Description

Technology area

The invention relates to the field of medicine and veterinary medicine, and can be used, in particular, as a therapeutic tool for the treatment of diseases caused by pathogenic microorganisms, and can also be used as research equipment focused on studying the effect of modulated ultraviolet and infrared radiation on cells of microorganisms, with the aim of destroying them, without harming the cells of the human and animal body, and the subsequent application of the resulting effect in medicine.

The invention can also be used for effective and harmless disinfection of premises and places of constant presence of a person / animals, without harm to his health, which helps to reduce the risks of viral, bacterial and other infection.

State of the art

Known light therapy device for ultraviolet-infrared irradiation, which includes a first radiation source, made as a gas-discharge mercury lamp with a quartz glass bulb, and fixed in the center of a reflector made of oxidized aluminum, and a second source of infrared radiation (RF patent No. 2492883).

The principle of operation of the device is based on the effect of reproduction of the main spectrum of radiation of the sun necessary for a person - from long-wave ultraviolet to thermal infrared ranges.

A feature of the performance is, declared by the developer, the maximum effect of radiation in the biologically active range of UV-B (UVB) and the elimination of harmful effects leading to photoaging of the skin and carcinogenesis, constituting ultraviolet radiation of the UV-A (UVA) range. However, the design of this device is very similar to the design of a quartz lamp, supplemented with an infrared source, without a generator designed to generate frequency modulated signals, which does not provide a selective inhibitory effect on pathogenic microorganisms. This reduces the effectiveness of the therapeutic effect in the case of infectious diseases, including viral ones.

A device is known for implementing the method of non-invasive polychromatic light pulse therapy (RF patent No. 2556608). The device consists of a pulsed light source and a light filter. As can be seen from the text of the description of the invention, the device operates in the frequency range of a switching power supply from 1 to 35 Hz, and the range of light irradiation from 300-1500nm is also used. There is also a need for continuous mechanical squeezing .

The specified device cannot be tuned to a specific frequency, leading to the death of certain pathogenic microorganisms.

Disclosure of the essence of the invention

The problem to be solved by the claimed invention is to create an effective device for deactivation (destruction) of pathogenic microorganisms, without causing tangible harm to the human / animal body, in order to minimize the negative impact of pathogenic microflora on human / animal health.

In the present invention, pathogenic microorganisms are understood to mean bacteria, fungal spores, viruses, and the like.

The technical result consists in increasing the effectiveness and safety of exposure, which is achieved by the pulse nature and frequency modulation of the radiation, the parameters of which depend on the data received from the sensors and the specified frequencies corresponding to the frequencies at which the vital activity of pathogenic microorganisms is suppressed, as well as the use of a safe radiation range in the infrared and ultraviolet spectrum of light waves.

The specified technical result is achieved by the fact that the system of controlled modulation of light radiation in the infrared and ultraviolet range by means of a gas discharge tube, intended for therapeutic effects, contains a gas discharge tube with power lines connected to the anode and cathode terminals, a high-voltage voltage generation and detection unit with sensors for recording voltage, current and resistance, microcontroller, computer device, while the high-voltage voltage generating unit is connected to the gas discharge tube and the microcontroller, which is connected to the computer device. The computer device has access to a database of spectra of natural frequencies of oscillations of pathogenic microorganisms, which can be written directly into the memory of the computer device or into a memory device to which the computer device has access.

Feedback is implemented in the system by monitoring the consumption levels and the resistance of the gas discharge tube.

Due to the presence of feedback and a microcontroller with a programmable frequency spectrum corresponding to the frequency spectrum of pathogenic microorganisms, the possibility of resonant action, inactivation (or even destruction) of specific viruses is achieved. In this case, the effect that healthy cells of a human or animal body are simultaneously exposed to is safe for them.

The microcontroller allows you to control the generation of a sequence of electrical signals, with feedback, based on a predetermined sequence of frequencies with specified characteristics of duty cycle, amplitude and type of generated wave, providing an uninterrupted effect of exposure.

The resonant effect increases the effectiveness and safety of therapy. The safety and effectiveness of exposure is also due to the pulsed nature of the radiation.

Implementation of the invention

The system of controlled modulation of light radiation in the infrared and ultraviolet range by means of a gas discharge tube consists of a gas discharge tube 1 with power lines connected to the anode and cathode terminals, a unit 2 for generating and detecting high voltage by means of a step-up transformer with sensors for detecting voltage, current and resistance, a microcontroller 3, a computer device 4, while the high-voltage voltage generation and detection unit 2 is connected to the gas-discharge tube 1 and the microcontroller 3. The microcontroller 3 is connected to the computer device 4. The computer device 4 has access to the database of the frequency spectra of pathogenic microorganisms. The system may include a memory device with a recorded database of spectra of natural frequencies of oscillations of pathogenic microorganisms. The specified memory device is connected to the computer device, or is part of the computer device.

The gas discharge tube 1 is filled with a mixture of inert gases in proportions to generate radiation in the infrared or ultraviolet range.

Generation and detection unit 2 consists of an ammeter and a voltmeter, connected according to the classical scheme, as well as a voltage boosting module, for example, a step-up transformer, with signal parameters similar to those set by the microcontroller 3 with a corresponding gain.

Microcontroller 3 is designed to generate baseband signals and control them based on the data received from the system sensors located in the high-voltage voltage generation and detection unit 2.

As the computer device 4, for example, a personal computer can be used.

The computer device 4 is intended for programming the operating modes of the microcontroller 3, according to the frequency characteristics of specific pathogenic microorganisms, as well as for setting, monitoring and maintaining the operating parameters of the sensors and high-voltage parts of the device.

Modulation of light radiation using electrical pulses is carried out in accordance with an algorithm based on the principle of parallel-sequential alternations of electrical pulses with certain frequency-amplitude characteristics and duty cycle, which in turn are controlled by the feedback channel and corrected based on these data. Generation of electrical impulses of the required frequency and duty cycle is set by the microprogram taking into account information from the database containing the spectra of natural frequencies of oscillations of pathogenic microorganisms.

In this case, the sequence of frequencies, amplitude and duty cycle, set by the microcontroller 3, is a system of superposition of two frequency components from the list of the database, selected in accordance with the required therapeutic effect, and generated by the high-voltage voltage generation and detection unit 4, consisting of current and resistance control devices at the output of the unit, after the step-up transformer, and a voltage control device at the input of the step-up transformer, which regulates the output current to the gas discharge tube of the system.

Modulation of light radiation is carried out at each stage of the system operation, by superimposing two initial frequencies on top of each other and creating a pulse stream, with a current value directly proportional to its frequency, set by the microcontroller 3, through feedback, taking into account the data obtained during the generation of pulses, according to current, resistance and voltage, based on embedded algorithms.

Pulse (pulsating) current of a certain frequency and power, in contrast to direct currents of the same power, can be less dangerous. The same rule applies to optical quantities. Therefore, the pulsed principle of infrared or ultraviolet electromagnetic radiation is used. According to the analyzes carried out, the frequency range of the generation of pulses supplied to the gas discharge tube 1 should be in the range from 7.000 Hz to 1.000.000 Hz, and the current value should be from 100 mA to 400 mA. In this case, the higher the frequency, the higher the level of the pulsed current flowing through the electrodes of the gas discharge tube. The power of the radiation source is regulated by the duty cycle of the pulses, which ranges from 20% to 60%.

The indicated values can be obtained as follows:

1.the ratio of the generated current to its frequency is calculated by the formula:

Where:

Fdb - frequency value obtained from the database, Fmax - maximum generated frequency value equal to 1.000.000 Hz., Fmin - minimum generated frequency value equal to 7.000 Hz., Imax - Maximum generated current value equal to 400 mA., Imin - Minimum generated current value equal to 100 mA.

Thus, we can say that the frequency gradation factor is present in the formula:

equal to 3310 Hz.

2. The current level is determined by the current measurement circuitry and is used to control the current level for compliance with the specified parameters, in accordance with the above formula.

3.To calculate the resistance value of the gas-discharge tube, Ohm's law can be applied, U = IR, we get the following:

Where U is the voltage level obtained by the classical circuit for measuring the voltage across the electrodes of the gas discharge tube, and I is the level of the current flowing through the electrodes of the gas discharge tube.

It is known that external electromagnetic influence, with appropriate frequency characteristics, can lead to resonance of the cell membrane with the subsequent destruction of the membrane itself as a result of this influence and cell death. At the same time, a short and pulsed effect of electromagnetic radiation on complex multicellular organisms, under certain conditions, does not represent a destructive effect on the cells of this organism. Naturally, both humans and animals belong to such organisms.

Thus, this system makes it possible to provoke disruptions in the functioning of the cell membrane of viruses and bacteria and lead to the permanent death of the latter, without any particular negative effect on human or animal cells.

The device works as follows.

Determine the causative agent of the disease. The natural vibration frequencies of the identified pathogen are read from the database containing the natural frequencies of the pathogenic microorganisms. The corresponding database can be stored both in the memory of a personal computer and on a separate device.

Based on the data obtained, a microcontroller 3 is programmed using a computer device 4. The microprogram, based on information from the database, sets an algorithm for generating electrical pulses of the appropriate frequency and duty cycle.

The algorithm is based on the principle of parallel-sequential alternations of electrical pulses with certain frequency-amplitude characteristics and duty cycle, which, in turn, are controlled by the feedback channel and are corrected based on these data. Two initial frequencies are superimposed on each other (Fig. 2) in a certain way, as a result of which a pulsed oscillatory flow is created with a current value directly proportional to its frequency set by the microcontroller3, through feedback, taking into account the data obtained during the generation of pulses, by current , resistance and stress.

The modulation carried out at each stage of the device operation is individual and is determined according to the specified sets of initial data.

To destroy pathogenic microflora in rooms, the device is placed in this room and a preselected and configured exposure mode is started, taking into account not only the frequency and duration of exposure, but also the intensity, which is determined by the radiation power (if necessary).

To affect the pathogenic microflora in the human or animal body, it is enough, during the radiation process, the latter is in the area of exposure to radiation, at a distance of 1 to 6 meters, while it is recommended that a person does not wear clothing covering the area of exposure, or use fabrics according to structure providing sufficient transmission of light rays and only 100% cotton.

The optimal from the point of view of the therapeutic effect, the frequency range of the generation of pulses supplied to the gas discharge tube 1 is in the range from 7.000 Hz to 1.000.000 Hz, and the current value is from 100 mA to 400 mA. In this case, the higher the frequency, the higher the level of the pulsed current flowing through the electrodes of the gas discharge tube. The power of the radiation source is regulated by the duty cycle of the pulses, which ranges from 20% to 60%.

Due to the presence in the feedback system between the gas discharge tube, which emits electromagnetic waves of a specific range, in the range of 736-786 nm for the near infrared tube and 250-400 nm for the mid and near long-wave ultraviolet range, and the control circuit based on the programmable microcontroller , as well as the algorithms of the microcontroller itself, set by a computer device, the effect of a destructive effect on pathogenic microorganisms is achieved without much harm to the cells of the human and animal body.

The effectiveness of the invention is confirmed by the results of tests carried out on volunteers with various health problems. The examples of these results, given below, confirm the high probability of practical application of the claimed invention in the treatment of diseases caused by pathogenic microflora, without a noticeable negative effect of disrupting the normal functioning of the processes of cellular metabolism of healthy cells of the system.
