Improving targeting, by modifying the nanoparticle drug carrier, it can specifically recognize cells or tissues at the lesion site and achieve targeted drug delivery. Taking tumor treatment as an example, nanopharmaceuticals can accurately accumulate in tumor tissues, increase the drug concentration at the tumor site, and reduce the toxic and side effects on normal tissues.

[0003] The prior art document with the publication number CN113680235A provides a preparation device for nanopharmaceuticals, including a cylinder body with a chassis, a ring plate is rotatably connected to the top of the cylinder body, two emulsifying mechanisms are arranged inside the ring plate, each emulsifying mechanism includes a first motor, a stirring shaft and an electric push rod, limiting grooves are opened on both sides of the stirring shaft, limiting pieces are slidably connected in the limiting grooves, a plurality of stirring blades are also fixed on the outer side of the stirring shaft, the telescopic shaft of the electric push rod extends into the cylinder body, and the bottom end of the telescopic shaft is fixed with a collar, and the collar is rotatably connected to the outer side of the stirring shaft near the top.

[0047] 1. Data preprocessing: Obtain information on the types and dosages of the aqueous phase, oil phase, and solvent, as well as temperature data from the temperature monitoring module, pressure data from the pressure monitoring module, particle size data from the particle size analyzer, etc. from the data collection module. Perform data cleaning to remove duplicate, incorrect, or invalid data, and standardize the collected data to make different types of data comparable. Conduct data integration to integrate the processed data according to the time series or preparation batches to form a complete dataset for subsequent analysis.

[0048] 2. Establish a mathematical model: Select a multiple linear regression model according to the characteristics and requirements of nanoparticle drug carrier preparation. Use historical data to train the selected model and determine the model parameters. Continuously adjust the model parameters to enable the model to accurately reflect the relationships between various factors in the preparation process. Model verification: Use a portion of the data that was not involved in training to verify the established model and evaluate the accuracy and reliability of the model. If the prediction results of the model deviate significantly from the actual situation, the model needs to be adjusted and optimized.

[0049] 3. Data analysis;

[0050] Feature extraction: Extract features related to the nanoparticle preparation process from the integrated dataset, such as the ratios of different material combinations, the changing trends of temperature and pressure, the distribution characteristics of particle size, etc. These features will be used as the input of the model for analyzing and evaluating the preparation process.

[0051] Model calculation: Input the extracted features into the established mathematical model for calculation and analysis.

[0052] 4.

Determine whether the preparation process is in the optimal state. Combine historical data to predict whether there are potential problems or risks.

[0053] 5. Parameter adjustment decision:

[0054] 5.1. Judge the deviation of parameters: Set reasonable threshold ranges for each parameter according to the process requirements and quality standards of nanoparticle drug carrier preparation. Compare the parameter values calculated by the model with the set threshold ranges to determine whether there are parameter deviations. If a certain parameter exceeds the threshold range, it is considered that the parameter is abnormal. For the parameters that deviate from the threshold range, further evaluate the degree of abnormality. Make a comprehensive evaluation based on factors such as the deviation amplitude and duration to judge the severity of the abnormal situation.

[0055] 5.2. Generating adjustment suggestions: When parameter deviation is detected, use the established mathematical model and data analysis algorithm to analyze the reasons for the parameter deviation. For example, if the particle size suddenly increases, it may be caused by factors such as too high temperature, unstable pressure, or imbalance in the material ratio.

[0056] Formulate an adjustment strategy. Based on the results of the cause analysis, formulate corresponding parameter adjustment strategies. For example, if the increase in particle size is caused by too high temperature, it can be recommended to reduce the power of the heating equipment; if it is due to imbalance in the material ratio, it can be recommended to adjust the flow control valve to change the feeding ratio.

[0057] Convert the formulated adjustment strategy into specific adjustment suggestions, including the name of the parameter to be adjusted, the adjustment direction, and the adjustment amplitude, etc.

[0058] 5.3. Feedback and execution: Send the generated adjustment suggestions to the control center, and at the same time, also feedback the abnormal situations and relevant data found during the preparation process to the control center. The control center selects to automatically or prompt the operator to manually adjust the relevant parameters according to the received adjustment suggestions. If automatic adjustment is selected, the control center will automatically control the corresponding equipment to adjust the parameters according to the suggestions; if manual adjustment is selected, the control center will prompt the operator to operate according to the suggestions and provide necessary operation guidance. After the parameter adjustment, continuously monitor various parameters of the preparation process and the quality indicators of the nanoparticles, and evaluate the effect of the adjustment. If the parameters still deviate or do not reach the expected effect after adjustment, it is necessary to re - analyze and adjust until the preparation process returns to the optimal state.

[0061] S2. The motor B driven by rotation drives the driving gear to rotate, the driving gear drives the driven gear and the shaft rod to rotate, the shaft rod drives the bevel gear B to rotate, and the bevel gear B drives the bevel gear A to rotate, thereby driving the two stirring shafts and the stirring blades to rotate synchronously, improving the emulsification and stirring effect.

[0062] S3. Start the ultrasonic generator, and the ultrasonic probe emits ultrasonic waves into the materials, and use the cavitation effect to further promote the emulsification and dispersion of the materials. During the emulsification process, the scraping wall assembly continuously scrapes off the materials on the inner wall of the rotating drum to ensure the full mixing of the materials.

[0063] S4. The temperature monitoring module monitors the temperature of the emulsion in the rotating drum in real time; the pressure monitoring module monitors the pressure in the rotating drum in real time; the particle size analyzer monitors the particle size of the nanoparticles; the liquid level monitoring module monitors the liquid level height in the rotating drum in real time.

Abnormal situations are detected in a timely manner.

[0065] S6. According to the comprehensive evaluation results, it is judged whether the preparation parameters need to be adjusted.

[0066] S7. When an abnormal situation is detected, the alarm module issues an alarm in a timely manner.

[0067] S8. After the preliminary emulsification is completed, the suction pump is started to transport the material in the rotating drum to the high-pressure homogenizer for homogenization treatment. The high-pressure homogenizer further processes the material, ensuring the quality of the nanoparticle drug carrier. The material after being processed by the high-pressure homogenizer is the required nanoparticle drug carrier.

[0068] 3. Beneficial effects

[0069] One or more technical solutions provided in the technical solution of the present application have at least the following technical effects or advantages.

[0070] 1. In the present invention, the emulsification mechanism and the rotating drum are driven by a motor to rotate in the reverse direction for preliminary emulsification, and then the rotation drive is used to drive the stirring shaft to rotate synchronously, and the cavitation effect of the ultrasonic generator are combined in multiple ways to greatly improve the emulsification and stirring effect, so that the material can be fully emulsified and dispersed, ensuring the uniformity of the nanoparticle drug carrier.

[0074] 5. When the dialing block passes through the material, it will disrupt the original laminar flow state of the material, causing the material to generate strong turbulence. Turbulence can increase the collision and mixing opportunities between different components in the material, promoting the dispersion and emulsification of the oil phase and the water phase. It promotes the cyclic flow of the material, further facilitating the emulsification process. The scraper of the wall scraping assembly can scrape off the material adhering to the inner wall of the rotating cylinder. This enables the material to be more evenly mixed and dispersed within the rotating cylinder, ensuring the uniformity of the emulsification effect. This helps to prepare a nanoparticle drug carrier with more uniform particle size and more stable quality. The dialing block on the inner wall of the rotating cylinder can enhance the degree of turbulence and cyclic flow of the material, and the material scraped off by the wall scraping assembly can quickly mix with other materials in the rotating cylinder under the action of the dialing block, further improving the emulsification effect.

An oil pump 18 is fixedly arranged on the oil storage tank 17, and the input end of the oil pump 18 extends to the bottom of the oil storage tank 17. An oil phase is stored in the oil storage tank 17. A suitable oil phase is selected according to the properties of the drug such as solubility, stability and pharmacological activity.

[0093] Further, a plurality of dial blocks 31 are evenly arranged on the inner wall of the rotating drum 3 to improve the emulsification effect. The shape of the dial block 31 can be rectangular, trapezoidal, triangular, etc. Different-shaped dial blocks will produce different hydrodynamic effects when stirring the materials. The material of the dial block 31 is stainless steel.

[0094] In this technical solution, when the shifting block passes through the material, it will disrupt the original laminar flow state of the material, causing strong turbulence in the material. Turbulence can increase the collision and mixing opportunities between different components in the material, promoting the dispersion and emulsification of the oil phase and the water phase. To promote the circulating flow of the material, the shifting block 31 can also drive the material to circulate within the rotating drum 3. When the rotating drum rotates, the shifting block will push the material near the inner wall towards the center of the rotating drum, while driving the material in the central area towards the outer wall, forming a circulating flow pattern. This circulating flow enables the material to come into full contact with the emulsifying mechanism 4 and other additives, further promoting the emulsification process. For example, components such as drugs, oil phase, water phase, and emulsifiers can be more evenly mixed during the circulating flow, contributing to the formation of a stable nanoparticle drug carrier. To increase the shear force, the shifting block 31 generates a shear force on the material during rotation. Shear force is an important force for breaking oil droplets and water droplets, and it can divide larger droplets into smaller droplets. The magnitude and distribution of the shear force generated by shifting blocks of different shapes and sizes also vary.

[0095] Referring to Figure 4 , the emulsifying mechanism 4 includes a rotating base 41, a stirring shaft 42, stirring blades 43, and a rotation drive 6.

[0096] The rotating base 41 is detachably and fixedly arranged on the output shaft of the motor; two stirring shafts 42 are rotatably arranged on the rotating base 41; a number of stirring blades 43 are arranged on the stirring shafts 42 in a staggered manner.

[0097] A rotation drive 6 is fixedly arranged on the rotating base 41; the rotation drive 6 is in transmission connection with the stirring shaft 42.

[0098] In this technical solution, while the motor drives the rotating base 41 and the stirring shaft 42 to revolve, the rotation drive 6 drives the two stirring shafts 42 to rotate on their own axes, and the stirring shaft 42 drives the stirring blades 43 to rotate, improving the emulsification uniformity effect.

[0099] Referring to Figure 5 , the rotation drive 6 includes a motor B 61, a driving gear 62, a shaft rod 63, a driven gear 64, and a bevel gear B 65.

[0100] A motor B 61 is fixedly arranged on the rotating base 41; the output end of the motor B 61 is coaxially and fixedly provided with a driving gear 62; a shaft rod 63 is rotatably arranged on the rotating base 41, and a driven gear 64 is coaxially and fixedly arranged on the shaft rod 63; the driven gear 64 is in meshing transmission connection with the driving gear 62.

[0101] Bevel gears B 65 are coaxially and fixedly arranged at both ends of the shaft rod 63, and a bevel gear A 44 is coaxially and fixedly arranged on the stirring shaft 42; the bevel gear A 44 is in meshing transmission connection with the bevel gear B 65.

[0102] In this technical solution, the starting motor B61 drives the driving gear 62 to rotate. The driving gear 62 drives the driven gear 64 and the shaft rod 63 to rotate. The shaft rod 63 drives the bevel gear B65 to rotate. The bevel gear B65 drives the bevel gear A44 to rotate, thereby driving the two stirring shafts 42 to rotate synchronously, improving the emulsification and stirring effect.

[0103] Referring to Figure 2 , the scraping wall assembly 5 includes a rotating plate 51, a slider 52 and a scraping plate 53.

[0104] The rotating plate 51 is detachably and fixedly arranged on the rotating seat 41 of the emulsifying mechanism 4; sliders 52 are slidably arranged at both ends of the rotating plate 51; a spring is arranged between the slider 52 and the rotating plate 51; the other end of the slider 52 is fixedly provided with a scraping plate 53, and the scraping plate 53 is in frictional contact with the inner wall of the rotating cylinder 3.

[0105] In this technical solution, the scraping plate 53 can scrape off the materials adhering to the inner wall of the rotating cylinder 3. When encountering uneven places of the dial block 31 on the inner wall of the rotating cylinder 3, the slider 52 will automatically adjust its position under the action of the spring. At the same time, the elastic action of the spring can also buffer the frictional force between the scraping plate 53 and the inner wall of the rotating cylinder 3, reduce the wear of the scraping plate 53 and the inner wall of the rotating cylinder 3, and extend its service life. The materials adhering to the inner wall of the rotating cylinder 3 may form local accumulations, resulting in uneven material distribution and thus affecting the emulsification effect. The scraping wall assembly 5 continuously scrapes off the materials on the inner wall, enabling the materials to be more evenly mixed and dispersed in the rotating cylinder 3, ensuring the uniformity of the emulsification effect. This helps to prepare nanoparticle drug carriers with more uniform particle sizes and more stable quality. The dial block 31 on the inner wall of the rotating cylinder 3 can enhance the turbulence degree and circulating flow of the materials, and the materials scraped off by the scraping wall assembly 5 can be quickly mixed with other materials in the rotating cylinder under the action of the dial block 31. This synergistic effect makes the mixing of the materials in the rotating cylinder 3 more sufficient, further improving the emulsification effect. At the same time, the scraping wall assembly 5 keeps the inner wall of the rotating cylinder 3 clean, which is also beneficial for the dial block 31 to better play its role and avoid the accumulation of materials from hindering the movement of the dial block 31.

[0106] Furthermore, a heating plate is fixedly arranged at the bottom inside the rotating cylinder 3, and a temperature sensor is fixedly arranged on the rotating cylinder 3.

[0107] Furthermore, a concentration sensor, a liquid level sensor, a pressure sensor and a particle size analyzer are arranged on the barrel cover 2.

[0108] Furthermore, a pressure regulating device is connected to the barrel cover 2. The pressure regulating device includes:

[0109] Air compressor: Compresses air through mechanical movement, increases the air pressure, and provides the initial high-pressure air source for the entire pressure regulating system.

[0110] Air storage tank: Used to store the high-pressure air compressed by the air compressor. When the air pressure output by the air compressor is unstable, the air storage tank can store the excess air and release it when needed to ensure the relative stability of the system air pressure.

[0111] Pneumatic pressure regulating valve: The pneumatic pressure regulating valve controls the gas flow by adjusting the opening of the valve, thereby achieving the regulation of air pressure.

[0112] Air filter: The air filter removes pollutants such as dust, impurities, and oil droplets in the compressed air through filtering media (such as filter screens, filter elements, etc.). Different types of filters have different filtration precisions, and the appropriate filter can be selected according to actual needs. Application scenario: Installed after the air source equipment to ensure the cleanliness of the gas entering the pressure regulation system and the preparation equipment, prevent pollutants from having an adverse impact on the nanoparticle preparation process, and ensure the drug quality.

[0113] Dryer: The dryer is used to remove the moisture in the compressed air. The common drying methods are adsorption drying and refrigeration drying. In the preparation of nanoparticle drug carriers, moisture may affect the stability of the drug and the formation of nanoparticles. Therefore, the dryer can ensure the dryness of the gas entering the system and improve the reliability of the preparation process.

[0114] Safety valve: The safety valve is a safety protection device. When the air pressure in the system exceeds the set safety value, the safety valve will automatically open, release some gas, reduce the air pressure, and prevent the equipment from being damaged due to overpressure. Common safety valves include spring type, pilot type, etc.

[0115] Furthermore, the monitoring mechanism includes:

[0116] Data collection module: Collects a large amount of data on the materials, temperature, pressure, concentration, etc. in the preparation of nanoparticle drug carriers. Widely collects various key data involved in the nanoparticle drug preparation process. In terms of materials, record the specific types, specifications, and batch information of the aqueous phase, oil phase, solvent, and drug, because materials with different sources and properties may have a significant impact on the preparation results. Temperature data can reflect the thermal environment during the preparation process, pressure data is related to the mixing and homogenization degree of the materials, and concentration data involves the content of drugs, carrier materials, etc. in the system. These are all important factors determining the quality of nanoparticles. Label the collected data to facilitate subsequent analysis and processing. The labeling content includes information such as the data collection time, collection location, and related operation steps. When labeling temperature data, also record whether the temperature is collected during the emulsification start stage, homogenization process, or cooling stage, which helps analyze the influence of temperature at different stages on nanoparticle formation.

[0117] Temperature monitoring module: Includes a temperature sensor to real-time monitor the temperature of the emulsion in the rotating drum 3.

[0118] Pressure monitoring module: It includes a pressure sensor to monitor the pressure inside the rotating drum 3 in real time.

[0119] Particle size analyzer: To monitor the particle size of the nanoparticles.

[0120] Liquid level monitoring module: It includes a liquid level sensor to monitor the liquid level height inside the rotating drum 3 in real time.

[0121] Comprehensive analysis and evaluation module: It fuses information such as aqueous phase, oil phase, solvent, temperature, pressure, particle size, etc., comprehensively evaluates the preparation process of the rice grain drug carrier, and adjusts the parameters as needed. It can detect abnormal situations in a timely manner. It includes information fusion evaluation and parameter adjustment decision-making.

[0122] Information fusion evaluation: This module fuses and analyzes information such as the types and dosages of the aqueous phase, oil phase, and solvent, as well as temperature, pressure, particle size, etc. By establishing mathematical models and data analysis algorithms, it comprehensively evaluates the overall situation of the preparation process of the nanoparticles drug carrier. For example, it analyzes the influence of different material combinations on the particle size and stability of the nanoparticles under specific temperature and pressure conditions, so as to judge whether the preparation process is in the optimal state.

[0123] Parameter adjustment decision-making: According to the comprehensive evaluation results, this module can judge whether it is necessary to adjust the preparation parameters. If it is found that some parameters deviate from the optimal range, it will send a suggestion to the control center, and the control center will automatically or prompt the operator to manually adjust the relevant parameters, such as adjusting the flow control valve to change the feeding ratio of the materials, and adjusting the heating or cooling equipment to control the temperature, etc. At the same time, this module can also detect abnormal situations in the preparation process in a timely manner, such as sudden increase in particle size, abnormal temperature fluctuations, etc., and feedback the abnormal information to the control center.

[0124] Alarm module: It includes an alarm. When an abnormal situation is detected, it will send an alarm in a timely manner.

[0125] Control center: It is network-connected to the data collection module, temperature monitoring module, flow control valve, pressure monitoring module, particle size analyzer, liquid level monitoring module, and comprehensive analysis and evaluation module. It receives a large amount of data from each module and centrally processes and analyzes these data. Through built-in algorithms and programs, the control center can quickly judge the rationality of the data and the status of the preparation process. Instruction issuance and regulation. According to the data analysis results, the control center can automatically issue instructions to regulate each module and equipment. For example, when the temperature monitoring module feedbacks that the temperature is too high, the control center will send an instruction to reduce the power of the heating equipment; when the particle size analyzer shows that the particle size of the nanoparticles is too large, the control center will adjust the stirring speed of the emulsifying mechanism or the pressure of the high-pressure homogenizer. At the same time, the control center can also interact with the operator, provide operation suggestions and prompts, and realize the intelligent control of the preparation process of the nanoparticles drug carrier.

[0126] Furthermore, the comprehensive analysis and evaluation module: integrates information such as the aqueous phase, oil phase, solvent, temperature, pressure, particle size, etc., comprehensively evaluates the preparation process of the rice grain drug carrier, adjusts the parameters as needed, and promptly detects abnormal situations. It includes the following steps:

[0127] 1. Data preprocessing: Obtain information on the types and dosages of the aqueous phase, oil phase, and solvent from the data collection module, as well as temperature data from the temperature monitoring module, pressure data from the pressure monitoring module, particle size data from the particle size analyzer, etc. Ensure the accuracy and integrity of the data, and mark the missing or abnormal data. Perform data cleaning to remove duplicate, incorrect, or invalid data, and standardize the collected data so that different types of data are comparable. For example, convert data such as temperature and pressure to a unified unit and range. Perform data integration to integrate the processed data according to the time series or preparation batch to form a complete data set for subsequent analysis.

[0128] 2. Establish a mathematical model: Select a multiple linear regression model according to the characteristics and requirements of nanoparticle drug carrier preparation. Use historical data to train the selected model and determine the model parameters. By continuously adjusting the model parameters, make the model accurately reflect the relationship between various factors in the preparation process.

[0129] The model is: D = β0 + β1W + β2O + β3S + β4T + β5P + E; where D is the particle size of the nanoparticles. This is the target variable to be predicted and analyzed by the entire model. In the preparation of nanoparticle drug carriers, the particle size of the nanoparticles is a very critical indicator, which directly affects the release rate, bioavailability, targeting and distribution of the drug in the body. W is the amount of water phase. In the preparation of nanoparticles, the water phase is usually used as a continuous phase to provide a dispersion medium for other components. O is the amount of oil phase. The oil phase is often used as a carrier of the drug or the core component of the nanoparticles in the preparation of nanoparticles. Changes in the amount of oil phase will affect the structure and size of the nanoparticles. If the amount of oil phase is too much, larger oil droplets may be formed, and the particle size of the nanoparticles prepared in the end will also be larger; conversely, if the amount of oil phase is too little, it may not be able to effectively encapsulate the drug or form a stable nanoparticle structure. S is the amount of solvent. The role of the solvent is to dissolve the drug, carrier material and other components so that they can be evenly dispersed in the system. Different amounts of solvent will affect the viscosity, solubility and intermolecular interactions of the system, thus affecting the particle size of the nanoparticles. For example, insufficient amounts of solvent may lead to incomplete dissolution of some components, affecting the uniformity and particle size of the nanoparticles; while excessive amounts of solvent may increase the difficulty of subsequent separation and removal of the solvent, and may also affect the stability of the nanoparticles. T is temperature. Temperature is one of the important physical factors affecting the preparation process of nanoparticles. Under different temperature conditions, the thermal motion rate of molecules, the chemical reaction rate and the solubility of substances will change. Higher temperatures may accelerate the movement of molecules and promote the emulsification and dispersion process, but may also cause drug decomposition or carrier material denaturation; lower temperatures may increase the viscosity of the system, which is not conducive to the formation and uniform dispersion of nanoparticles. Therefore, temperature has a significant effect on the particle size of nanoparticles. P is pressure. Pressure also plays an important role in the preparation of nanoparticles, especially in some processes involving high-pressure homogenization. Appropriate pressure can make the oil phase and the water phase mix better, break up larger particles, and thus prepare nanoparticles with smaller and more uniform particle sizes. Too high a pressure may cause equipment damage or excessive crushing of nanoparticles; too low a pressure may fail to achieve the desired homogenization effect, resulting in a larger nanoparticle size. β0 is the intercept term. Β1, β2, β3, β4, and β5 are the regression coefficients of water phase dosage, oil phase dosage, solvent dosage, temperature, and pressure, respectively. The regression coefficient represents the average change in the dependent variable (nanoparticle size) for each unit change in the independent variable when other independent variables remain unchanged. E is the error term.

[0130] Model validation: Use a portion of data that was not used in training to validate the established model and evaluate the accuracy and reliability of the model. If the model's prediction results deviate greatly from the actual situation, the model needs to be adjusted and optimized.

[0131] 3. Data analysis:

[0132] Feature extraction: Extract features related to the nanoparticle preparation process from the integrated dataset, such as the proportions of different material combinations, the changing trends of temperature and pressure, the distribution characteristics of particle size, etc. These features will be used as the input of the model for analyzing and evaluating the preparation process.

[0133] Model calculation: Input the extracted features into the established mathematical model for calculation and analysis. The model will predict key indicators such as the particle size and stability of the nanoparticles based on the input features and compare them with the preset target values.

[0134] 4. Comprehensive evaluation: According to the calculation results of the model, comprehensively consider factors such as the aqueous phase, oil phase, solvent, temperature, pressure, and particle size, and evaluate the overall situation of the nanoparticle drug carrier preparation process. Determine whether the preparation process is in the optimal state. Combine historical data to predict whether there are potential problems or risks. The risk prediction is carried out according to the following formula:

[0135] R = Σ n i=1 (w ti * d i * r i ); w ti = w i / [H i * Σ n i=1 (w k / H k )]; d i = | x i - x i0 | / x io .

[0136] H i =- Σ m j-1 [pij * log2(p ij )]; In the formula, R is the risk assessment coefficient, which is a key indicator calculated by integrating various factors and is used to measure the risk degree of the nanoparticle drug carrier preparation process. By comparing with the risk threshold, it is judged whether there are potential risks in the preparation process. x i represents the i-th factor affecting the nanoparticle drug carrier preparation, including the aqueous phase, oil phase, solvent, temperature, pressure, and particle size, etc. The value range of i is from 1 to n, and n is the total number of influencing factors. x io is the standard value of the i-th factor and is used to calculate the deviation degree of the actual value of the factor from the standard value. d i is the deviation degree of the actual value of the i-th factor from the standard value, reflecting the difference between the current state and the standard state of this factor. H iis the information entropy of the i-th factor, which is used to measure the uncertainty of the data of this factor. Where m is the number of states of this factor in historical data, and p ij is the probability that the i-th factor is in the j-th state. The larger the information entropy, the higher the data uncertainty of this factor. w i is the initially set weight of the i-th factor, which reflects the relative importance of each factor's influence on the preparation process and can be determined by methods such as the analytic hierarchy process. w ti is the dynamic weight of the i-th factor adjusted based on information entropy. r i is the risk correlation factor, and its value range is 0 - 1. By statistically analyzing historical data, the variation law of each factor when a risk event occurs is calculated. r i The closer it is to 1, the stronger the correlation between this factor and the risk event. R0 is the risk threshold, which is a preset standard value. When the risk assessment coefficient, it is judged that there are potential risks in the preparation process; when, it is considered that the preparation process is in a relatively safe state. w k is the initially set weight of the k-th factor. H k is the information entropy of the i-th factor.

[0137] 5. Parameter adjustment decision:

[0138] 5.1. Judge the deviation of parameters: According to the process requirements and quality standards of nanoparticle drug carrier preparation, reasonable threshold ranges are set for each parameter. Compare the parameter values calculated by the model with the set threshold ranges to judge whether there are parameter deviations. If a certain parameter exceeds the threshold range, it is considered that this parameter is abnormal.

[0139] For the parameters that deviate from the threshold range, further evaluate their degree of abnormality. Make a comprehensive evaluation according to factors such as the deviation amplitude and duration to judge the severity of the abnormal situation.

[0140] 5.2. Generate adjustment suggestions: When parameter deviations are found, use the established mathematical model and data analysis algorithm to analyze the reasons for the parameter deviations. For example, if the particle size suddenly increases, it may be caused by reasons such as too high temperature, unstable pressure, or imbalance of material ratio.

[0141] Formulate adjustment strategies. According to the results of the cause analysis, formulate corresponding parameter adjustment strategies. For example, if the particle size increases due to too high temperature, it can be recommended to reduce the power of the heating equipment; if the material ratio is out of balance, it can be recommended to adjust the flow control valve to change the feeding ratio.

[0142] Convert the formulated adjustment strategies into specific adjustment suggestions, including the name of the parameter to be adjusted, the adjustment direction (increase or decrease), and the adjustment amplitude, etc.

[0143] 5.3. Feedback Execution: Send the generated adjustment suggestions to the control center, and at the same time, also feedback the abnormal situations and relevant data found during the preparation process to the control center. Based on the received adjustment suggestions, the control center selects to automatically or prompt the operator to manually adjust the relevant parameters. If automatic adjustment is selected, the control center will automatically control the corresponding equipment (such as flow control valves, heating or cooling equipment, etc.) according to the suggestions for parameter adjustment; if manual adjustment is selected, the control center will prompt the operator to operate according to the suggestions and provide necessary operation guidance. After the parameter adjustment, continuously monitor various parameters of the preparation process and the quality indicators of the nanoparticles, and evaluate the effect of the adjustment. If the parameters still deviate or do not achieve the expected effect after adjustment, re-analysis and adjustment are required until the preparation process returns to the optimal state.
