[0002] Cartilage tissue damage and degeneration is a common pathological condition, which is particularly prominent in diseases such as osteoarthritis. The repair of cartilage tissue has become a hot topic in modern regenerative medicine research because it lacks blood vessels and nerve supply, has low metabolic capacity, and has limited repair effects.
[0003] At present, the main methods of cartilage repair include: (1) cell therapy, which achieves cartilage regeneration by implanting chondrocytes or stem cells; (2) biomaterial scaffolds, which use tissue engineering scaffolds to promote cartilage formation and repair; (3) gene therapy, which regulates the expression of cartilage repair-related factors through gene transfection; (4) electroporation technology, which uses high-voltage electric fields to achieve gene transfection and improve the efficiency of targeted repair. Among them, the combination of gene therapy and electroporation technology has gradually become a research focus. However, existing technologies still have shortcomings in controlling electroporation parameters, improving gene transfection efficiency and targeting.
[0004] With the development of artificial intelligence, image processing and automated control technologies, research on combining multimodal imaging data with algorithm analysis and dynamically adjusting treatment parameters has gradually emerged. This trend has promoted the development of more accurate and efficient cartilage repair technologies.
[0005] Although the existing cartilage repair technology has made certain progress, it still has the following shortcomings: traditional gene transfection technology has the problem of low efficiency, making it difficult to achieve efficient gene expression, and the electroporation parameters are usually preset and lack a dynamic adjustment mechanism, making it impossible to optimize the repair effect based on real-time evaluation results; existing technologies usually rely on manual experiments, fail to make full use of real-time monitoring data to intelligently control the process, lack quantitative analysis and feedback adjustment of cartilage repair effects, resulting in poor experimental repeatability and high time cost; in multimodal imaging and histological analysis, the ability to integrate data is limited, making it difficult to achieve a comprehensive evaluation of cartilage repair effects; there is a lack of efficient methods for using computer algorithms to achieve parameter optimization and dynamic adjustment of strategies; traditional cartilage repair technology usually requires high-precision instruments and complex experimental conditions, which increases the cost and difficulty of the experiment, and lacks a systematic automated process design, resulting in low efficiency and difficulty in meeting actual needs.

Through simulation and verification steps, resource waste is avoided and the efficient use of gene vectors is ensured. According to the actual situation of cartilage damage, specific gene vectors are designed to achieve personalized repair strategies.
[0028] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in the above-mentioned intelligent control method for irreversible electroporation regeneration of cartilage tissue, the candidate target genes include:
[0029] IL-1Ra is an interleukin-1 receptor antagonist used to inhibit inflammatory response and reduce cartilage damage.

[0033] Its technical effects are as follows: interleukin-1 receptor antagonists, as anti-inflammatory factors, can inhibit inflammatory responses, especially the common inflammatory processes in diseases such as osteoarthritis, and reduce cartilage damage and degenerative changes by inhibiting the excessive effects of interleukin-1 (IL-1) in cartilage tissue; transforming growth factor-β is a powerful cell proliferation and differentiation factor, which has a significant effect on chondrocytes (such as chondrocyte progenitor cells), not only promoting the proliferation of chondrocytes, but also stimulating their differentiation into mature chondrocytes, while inhibiting the apoptosis of chondrocytes, thus providing a new way for the treatment of cartilage diseases. Bone repair provides the necessary cellular support; BMPs bone morphogenetic proteins can promote the synthesis of cartilage matrix, increase the deposition of extracellular matrix of cartilage cells, accelerate the repair of cartilage tissue, and further promote the structural reconstruction of cartilage by activating specific receptors of osteoblast precursor cells and chondrocytes; Col2a1 collagen type II gene is a gene specifically expressed by chondrocytes, mainly encoding one of the most important components in cartilage matrix - collagen type II, which can enhance the synthesis and stability of cartilage matrix, especially promote the synthesis of collagen type II, and help enhance the mechanical properties and durability of cartilage. The combined application of these genes coordinates with each other through their respective mechanisms of action, effectively accelerates the cartilage damage repair process, improves the repair effect, and ensures that the cartilage tissue has better functionality and structural integrity after repair, providing precise gene carrier design and regulation solutions for personalized cartilage repair.
[0034] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in the above-mentioned intelligent control method for irreversible electroporation regeneration of cartilage tissue, the electroporation process is implemented to introduce the specific gene vector into the target cartilage tissue, including:
[0035] The solution containing the specific gene vector is injected into the target cartilage tissue area.
[0036] Set the electroporation parameters according to the properties of the target tissue and the requirements of the osteoarthritis model.
[0037] According to the preset electric field strength, pulse width, frequency and number parameters, electric pulses are applied, and the high-intensity electric field generated in a short time causes pores to be instantly formed in the cell membrane, and the specific gene carrier enters the target cell through the pores.
[0038] After the electroporation process is completed, the electric field application is immediately stopped, the cell membrane pores are closed, and the electroporation process is stopped.
[0039] The technical effect is that the non-invasive characteristics of the electroporation technology of the present invention and the application of the intelligent control system can efficiently and accurately introduce gene vectors into chondrocytes, significantly improve the transfection efficiency of cartilage repair factors, and provide sufficient gene support for cartilage repair. By precisely controlling the electroporation parameters, damage to non-target cells is avoided, while cell damage and adverse reactions are reduced, ensuring that chondrocytes can perform their biological functions normally during the repair process.
[0040] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in the above-mentioned intelligent control method for irreversible electroporation regeneration of cartilage tissue, the real-time monitoring of gene transfection efficiency and expression level and the dynamic adjustment of electroporation parameters according to the real-time monitoring data include:
[0041] Fluorescent proteins were used as markers to calculate transfection efficiency by fluorescence intensity. Where E(t) is the gene transfection efficiency at time t, N fluorescent (t) is the number of fluorescently labeled cells observed at time t, N total (t) is the total number of cells.
[0042] Define gene expression level A(t) = α·I fluorescent (t), where A(t) is the gene expression level at time t, α is the constant ratio between fluorescence intensity and gene expression level, and I fluorescent (t) is the fluorescence intensity at time t.
[0043] According to the real-time monitoring data, the electroporation parameters are dynamically adjusted, and the electroporation parameters include the electric field strength E field (t), pulse width τ(t) and pulse number N pulse,0 .
[0044] The electric field strength Among them, E field (t) is the electric field strength at time t, E field,0 is the initial electric field strength, E target Target transfection efficiency.
[0045] The pulse width Among them, τ(t) is the pulse width at time t, τ0 is the initial pulse width, A target is the target gene expression level.
[0046] The number of pulses Among them, is the number of pulses at time t, and is the initial number of pulses.
[0047] If the gene transfection efficiency E(t) is lower than the target transfection efficiency E target , then increase the electric field strength or the number of pulses.
[0048] If the gene expression level A(t) is lower than the target gene expression level A target , then adjust the pulse width or optimize the electric field configuration.
[0049] Its technical effect is that real-time monitoring and dynamic adjustment of electroporation parameters can maintain the best effect during gene transfection, avoiding experimental failure or unsatisfactory repair effect caused by low transfection efficiency. If the transfection efficiency is lower than the target efficiency, the system improves the transfection efficiency by increasing the electric field strength or the number of pulses, and improves the expression level of the repair factor in chondrocytes; by continuously adjusting electroporation parameters such as pulse width and pulse number, the gene expression level is optimized. If the gene expression level is lower than the target expression level, the pulse width can be adjusted or the electric field configuration can be optimized to further improve the gene expression level, thereby ensuring the effectiveness and stability of the repair factor in cartilage tissue. The present invention provides an adaptive control system based on feedback data, which adjusts the electric field strength, pulse width and pulse number in real time, so that the effect of each electroporation process can reach the preset target, avoiding the errors that may be caused by manual control, and improving the accuracy and stability of the operation.
[0050] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in the above-mentioned intelligent control method for irreversible electroporation regeneration of cartilage tissue, the evaluation of cartilage regeneration and functional recovery by multimodal imaging and histological methods includes:
[0051] Through micro-computed tomography, three-dimensional reconstruction data of cartilage and bone tissue images were obtained, and the density, thickness, and volume information of cartilage and subchondral bone were recorded. The cartilage area was extracted using an image analysis algorithm, and the changes in cartilage thickness and bone density were calculated. By comparing the results of different experimental groups, the effect of cartilage repair was quantitatively evaluated.
[0052] The biochemical state of cartilage was obtained through magnetic resonance imaging, and the hydration and structural changes of cartilage were analyzed using T2-weighted imaging sequences. Combined with image feature extraction algorithms, the repair of cartilage was evaluated.
[0053] Through ultrasound imaging, a high-frequency ultrasound probe is used to scan the surface of the cartilage to generate an elastic image of the cartilage. An elastic recovery algorithm is used to analyze the elastic changes of the cartilage and evaluate the functional recovery of the cartilage.
[0054] Its technical effect is: by extracting cartilage areas through image analysis algorithms, and using high-resolution three-dimensional imaging data, the structural changes in the cartilage repair process can be accurately quantified, especially the changes in cartilage thickness, volume and bone density, which provides a reliable basis for the quantitative evaluation of cartilage repair effects. Through T2-weighted imaging MRI scanning, the improvement of cartilage hydration can be accurately reflected, and the biochemical state of cartilage repair can be evaluated. The hydration of cartilage is closely related to its structure and function. Good hydration of cartilage means that its function is well restored. Through ultrasonic elastic imaging technology, the elastic changes of cartilage are evaluated in real time and non-invasively, and the functional recovery of cartilage is evaluated. Multiple monitoring is performed during the cartilage repair process, thereby improving the comprehensiveness and accuracy of the evaluation of cartilage repair effects. The multimodal imaging method and custom algorithm used improve the automation and standardization level of cartilage repair evaluation, and provide data support for subsequent electroporation parameter adjustment and gene transfection strategy optimization.

[0057] If the R value is higher than the preset range, it indicates that the cartilage repair effect is good and it is necessary to reduce the gene transfection dose or electroporation intensity to avoid excessive repair.
[0058] If the R value is lower than the preset range, it indicates that the cartilage repair effect is poor and it is necessary to increase the gene transfection efficiency or electroporation parameters to improve the repair effect.
[0059] Adjustment of electric field strength Among them, E field is the electric field strength applied during electroporation, is the proportionality constant, and R max is the maximum value of the comprehensive score, and k1 is used to represent the most ideal restoration effect.
[0060] Pulse width adjustment Where τ is the width of the electroporation pulse and k2 is the proportionality constant.
[0061] The plasmid concentration was adjusted to Among them, Cplasmid is the concentration of plasmid injected into the tissue, and k3 is the proportionality constant.
[0062] Its technical effect is: through comprehensive analysis of data obtained by multimodal imaging and histological methods, an evaluation formula is constructed to achieve a multi-dimensional and quantitative evaluation of the cartilage repair effect, realize automatic feedback and adjustment during the repair process, maximize the repair effect, and avoid excessive or insufficient repair.
[0063] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in the above-mentioned intelligent control method for irreversible electroporation regeneration of cartilage tissue, the evaluation formula is updated each time the cartilage repair effect is evaluated.
[0064] The updated evaluation formula is: Among them, R i is the comprehensive score after each evaluation, and m is the number of evaluations.
[0065] Its technical effect is that through the dynamic update mechanism, the real-time and adaptive nature of the evaluation process is ensured, making the evaluation and adjustment more accurate. Through the continuously updated comprehensive score, the changes in the repair effect can be continuously monitored, avoiding the errors and inaccuracies that may be caused by fixed models.

The construction of the gene vector is optimized through information processing methods, making the design, production and experimental processes of the vector more efficient and accurate, and can be adjusted in real time according to the repair requirements.
[0076] By real-time monitoring of gene transfection efficiency and expression levels, based on data from fluorescent labeling, real-time quantitative PCR, Western blot and other technologies, combined with computer processing algorithms, electroporation parameters such as electric field strength, pulse width, and pulse number are dynamically adjusted. The real-time and precision of this process are achieved through automated control and data feedback mechanisms, ensuring the optimal effect of gene transfection while avoiding the risk of over-repair or low transfection efficiency. Not only does it improve the accuracy of the operation, it also makes it possible to dynamically adjust the electroporation process, thereby optimizing the cartilage repair effect.
[0077] The present invention evaluates cartilage repair through computer image analysis and multimodal imaging, such as CT, MRI, and ultrasound imaging. The three-dimensional reconstruction and quantitative analysis of imaging data enable the accurate quantification of repair indicators such as cartilage thickness, bone density, hydration, and elastic recovery, providing a scientific basis for comprehensive analysis. Combined with imaging data and histological evaluation, computer automatic analysis can improve the accuracy and consistency of the evaluation, avoid errors caused by manual intervention, and ensure the objectivity of the data.
[0078] Based on the evaluation results of cartilage regeneration and functional recovery, the present invention uses computers to process multimodal imaging and histological data, constructs a comprehensive evaluation formula, and dynamically adjusts electroporation parameters and gene transfection strategies according to the evaluation formula. The cartilage repair effect is evaluated by weighted scoring of factors such as cartilage thickness, bone density, hydration, elastic modulus, etc., and the electric field strength, pulse width and plasmid concentration are automatically optimized according to the results. The computerization and automation of this process greatly improves the speed and accuracy of the analysis, ensuring that the strategy can be adjusted in time according to the latest repair effect during the experiment to avoid the problem of over-repair or under-repair.

Where E(t) is the gene transfection efficiency at time t, N fluorescent (t) is the number of fluorescently labeled cells observed at time t, N total (t) is the total number of cells; the gene expression level is defined as A(t) = α·I fluorescent (t), gene expression is quantified by real-time quantitative PCR, Western blot and other techniques, or evaluated by reporter genes, such as GFP, Luciferase, etc., where A(t) is the gene expression level at time t, α is the constant ratio between fluorescence intensity and gene expression level, and I fluorescent (t) is the fluorescence intensity at time t; according to the real-time monitoring data, the electroporation parameters are dynamically adjusted, and the electroporation parameters include the electric field intensity E field (t), pulse width τ(t) and pulse number N pulse,0 ; The electric field strength Among them, E field (t) is the electric field strength at time t, E field,0 is the initial electric field strength, E target is the target transfection efficiency; the pulse width Among them, τ(t) is the pulse width at time t, τ0 is the initial pulse width, A target is the target gene expression level; the pulse number Wherein, is the number of pulses at time t, is the initial number of pulses; if the gene transfection efficiency E(t) is lower than the target transfection efficiency E target , then increase the electric field strength or the number of pulses; if the gene expression level A(t) is lower than the target gene expression level A target , then adjust the pulse width or optimize the electric field configuration.
[0096] Its technical effect is that real-time monitoring and dynamic adjustment of electroporation parameters can maintain the best effect during gene transfection, avoiding experimental failure or unsatisfactory repair effect caused by low transfection efficiency. If the transfection efficiency is lower than the target efficiency, the system improves the transfection efficiency by increasing the electric field strength or the number of pulses, and improves the expression level of the repair factor in chondrocytes; by continuously adjusting electroporation parameters such as pulse width and pulse number, the gene expression level is optimized. If the gene expression level is lower than the target expression level, the pulse width can be adjusted or the electric field configuration can be optimized to further improve the gene expression level, thereby ensuring the effectiveness and stability of the repair factor in cartilage tissue. The present invention provides an adaptive control system based on feedback data, which adjusts the electric field strength, pulse width and pulse number in real time, so that the effect of each electroporation process can reach the preset target, avoiding the errors that may be caused by manual control, and improving the accuracy and stability of the operation.
[0097] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, in the above-mentioned intelligent control method for irreversible electroporation regeneration of cartilage tissue, the evaluation of cartilage regeneration and functional recovery through multimodal imaging and histological methods includes: obtaining three-dimensional reconstruction data of cartilage and bone tissue images through micro-computer tomography, recording the density, thickness, and volume information of cartilage and subchondral bone, extracting cartilage areas using image analysis algorithms, calculating changes in cartilage thickness and bone density, and quantitatively evaluating the effect of cartilage repair by comparing the results of different experimental groups; obtaining the biochemical state of cartilage through magnetic resonance imaging, analyzing the hydration and structural changes of cartilage using T2-weighted imaging sequences, and evaluating the repair of cartilage in combination with image feature extraction algorithms; and scanning the cartilage surface through ultrasonic imaging using a high-frequency ultrasonic probe to generate an elastic image of the cartilage, analyzing the elastic changes of the cartilage using an elastic recovery algorithm, and evaluating the functional recovery of the cartilage.
[0098] Specifically, in micro-CT scanning, the grayscale value of the 3D reconstructed image Among them, CT(i) is the gray value of the i-th layer, w(i,x,y,z) is the influence weight function used to describe different layers in three-dimensional space; the calculation formula of cartilage thickness is Where h(x,y) is the thickness of the cartilage at position (x,y), I(x,y,z) is the grayscale value of the cartilage area at layer z, and n is the maximum number of layers in the image; the calculation formula for bone density is Among them, ρ bone (x, y) is the average density of the subchondral bone area; the cartilage repair effect was quantitatively evaluated by comparing the cartilage thickness and bone density with those of the normal control group.
[0099] In magnetic resonance imaging, T2-weighted imaging sequences are used to analyze the hydration of the cartilage area. The signal attenuation of T2-weighted imaging is proportional to the water content of the cartilage. The higher the water content, the slower the signal attenuation. The analysis formula for hydration is S(t) = S0e -t / T2 , where S(t) is the signal intensity at time t, S0 is the initial signal intensity, and T2 is the T2 relaxation time of cartilage tissue, which reflects the hydration state of cartilage. Combined with image feature extraction algorithms, such as edge detection and region segmentation, the cartilage in MRI images is quantitatively analyzed to evaluate the morphological changes of cartilage, such as whether there is structural damage such as cartilage degeneration and cracks. The formula for cartilage structural changes is: Among them, ΔThickness is the change in cartilage thickness, T2 i,post is the T2 value of the ith area after treatment, T2 i,pre is the T2 value before treatment.
[0100] In ultrasound imaging, ultrasound elastography is used to evaluate the elastic changes of cartilage. Ultrasound elastography calculates the elastic modulus of cartilage by calculating the displacement of the cartilage area. The elastic modulus calculation formula is: Where E is the elastic modulus of cartilage, ΔP is the change in applied pressure, and Δu is the displacement of the cartilage surface. Combined with computer analysis, the elastic changes of cartilage are evaluated. The recovery of the elastic modulus indicates the functional recovery of cartilage after repair. The elastic recovery analysis formula is ΔE=E post -E pre , where ΔE is the change in elastic modulus of cartilage, E post is the elastic modulus of the cartilage after treatment, E pre is the elastic modulus before treatment.
[0101] Its technical effect is: by extracting cartilage areas through image analysis algorithms, and using high-resolution three-dimensional imaging data, the structural changes in the cartilage repair process can be accurately quantified, especially the changes in cartilage thickness, volume and bone density, which provides a reliable basis for the quantitative evaluation of cartilage repair effects. Through T2-weighted imaging MRI scanning, the improvement of cartilage hydration can be accurately reflected, and the biochemical state of cartilage repair can be evaluated. The hydration of cartilage is closely related to its structure and function. Good hydration of cartilage means that its function is well restored. Through ultrasonic elastic imaging technology, the elastic changes of cartilage are evaluated in real time and non-invasively, and the functional recovery of cartilage is evaluated. Multiple monitoring is performed during the cartilage repair process, thereby improving the comprehensiveness and accuracy of the evaluation of cartilage repair effects. The multimodal imaging method and custom algorithm used improve the automation and standardization level of cartilage repair evaluation, and provide data support for subsequent electroporation parameter adjustment and gene transfection strategy optimization.
