Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of intelligent medical treatment, in particular to a method and device for generating monodisperse hydrophilic aerosols with different particle sizes for human inhalation, a program product and a computer-readable storage medium. BACKGROUND

[0002] Most drugs are hydrophilic particles. However, most of the existing inhalation research of human targeted drugs adopts inhalable polydisperse non-radioactive hydrophobic aerosol generation technology, and there is no reliable human radioactive aerosol closed inhalation device, so it is impossible to obtain reliable high-resolution targeted drug deposition distribution quantification similar to drugs. In 2007, Jakob used an atomization device to first study the total deposition rate of nanoscale (50-150 nm) polydisperse hydrophobic particles in the respiratory tract. The study found that as the particle size increases, the total deposition rate of the particles gradually decreases. In 2017, Rissler et al. first used a polydisperse aerosol generation device to roughly quantitatively study the total deposition rate of polydisperse hydrophobic particles in the respiratory tract in the particle size range of 15-5000 nm. The study found that the total deposition rate of particles in the size range of 15-300 nm gradually decreases as the particle size increases; the total deposition rate of particles in the size range of 300-5000 nm gradually increases as the particle size increases. The above studies can only obtain the total deposition rate of polydisperse hydrophobic aerosol particles, so they cannot obtain the deposition distribution characteristics of each region of the respiratory tract, and have limited guiding significance for the existing clinical drug targeted treatment.

[0029] Advantages of this invention:

[0030] 1. The aerosol generated by the aerosol generating device for human inhalation is non-radioactive polydisperse, and most of the particles are hydrophobic, and there is no reliable radioactive closed inhalation device, which cannot meet the high-resolution real-time quantification of hydrophilic aerosol particles in the respiratory tract. The present application provides a method for generating hydrophilic aerosol monodisperse, which is helpful for observing the deposition distribution of monodisperse in the human respiratory tract, and further helps to understand the deposition distribution of hydrophilic monodisperse aerosol in the human respiratory tract, and provides research basis for subsequent diagnosis and treatment. Precise targeted drug delivery requires accurate deposition of drugs at the lesion site and reduces drug deposition in healthy areas to minimize damage to the body. The deposition distribution of aerosols of different particle sizes is significantly different. The generation of monodisperse aerosols can obtain the deposition distribution of particles of different particle sizes, and can obtain the difference in deposition mechanism of particles of different particle sizes.

Compared with the existing human inhalation aerosol generation, the present application can generate monodisperse and polydisperse radioactive glucose, which can realize accurate analysis of the deposition difference of aerosols of different particle sizes in the respiratory tract. At the same time, the human inhalation exposure device designed in the present research can not only realize aerosol inhalation without leakage, but also accurately obtain the total deposition rate of the respiratory tract.

[0032] 3. In order to present the distribution of hydrophilic monodisperse aerosol particles of different particle sizes in the respiratory tract, the present application provides a hydrophilic aerosol with radioactivity, which is prepared by ultrasonicating radioactive isotopes with hydrophilic particles to improve the preparation efficiency.
