Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of medical equipment, and in particular relates to a stomach tube with an adjustable radiation source for radiotherapy of esophageal tumors. Background Art

[0002] Esophageal cancer is a malignant tumor that occurs in the esophageal epithelial tissue, accounting for about 2% of all malignant tumors. About 220,000 people die of esophageal cancer every year in the world. my country is a high-incidence area for esophageal cancer, and the number of deaths from esophageal cancer ranks second only to gastric cancer. Most people are over 40 years old, and there are more men than women. However, in recent years, there has been an increasing trend in the number of people under 40 years old. The occurrence of esophageal cancer is related to chronic stimulation by nitrosamines, inflammation and trauma, genetic factors, and the content of trace elements in drinking water, food and vegetables.

[0003] Currently, radiotherapy is widely used to treat esophageal cancer. However, traditional radiotherapy uses radiation from outside the human body to treat tumors in the esophagus. This method indiscriminately irradiates normal human tissues and tumor tissues during radiotherapy, which can cause damage to normal tissues and have great side effects.

[0004] To this end, the utility model with application number CN200620079162.X discloses a double-chamber water bag type esophageal source applicator, in which a gastric tube with both ends extending out of the water bag is arranged inside the water bag, a radiation source tube with both ends connected to or integrated with the end of the gastric tube is arranged inside the gastric tube, and a contrast agent tube with one end extending out of the gastric tube and the other end connected to the water bag is arranged.

[0005] The above scheme improves the targeting uniformity of intracavitary treatment and greatly reduces the damage to normal tissues by placing the radiation source tube on the gastric tube and then extending it into the esophagus together with the gastric tube for radiotherapy of the tumor. However, in this scheme, the radiation source tube and the contrast agent tube are directly placed inside the gastric tube, which will reduce the internal space of the gastric tube and affect the patient's eating. At the same time, this scheme installs the radiation source on a steel wire and then places the radiation source at the tumor site for radiotherapy. Since the tumor is usually small and the gastric tube has a certain degree of softness, the operator will inevitably make deviations when placing the radiation source. At the same time, the position of the radiation source cannot be fine-tuned after being placed in the gastric tube, making it difficult to achieve accurate positioning of the radiation source and the tumor, which will inevitably affect the treatment effect.

[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a radiotherapy device with better treatment effect. Utility Model Content

[0007] The utility model aims to provide a stomach tube with an adjustable radiation source for radiotherapy of esophageal tumors, so as to partially alleviate or solve the above problems.

[0008] In order to solve the technical problems mentioned above, the utility model specifically adopts the following technical solutions: a gastric tube body with an adjustable radiation source for radiotherapy of esophageal tumors, comprising a gastric tube body and an adjustment mechanism, wherein the gastric tube body is provided with a main cavity for eating and at least one sub-cavity for accommodating the radiation source; the adjustment mechanism comprises an adjustment handle, a connecting line and a mobile warehouse, a first cavity is provided in the adjustment handle, a first piston is slidably provided in the first cavity, one end of the connecting line passes through the adjustment handle and is fixedly connected to the first piston, and the other end of the connecting line is fixedly connected to the mobile warehouse, and a cavity for accommodating the radiation source is provided in the mobile warehouse.

[0009] As an improvement, it further comprises a guide wire, wherein the guide wire is used to place the mobile chamber into the sub-cavity.

[0010] As an improvement, an adjustment hole is provided on the adjustment handle, and the adjustment hole corresponds to the first piston.

[0011] As an improvement, a limiting block is provided on a side of the first piston close to the adjusting hole, and a portion of the limiting block extends out of the limiting hole and is located outside the first cavity.

[0012] As an improvement, scale lines are provided on the outer wall of the adjustment handle, and the scale lines are located on one side of the adjustment hole.

[0013] As an improvement, the movable bin is fixed to the connecting line via an elastic member, and the cross-sectional shape of the elastic member is consistent with the cross-sectional shape of the auxiliary cavity body.

[0014] As an improvement, the mobile bin includes a plurality of mobile bin assemblies having cavities of different lengths.

[0015] As an improvement, the main cavity runs through the stomach tube body and is consistent with the length of the stomach tube body, and the secondary cavity extends from the first end to the second end of the stomach tube body, and the length of the secondary cavity is smaller than the length of the main cavity.

[0016] As an improvement, a plurality of side holes are opened on the cavity wall of the main cavity, and the side holes are located at the second end of the stomach tube body.

[0017] As an improvement, the at least one sub-lumen includes two sub-lumens, and the two sub-lumens are symmetrical about the central axis of the gastric tube body.

[0018] The principle and beneficial effect of the utility model are as follows: when using the gastric tube main body with the above structure, the gastric tube is first inserted into the patient's body, and then the specific position of the tumor is determined by CT or other means, and at the same time the length of the radiation source that should be extended into the auxiliary cavity is calculated, and a mark is made on the connecting line according to the length, and then the mobile chamber is placed into the bottom of the auxiliary cavity through the guide wire, and then the mobile chamber is pulled by the adjustment handle so that the mark on the connecting line reaches the specified position, and the radiation source and the tumor roughly correspond, and finally, in combination with the visual device, the piston is slid through the limit block, thereby driving the mobile chamber to move, so as to achieve fine adjustment of the position of the radiation source, so that the correspondence between the radiation source and the tumor position is more accurate.

[0019] Furthermore, since the width of the radiation source is usually smaller than the width of the sub-cavity, in order to avoid the need for additional devices to fix the pull wire after the radiation source is pulled to the specified position, and at the same time to avoid the radiation source from shifting when the pull wire is pulled, the present application provides an elastic member on the mobile bin to increase the friction between the mobile bin and the wall of the sub-cavity, thereby making the radiation source more stable.

[0020] Compared with the existing treatment of directly placing the radiation source into the gastric tube body, the position of the radiation source in the present application is more flexible, the correspondence between the adjusted radiation source and the tumor is more accurate, and the treatment effect of the fixed radiation source is more stable. At the same time, the operation is simple and convenient. In addition, the setting of the scale line can make the position adjustment more intuitive. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0040] Embodiment 1 is basically as shown in the attached Figure 1-7b As shown:

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, the utility model provides a gastric tube for radiotherapy of esophageal tumors, including a gastric tube body 1 and an adjustment mechanism 4. Since the length from the human oral cavity to the stomach is generally 45 cm-55 cm, that is, the length of the gastric tube body 1 extending into the human body is 45 cm-55 cm, the total length of the gastric tube body 1 in the present application is 70 cm-80 cm, and the gastric tube body 1 is provided with a main cavity 2 for eating and at least one sub-cavity 3 for accommodating the adjustment mechanism 4, wherein the main cavity 2 runs through the entire gastric tube body 1 and is connected to the gastric tube body 1. The lengths are consistent, the auxiliary cavity 3 is close to the inner wall of the stomach tube body 1, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the auxiliary cavity 3 is smaller than the cross-sectional area of ​​the main cavity 2. The auxiliary cavity 3 extends from the first end of the stomach tube body 1 (the end located outside the human body when in use) to the second end (the end located inside the human body when in use), and the length of the auxiliary cavity 3 is 50cm-60cm, so that the second end of the stomach tube body 1 has only the main cavity 2 but no auxiliary cavity 3, and the main cavity 2 and the auxiliary cavity 3 do not interfere with each other. At the same time, a plurality of side holes 5 are provided at the second end of the stomach tube body 1 to facilitate liquid food, water, etc. to enter the stomach.

[0042] Exemplarily, the length of the main body 1 of the gastric tube is 75 cm, of which the length of the part that extends into the human body when in use is 50 cm; and the length of the secondary cavity is 55 cm, of which the length of the part that extends into the human body is 35 cm, so that the part of the secondary cavity that extends into the human body just corresponds to the patient's esophagus, and the tumor is generally located in the esophagus. By determining the distance between the tumor and the bottom of the secondary cavity (or the distance between the tumor and the bottom of the esophagus), the depth to which the radiation source should extend into the secondary cavity can be calculated. Therefore, the adjustment mechanism can be placed in one of the secondary cavities in advance, and then the gastric tube can be placed into the user's body under the action of the guide wire (for example, the guide wire is guided through another secondary cavity or the main cavity), but due to blind insertion and the overall softness of the gastric tube, errors are inevitable. At the same time, the user will move after placement, which will cause the gastric tube to deviate up and down. Therefore, it can be detected by visual equipment such as CT or ultrasound, and then the adjustment mechanism can be used for adjustment.

[0043] In some embodiments, two sub-cavities 3 are provided, and the two sub-cavities 3 are of the same size and are symmetrical about the central axis of the gastric tube body 1 .

[0044] like Figure 2-Figure 6 The regulating mechanism 4 includes a first cavity 42 and a second cavity 43, the first cavity 42 and the second cavity 43 are connected through a pipeline, a first piston is slidably provided inside the first cavity 42, a second piston is slidably provided inside the second cavity 43, and a mobile warehouse is connected to the second piston, and a accommodating cavity for accommodating the radiation source 7 is provided inside the mobile warehouse 431; a closed cavity is formed between the first cavity 42, the pipeline and the second cavity 43, when the first piston slides in the first cavity 42, the fluid flow in the closed cavity drives the second piston to slide in the second cavity 43, and the second piston drives the mobile warehouse 431 to move in the second cavity 43, and the specific fluid includes gas or liquid.

[0045] In some embodiments, the first cavity 42 and the second cavity 43 are cavities with the same cross-sectional area (for example, cylindrical cavities with the same inner diameter), so that the displacement distance of the first piston in the first cavity 42 and the movement distance of the second piston in the second cavity 43 are always the same, thereby more intuitively judging the movement position of the radiation source 7 by the displacement distance of the first piston.

[0046] In some embodiments, the second piston includes an upper piston 432 and a lower piston 433, and the upper piston 432 and the lower piston 433 are respectively fixed at both ends of the mobile warehouse, and the side walls of the upper piston 432 and the lower piston 433 are respectively slidably set in the second cavity 43. The mobile warehouse is fixed by the double piston structure, which can make the mobile warehouse more stable during the up and down movement and prevent it from shifting.

[0047] like Figure 3 , Figure 4An adjustment hole 6 is provided on the side wall of the first cavity 42, and the adjustment hole 6 is in the shape of a long strip. A limit block 422 is provided at the corresponding part of the first piston 421 and the adjustment hole 6. A part of the limit block 422 extends out of the adjustment hole 6 and is located outside the first cavity 42, so that the position of the first piston 421 in the first cavity 42 can be adjusted conveniently by sliding the limit block 422.

[0048] In some embodiments, the adjustment hole 6 is provided with scale lines 423 along the vertical direction (ie, the moving direction of the limit block 422 ), so that the operator can make the adjustment more intuitive and convenient.

[0049] In some embodiments, Figure 7a and Figure 7b The middle part of the mobile warehouse 431 is a first cylinder coaxially arranged with the second cavity 43, and a holding cavity for holding the radiation source 7 is arranged inside the first cylinder. The two ends of the first cylinder extend to the two ends respectively to form a second cylinder and a third cylinder with successively increasing diameters, and the diameter of the third cylinder is smaller than the diameter of the first cylinder. The second piston includes an upper piston 432 and a lower piston 433 symmetrically arranged at the two ends of the first cylinder, and a first cavity for holding the third cylinder and a second cavity for holding the second cylinder are opened inside the upper piston 432 and the lower piston 433, and the diameter of the second cavity is smaller than the diameter of the third cavity. Such an arrangement is convenient for installation and can effectively prevent the mobile warehouse 431 from falling off from the second piston.

[0050] In some embodiments, both the first piston 421 and the second piston are made of medical materials.

[0051] By arranging the first piston 421 and the second piston, a closed cavity is formed between the first cavity 42, the pipe 41 and the second cavity 43. When the first piston 421 slides upward or downward, the fluid in the closed cavity flows (causing the air pressure or hydraulic pressure to change), and the second piston moves under the push of the fluid. The second piston drives the mobile bin 431 to move, thereby changing the position of the radiation source 7 in the sub-cavity 3, thereby achieving fine adjustment of the position of the radiation source 7.

[0052] In some embodiments, the pipeline includes a first pipeline and a second pipeline, and the two ends of the first pipeline and the second pipeline are respectively connected to the first cavity 42 and the second cavity 43 to form an annular closed cavity, and the first piston and the second piston divide the annular closed cavity into a first closed cavity and a second closed cavity.

[0053] In some embodiments, the width of the mobile warehouse 431 is smaller than the width of the second cavity 43 (for example, when the mobile warehouse and the second cavity are both set to be cylindrical, the diameter of the mobile warehouse is smaller than the diameter of the second cavity), and the mobile warehouse 431 does not contact the inner wall of the second cavity 43, thereby preventing the side wall of the mobile warehouse from rubbing against the inner wall of the second cavity, thereby causing wear on the mobile warehouse 431 and the second cavity 43.

[0054] In some embodiments, an opening is provided on the side wall of the movable chamber 431 to facilitate placement of the radiation source into the accommodating cavity.

[0055] In some embodiments, the fluid in the closed cavity may be air or water.

[0056] During specific use, the specific position of the esophageal tumor in the esophagus is determined in advance by existing technologies such as ultrasound, and then the adjustment mechanism 4 is placed at a corresponding position in the sub-cavity 3 (since the length of the gastric tube body 1 is fixed, once the position of the tumor is known, the specific depth of the radiation source 7 extending into the sub-cavity can be determined). However, since the gastric tube body 1 is blindly inserted and has a certain degree of softness, errors are inevitable. Therefore, fine-tuning is achieved through the adjustment mechanism 4. During fine-tuning, the first piston 421 is driven to move by the sliding limit block 422, and then the fluid in the closed cavity flows, driving the second piston located inside the sub-cavity 3 to move in the second cavity 43, thereby changing the position of the radiation source 7.

[0057] For example, the following experiments are used to compare the effects of using the gastric tube in this scheme:

[0058] Table 1 (Comparison of the effects of this regimen and traditional treatment):

[0059]

[0060] Embodiment 2 is as attached Figure 8 Shown:

[0061] The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that: in this embodiment, the adjustment mechanism includes an adjustment handle 9, a connecting line 8, a movable chamber 431 and a guide wire. Among them, the mobile warehouse in this embodiment can adopt the same structure as the mobile warehouse in Example 1, the guide wire is used to place the mobile warehouse 431 into the sub-cavity, a first cavity is provided in the adjusting handle 9, a first piston is slidably provided in the first cavity, a long strip adjusting hole is opened on one side of the adjusting handle 9, a limit block is provided at the corresponding part of the first piston and the adjusting hole, a part of the limit block extends out of the first cavity and is located outside the adjusting handle 9, the limit block can move up and down in the adjusting hole, so as to facilitate the operator to slide the first piston through the limit block, one end of the connecting line 8 passes through the adjusting handle 9 and is fixed to the bottom of the first piston, the other end of the connecting line 8 is fixed to the mobile warehouse 431, and a cavity for accommodating a radiation source is provided inside the mobile warehouse 431; when the operator slides the limit block in the adjusting hole, the limit block drives the first piston to move up and down in the first cavity, the first piston drives the connecting line 8, and then the connecting line 8 drives the mobile warehouse 431 to move up and down synchronously, thereby realizing fine adjustment of the position of the radiation source.

[0062] In some embodiments, scale lines are provided on the outer wall of the adjustment handle 9 , and the scale lines are located on the left or right side of the adjustment hole, so that it is more intuitive when adjusting the position of the first piston.

[0063] In some embodiments, the mobile chamber 431 is fixed to the connecting line 8 by an elastic member 18, and the cross-sectional shape of the elastic member 18 is consistent with the cross-sectional shape of the sub-cavity body to prevent the radiation source from shaking in the sub-cavity and affecting the treatment effect.

[0064] In other embodiments, elastic members may be provided at both ends of the mobile bin 431, wherein one of the elastic members is fixed to the connecting line 8, and the two elastic members may slide in the sub-cavity, so that the position of the mobile bin can be fixed by the elastic members.

[0065] In some embodiments, the mobile chamber 431 includes a plurality of mobile chamber components with cavities of different lengths to accommodate different numbers of radiation sources and to accommodate tumors of different sizes.

[0066] In summary, this solution places the radiation source 7 inside the adjustment mechanism 4 and fine-tunes the position of the radiation source 7 through the pull-wire adjustment mechanism 4, thereby comprehensively providing a gastric tube for radiotherapy of esophageal tumors that can be fine-tuned, has more precise drug positioning, and has better treatment effects.

[0067] Embodiment 3 is as attached Figure 9-11 As shown:

[0068] The difference between this embodiment and embodiments one and two is that: in this embodiment, the stomach tube body with a main cavity and a sub-cavity structure in embodiment one is adopted, and also includes a positioning component and a guide wire, wherein the positioning component includes an upper segment 10 with a first length and a lower segment 11 with a second length. When the radiation source 7 is placed in the sub-cavity for positioning, the guide wire sequentially places the lower segment 11, the radiation source 7 and the upper segment 10 into the sub-cavity from the opening end of the sub-cavity, and the upper segment 10 and the lower segment 11 cooperate to clamp and fix the radiation source 7 in the sub-cavity.

[0069] In some embodiments, the upper section 10 with a first length is composed of a plurality of fixing members of different lengths selected in advance according to the location of the tumor; the lower section 11 with a second length is composed of a plurality of supporting members of different lengths selected in advance according to the location of the tumor, and by selecting supporting members and fixing members of different lengths and combining them to form lower sections 11 and upper sections 10 of different lengths, the position of the radiation source 7 can be adjusted.

[0070] In other embodiments, the upper section 10 and the lower section 11 are respectively made of portions of a specified length cut from a rod (wherein the upper section 10 and the lower section 11 can be cut to different lengths, and the lengths of the two can be arbitrarily adjusted according to the location of the tumor).

[0071] In some embodiments, the support member includes a plurality of second support members 13 of different lengths and a first support member 12 in contact with the radiation source, and the fixing member includes a plurality of second fixing members 15 and a first fixing member 14 in contact with the radiation source; when selecting the support member and the fixing member, the positions of the first support member 12 and the first fixing member 14 always remain unchanged; the first ends of the support member and the second fixing member 15 are respectively provided with protrusions 17, and the second ends of the second support member 13 and the fixing member are respectively provided with first grooves 16 matching with the protrusions 17 to ensure that adjacent support members or adjacent fixing members can be tightly combined, and at the same time, the first groove 16 can provide a force-bearing space for the guide wire. When in use, the end of the guide wire is aligned with the first groove 16, so that the support member and the fixing member can be easily passed into the sub-cavity.

[0072] In some embodiments, a second groove for accommodating the radiation source 7 is provided at one end of the upper section 10 and the lower section 11 (or the first fixing member 14 and the first supporting member 12) that contacts the radiation source 7, wherein the inner diameter of the second groove is consistent with the outer diameter of the radiation source, and the two second grooves cooperate with each other to clamp the two ends of the radiation source to prevent it from shifting.

[0073] In some embodiments, a cover is further provided at the open end of the sub-cavity to prevent the upper section 10 from sliding out of the sub-cavity, and the total length of the lower section 11, the radiation source 7 and the upper section 10 is the same as the internal length of the sub-cavity 3, so that when the cover is closed, the end of the upper section 10 close to the cover can be supported to prevent the upper section 10, the radiation source 7 and the lower section 11 located inside the sub-cavity from being displaced.

[0074] In some embodiments, the positioning assembly includes multiple groups of components (including upper sections 10, lower sections 11 or first fixing members and first supporting members of various specifications) with second grooves of different inner diameters to accommodate radiation sources of different diameters.

[0075] In some embodiments, due to differences in tumor size, the number of radiation sources placed in the sub-cavity 3 also varies accordingly. When the number of radiation sources is large, the positions of adjacent radiation sources may deviate, affecting the treatment effect. Therefore, in this solution, a sleeve assembly for limiting the radiation source is also provided between the upper section 10 and the lower section 11. The sleeve assembly includes a plurality of sleeves of different lengths, which can be selected according to the total length of the radiation source when used.

[0076] In some embodiments, the cross-sectional shape of the support member and the fixing member is consistent with the cross-sectional shape of the cavity of the auxiliary cavity, so that the support member and the fixing member can be just placed in the auxiliary cavity 3 while preventing the support member and the fixing member from shaking in the auxiliary cavity 3.

[0077] During specific use, the location and length of the tumor in the patient's esophagus are first determined through existing technologies such as ultrasound and CT, so as to determine the position where the radiation source should be located in the main body of the gastric tube. At the same time, since the radiation source has a fixed length, the number of radiation sources to be placed in the auxiliary cavity is determined according to the length of the tumor; then the length of the lower segment to be placed in the auxiliary cavity is calculated to ensure that the radiation source is located at the target position, and then the lower segment of the corresponding length is selected and placed in the auxiliary cavity, and then the radiation source of the corresponding length of the tumor is placed, and finally the upper and lower segments of the corresponding length are placed to cooperate to fix the radiation source, so that the radiation source is finally made to correspond to the tumor, thereby ensuring a better treatment effect.

[0078] This scheme uses a radiation source corresponding to the length of the tumor, and selects upper and lower segments of different lengths to adjust and fix the position of the radiation source in combination with the position of the radiation source, so that the radiation source exactly corresponds to the tumor, effectively improving the treatment effect.

[0079] Embodiment 4

[0080] The difference between this embodiment and embodiments one, two and three is that: this embodiment adopts the gastric tube main body with a main cavity and a sub-cavity structure in the embodiments, and a guide wire assembly of different specifications for placing a radiation source into a specified position of the sub-cavity; the difference between this guide wire and the guide wire in embodiment two is that the guide wire in this embodiment is provided with a cavity for accommodating the radiation source inside, and a fixing mechanism for fixing the guide wire to the gastric tube main body is provided at one end of the guide wire located outside the gastric tube main body.

[0081] During specific use, the location and length of the tumor in the patient's esophagus are first determined by existing technologies such as ultrasound and CT, and then the location where the radiation source should be located in the gastric tube body and the number of radiation sources that need to be placed are determined by calculation. At the same time, the length of the guide wire extended into the gastric tube body is calculated to determine the required guide wire length, and a guide wire of corresponding length is selected from the guide wire assembly. Then, the radiation source is placed at the bottom of the guide wire cavity, and then the guide wire is extended into the secondary cavity so that the radiation source corresponds to the tumor, and finally the guide wire is fixed by a fixing mechanism.

[0082] This solution places the radiation source into the guide wire and then extends the guide wire into the auxiliary cavity, so that the radiation source is in place in one step. The operation is simple and convenient, which effectively improves the operating efficiency while ensuring the treatment effect.

[0083] It should be noted that, in this article, the terms "include", "comprises" or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device.
