Abstract
Description
Technical Field
The application relates to the technical field of medical instruments, in particular to an irreversible electroporation circuit and a heart irreversible electroporation device.
Background
The electroporation effect refers to the phenomenon that cell membranes of cell tissues generate micropores under the action of a high-voltage pulse electric field, the permeability of the membranes is increased, the exchange capacity of molecules inside and outside the cells is enhanced, and macromolecules which cannot pass originally are allowed to pass through the cell membranes. After the high-voltage pulse is removed, the liquid channel is gradually closed, the cell permeability is slowly restored to the original level, but after the cell generates the electroporation effect, the cell membrane can generate irreversible electric breakdown along with the increase of the pulse intensity and the increase of the pulse action time, so that the lipid bilayer structure of the cell membrane and the internal environment of the cell are stabilized, the cell is gradually apoptotic and phagocytized and cleared by immune cells in vivo, and the normal tissue starts to regenerate. By utilizing the characteristic, high-voltage pulse with the pulse width of mu s-ms grade and the field intensity of kV/cm grade can be independently used to act on cancer tissues, so that irreversible electric breakdown is generated on cancer cells, the survival condition of the cancer is destroyed, and the aim of killing the cancer cells is fulfilled.
Irreversible electroporation ablation has three major clinical advantages: first, important tissue structures within the ablation zone are protected; secondly, the treatment is thorough and the boundary is clear; third, there is no heat sink effect, and the ablation effect is not affected by blood flow. These clinical advantages make irreversible electroporation ablation more suitable for cardiac ablation, including atrial fibrillation, ventricular fibrillation, septal ablation, and the like. However, due to the particularity of the heart organs, no special equipment is available for cardiology irreversible electroporation studies and clinical applications. According to the regulations of GB 9706.1-2020 general requirements for medical and electrical safety, the electrical equipment for heart should satisfy the CF type equipment, i.e. the application part must be an isolated floating ground output, and the protection degree of electric shock, especially the allowable leakage current value, should be less than 10 uA.

The source of the sixth transistor Q6 is connected to ground. The input terminal J of the first DC-AC conversion circuit is grounded with the ultra-low voltage energy storage capacitor C of the energy storage circuit.
Wherein, the working frequency of the high-speed pulse width modulation controller U1 is up to 1000kHz, and the starting current is 100 muA; the timing resistor RT and the timing capacitor CT are respectively used for setting the working frequency of the U1 and the time of output pulse; RT and CT values can be set according to requirements, and the operating frequency of U1 is set to be 100kHz-800 kHz.
During work, the output ports OUTA and OUTB of the U1 send two paths of PWM signals with phase difference of 180 degrees to input end pins LIN of U2 and U3 respectively; the first driver U2 and the second driver U3 can be half-bridge FET driver L6491D, the peak value source current of which is 4A, the peak value sink current of which is 4A, the driving speed is up to 800kHz, the quiescent current is 540 muA, and a high-speed comparator is arranged in the L6491D and can be used for detecting the magnetic saturation of the transformer.

In actual control, pin NI of U1 is used to control the output of the pulse. When the pin NI is at a high level, the output port (pins OUTA, OUTB) of the U1 sends a PWM signal, and the first dc-ac conversion circuit outputs a pulse; when the pin NI is at a low level, the output port (pins OUTA, OUTB) of the U1 is at a low level, no PWM signal is generated, and no pulse is output from the first dc-ac converting circuit. Thus, the duty cycle of the first dc-ac converting circuit (i.e., the high time at pin NI of U1) is the pulse width output by the cardiac irreversible electroporation device.
In some embodiments, the isolation transformer circuit may include an isolation step-up transformer for energy transfer, voltage boosting, and electrical isolation, wherein the energy transfer is accomplished by a high frequency alternating magnetic field. The isolation step-up transformer may have only one set of primary windings and one set of secondary windings so that the effective volume of the magnetic core can be fully utilized. The number of turns of the primary coil can be 1-6 turns, and the number of turns of the secondary coil can be 20-100 turns.
In the implementation, the output pulse amplitude of the secondary coil of the isolation boosting transformer is 1200V, and the frequency is square wave pulse of 100kHz-800kHz, wherein, in order to reduce leakage inductance and distributed capacitance, a ferrite magnetic core with a larger aspect ratio can be adopted; in order to reduce electromagnetic interference, a grounded shielding tape may be disposed on the outer layer of the isolation step-up transformer.
Since the pulse amplitude of the biphasic pulse output by the isolation step-up transformer changes with the change of load impedance, the output amplitude must be stabilized in order to improve accuracy, and since the amplitude stabilization setting circuit can only process the direct current pulse, the alternating current pulse output by the isolation transformation circuit needs to be converted by the alternating current-direct current conversion circuit.

In the working process, when the isolation boosting transformer T has no pulse output, no voltage exists on the fourth capacitor C4, and the third resistor R3 is used for discharging the fourth capacitor C4 so as to prevent the voltage on the fourth capacitor C4 from being overhigh due to transformer leakage inductance in the no-load state; the discharge time constant is less than 0.2 ms; when the isolation transformer circuit T has a pulse output, the ac-dc conversion circuit may convert the ac pulse output by the isolation step-up transformer T into a dc pulse with an amplitude of 1200V.
In irreversible electroporation circuits, the amplitude stabilization setting circuit is responsible for two tasks: the first is amplitude setting, the irreversible electroporation threshold of human tissues is directly related to the electric field intensity, when the electrode spacing is fixed, the electric field intensity is in direct proportion to the pulse amplitude, the pulse amplitude determines the single ablation range, and in addition, different tissues have different thresholds and need different pulse amplitudes; secondly, the amplitude is stabilized, the load impedance is closely related to the square wave pulse waveform, especially when the load impedance is small, the risk of distortion of the output waveform is increased, the biological impedance is different due to different tissue components, and when the square wave pulse acts on the biological tissue to cause the tissue cells to generate the electroporation effect, the biological tissue impedance also changes, so that the biological impedance cannot be expected in the process of the electroporation effect of the tissue, therefore, in order to ensure that the output square wave pulse is not distorted, a voltage stabilizing circuit is required to be arranged for stabilizing the voltage value of the output pulse so as to avoid the distortion of the square wave pulse waveform.

Emitter follower when pulse arrivesOperation starts, clamping the emitter voltage of the first transistor Q1 at VSet upThe first diode D1 allows the emitter follower input pulse amplitude to be less than VSet upTherefore, the amplitude stability setting circuit can adjust the DC pulse with the amplitude of 1200V output by the AC-DC conversion circuit into the single-phase pulse with the amplitude of 0-1000V. Further, since the irreversible electroporation circuit is an isolated output, the amplitude setting (external input) VSet upIt should be given in isolation.
