Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of immunopathological diagnosis applied to autoimmune skin diseases, and relates to a transdermal diagnosis device for oral mucosal lesions of autoimmune diseases, a manufacturing method and a use method. Background Art

[0002] Autoimmune diseases are a type of disease that causes destruction of tissues and organs due to immune system disorders, including oral pemphigus, mucosal oral pemphigoid, oral lupus erythematosus, etc. The core feature is that the human body produces autoreactive immune cells and autoantibodies, which recognize and attack skin tissues, leading to chronic inflammation and tissue damage, and can affect the skin, mucosa and other organs. Oral mucosal lesions can be an early manifestation or even the only manifestation of such diseases. At present, pathological biopsy and direct immunofluorescence can be used to distinguish autoimmune and non-autoimmune oral lesions, with both specificity, sensitivity and intuitiveness. However, oral mucosal biopsy is difficult to obtain, and it is easy to aggravate the patient's pain and original mucosal damage. In addition, during the long course of the disease, patients have very poor compliance with multiple biopsies. Although indirect immunofluorescence and ELISA tests overcome the shortcomings of biopsy, the former requires a sensitive substrate, otherwise the positive rate of the test results is low, and the latter is less intuitive. Therefore, developing a minimally invasive, simple, and intuitive method for diagnosing and identifying autoimmune oral mucosal lesions to replace traditional pathological biopsy and immunopathology methods is an important issue for further optimizing the diagnosis of autoimmune diseases.

[0089] The present invention also provides a method for using a transdermal diagnosis device for oral mucosal damage caused by autoimmune diseases, comprising a sampling step and a diagnosis step.

[0090] 1. Sampling procedures; Introduce the transdermal diagnostic device into the patient's oral mucosal lesions, the junction of oral mucosal lesions and normal mucosa, or other locations specified by the physician, and leave it there for 20-40 minutes; For a transdermal diagnostic device whose fixing method is an adhesive method or an adsorption method, the method of introduction is to place the transdermal diagnostic device at the lesion of the oral mucosa.

[0091] For transdermal diagnostic devices whose fixing method is the clamping method, the introduction method is: by pressing the clamp handle, first open the spring connection part of the transdermal diagnostic device, so that the intraoral section splint transfers the transdermal component of the transdermal diagnostic device to the damaged part of the oral mucosa, and then release the clamp handle to close the spring connection part, thereby fixing the transdermal diagnostic device to the oral mucosa through the extraoral section splint and the intraoral section splint.

[0092] After the transdermal component enters the mucosa, the outer coating decomposes, the inner needle absorbs interstitial fluid and swells, and the capture fork on the surface binds to the protein markers in the mucosa.

[0093] 1. Diagnostic steps: The diagnostic steps include incubation with biotinylated detection antibodies, incubation with fluorophores containing streptavidin, and observation with a fluorescence microscope.

[0094] ①, Incubation of biotinylated detection antibody; The transdermal diagnostic device is incubated in 5 ml of PBS solution (i.e., buffer solution) with a biotinylated detection antibody concentration of 2 μg / ml-4 μg / ml at room temperature for 1-2 hours, and then washed with PBS solution.

[0095] ②, Incubation of streptavidin fluorophore; The transdermal diagnostic device was incubated in 5 ml of a PBS solution containing 3 μg / ml to 5 μg / ml streptavidin fluorophore for 30 min to 45 min, and then washed with PBS.

[0096] ③ Observation by fluorescence microscope; The transdermal diagnostic device is observed using a fluorescence microscopy imager, and a corresponding diagnostic result can be obtained based on whether fluorescence is observed. If strong fluorescence is observed, it indicates that the patient may suffer from oral lesions caused by autoimmune diseases, and if weak / no fluorescence is observed, it indicates that the patient may suffer from oral lesions caused by non-autoimmune diseases, or oral lesions caused by other factors. In addition, the specific type of autoimmune disease can be preliminarily identified based on the observed fluorescence pattern, depth, and location.

[0097] Further, the method for preliminary identification of the specific type of autoimmune disease is: Strong fluorescence was observed, suggesting that the patient's oral mucosal damage was caused by an autoimmune disease; The fluorescence was observed to be distributed in a continuous linear pattern near the needle tip of the inner needle body, indicating that the protein marker was deposited in a continuous linear pattern between the mucosal epithelium and the mucosal lamina propria, suggesting that oral mucosal damage may be caused by mucosal oral pemphigoid; The fluorescence was observed to be distributed in the inner needle body near the needle tip in a discontinuous linear or granular manner, indicating that the protein marker was deposited in a discontinuous linear or granular manner between the mucosal epithelium and the mucosal lamina propria, suggesting that oral mucosal damage may be caused by oral lupus erythematosus; It was observed that the fluorescence was irregularly distributed near the needle tip of the inner needle body, indicating that the protein marker was irregularly deposited between the mucosal epithelium and the mucosal lamina propria, suggesting that oral mucosal damage may be caused by lichen planus; Fluorescence was observed to be distributed in a grid-like pattern at the needle tip and the needle body, indicating that the protein marker was deposited between the mucosal epithelial cells, suggesting that oral mucosal damage may be caused by oral pemphigus; Fluorescence was observed, but it was different from the above forms and was deposited in the inner needle body in a non-specific manner, indicating that protein markers were deposited, suggesting that oral mucosal damage may be caused by other autoimmune diseases; Weak / no fluorescence was observed, suggesting that the patient's oral mucosal damage may be caused by non-autoimmune diseases or other factors (such as trauma).
