit 100 to separate the fat-derived stem cells. That is, when the amount of adipose tissue is small, washing the adipose tissue in the second unit 200, the separation of mature fat cells, the separation of regenerated cells by the injection of enzyme, the cleaning and washing solution to increase the purity of adipose derived stem cells Volume reduction, the operation of the fat-derived stem cells may be performed only in the second unit (200).

6 (a) is a plan view of the selective discharge unit coupled to the lower plate of FIG.

6 (b) is a sectional side view of the selective discharge unit.

5 to 6, the lower plate part 264-1 according to another embodiment of the present invention may include a first internal inlet part 261, a second internal inlet part 263, and a first internal inlet part ( 261 and a circular plate 260 which is integrally formed at the lower end of the second inner inlet 263 and is unfolded in the shape of a hat with the same slope as that of the upper plate 250, and forms a passage 265 together with the upper plate 250. -1) and a hollow surrounding the outside of the second inner inlet portion 263 of the lower plate portion 264-1 and selectively connecting at least one or more passages among the passages 265-1 to the second discharge pipe 280. Is provided with a flat disc-shaped selective discharge part (600).

In more detail, the structure includes at least one passage 265-1 between the upper plate 250 and the lower plate 264-1, and the circular plate portion 510 between the passage and the passage includes the upper plate 250. Is bonded to.

When the circular plate 260-1 is separated in the radial direction, the weights of the separated half portions are equal to each other, the lengths of the passages formed in one half portion are different from each other, and are formed in the separated half portions. The passages facing each other have the same length.

That is, as shown in FIG. 5, the circular plate 260-1 has a structure in which passages 265-1 having different lengths from short to long are symmetrical to each other.

By varying the lengths of the passages 265-1, desired materials can be obtained at required positions when different materials are to be obtained in each layer generated as a result of centrifugation such as blood by the rotation of the second chamber 210. have.

In addition, the reason for having a symmetric structure is that vibration may occur in the rotating second chamber 210 if the center of gravity does not fit during centrifugation. In this case, even if not having a symmetrical structure, if the weights of the passages 265-1 having different lengths of the circular plate 260-1 are symmetrical with each other, the vibration does not occur even when the second chamber 210 is rotated. Can be. Adjusting the weight is a basic principle of the centrifugal separator, which will be understood by those skilled in the art, and thus detailed description thereof will be omitted.

6A and 6B, the upper surface 640 of the selective discharge part 600 includes a through hole 605 and a through hole 605 through which the second inner inlet part 263 penetrates in the center. An upper surface discharge hole 610 connected to the second discharge pipe 280 is formed. A portion of the inner wall surface 263-1 of the selective discharge part 600 forming the through hole 605 is upward and downward to easily contact the second internal inlet part 263, as shown in FIG. 6B. It extends by a certain length.

A side discharge hole 615 is formed at the side of the selective discharge part 600 and is connected to the selected passage 265-1, and the lower end 620 of the side is formed at the upper surface of the circular plate 260-1. ) Is combined.

As shown in Figure 6 (c), the lower end portion 620 of the selective discharge unit 600 is inserted into the coupling groove 520 of the circular plate 260-1 is closely coupled. The side discharge hole 615 of the selective discharge part 600 rotates to select the corresponding passage 265-1. Where the lower side 620 of the selective discharge unit 600 and the coupling groove 520 is in close contact with each other can be sealed using a silicon ring, etc., the lower side 620 of the selective discharge unit 600 is a coupling groove The passage may be selected by rotating in engagement with 520. The structure in which the selective discharge unit 600 is coupled to the coupling groove 520 and rotates will be understood by those skilled in the art, and thus detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The first unit 100 and the second unit 200 having such a structure are mounted on a rotating jig (not shown) to rotate, and the rotational speed may be set by a program in advance and automatically adjusted. The process of rotation or the extraction of adipose tissue and the separation of fat-derived stem cells and storage of the material into bags (B1 to Bn) can be automated by programs and software, which can be understood by those skilled in the software field. Detailed descriptions are omitted here.

7 is a plan view illustrating another structure of the lower plate part of FIG. 3.

8 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a state in which the lower plate part of FIG. 7 is mounted.

7 is a plan view and a side view of the lower plate portion 264-2 and the selective discharge unit 700 coupled to the lower plate portion 264-2.

7 and 8, another structure of the lower plate part 264-2 according to the embodiment of the present invention constitutes a passage unlike the structures of the lower plate parts 264 and 264-1 of FIGS. 4 and 5. Cylindrical blade 750 is provided separately.

In more detail, the lower plate portion 264-2 includes a first inner inlet portion 261 and a second inner inlet portion 263, a circular plate portion 761, and a selective discharge unit 700.

The circular plate portion 761 is integrally formed at the lower ends of the first inner inlet portion 261 and the second inner inlet portion 263, and has a circular plate 760 having the same slope as that of the upper plate portion 250. And a plurality of cylindrical wings 750 integrally formed at the end of the circular plate 760 and having a passage 265-2 formed therein.

The selective discharge part 700 surrounds the outside of the second inner inlet part 263 of the lower plate part 264-2, selects at least one or more cylindrical blades from the cylindrical blades 750, and selects a passage inside the selected cylindrical wing ( 265-2) to have a hollow flat disk shape that connects the second discharge pipe 280.

As shown in FIG. 8, the upper surfaces of the cylindrical wings 750 are adhered to the upper plate 250 and their lengths are different from each other, thereby distinguishing the blood component layers formed therein by the centrifugal force of the second chamber 210. Component blood can be collected.

That is, when the second chamber 210 is rotated, the substances included in the physiological buffer containing fat-derived cells inside by centrifugal force form layers according to their specific gravity. Therefore, substances in the blood component layer may be separated and discharged along the length of the cylindrical wings 750.

On the upper surface of the selective discharge unit 700, a through hole 705 through which the second inner inlet 263 penetrates in the center and an upper discharge hole 710 connected to the second discharge pipe 280 to both sides of the through hole 705. Is formed. (See the middle figure in Figure 7)

A side discharge hole 715 is formed at a side of the selective discharge part 700 and is connected to the selected passage, and a lower end 720 of the side is coupled to the coupling groove 722 formed at the upper surface of the circular plate 760. The part 700 selects the cylindrical blade 750 by rotating after being closely coupled to the coupling groove 722.

As shown in FIG. 7, the selective discharge part 700 has a flat disc shape having a through hole 705. The lower end portion 720 is inserted into the coupling groove 722 of the circular plate 760, and the coupling groove 722 is provided. By rotating in side) the side discharge hole 715 can select the passage. The coupling groove 722 is provided with a device such as a silicon ring so that the coupling of the lower portion 720 and the coupling groove 722 can be sealed.

As shown in FIG. 8, the cylindrical blade 750 of the lower plate portion 264-2 is bonded to the corresponding upper plate portion 250. The circular plate 760 of the lower plate portion 264-2 has a coupling groove 722 formed along the circumference of the circular plate 760 on which the cylindrical blades 750 are formed, and the selective discharge portion in the coupling groove 722. 700) are combined.

By varying the length of the cylindrical wing 750 can be stored separately from the necessary material from the blood component layer.

As shown in FIG. 7, the inner wall surface 263-2 of the selective discharge part 700 forming the through hole 705 has a predetermined length in the upper and lower portions so as to be easily contacted with the second inner inlet part 263. Is formed extending.

9 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a state in which the lower plate portion of another structure is mounted on the second chamber.

The lower plate portion includes a first inner inlet portion 261, a second inner inlet portion 263, and a circular plate portion 961. The circular plate portion 961 is integrally formed at the lower ends of the first internal inlet portion 261 and the second internal inlet portion 263, and has a circular plate 960 extending in the shape of a hat with the same slope as that of the upper plate portion 250. And one end is coupled to the end of the circular plate 960 and the inner wall surface of the second chamber 210, the passage (265-3) is formed on the inside and has a different weight to balance the cylindrical blade on the other end or It is provided with a plurality of cylindrical wings 950 is mounted with a weight (not shown) having the same weight.

The lower plate portion 264-3 of FIG. 9 has cylindrical wings 950 formed at the end of the circular plate 960 similarly to the lower plate portion 264-2 of FIG. 7, but the lower plate portion 264-2 of FIG. Although the cylindrical blades 750 are attached to the upper plate 250 and are formed of a plurality of different lengths, in another embodiment, only two cylindrical wings 950 of FIG. 9 may be present. The cylindrical wings 950 are made of an elastic material, and weights (not shown) mounted on each cylindrical wing may have different weights or the same weight to balance the cylindrical wings with each other. .

If there are two cylindrical wings, the weights mounted on the cylindrical wings should have the same weight.

The cylindrical wings 950 are stretched downward by a weight (not shown) as shown in FIG. 9 when the second chamber 210 is stopped, and then occurs when the second chamber 210 rotates. According to the centrifugal force, the cylindrical wings 950 unfold in the direction of the inner wall surface of the second chamber 210, and the component blood collection according to the blood component layer is possible.

Since the centrifugal force acts outside the second chamber 210, the cylindrical wings 950 are unfolded in the direction of the inner wall surface of the second chamber 210 according to the rotational speed of the second chamber 210. If the rotation speed is fast, the inner wall surface of the second chamber 210 is very close, and if the rotation speed is slow, the second chamber 210 will be far from the inner wall surface. In this manner, the cylindrical wings 950 may selectively discharge the material of the required layer from the blood component layer formed inside the second chamber 210.

Cylindrical wing 950 is connected to the end of the circular plate 960, and should also be fixed to the inner wall surface of the second chamber (210). Looking at the circled portion of Figure 9, the opposite side of the circular plate 960 connecting portion of the cylindrical blade 950 is connected to the inner wall surface of the second chamber 210, to ensure fixing, one side of the cylindrical blade 950 The end portion may have a structure that is fixed to the locking step 970 formed on the inner wall surface.

The cylindrical wing 950 may be fixed to the inner wall surface of the second chamber 210 may be various, and will be understood by those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail.

The transfer unit 700 may include a transfer filter (not shown) capable of filtering out foreign substances such as undigested collagen mass contained in the liquid cells transferred from the first unit 100 to the second unit 200. have. The feed filter may be a double filter. The double filter has a structure in which the size of the holes formed in the mesh network is small and the outside is surrounded by the size of the holes formed in the mesh network. Specifically, the double filter may have a structure in which a 0.5 mm to 2 mm filter and a 0.1 mm to 0.5 mm filter are sequentially mounted to the transfer part 700. In another embodiment, the transfer filter may be a single filter rather than a double filter.

 As such, by using a filter mounted on the transfer unit 700, various cells including stem cells may be separated from various tissues other than adipose derived stem cells.

As described above, optimal embodiments have been disclosed in the drawings and the specification.
