For example, multiple systems refer to two or more systems, and multiple screen terminals refer to two or more screen terminals.

[0022] This embodiment discloses a method for measuring Helicobacter pylori, which is applied to a Helicobacter pylori measuring instrument. Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the process of measuring Helicobacter pylori disclosed in the embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 1 As shown, the method comprises the following steps: S110, acquiring the signal amplitude of each collected signal in the gas collection card, and converting the signal amplitude into an energy spectrum array to obtain a standard card energy spectrum array; Gas collection cards are specially designed cards used to collect and store gases released from samples being tested (such as breath samples). These gases may contain radioactive isotopes associated with Helicobacter pylori (such as 14 C). When the gas collecting card is exposed to the sample to be tested and collects the gas, the gas will decay inside the gas collecting card and release radioactive particles. These particles will be captured by the detector (such as a scintillation detector or a semiconductor detector) on the gas collecting card and converted into electrical signals. Each collected electrical signal represents the energy deposition of a radioactive particle, and its signal amplitude reflects the energy size of the particle. Use appropriate electronic devices (such as analog-to-digital converters, ADC) to collect these electrical signals and measure their signal amplitudes. These signal amplitudes are usually expressed in the form of voltage or current. The energy spectrum array is an array used to store particle counts at different energy values. The index of the array represents the energy value of the particle (usually expressed as an address or energy channel), and the element value of the array represents the number of particles captured at this energy value. Map each collected signal amplitude to the corresponding index of the energy spectrum array. This usually involves converting the signal amplitude into an energy value and finding the corresponding energy spectrum array index. For each signal amplitude, the element value of the corresponding energy spectrum array index position is increased by one to indicate that a particle has been captured at this energy value. By performing the above conversion on all the collected signal amplitudes, a complete energy spectrum array can be formed, namely the standard card energy spectrum array. This array contains the energy distribution information of all particles captured from the gas collection card. The standard card energy spectrum array is the basis for subsequent analysis.

[0023] Optionally, the acquiring the signal amplitude of each collected signal in the gas collection card, and converting the signal amplitude into an energy spectrum array to obtain a standard card energy spectrum array includes: Determine an initial array interval according to a resolution of the analog-to-digital converter, and initialize each element in the initial array interval to zero; The signal amplitude of each collected signal in the gas collecting card is collected by the analog-to-digital converter, the analog-to-digital converter value corresponding to each signal amplitude is used as the index of the energy spectrum array, and the array element value corresponding to the index position is increased by one; All collected signals are accumulated to form a standard card energy spectrum array.

[0024] Determine an initial array range based on the resolution of the analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The resolution of the ADC determines the smallest signal change it can distinguish. For example, if the ADC resolution is 12 bits, then the signal range it can represent is from 0 to 4096 (2 12 ). Based on this resolution, create an array (or list) large enough, whose index range covers all possible values ​​that the ADC may output. Each element in the array is initialized to zero, indicating that no signal amplitude is recorded at the beginning. Use the ADC to collect the signal amplitude of each acquisition point in the gas collection card. These signal amplitudes represent the energy levels produced by different gas components or radioactive substances. Use each acquired signal amplitude as an index of the energy spectrum array. This means that if the signal amplitude output by the ADC is 100, then the value of the element indexed at 100 in the energy spectrum array is increased by one. For each specific signal amplitude (or energy level), record how many times this amplitude is detected. Through the above steps, each element in the array accumulates a value, which represents the number of times the corresponding signal amplitude (or energy level) is detected. When all the acquired signals are processed, this array forms a standard card energy spectrum array. This array can be used to analyze the composition of the gas or the energy distribution of the radioactive substance, because different gas components or radioactive substances will produce energy distributions with different characteristics.

[0025] Determining the initial array interval by the resolution of the analog-to-digital converter (ADC) can ensure that the signal amplitude is accurately quantized to the corresponding array index. The higher the resolution of the ADC, the smaller the difference in signal amplitude that can be distinguished, thereby improving the quantization accuracy. Using the signal amplitude as the index of the energy spectrum array and adding one to the array element value at the corresponding index position can intuitively represent the frequency or number of occurrences of different signal amplitudes. This form of energy spectrum array helps to analyze the distribution characteristics and statistical characteristics of the signal. By accumulating all the collected signals to form a standard card energy spectrum array, a large amount of data can be efficiently processed and representative energy spectrum characteristics can be obtained. This method can significantly improve data processing efficiency and accuracy when processing complex signal data. The obtained standard card energy spectrum array can be used as the basic data for subsequent analysis and comparison. By comparing with the energy spectrum array under different conditions, the change law, abnormal characteristics and other information of the signal can be analyzed, providing strong support for fault diagnosis, environmental monitoring and other fields.

[0026] S120, obtaining the energy distribution interval of the preset element in the energy spectrum array by subtracting the background card array from the standard card energy spectrum array; The standard card energy spectrum array is obtained by collecting the signal amplitude of each signal in the gas collection card and converting it into an energy spectrum form. It contains the particle energy distribution information generated by the decay of all radioactive isotopes in the sample being tested. The background card array is an energy spectrum array obtained by collecting gas collection cards that are not exposed to the sample being tested (i.e., blank or control samples). It represents the particle energy distribution generated by the decay of naturally existing radioactive isotopes in the environment when there is no sample being tested. The purpose of subtracting the background card array is to eliminate the influence of naturally existing radioactive isotopes in the environment on the measurement results, so as to more accurately identify the particles that are related to the preset elements (such as 14 C) related energy distribution interval. For each energy channel (or channel address) in the standard card energy spectrum array and the background card array, subtract the corresponding count in the background card array from the count in the standard card array. In this way, the difference represents the net count of the preset element in the sample under test in this energy channel. Through this step, a new energy spectrum array can be obtained, which only contains the energy distribution information related to the preset elements in the sample under test. This new energy spectrum array will be used for subsequent analysis and measurement. The energy distribution interval refers to the preset elements (such as 14 C) The continuous energy channel range occupied by the generated particle energy distribution. In the energy spectrum array obtained after subtracting the background card array, by looking for the continuous non-zero (or exceeding a certain threshold) energy channel range, the energy distribution range of the preset element can be determined. This range is usually located in a specific area of ​​the energy spectrum and is related to the type and decay characteristics of the preset element in the sample being tested. 14The energy of C is very weak, and its signal is concentrated in the low-energy region of the energy spectrum, that is, the front end of the array. 14 The peak energy of C's β-ray is 156.476keV, the average energy is 49.47keV, and the peak energy is about 80keV, which is a weak β-ray. Figure 2 It is the β source disclosed in the embodiment of this application 14 C detects the β-ray spectrum of carbon powder. And the higher the high pressure, 14 The maximum energy boundary of C moves to the right.

[0027] Optionally, the step of obtaining the energy distribution interval of the preset element in the energy spectrum array by subtracting the background card array from the standard card energy spectrum array includes: Subtracting a first energy count of a target energy value in the standard card energy spectrum array from a second energy count of a target energy value in the background card array to obtain a target energy count of the target energy value, wherein the target energy value is any energy value in the standard card energy spectrum array; All target energy values ​​whose target energy count is greater than a first threshold are determined, and energy distribution intervals are constructed according to all the target energy values.

[0028] "Target energy value" refers to any energy value in the standard card energy spectrum array. This energy value represents the amount of energy deposited by the radioactive particles captured by the detector. "First energy count" refers to the particle count corresponding to the target energy value in the standard card energy spectrum array. This count reflects the number of particles with this energy value produced by the decay of radioactive isotopes in the sample being tested. "Second energy count" refers to the particle count corresponding to the same target energy value in the background card array. This count reflects the number of particles with this energy value produced by the decay of radioactive isotopes naturally existing in the environment when there is no sample being tested. Subtract the first energy count in the standard card energy spectrum array from the second energy count in the background card array, and the resulting target energy count represents the preset element in the sample being tested ( 14 C) The net particle count generated at this energy value. The first threshold can be determined based on the detector performance and the characteristics of the sample being tested. Only when the target energy count is greater than the first threshold is the count at this energy value considered to be related to the preset element. Traverse all energy values ​​in the energy spectrum array of the standard card, calculate the target energy count at each energy value, and compare it with the first threshold. Filter out all energy values ​​whose target energy counts are greater than the first threshold. Sort all the filtered target energy values ​​according to energy size to form a continuous energy range. This range is the energy distribution interval of the preset element in the energy spectrum array. This interval usually includes all energy values ​​related to the preset element in the sample being tested, providing important information for subsequent measurement and analysis.

[0029] By subtracting the first energy count of each target energy value in the standard card energy spectrum array from the second energy count of the corresponding target energy value in the background card array, the target energy count of each target energy value can be accurately calculated. This process eliminates the influence of background noise and background radiation, making the identification of target energy values ​​more accurate. By determining all target energy values ​​whose target energy counts are greater than the first threshold, it is possible to screen out those that are related to the preset elements (such as 14 C) related signals. This step improves the sensitivity of the measurement, so that even if the content of the target element is low, it can be effectively identified. The energy distribution interval is constructed based on all target energy values ​​(i.e., the energy value whose target energy count is greater than the first threshold), which can accurately reflect the energy distribution characteristics of the preset element in the energy spectrum array. This interval provides a reliable basis for subsequent analysis and measurement.

[0030] S130, determining a low threshold channel address and a high threshold channel address of the energy spectrum array, and determining whether the gas collection card is contaminated according to a first energy spectrum count greater than the high threshold channel address in the energy distribution interval; The energy spectrum array usually records the energy counts corresponding to each channel address. In order to analyze the energy distribution more intuitively, especially for 14 For radioactive isotopes such as C that have a specific energy signature, logarithms (base 10) are often applied to the energy spectrum array to more easily identify characteristic regions of the energy distribution. 14 The place where the net logarithmic spectrum of C approaches 0 is 14 The left boundary L is the starting point of the energy zone boundary, called the low threshold track address, and the right boundary H is the end point of the energy zone boundary, called the high threshold track address. The energy zones to the left of L and to the right of H are non 14 C energy range. The energy spectrum counts below L (to the left of L) are considered as noise counts. These counts do not include relevant 14 The energy spectrum counts above H (to the right of H) are considered as non-significant. 14 C. These signals may be caused by other nuclide contamination or abnormal events. When the counts of these high-energy signals increase abnormally, it can be considered that the gas collector may be contaminated. Specifically, by monitoring the first energy spectrum count greater than the H channel address, it can be determined whether the gas collector is contaminated. When it is determined that the gas collector is contaminated, the high-energy false counts caused by contamination need to be deducted from the total counts between LH. These false counts will interfere with the 14 An accurate measurement of the true concentration of C. By deducting the false counts, a more accurate 14 C measurement results.

[0031] Optionally, determining the low threshold channel address and the high threshold channel address of the energy spectrum array includes: Converting the energy spectrum array of the energy distribution interval into a logarithmic form to obtain a new energy spectrum array; In the new energy spectrum array, the steepest rising edge and the steepest falling edge of the energy distribution are identified, the track address corresponding to the starting point of the steepest rising edge is determined as the low threshold track address, and the track address corresponding to the end point of the steepest falling edge is determined as the high threshold track address.

[0032] In the new energy spectrum array, the energy distribution usually presents specific characteristics. For radioactive isotopes, their energy distribution is usually most concentrated in a specific energy range, forming an obvious peak area. The steepest rising edge refers to the part where the count increases the fastest when the energy distribution transitions from the low energy area to the high energy area. The starting point of this rising edge usually corresponds to the starting point of the energy distribution, that is, the low threshold channel address. The steepest falling edge refers to the part where the count decreases the fastest when the energy distribution transitions from the high energy area to the low energy area. The end point of this falling edge usually corresponds to the end point of the energy distribution, that is, the high threshold channel address. By identifying the starting point of the steepest rising edge and the end point of the steepest falling edge, the low threshold channel address and the high threshold channel address can be determined. These two threshold channels will be used to define the effective interval of the energy distribution, thereby extracting the relevant information. 14 C related valid count.

[0033] Converting the energy spectrum array to logarithmic form can significantly enhance the visualization of the energy distribution, making the difference between the energy peak and the background noise more obvious. This helps to more accurately identify the characteristic area of ​​the energy distribution, providing strong support for the subsequent determination of the threshold channel address. By identifying the steepest rising edge and the steepest falling edge of the energy distribution, the low threshold channel address and the high threshold channel address can be accurately determined. This method avoids the subjectivity and uncertainty of manually setting the threshold and improves the accuracy and reliability of threshold determination. The threshold channel address is determined by mathematical operations and automatic recognition technology, avoiding tedious manual operations and optimizing the data processing process. This helps to improve measurement efficiency and accuracy while reducing the risk of human error. Accurately determined low threshold channel addresses and high threshold channel addresses can ensure that only valid energy distribution intervals are analyzed, thereby avoiding interference from background noise and other irrelevant signals. This helps to enhance the robustness and reliability of the measurement results and provide strong support for subsequent analysis and decision-making.

[0034] Optionally, determining whether the gas collection card is contaminated according to the first energy spectrum count greater than the high threshold channel address in the energy distribution interval includes: Determining whether the first energy spectrum count is greater than a second threshold; When the first energy spectrum count is greater than the second threshold, determining that the gas collection card is contaminated; When the first energy spectrum count is less than or equal to the second threshold, it is determined that the gas collection card is not contaminated.

[0035] In the determined energy distribution interval, especially in the area above the high threshold channel address, calculate the first energy spectrum count. This count represents the intensity of high energy events, which may be caused by contamination or other abnormal signals. Set a reasonable second threshold based on actual application requirements, instrument performance, background noise level and other factors. The second threshold is used to distinguish normal signals from possible contaminated signals. If the first energy spectrum count is greater than the second threshold, it indicates that the gas collection card may be contaminated. At this time, it is necessary to remove the count generated by the contamination during the calculation. If the first energy spectrum count is less than or equal to the second threshold, it indicates that the gas collection card is not contaminated and can continue to be used or proceed to the next step of analysis.

[0036] By setting the second threshold and comparing the first energy spectrum count with it, it is possible to more accurately determine whether the gas collection card is contaminated. This method avoids the one-sidedness of judging based on a single count value and improves the accuracy and reliability of the judgment. The contamination status of the gas collection card is automatically determined through mathematical operations and threshold judgments, avoiding tedious manual operations and the subjectivity of human judgment. This helps to optimize the pollution monitoring process and improve monitoring efficiency and accuracy. By reasonably setting the second threshold, the false alarm rate and the missed alarm rate can be balanced. A threshold that is too high may lead to missed alarms, that is, failure to detect contamination in time; while a threshold that is too low may lead to false alarms, that is, mistakenly believing that the gas collection card is contaminated. By accurately setting the threshold, the false alarm and missed alarm rates can be reduced, and the accuracy and reliability of the judgment can be improved.

[0037] S140. When the gas collection card is not contaminated, determine the content of the preset element according to the second energy spectrum count between the low threshold channel address and the high threshold channel address in the energy distribution interval, and determine the measurement result of Helicobacter pylori according to the content.

[0038] By comparing the first energy spectrum count greater than the high threshold channel address with the preset second threshold, it can be determined whether the gas collection card is contaminated. If the first energy spectrum count does not exceed the second threshold, it is confirmed that the gas collection card is in an uncontaminated state. After confirming that the gas collection card is uncontaminated, the energy spectrum interval between the low threshold channel address and the high threshold channel address is focused on. This interval usually contains energy distribution related to the preset element (such as the radioactive isotope used to label Helicobacter pylori). From the energy spectrum array, the second energy spectrum count of this specific interval is extracted. This count reflects the cumulative amount of the preset element on the gas collection card and is closely related to the content of Helicobacter pylori. Using a known calibration curve or mathematical model, the second energy spectrum count can be converted into the accurate content of the preset element. This process usually involves factors such as the sensitivity of the energy spectrometer, the energy resolution, and the decay characteristics of the preset element. Based on the content of the preset element, the measurement result of Helicobacter pylori can be inferred. This inference may be based on the quantitative relationship between the preset element and Helicobacter pylori, such as the binding ratio of the radioactive isotope to Helicobacter pylori achieved by labeling technology. Present the Helicobacter pylori measurement results in an appropriate form (such as numerical values, charts or reports) for further analysis and decision-making.

[0039] Optionally, the determination of the measurement result of Helicobacter pylori according to the content includes: comparing the content to a third threshold; When the content is less than the third threshold value, the measurement result of Helicobacter pylori is determined to be negative; When the content is greater than or equal to the third threshold, the measurement result of Helicobacter pylori is determined to be positive.

[0040] For example, the third threshold is set to 100, which is a critical threshold value used to distinguish whether the measurement result of Helicobacter pylori is negative or positive. The setting of the third threshold is usually based on experimental data, statistical analysis, and clinical needs. After the third threshold is determined, the preset element obtained from the energy spectrum analysis (in this case, 14 C) is compared with the third threshold. When DPM ( 14 When DPM is greater than or equal to the third threshold, the measurement result of Helicobacter pylori is determined to be negative. This means that under the current measurement conditions, sufficient C-14 radioactive signals are not detected to confirm the presence of Helicobacter pylori. When DPM is greater than or equal to the third threshold, the measurement result of Helicobacter pylori is determined to be positive. This indicates that under the current measurement conditions, sufficient C-14 radioactive signals are detected to confirm the presence of Helicobacter pylori.

[0041] By setting a clear third threshold and comparing the actual measured content with it, the measurement results of Helicobacter pylori can be judged more accurately. This method avoids the subjectivity and uncertainty of judgment based on experience or intuitive feelings alone, and improves the accuracy and reliability of judgment. By setting a fixed third threshold, a unified standard is provided for the measurement of Helicobacter pylori. This helps to standardize the measurement process and ensure the consistency and comparability of measurement results between different times, different people, and different equipment. The measurement results can be obtained through simple comparison operations without complex calculations or analysis processes. This helps to improve measurement efficiency and makes the measurement of Helicobacter pylori faster and more convenient.

[0042] Optionally, the method further includes: When the gas collection card is contaminated, calculating a first difference between the first energy spectrum count and the second threshold; A second difference between the second energy spectrum count and the first difference is calculated, and the content of the preset element is determined according to the second difference, and the measurement result of Helicobacter pylori is determined according to the content.

[0043] After confirming that the gas collection card is contaminated, the difference between the first energy spectrum count and the second threshold value, i.e., the first difference value, is calculated. The first difference value reflects the degree of influence of other factors (such as background noise, impurities, etc.) on the energy spectrum count on the gas collection card in addition to the preset element. By calculating the first difference value, this part of the influence can be quantified and taken into account in subsequent calculations. The difference between the second energy spectrum count located between the low threshold channel address and the high threshold channel address and the first difference value is calculated, i.e., the second difference value. The second difference value actually reflects the true accumulation of the preset element on the gas collection card, because it has excluded the influence of factors such as background noise and impurities. Using the second difference value, the accurate content of the preset element can be calculated by combining factors such as the sensitivity, energy resolution, and decay characteristics of the preset element of the energy spectrometer through a known calibration curve or mathematical model. Finally, based on the content of the preset element, the measurement result of Helicobacter pylori can be inferred. This inference may be based on the quantitative relationship between the preset element and Helicobacter pylori, such as the binding ratio of the radioactive isotope to Helicobacter pylori achieved by labeling technology. If the content of the preset element exceeds a certain threshold (which may be based on experimental data or statistical analysis), the measurement result of Helicobacter pylori is judged to be positive; otherwise, it is judged to be negative.

[0044] By calculating the first difference (i.e., the difference between the first energy spectrum count and the second threshold) and the second difference (i.e., the difference between the second energy spectrum count and the first difference), the preset element (e.g., 14C) The actual content on the gas collection card. This method reduces the measurement deviation caused by instrument errors, environmental factors, etc., and improves the measurement accuracy. By introducing the difference calculation, the measurement process is simplified. Without the need for additional complex operations, the content of the preset elements can be obtained through simple mathematical operations, and the measurement results of Helicobacter pylori can be judged accordingly. This helps save measurement time, reduce operational difficulty, and improve measurement efficiency.

[0045] The Helicobacter pylori measuring instrument in the embodiment of the present application uses a single photomultiplier tube (PMT) coupled with a thin-layer plastic scintillator as a photoelectric detection component. The PMT and the thin-layer plastic scintillator are coupled through optical silicone grease. The detection distance from the measuring component to the measured object is reduced to the shortest under existing conditions. Under the same detection conditions, the shorter the detection distance, the higher the detection efficiency, thereby ensuring high detection efficiency. The embodiment of the present application is based on the energy discrimination ability of the thin-layer plastic scintillator and the PMT detector. The greater the energy of the ray, the higher the signal amplitude. By collecting the amplitude of each signal, the detection efficiency is 14 C standard card accurate division 14 The distribution interval of the C signal is used to identify and deduct non 14 C signal. And when the gas collection card is contaminated by radon daughters or other nuclides, it can be effectively identified and deducted, ensuring the accuracy of the measurement results. The use of thinner plastic flash can not only meet 14 The energy deposition of β-rays of C can reduce the response to the environmental background rays, and by minimizing the detection distance and appropriately increasing the shielding material, the background can be lower than that of the traditional GM tube, but the efficiency is higher. Compared with the traditional GM tube measurement method, the embodiment of the present application not only reduces the background, but also improves the detection efficiency, and can also deduct the false counts caused by non-14C signals.
