Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of postoperative edema prevention, and particularly relates to a method for preventing lower limb lymphedema after gynecological tumor surgery. Background Technique
[0002] Lower limb lymphedema (LLL), as a progressive chronic postoperative complication, is mainly due to the irreversible structural damage of the lymphatic system during tumor resection surgery, which in turn triggers a series of intricate pathological cascades, including extensive edema in the tissue space, abnormal retention of macromolecular substances, persistent chronic inflammation, gradual aggravation of tissue fibrosis, and abnormal deposition of adipose tissue. Research shows that once LLL forms, it is difficult to cure, bringing multiple negative effects to patients such as limb morphological distortion, decreased sensory function, decreased or even loss of limb strength and motor function, aggravated neuropathic pain, strong fatigue, heavy psychological and mental burden, and increased infection risk, seriously eroding the quality of life of patients.
[0003] Currently, clinical diagnosis mainly relies on limb circumference measurement, volume displacement method or subjective symptom assessment. These methods are insufficiently sensitive to early lymphatic dysfunction and are difficult to identify compensatory pathological changes in the subclinical stage. Although traditional bioimpedance technology can detect changes in tissue fluid volume, impedance measurement at a single frequency point is easily interfered by the extracellular matrix remodeling during tissue repair and cannot distinguish inflammatory exudation from lymphatic fluid retention, resulting in a relatively high false positive rate. To address the above problems, the following solutions are proposed. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for preventing lower limb lymphedema after gynecological tumor surgery. By integrating the frequency-varying characteristics of bioimpedance and kinematic parameters, a multi-dimensional feature evaluation system is constructed, solving the problem in the prior art that it is impossible to distinguish inflammatory exudation from lymphatic fluid retention, resulting in a relatively high false positive rate.
[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention is realized through the following technical solutions:
[0006] The present invention is a method for preventing lower limb lymphedema after gynecological tumor surgery, including:
[0007] Step S1, data acquisition system: Deploy a portable high-frequency bioimpedance instrument, a 3D optical volume scanner, integrate wearable inertial sensors, set the postoperative monitoring period, collect the physiological and motion data of the patient's bilateral lower limbs, and construct a data baseline;
[0008] Step S2, calculation of dynamic bioimpedance parameters: Calculate the difference index between the affected and healthy sides through the impedance amplitude, phase angle, and characteristic frequency of the bioimpedance measurement points collected, and quantify the dynamic balance state of tissue fluid;
[0009] Step S3, Quantitative analysis of motion characteristics: Collect daily activity data through an inertial sensor, extract typical motion pattern characteristics, quantify the impact of daily activities on lymphatic reflux, and evaluate the efficiency of mechanical lymphatic reflux;
[0010] Step S4, Construction of fusion algorithm: Construct a risk assessment model based on the coupling of impedance and motion characteristics, establish a three-level warning threshold, and achieve non-linear fusion of multi-modal data;
[0011] Step S5, Generation of personalized prevention plan: Automatically generate intervention parameters according to the risk assessment value, including the grade of compression stockings and the frequency of intermittent pneumatic pressure treatment, generate a customized exercise prescription, and achieve gradient intervention;
[0012] Step S6, Implementation of dynamic feedback regulation: Establish a parameter closed-loop control system, design an adaptive regulation algorithm, adjust the prevention plan according to the change rate of the risk assessment value, and construct an adaptive treatment system.
[0013] Furthermore, for the said step S1, the data acquisition system specifically includes the following steps:
[0014] Step S11: Use a portable high-frequency bio-impedance meter (50kHz - 1MHz) to symmetrically mark 12 measurement points on both lower limbs; simultaneously measure the impedance amplitude Z, phase angle θ, and characteristic frequency fc of the affected side and the healthy side;
[0015] The said 12 measurement points are specifically 3 points at the root of the thigh, 3 points at the knee joint, 3 points in the middle of the calf, and 3 points at the ankle joint;
[0016] Step S12: Adopt a 3D optical volume scanner (accuracy ±0.5mm 3 ) to establish a three-dimensional model database of the patient's lower limbs and quantify the change in limb circumference (sensitivity of 0.3cm difference);
[0017] Step S13: Wear a 9-axis IMU sensor (sampling rate 100Hz) at the ankle joint and knee joint of the affected limb to collect the heel strike impact force, the change rate of knee flexion angle, and the ankle dorsiflexion maintenance time in real-time during the gait cycle;
[0018] Step S14: Conduct baseline measurements on the 1st, 3rd, and 7th days after surgery, and then once a week for 3 months to establish an individualized risk evolution curve.
[0019] Furthermore, in the said step S2, the formulas for calculating the difference indices of the affected and healthy sides in the calculation of bio-impedance dynamic parameters are respectively:
[0020] Reflecting the change in extracellular fluid volume, ΔZ > 15% indicates interstitial fluid accumulation;
[0021] Δθ > 2° indicates endothelial cell injury;
[0022] Δfc > 8% corresponds to the pre-fibrotic stage;
[0023] Where ΔZ is the percentage difference in bilateral impedance, Δθ is the phase angle difference, and Δfc is the relative difference in characteristic frequency.
[0024] Furthermore, in step S3, the quantitative analysis of motion characteristics specifically includes the following steps:
[0025] Step S31: Collect daily activity data through an IMU. The collected data are respectively:
[0026] Heel strike impact force: Calculated by double integration of acceleration, and the threshold is set to 2.5 m / s 2 (Exceeding 1.2 times the body weight exacerbates lymphatic vessel injury);
[0027] Knee flexion rate of change: Normally, it should reach 25 - 35° / s. When the rate of change is less than 15° / s, it indicates insufficient muscle pump function;
[0028] Ankle dorsiflexion maintenance time ratio: The average time ratio in healthy people is 45%. When the time ratio is less than 30%, exercise intervention is required;
[0029] Step S32: Extract the characteristics of typical motion patterns through the formula. The formula is:
[0030]
[0031] Where F motion is the comprehensive quantitative index of lower limb motor function, ω1, ω2, ω3 are all weight coefficients, a max is the maximum acceleration of heel strike, α is the knee flexion angle, is the rate of change of knee angle, T dorsiflexion is the ratio of ankle dorsiflexion time.
[0032] Furthermore, in step S4, the construction of the fusion algorithm specifically includes the following steps:
[0033] Step S41: Based on the calculated difference indexes of the affected and healthy sides, construct a risk assessment model based on the impedance-motion feature coupling:
[0034]
[0035] Where CRI is the comprehensive risk index, e is the natural constant, k is the impedance adjustment factor, ΔZ×Δθ / Δfc is the impedance feature coupling term, τ is the motion feature normalization coefficient, and Fmation is the comprehensive value of motion features;
[0036] Step S42: Establish the third-level warning thresholds, specifically as follows:
[0037] Low risk: CRI < 2.3 (sensitivity 85%, specificity 79%);
[0038] Medium risk: 2.3 ≤ CRI < 3.8 (positive likelihood ratio 4.2);
[0039] High risk: CRI ≥ 3.8.
[0040] Furthermore, for the said step S5, the generation of a personalized prevention plan specifically includes the following steps:
[0041] Step S51: Automatically generate intervention parameters according to the CRI value. When the CRI value is at low risk, adjust the pressure of the compression stockings to 15 - 20 mmHg, with intermittent pneumatic compression treatment twice a day; when the CRI value is at medium risk, adjust the pressure of the compression stockings to 20 - 30 mmHg, with intermittent pneumatic compression treatment four times a day; when the CRI value is at high risk, adjust the pressure of the compression stockings to 30 - 40 mmHg, with intermittent pneumatic compression treatment six times a day;
[0042] Step S52: Generate a customized exercise prescription, including:
[0043] S521. Gait correction parameter: Limit the ankle dorsiflexion angle θdorsiflexion ∈ [18°, 25°];
[0044] S522. Exercise intensity control: Dynamically adjust the target heart rate range according to the F motion value. The specific operation steps are as follows:
[0045] S5221: Calculate the maximum heart rate HR max ;
[0046] S5222. Match the F motion coefficient: When F motion <1.2, it is determined as low-intensity exercise, and select a coefficient of 0.4 - 0.5; when 1.2 ≤ F motion <2.0, it is classified as medium-intensity exercise, and select a coefficient of 0.5 - 0.6; when F motion ≥2.0, it is defined as high-intensity exercise, and select a coefficient of 0.6 - 0.7;
[0047] S5223. Calculate the target heart rate: Substitute the selected F motion coefficient into the formula:
[0048] Target heart rate = (HR max - HR rest ) × F motion coefficient + HR rest ;
[0049] Wherein, HR rest is the resting heart rate.
[0050] Furthermore, in step S6, implementing dynamic feedback regulation specifically includes the following steps:
[0051] Step S61, establishing a parameter closed-loop control system: setting the threshold of the weekly change rate of CRI, ΔCRI / Δt ≤ 0.15 / week;
[0052] ΔCRI / Δt > 0.2: Upgrading the treatment plan (such as increasing the pressure level and shortening the re-evaluation period to 3 days);
[0053] ΔCRI / Δt < -0.1: Initiating a dosage reduction program;
[0054] Step S62, adaptive regulation algorithm:
[0055]
[0056] Wherein, P new is the parameter of the new treatment plan, P old is the parameter of the original treatment plan, η is the learning rate, is the change rate of CRI over time, and the sigmoid function is used to smooth the adjustment amplitude.
[0057] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0058] 1. By integrating the frequency-varying characteristics of bioimpedance and kinematic parameters, the present invention constructs a multi-dimensional feature evaluation system, breaking through the limitations of traditional single physiological index detection; the dynamic frequency-domain analysis of bioimpedance can sensitively capture the subtle changes in the composition of extracellular fluid, effectively distinguishing tissue inflammatory reactions from real lymphatic fluid retention; combined with the motion feature quantification model, it can analyze the compensatory state of the muscle pump function, identify the mechanical compensatory mechanism in the subclinical stage, and through the composite risk assessment algorithm, the synergistic effect analysis of bioelectrical characteristics and motor function is realized through non-linear relationship mapping, advancing the detection time window of early lymphatic return decompensation compared with conventional methods, winning crucial time for clinical intervention. This multi-modal data fusion strategy can reduce the misjudgment rate caused by individual physiological differences.
[0059] 2. Through the standardized data acquisition process and the algorithm-driven analysis module, the present invention realizes objective and quantitative risk assessment, reduces the subjective deviation of manual interpretation, and the treatment control interface integrated in the device supports the execution of automated programs, enabling basic intervention measures to be implemented in community medical scenarios. The dynamic feedback mechanism continuously evaluates the intervention effect and intelligently adjusts the subsequent treatment intensity, avoiding the waste of resources caused by ineffective medical behaviors.
[0060] 3. The personalized prevention plan generated by the risk assessment model of the present invention can dynamically adjust the intervention parameters according to the real-time status of the patient. The pressure treatment sets three pressure gradients and combines the intelligent adjustment of the intermittent inflation frequency to ensure the balance between the lymphatic drainage efficiency and tissue tolerance; the exercise prescription limits the dorsiflexion angle of the ankle joint and controls the dynamic heart rate to avoid sports injuries while promoting lymphatic return. The closed-loop feedback system automatically triggers the treatment plan upgrade or reduction program by monitoring the change rate of the risk index, making the intervention intensity match the disease development in real time. This dynamic adjustment mechanism avoids over-treatment or under-treatment of traditional static plans and improves the individualization level and clinical safety of preventive measures.
[0061] Of course, it is not necessary for any product implementing the present invention to achieve all the above-mentioned advantages simultaneously. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0115] At the knee joint: 5 cm above the upper edge of the patella, the midpoint of the patella, and 3 cm medial to the head of the fibula;
[0116] In the middle of the lower leg: 15 cm below the tibial tuberosity, the highest point of the soleus muscle belly, and 8 cm above the Achilles tendon;
[0117] At the ankle joint: the tip of the medial malleolus, the tip of the lateral malleolus, and the dorsalis pedis artery pulsation point;
[0118] Use a VoluSense3DPro scanner (resolution 0.2 mm) to construct a three-dimensional model of the patient's lower limbs, and mark key anatomical structures such as the great saphenous vein walking area and the popliteal fossa lymph-rich area. The initial scan data shows that the volume of the right lower limb is 4820 mL, and the volume of the left lower limb is 4795 mL (the difference < 0.5%);
[0119] Wear an I Motion-S2 inertial sensor on the knee joint and ankle joint of the right lower limb (the surgical side), and set the monitoring period from 8:00 to 20:00 every day;
[0120] Step 2. Dynamic bioimpedance analysis:

[0122]
[0123] Step 3. Extraction of motion characteristics:
[0124] Collect typical gait data on the third day after surgery:

[0126] Rate of change of knee flexion angle: right limb 15° / s vs left limb 22° / s;
[0127] Percentage of ankle dorsiflexion maintenance time: right limb 31% vs left limb 42%;
[0128] Substitute into the motion characteristic formula:
[0129] F motion = 0.4×1.8 + 0.3×∫15dt + 0.3×3100
[0130] = 0.72 + 4.5 + 9.3
