Description

一种脉冲发生装置及脉冲控制方法A pulse generating device and pulse control method 技术领域technical field
本发明涉及脉冲技术领域,特别涉及一种脉冲发生装置及脉冲控制方法。The invention relates to the field of pulse technology, in particular to a pulse generating device and a pulse control method.
背景技术Background technique
现有治疗快速心律失常、组织消融或肿瘤治疗时,往往采用射频、微波等热消融技术。其中,射频技术可以产生固定频率的正弦波。所产生的射频能量通过射频导管或者射频电极作用到需要治疗的病灶点,使其达到阻断或者调理的作用,进而达到治疗的效果。并且射频技术由于采用特定的频率的正弦波信号,虽然输出较高的能量,但是由于其频率固定,使得与之相连的系统可以通过带阻滤波的方式去除射频信号对于其他信号的干扰。In the existing treatment of tachyarrhythmia, tissue ablation or tumor treatment, thermal ablation techniques such as radio frequency and microwave are often used. Among them, radio frequency technology can generate a fixed frequency sine wave. The generated radiofrequency energy acts on the lesion to be treated through the radiofrequency catheter or radiofrequency electrode, so that it can achieve the effect of blocking or conditioning, and then achieve the therapeutic effect. And because the radio frequency technology uses a sine wave signal of a specific frequency, although it outputs higher energy, because of its fixed frequency, the system connected to it can remove the interference of the radio frequency signal to other signals through band-stop filtering.
但是这些消融技术在临床实际应用中受限于热池效应,很难达到全层透壁的消融目标,从而影响治疗效果。另外,属于热消融技术的射频消融技术,由于不具备细胞的选择性,可能会将非靶的细胞也一并进行消融损毁。However, these ablation techniques are limited by the thermal pool effect in clinical practice, and it is difficult to achieve full-thickness transmural ablation goals, thereby affecting the therapeutic effect. In addition, radiofrequency ablation technology, which belongs to thermal ablation technology, may also ablate and destroy non-target cells due to lack of cell selectivity.
鉴于以上热消融技术的缺陷,高压脉冲技术作为一项非热消融技术日渐得到了临床应用的关注。高压脉冲技术通过产生一种脉宽为毫秒、微秒甚至纳秒级的高压脉冲电场,在短时间内释放极高的能量,其能使得细胞膜甚至是细胞内的细胞器如内质网、线粒体、细胞核等会产生大量的不可逆的微孔,进而造成病变细胞的凋亡,从而达到预期的治疗目的。In view of the above defects of thermal ablation technology, high-voltage pulse technology, as a non-thermal ablation technology, has gradually attracted the attention of clinical application. High-voltage pulse technology generates a high-voltage pulsed electric field with a pulse width of milliseconds, microseconds or even nanoseconds to release extremely high energy in a short period of time, which can make cell membranes and even intracellular organelles such as endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, Nuclei, etc. will produce a large number of irreversible micropores, which will cause the apoptosis of diseased cells, so as to achieve the expected therapeutic purpose.
以治疗快速心律失常为例,在治疗快速心律失常的应用中,采用高压脉冲技术可以选择性的处理心肌细胞,而不对其他非靶的细胞组织产生影响,同时其还具有彻底的全层消融、精准、快速、保护冠脉的特点,因此,高压脉冲射频技术有望成为理想的心脏消融手段。Taking the treatment of tachyarrhythmia as an example, in the application of the treatment of tachyarrhythmia, the use of high-voltage pulse technology can selectively treat cardiomyocytes without affecting other non-target cell tissues, and it also has thorough full-thickness ablation, Accurate, fast, and coronary artery protection, therefore, high-voltage pulsed radiofrequency technology is expected to become an ideal means of cardiac ablation.
然而现有高压脉冲技术采用稳压电源供电,给电容充电,然后控制开关放电产生脉冲,由于电源功率以及电容容量有限,对较大负载放电时,脉冲尾部幅度下降就很大,而且难于实现较宽的脉冲宽度;此外,对于临床上需要多路输出以及高频调制的功能,现有高压脉冲技术也难于实现。However, the existing high-voltage pulse technology uses a regulated power supply to charge the capacitor, and then controls the switch to discharge to generate pulses. Due to the limited power of the power supply and the capacity of the capacitor, when discharging a large load, the amplitude of the pulse tail will drop greatly, and it is difficult to achieve a relatively high voltage. Wide pulse width; in addition, for clinical functions that require multiple outputs and high-frequency modulation, the existing high-voltage pulse technology is also difficult to achieve.
高压脉冲技术应用于神经刺激、组织消融、肿瘤治疗时,也同样存在以上问题。When high-voltage pulse technology is applied to nerve stimulation, tissue ablation, and tumor treatment, the above problems also exist.

进一步的,所述高频窄脉冲为双极性高频窄脉冲,为了在脉冲消融时实现射频调制功能或者输出任意时间宽度的宽脉冲,所述脉冲合成器能够将双极性高频窄脉冲整流之后,进一步积分滤波,合成为单极性的所需任意时间宽度的脉冲,也能够仅将双极性高频窄脉冲整流输出为射频调制信号。Further, the high-frequency narrow pulse is a bipolar high-frequency narrow pulse. In order to realize the radio frequency modulation function or output a wide pulse with any time width during pulse ablation, the pulse synthesizer can combine the bipolar high-frequency narrow pulse After rectification, it is further integrated and filtered to synthesize unipolar pulses of any required time width, and only bipolar high-frequency narrow pulses can be rectified and output as radio frequency modulation signals.
进一步的,为了解决电源功率有限以及电容容量有限的问题,所述直流电源可以为高瞬时功率直流电源,所述储能器可包含充电电容和快速泄放电路;在非脉冲输出期间直流电源以小功率给充电电容充电,在脉冲输出期间直流电源以高瞬时功率给充电电容充电,并通过快速泄放电路泄放过量的电容电量,从而产生脉冲所需的任意电压幅度。Further, in order to solve the problem of limited power supply and limited capacitor capacity, the DC power supply can be a high instantaneous power DC power supply, and the energy storage can include a charging capacitor and a fast discharge circuit; during non-pulse output, the DC power supply can be Charge the charging capacitor with low power. During the pulse output period, the DC power supply charges the charging capacitor with high instantaneous power, and discharges the excess capacitor power through the fast discharge circuit, thereby generating any voltage amplitude required by the pulse.
进一步的,多路分配器内部可由半桥连接至输入脉冲信号,通过半桥将脉冲信号分配至相应的治疗电极上,并控制其极性。相比于现有继电器形式的多路分配器,本发明半桥形式的多路分配器,结构更简单,响应速度更快。Furthermore, the half-bridge inside the demultiplexer can be connected to the input pulse signal, and the pulse signal can be distributed to the corresponding treatment electrodes through the half-bridge, and its polarity can be controlled. Compared with the existing relay-type demultiplexer, the half-bridge-type demultiplexer of the present invention has simpler structure and faster response speed.
本发明的脉冲发生装置可应用于消融治疗,例如快速心律失常治疗、组织消融、肿瘤治疗等,同时也可以应用于非消融治疗,例如神经刺激、除颤。根据实施例,当应用于消融治疗时,所述治疗电极为消融电极,所述双极性高频窄脉冲的频率范围通常为10KHz-10MHz,优选50KHz-500KHz。The pulse generating device of the present invention can be applied to ablation therapy, such as tachyarrhythmia therapy, tissue ablation, tumor therapy, etc., and can also be applied to non-ablation therapy, such as nerve stimulation and defibrillation. According to an embodiment, when applied to ablation therapy, the treatment electrode is an ablation electrode, and the frequency range of the bipolar high-frequency narrow pulse is generally 10KHz-10MHz, preferably 50KHz-500KHz.

It receives instructions from the controller, controls the full-bridge switch, generates specific high-frequency pulses, and outputs them to the pulse synthesizer through a transformer. Since the output is a bipolar high-frequency pulse with a higher frequency than the output pulse of the existing pulse generator, a transformer with a small magnetic flux can be used in this way, and the volume is greatly reduced, and the subsequent pulse synthesis can realize any time width. pulse.

步骤5:根据储能器的充电电容电压,调整直流电源输出,进入步骤6;由于在脉冲输出期间,脉冲输出功率大,储能器的充电电容电压会很快下降,因此需要调整直流电源的输出,即采用最大的瞬时功率给储能器的充电电容充电,储能器电容电压如果超过脉冲输出电压幅度,则通过储能器的快速泄放电路将对电容快速放电至所需的电压幅度。Step 5: Adjust the output of the DC power supply according to the voltage of the charging capacitor of the accumulator, and go to step 6; since the pulse output power is large during the pulse output period, the voltage of the charging capacitor of the accumulator will drop quickly, so the DC power supply needs to be adjusted Output, that is, use the maximum instantaneous power to charge the charging capacitor of the accumulator.
