TECHNICAL FIELD The present disclosure relates to the technical field of re- search on respiratory tract invasion of pathogenic microorganisms, and in particular to a bioaerosol lung deposition experimental model system.
BACKGROUND ART Entry of pathogenic microorganisms into the trachea, bronchus and even lung of a human body in the form of bioaerosols under the action of respiration is the main route for the outbreak of vari- ous infectious diseases such as influenza and the like, therefore, the research on the characteristics of pathogenic microorganisms entering a respiratory system of the human body is an important means for the prevention and control of various respiratory dis- eases. Traditional animal models cannot fully conform to the human body characteristics, and research results are highly biased. There are significant potential risks in real human experiments, and the cost is relatively high. Therefore, the construction of an in vitro experimental model capable of simulating real human body characteristics to simulate the entry of bioaerosols into the res- piratory system of the human body has received attention, and var- ious in vitro models have been proposed and applied. However, the existing models can be all used for simulating physical aerosols such as atmospheric dust and the like, and are mostly local models of the bronchi, which cannot truly reflect deposition rule of the bioaerosols carrying pathogenic microorganisms in the respiratory system of the human body. None of the existing experimental models involve whole lung models, either local models of the trachea and principal bronchus or enlarged models of a group of alveoli, which have a certain of limitation in application.
SUMMARY An objective of the present disclosure is to provide a bio-
aerosol lung deposition experimental model system to solve the problems in the prior art, which can simulate deposition rule of bioaerosols in the trachea, bronchus, and lung of a respiratory system of a human body under various respiratory modes. To achieve the objective, the present disclosure provides the following solutions: a bioaerosol lung deposition experimental model system pro- vided by the present disclosure comprises a bicaerosol exposure experiment chamber, a bioaerosol generator, a lung model, a lung model seal chamber, a simulated respiratory pump, and a bioaerosol sampler, wherein the bicaerosol exposure experiment chamber is cy- lindrical and is made of a transparent plastic material; an open- ing is formed in the upper end of the bioaerosol exposure experi- ment chamber, and a bioaerosol generator is connected to the open- ing through a pipeline; the other end of the pipeline is connected with a diffuser, and the lower side of the diffuser is connected with a suction inlet bioaerosol sampler through a pipeline; the lung model seal chamber is mounted at the lower part in the bio- aerosol exposure experiment chamber, is connected with the simu- lated respiratory pump through a pipeline, and is connected with a differential pressure gauge; the lung model is placed in the lung model seal chamber, and comprises a left lung cavity and a right lung cavity; the left lung cavity and the right lung cavity are connected together through a trachea, the upper side of the tra- chea is connected with a lung model throat through a throat con- nector, the trachea is connected with the bronchi through bronchus connectors, and the bronchi are arranged in the left lung cavity and the right lung cavity respectively; the left lung cavity is connected with a left lung bioaerosol sampler through a pipeline, and the right lung cavity is connected with a right lung bioaero- sol sampler through a pipeline.
The bronchi are provided with the second-fourth generation bronchi, comprise a left part and a right part, and are made of a transparent hard PC material; the lung model is made of a trans- parent elastic silica gel material, the trachea is made of a transparent hard PC material; and the second-fourth generation bronchi.
The lung model is placed in the lung model seal chamber, a throat part is exposed to the external of the lung model seal chamber; the lung model seal chamber is an airtight cylinder made of a transparent PV material; the bioaerosol samplers are respec- tively connected with the bioaerosol exposure experiment chamber, the lung cavity, and the right lung cavity; and the simulated res- piratory pump is connected with the lung model seal chamber.
The diffuser is a uniform diffuser in which circular holes are uniformly distributed in a cylindrical shape of the bicaero- sols.
An efficient air purifier, a temperature sensor and a humidi- ty sensor are mounted at the side face of the bioaerosol exposure experiment chamber.
The lung model throat, the trachea and the bronchi are con- nected by adopting detachable connectors.
The lung model is of a flexible contractile structure.
The bioaerosol lung deposition experimental model system pro- vided by the present disclosure has the beneficial effects that: a fully transparent respiratory tract and lung experimental model is constructed by adopting real physiological size of a hu- man body, which can simulate the deposition of inhaled bicaerosols inside the respiratory tract and lung of the human body under var- ious respiratory modes; and compared with an existing animal ex- perimental model, the model is more in line with the real physio- logical size of the human body. Existing in vitro experimental models are usually used for simulating physical aerosols without simulating inhalation and humidification of particulate matters. The problem of in vitro simulation and research of the deposition of bioaerosols in the respiratory tract of the human body is solved by the system disclosed by the present disclosure, and re- alistic reproduction of the deposition and diffusion of the bio- aerosols in the respiratory system of the human body is achieved through the control on a temperature, humidity, and a respiratory mode.
A lung experimental model system capable of simulating bio- aerosol deposition is designed in the present disclosure, a bio- aerosol generator, a mixing exposure chamber, and a multi-stage biological sampler are used to achieve an experiment on the over- all deposition rate of a respiratory system, thus solving the problem that the existing models cannot perform experiments on the bicaerosol deposition.
By coating a liquid medium evenly in the respiratory system and then solidifying the same, the bioaerosols are cultivated into plaque visible to naked eyes after depositing in the system; the distribution rule and quantity of the bioaerosols deposited in the respiratory system may be visually known by observing the plague; the problem that the existing model can only measure the overall deposition quantity or the total deposition quantity at a certain part rather than obtaining the deposition distribution is solved for the first time, and the technology has a great novelty.
By adopting a detachable experimental model based on CT scan- ning of an adult respiratory system, the trachea and the secondary bronchi to the quaternary bronchi are designed to be detachable, the original bronchiole and alveoli are simplified into the lung model, the lung model is designed to be of a flexible contractile structure, the real respiration situation of a human body can be simulated, and bioaerosol deposition simulation of the full lung model is achieved.
