Description
MULTIFUNCTIONAL PLASMA SURGICAL SYSTEM
[0001] This application claims priority to Chinese patent application No. 202222377325 4, filed with the China National Intellectual Property Administration on September 07, 2022 and entitled " MULTIFUNCTIONAL PLASMA SURGICAL SYSTEM ", the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
[0002] The present application relates to the field of medical instruments, in particular to a multifunctional plasma surgical system.
[0003] A plasma is composed of ions, electrons and non-ionized neutral ions, presenting a neutral substance state as a whole. The plasma can be divided into a high temperature plasma and a low temperature plasma according to different plasma temperatures.
[0004] The low temperature plasma can excite Na", Cl, H* and OH" in saline water by a current of 100kHz to form plasma. At a lower temperature, not only efficient tissue cutting and ablation effects can be achieved, but also coagulation and hemostasis effects can be achieved. Since the plasma has the same cutting effect as a “knife”, the plasma is also called a “plasma knife” clinically. In recent years, the low temperature plasma technology has been widely used in the treatment of diseases of otolaryngology, urology surgery, spinal surgery, gynecology and anorectal surgery at home and abroad, and has been proved to have good results with the characteristics of low temperature, safety and high efficiency.
[0005] A cold plasma jet is produced by ionizing working gas under atmospheric pressure by applying a high pressure. The cold plasma jet is generally composed of charged particles, free radicals, electrons and various active particles. The application of cold plasma in the biomedical field has attracted more and more attentions. Many researches have confirmed that the cold plasma jet can effectively inactivate various pathogenic microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi and viruses. Very good research results have been achieved in dental treatment, cosmetology, hemostasis, anti-inflammation, wound healing, skin disease treatment and tumor treatment. The cold plasma technology can be used as an auxiliary surgery, especially for tumor treatment. Since the plasma is ejected along with airflow, it is called a “plasma jet”, the plasma jet is approximate to room temperature, and can effectively inhibit proliferation and migration of tumor cells and induce apoptosis without damaging normal tissues.
[0006] At present, surgery is a main method for treating tumors, especially in intracranial tumor surgery, cutting and ablating tumor tissues by a low temperature plasma technology has been more and more widely used at present. In order to ensure normal tissues and functions such as nerves, blood vessels and the brain tissue, tumors will inevitably remain in low temperature plasma cutting and ablation surgery, thereby leading to a risk of an increase of tumor recurrence; in addition, bacteria may invade the brain during or after a operation, thereby resulting in postoperative intracranial infection. The cold plasma jet can induce apoptosis of residual tumor cells and inhibiting bacteria without damaging normal tissues, so the cold plasma technology can be used to assist in low temperature plasma cutting and ablation surgery.
[0007] The surgical instrument of the low temperature plasma technology 1s a plasma cutter head, and the surgical instrument of the cold plasma jet technology is a jet cutter head, however, power supplies used by the plasma cutter head and the jet cutter head are different; moreover, saline water is needed when the plasma cutter head is used, and an inert gas flow is needed when the jet cutter head is used, then supporting facilities for the plasma cutter head and the jet cutter head are also different. Therefore, the plasma cutter head and the jet cutter head can only be used on their own plasma energy systems, and two different plasma energy systems need to be equipped for one surgical operation, the use is inconvenient.
[0008] The present application provides a multifunctional plasma surgical system, and the multifunctional plasma surgical system integrates a low temperature plasma energy system and a cold plasma jet energy system. A low temperature plasma cutter head and a jet cutter head can be used on one device, cutting and ablation of tumor tissues by a plasma knife is realized, and apoptosis of residual tumor cells and bacteria inhibiting induced by a plasma jet is also realized. The multifunctional plasma surgical system is used conveniently, and medical resources and economic burden borne by patients are reduced.

[0102] The inhibitory effects of plasma jet (i.e., the jet cutter head) on tumor cells are verified below through specific test examples of rat pituitary tumor GH3 cell line:
[0103] 1. GH3 cells were cultured in a DMEM/F12K+10% FBS medium, grew to a logarithmic phase and were then subcultured into a 6-well plate and a 96-well plate at a density of 10000/well and 250000/well, respectively. The CH3 cells were cultured continuously for 24 hours for plasma treatment.
[0104] 2. 99.999% helium was taken as a working gas at a flow rate of 1400sccm, sinusoidal
AC voltage excitation was performed at 5.6kV, SkHz and 5.6kV, 30kHz, respectively, to discharge and generate a plasma jet, GH3 cells were treated, and after treatment, GH3 cells were cultured continuously for 24 hours in a replaced medium.
[0105] 3. Cell activity was detected by a CCK-8 method, and results are shown in Fig. 9 and
Fig. 10. In Fig. 9, the voltage Vpp of the high voltage electrode is equal to 5.6kV, the frequency f is equal to 30kHz, and the flow rate of helium is equal to 1400sccm, and in Fig. 10, the voltage Vpp of the high voltage electrode is equal to 5.6kV, the frequency f is equal to SkHz, and the flow rate of helium is equal to 1400sccm. It can be known from Fig. 9 and
Fig. 10 that, the plasma jet has an obvious inhibitory effect on rat pituitary tumor GH3 cell line. Wherein in Fig. 9 and Fig. 10, a horizontal coordinate shows the treatment time of cold plasma (0sT60s), and a vertical coordinate shows the relative cell activity of GH3 cells in each group relative to the control group without treatment (0s). The higher the corresponding value is, the better the cell activity is. The results showed that the cold plasma produced by discharges at two frequencies (30kHz and SkHz) with an increase of treatment time could effectively inhibit the activity of GH3 cells, and almost all the GH3 cells could be killed only after treatment for about 10s. Considering that the plasma produced by discharging at 5kHz is milder, SkHz is preferably a major treatment parameter of a jet cutter head.
[0106] 4. In normal living cells, phosphatidylserine (PS) was only distributed inside double layers of a cell membrane lipid, but the PS in a cell membrane turned from inside to outside during apoptosis of cells. A phospholipid binding protein V (Annexin V) is a calcium- dependent phospholipid binding protein, and has a high affinity with PS, therefore, the phospholipid binding protein V can bind to cell membranes of cells during an early phase of apoptosis through phosphatidylserine exposed outside the cells.
[0107] Therefore, by labeling Annexin V with fluorescein (such as FITC, EGFP, etc.) and using the labeled Annexin V as a fluorescent probe, the PS which turned to the outside of cell membranes is detected, and occurrence of cell apoptosis can be detected by a fluorescence microscope or a flow cytometry, which can be used as one of the indexes to detect early apoptosis of cells. Propidium iodide (PI) is a type of nucleic acid dye, and cannot penetrate through cell membranes of normal living cells. But for necrotic cells and cells during late phase of apoptosis, the cell membranes are destroyed and are not intact. The PI can penetrate through the cell membranes and make the nucleus red. According to the difference of intracellular fluorescence, necrotic cells and cells during a late phase of apoptosis can be distinguished from living cells and cells during an early phase of apoptosis.
Therefore, Annexin V can be used in combination with PI to distinguish cells in different phases of apoptosis.
[0108] In the present application, after the GH3 cells in the orifice plate were treated by a jet cutter head (the treatment conditions are as follows: the voltage Vpp is equal to 5.6kV, the frequency f is equal to 5kHz, the flow rate of helium is equal to 1400sccm), the cells were continuously cultured for 24 hours and then collected, and after cells were stained by
Annexin V-FITC/PL the apoptosis rate of cells was detected by a flow method. The results are as shown in Fig. 11, the upper left quadrant shows necrotic cells (Annexin V-negative/PI- positive), the upper right quadrant shows cells at a late phase of apoptosis (Annexin V- positive/PI-positive), the lower left quadrant shows living cells (Annexin V-negative/PI- positive), and the lower right quadrant shows cells at an early phase of apoptosis (Annexin
V-positive/Pl-negative). It can be known from Fig. 11 that, plasma jet treatment obviously increases apoptosis of GH3 cells, and the apoptosis rate of cells reaches 41%.
[0109] 5. Analysis of cell cycles by flow cytometry is based on contents of DNA in cells (horizontal coordinate), to count the number of cells with different contents of DNA (vertical coordinate), and calculate the proportion of such cells in the total number of cells. When cells are in G1 phase, DNA replication has not yet started, and the content of DNA 1s also the least, that is, the first peak of a flow detection result diagram. After cells enter an S phase, cells begin to replicate to complete replication, which is a process from once of DNA to twice of DNA, and the period span is particularly large in the flow analysis result diagram
(the second peak which is not high but wide), when cells complete DNA replication, cells enter the G2 phase. At this time, within the time period from completion of DNA replication in cells to DNA division, the cell contains twice as much DNA, which is the second peak in the flow result diagram. However, when cells are in an M phase, there are also twice as much
DNA in the cells, and the method using the DNA content cannot be separated from the G2 phase, so it is usually expressed as a G2/M phase on the flow result diagram.
[0110] In the present application, after the GH3 cells in the orifice plate were treated by a jet cutter head (the treatment conditions are as follows: the voltage Vpp is equal to 5.6kV, the frequency f is equal to 30kHz, and the flow rate of helium is equal to 1400sccm), the cells were continuously cultured for 24 hours and then collected and stained by a cell cycle detection kit. The cell cycle changes were detected by a flow cytometry. The results are as shown in Fig. 12. It can be known from Fig. 12 that the ratio of cells in a G2 phase of GH3 after plasma jet treatment is obviously increased, indicating that cells are blocked in the
G2/M phase.
[0111] The above is preferred embodiments of the present application. It should be noted that a number of modifications and embellishments can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the principles of the present application. These modifications and embellishments should also be considered to fall within the protection scope of the present application.
