[0050] This embodiment provides a water-in-oil structured multi-phase liquid bridge electrode device, which includes a tube body. The tube body is a concentric tube, and its structural schematic diagram is as shown in Figure 1 As shown, the tube body includes an inner tube body 1 and an outer tube body 2 arranged coaxially. Both the inner tube body 1 and the outer tube body 2 are cylindrical hollow tube bodies, and their cross-sections are annular. The outer tube body 2 is sleeved outside the inner tube body 1. A first liquid storage cavity 3 is formed inside the inner tube body 1, and a second liquid storage cavity 4 is formed between the inner wall of the outer tube body 2 and the outer wall of the inner tube body 1. A semi-circular covering part 5 is arranged at the top of the first liquid storage cavity 3, and a semi-annular covering part 6 is arranged at the top of the second liquid storage cavity 4. The outer periphery of the semi-annular covering part 6 is connected to the peripheral edge of the upper port of the outer tube body 2, and the inner periphery of the semi-annular covering part 6 is connected to the peripheral edge of the upper port of the inner tube body 1. In the embodiment of the present application, the tube body is a silica gel tube. The lengths of the inner tube body 1 and the outer tube body 2 of the silica gel tube are 6 mm, the inner diameter of the inner tube body 1 is 0.3 mm, the outer diameter is 0.8 mm, the inner diameter of the outer tube body 2 is 1.2 mm, and the outer diameter is 1.5 mm. It is obtained by 3D printing. The silica gel tube has hydrophobic and lipophilic properties. In order to achieve better results, in the embodiment of the present application, polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) is configured into an aqueous solution to perform hydrophilic coating modification on the lower surface of the silicone rubber treated with a silane coupling agent, that is, there is a hydrophilic and lipophilic layer 12 with special hydrophilic treatment at the bottoms of the inner tube body 1 and the outer tube body 2.
[0051] The electrode device provided by the embodiment of the present invention further includes an aqueous conductive liquid, an oil-phase liquid, and an injection device. Among them, the injection device is used to inject the aqueous conductive liquid and the oil-phase liquid into the first liquid storage cavity 3 and the second liquid storage cavity 4 respectively, and form a driving force for the aqueous conductive liquid and the oil-phase liquid to move downward respectively to form a water-in-oil structured multi-phase liquid bridge between the lower port of the tube body and the object to be treated. Specifically, the injection device in the embodiment of the present application is two micro-injection pumps, including a first micro-injection pump for injecting the oil-phase liquid and a second micro-injection pump for injecting the aqueous conductive liquid.
[0052] In the embodiment of the present application, the object to be treated is selected to be a biological tissue 11.
[0053] The embodiment of the present application provides a method for using a water-in-oil structured multi-phase liquid bridge electrode device. Specifically, when performing bioelectrical stimulation, it includes the following steps:
[0054] S1. Fix the tube body above the object to be treated. The distance between the tube body and the object to be treated depends on the application scenario and is a preset value;
[0055] S2. First, use the first micro-injection pump to inject the oil-phase liquid into the second liquid storage cavity 4. As the injection progresses, an oily liquid bridge is gradually formed between the lower part of the outer tube body 2 and the object to be treated, as shown in Figure 2 a, and then stop injecting the oil-phase;
[0056] S3. Then, use the second micro-injection pump to inject the aqueous conductive liquid containing the drug into the inner tube body 1. Since oil and water are immiscible, the aqueous conductive liquid will form a new aqueous conductive liquid bridge containing the drug in the middle of the oil-phase liquid bridge. This liquid bridge expands continuously with the increase of the injection volume of the aqueous conductive liquid, forming a path for electric charges, and thus the water-in-oil multi-phase liquid bridge electrode is formed, as specifically shown in Figure 2 as shown in b;
[0057] S4. Utilize the multi-phase liquid bridge electrode obtained in step S3 to apply electrical stimulation or drug-assisted electrical stimulation by electrifying the metal needle of the syringe. In this step, the absorption of the drug by the biological tissue can be maintained through the continuously increasing inner drug liquid bridge.
[0058] It should be noted here that in the water-in-oil structure, the outer "oil" is an oily liquid harmless to organisms, including vegetable oils and animal oils, and this application does not make any limitations in this regard. The middle water is an ion aqueous solution with conductivity, including physiological saline, etc., and this application does not make any limitations in this regard.
[0059] In the embodiment of this application, a flexible connection is achieved between the tube body and the object to be processed through a water-in-oil multi-phase liquid bridge structure. The water-in-oil structure can transmit electric charges through the middle aqueous conductive liquid (ion solution) to apply electrical stimulation. After the liquid bridge is formed, due to the surface tension of the liquid bridge, the liquid bridge can stably connect the tube body and the object to be processed by using the adhesion of the liquid droplets, thereby ensuring the stability of the electrical stimulation. Combining Figure 3 with the schematic diagram, the principle is elaborated as follows:
[0060] As Figure 3 shown is the stable state of the liquid bridge between the upper and lower interfaces. According to Young's equation, when the liquid bridge is in a stable state, it is mainly affected by the gas-liquid interface tension (γ gl ), the solid-liquid interface tension (γ ls ) and the gas-solid interface tension (γ gs ). Among them, the gas-solid interface tension reaches equilibrium with the horizontal components of the solid-liquid interface tension and the gas-liquid interface tension, and the vertical component of the interface tension on the gas-liquid surface provides an upward adhesion force to bond the upper and lower interfaces. Since a fluid liquid bridge is used, for the displacement during the movement of the lower interface, it has partial self-adaptability. The liquid bridge can flexibly and adaptively deform with the slight movement of the upper and lower interfaces. The deformation schematic diagram is as shown in Figure 4 . In this way, even when the distance between the upper and lower interfaces changes slightly due to the movement of the lower interface, the fluid liquid bridge can adapt to this unstable change and maintain the stability of charge transfer.
[0061] Implementing electrical stimulation through the multi-phase fluid liquid bridge transfers the electron-ion charge conversion and transportation that originally occurred on the surface of the object to be processed to the inner electrode of the pipeline. Taking the biological tissue 11 as the object to be processed, inFigure 5a and Figure 5b In the conventional electrode shown in Figure 5b , the contact area between the electrode region 7 (electronic charge) and the region 8 to be modulated (ionic charge) is small, so the charge injection ability during electrical stimulation is poor; in Figure 5c and Figure 5d In the device of the present application shown in Figure 5d , the contact area between the electrode region 9 (electronic charge) and the aqueous phase region 10 (ionic charge) is large, and the charge injection ability is strong. Also, since both ends of the liquid storage cavity are connected to the outside, the large area and openness of the electrode inside the inner tube body 1 greatly improve its ion injection ability. At the same time, its electrode impedance is relatively small due to the larger electrode area. Moreover, transferring the electron-ion charge conversion to the inside of the inner tube body 1 is also beneficial to reducing the damage of the interfacial reaction to the biological tissue 11 and improving the biocompatibility of the electrode.
[0062] Regarding the process of forming a multiphase liquid bridge in the entire concentric tube structure, we carried out corresponding simulations based on the COMSOL simulation software. The simulation parameters are as follows: Set the radius of the internal aqueous phase channel to 0.3 mm, set the radius of the external oil phase to 0.6 mm, set the default oil phase and aqueous phase parameters in COSMSOL to be used, set the injection speed of the oil phase to be 2 mm / s when injecting first, and the injection time to be 2 s; set the aqueous phase to be injected later, with an injection speed of 2 mm / s and an injection time of 1 s. The simulation results are as Figure 6 shown. Figure 6 The light-colored part in Figure 6 is the oil phase, and the dark-colored part is the aqueous phase. Figure 6 a is the initial state, and neither oil nor water is injected; with the injection, an oily liquid bridge gradually forms in the structure below the outer concentric tube, as shown in Figure 6 b - c; then, stop injecting the oil phase, and continuously inject the drug (conductive liquid) into the inner concentric tube, and gradually form an increasing inner drug liquid bridge to maintain the absorption of the drug by the biological tissue, as shown in Figure 6 c - d. This simulation is completely consistent with our previous analysis.
[0063] It should be noted here that using a micro syringe is only one implementation manner of the present application, and it can also be other syringes or samplers, and the present application does not make any limitations in this regard. The amounts of the aqueous phase conductive liquid and the oil phase conductive liquid extracted should depend on the specific size of the tube body. The above extraction amounts are only one implementation manner of the present application, and the present application does not make any limitations in this regard.
[0064] The principle for maintaining stability after the formation of the multiphase fluid liquid bridge structure of this electrode is explained as follows:
[0065] As Figure 7 shown, the liquid column in the silica gel tube will generate a hydraulic pressure difference on the lower oil phase (the pressure of the aqueous phase on the lower part is P 重 = ρ 水 gh, where ρ 水is the density of the aqueous phase in the liquid column, g is the gravitational constant, and h is the height of the liquid column; for the oil phase, the pressure on the lower part is P’ 重 = ρ 油 gh, where ρ 油 is the density of the oil phase in the liquid column), thus pressing the aqueous solution into the oil phase to form a liquid bridge structure.
[0066] Combined with the Laplace equation, the total downward pressure P0 of the aqueous phase is
[0067] P0 = P 重 + P2 = ρ 水 gh + γ 水 / R (1)
[0068] where, P 重 is the gravity caused by the aqueous phase in the inner tube, P2 is the surface tension at the inlet end of the aqueous phase in the inner tube, γ 水 is the surface tension coefficient of water and air, R is the curvature radius of the upper liquid column, and from the geometric relationship, R = L / (2cosα), so R is mainly affected by the hydrophilicity of the silica gel tube (expressed as the contact angle α) and the diameter L of the upper inner tube;
[0069] The total downward pressure P‘0 of the oil phase is
[0070] P‘0 = P’ 重 + P’2 = ρ 油 gh + γ 油 / R1 (2)
[0071] where, P’ 重 is the gravity caused by the oil phase in the outer tube, P’2 is the surface tension at the inlet end of the oil phase in the outer tube, γ 油 is the surface tension coefficient of oil and air, R1 is the curvature radius of the upper liquid column, and from the geometric relationship, R1 = L‘ / (2cosθ), so R1 is mainly affected by the lipophilicity of the silica gel tube (expressed as the contact angle θ) and the diameter L‘ of the upper outer tube. From equations (1) and (2), it can be seen that as the aqueous liquid column enters the lower oil phase, the height of the aqueous liquid column decreases, P 重 becomes smaller, and the value of R is relatively large and basically remains unchanged, so P0 becomes smaller;
[0072] When the aqueous phase enters the lower oil phase, due to the immiscibility of oil and water, a water-in-oil structure will be formed between the silica gel tube and the biological nerve tissue. In this liquid bridge structure, an upward Laplace surface tension will be generated (and is mainly affected by it), and its total upward pressure is
[0073] P1 = γ 油水 / R2 (3)
[0074] P’1 = γ 油 / R3 (4)
[0075] Among them, P1 is the upward pressure generated by the aqueous liquid bridge at the lower end after injecting the aqueous phase due to the interfacial tension, P’1 is the upward pressure generated by the oil phase at the lower end due to the interfacial tension, and γ 油水 is the surface tension coefficient of the oil-water phase, γ 油 is the surface tension coefficient of the oil and air, R2 is the radius of curvature of the aqueous liquid bridge at the lower end, R3 is the radius of curvature of the oil phase liquid bridge at the lower end. From the geometric relationship, it can be known that R2 = S / (2cosβ) and therefore R2 is mainly affected by the hydrophilicity of the lower bottom surface of the silica gel tube (manifested as the contact angle β) and the distance S between the silica gel tube and the surface of the biological tissue. R3 is mainly affected by the lipophilicity of the lower bottom surface of the silica gel tube (manifested as the contact angle ).) and the distance S between the silica gel tube and the surface of the biological tissue. As the aqueous liquid column enters the lower oil phase, since R2 and R3 remain basically unchanged, P1 and P’1 also remain basically unchanged.
[0076] As P0 and P‘0 become smaller while P1 and P’1 remain unchanged, the two finally reach a force balance, and the overall structure enters a stable state.
[0077] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present application and is not used to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, various changes and modifications can be made to the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included within the protection scope of the present application.
