Description

Capsule endoscopy and general digestive endoscopy system
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of medical equipment, in particular to a capsule endoscope applied to the digestive tract and a general digestive endoscope system.
Background
Digestive tract cancers, namely esophagus cancer, stomach cancer and colon cancer can be discovered early and radically cured through gastroscopy and enteroscopy.
Chinese esophageal cancer and gastric cancer also belong to the high-incidence area worldwide, and account for more than 40% of the worldwide morbidity. According to the statistics of the national cancer center, the number of people suffering from the esophageal cancer in 2016 is 25.3 ten thousand, the death is 19.4 ten thousand, and the statistics of the esophageal cancer in 2016 account for the 6 th site of the incidence rate of the cancer; 39.7 thousands of stomach cancer patients in the same period and 28.9 thousands of deaths account for the 3 rd position of the incidence rate of the cancer. China is also a high incidence of Helicobacter Pylori (HP) infection, and World Health Organization (WHO) indicates that HP infection is a primary carcinogen for gastric cancer, so the incidence of gastric cancer is high. Early detection of gastric cancer can only be achieved by gastroscopy. In reality, the number of high-risk patients who really need to do gastroscopy in China is about 1.2-1.4 hundred million, but the number of people in national gastroscopy is less than 2000 ten thousand each year, and 1.0-1.2 hundred million people have no opportunity to accept gastroscopy.
According to the statistics of the national cancer center, the number of colorectal cancer incidences in 2016 China is 40.8 ten thousand, the death rate is 19.8 ten thousand, and the number of colorectal cancer incidences in 2016 is 2. Colorectal cancer mortality is closely related to colorectal cancer screening of people over 50 years old, and incidence and mortality of colorectal cancer can be remarkably reduced by receiving enteroscopy after fecal occult blood and genetic examination. The Chinese colorectal cancer is screened by about 3.6 hundred million of normal risk groups, namely, the examinees over 50 years old, at least 1 hundred million of the examinees should be accepted, and the number of the intestinal endoscopes per year is less than 1000 ten thousand, and 9000 ten thousand of the examinees cannot accept the intestinal endoscopes.
In the case of large gaps in gastroscopy and enteroscopy, purchasing a large number of gastroscopies and enteroscopies also fails to solve this problem, which is not a capital and equipment problem, but rather makes it impossible to cultivate so many digestive endoscopy operating doctors in a short period of time.
To solve this troublesome problem, global digestive endoscopists, physicists, and endoscope design engineers have made diligent efforts. The robotic system that handles conventional digestive endoscopes is: the RS-ALC system is adaptive to a master-slave endoscope operation system of a traditional colonoscope, the front end of the machine control is bent, the front end of the machine control is axially moved back and forth and rotated, and the system has the functions of navigation and automatic visual field centering, but is only useful for beginners; an EOR system for controlling the traditional colonoscope, a master-slave structure and a remote control function, has bidirectional tactile feedback, and successfully implements remote control digestive Endoscopy Submucosal Dissection (ESD) on animals, but has a huge structure and is difficult to deploy and disinfect indoors; and 3. The yunsrobot system comprises a master-slave controlled gastroscope auxiliary operation robot, a gastroscope conveying arm and an operation arm, wherein the operation coordination is difficult, the operation can not be performed like manual operation, the operation time is long, and the manual operation can not be replaced. Attempts to replace manually operated gastroscopy with a manipulator or robot have not been successful. In order to solve the problem, a global top expert designs a gastroscope enteroscopy system which is not universal at present, namely a robot system or a brand new intelligent endoscope system which is designed on the basis of the original digestive endoscope. Digestive endoscopy robotic system with autonomous locomotion capability: the Neoguide system is a multi-section endoscope robot with autonomous movement capability, a doctor is required to manually push and toggle a knob to complete operation, a scope body consists of 16 sections of sections which are independently driven, 3D navigation is performed, the bending form and the insertion depth of the endoscope are completed in real time, the gesture is adjusted in an active mode of a back section and a front section, the system provides a passive mode, a scope body can be restored to a common enteroscope, FDA approval is applied to clinic, and a large amount of head-to-head comparison clinical research is still required; the endotics system comprises a colonoscope robot with certain autonomous movement capability, a disposable probe and a workstation, wherein the colonoscope robot consists of a 110-degree visual angle camera, two directions are bent by 180 degrees, and an asynchronous clamping mechanism can accurately deliver the probe, so that the colonoscope robot has the advantage of relieving pain for a patient, but has a great gap in the aspects of inspection efficiency and inspection quality; the self-propelled air sac colonoscope consists of a workstation and a disposable endoscope, wherein the disposable endoscope consists of a shooting air sac, a panoramic camera, a closed air sac, an air supply and air exhaust pipeline and a rigid endoscope guide element, and colon inflation is used as the advancing power of the colonoscope, so that abdominal distension of a patient is obvious and is difficult to endure in the operation process.
In addition, in recent years, the mature magnetic control capsule endoscope is developed, so that the pains of patients such as nausea, abdominal pain, abdominal distention, fear discomfort and the like in gastroscopy are well solved, a large number of high-risk groups of stomach cancer accept the examination of comfort, but biopsy cannot be taken for suspicious lesions, and the wide clinical application of the magnetic control capsule endoscope is limited.

Step 2: the main machine opens the biopsy channel valve 20a of the biopsy channel 20 and the high negative pressure channel valve 9a of the first branch 9, and closes the other valves, i.e. opens only the biopsy channel 20 and the first branch 9 of the main machine, so that only the first branch 9 and the biopsy channel 20 are communicated between the capsule endoscope and the main machine.
Step 3: the host provides a strong negative pressure suction function, sucking the biopsy target tissue that is approaching and contacting the biopsy port 2 from the biopsy port 2 to the end of the biopsy channel 20 facing the biopsy port 2 via the first branch 9 and the biopsy channel 20.
Step 4: immediately after the biopsy target tissue is attracted to the biopsy channel 20, the host initiates a high pressure air flow to inflate the two air bags 6a, 6b via the high pressure air channel 7, and the two air bags 6a, 6b rapidly expand outwards during inflation, driving the two blades 5a, 5b to move towards the biopsy target tissue attracted to the biopsy channel 20, and cutting the biopsy target tissue attracted to the biopsy channel 20.
Step 5: the cut biopsy target tissue is attracted by negative pressure and enters a specimen recovery bottle of the host computer through the biopsy channel 20 and the first branch 9, so as to collect lesion tissues.
Step 6: after collecting the lesion tissue, the host stops the negative pressure suction, and simultaneously deflates the two air bags 6a, 6b via the high-pressure air passage 7 to enable the two air bags 6a, 6b to drive the two blades 5a, 5b to return, and the two blades 5a, 5b are restored to the open state.
It should be noted that the cut biopsy target tissue is sucked into the biopsy target tissue collecting sieve 9b in the main body rapidly, the sieve 9b and the biopsy target tissue on the sieve 9b are automatically put into the specimen storage bottle, and then the other sieve is automatically put into the position of the original sieve. In addition, 10 specimen storage bottles are arranged circumferentially in the host machine, and after the biopsy target tissue (namely the lesion tissue of the cut lesion part) is stored and sealed in the first specimen storage bottle, the first specimen storage bottle is removed and then the next empty specimen storage bottle is placed for preparing for the next biopsy. The biopsy sites are recorded on the specimen storage bottle and correspond to the serial numbers of the specimen storage bottle, so that the biopsy tissue of each biopsy site is stored and recorded independently, and the lesion condition of each biopsy site is favorable for definition and preparation for later treatment.
At present, the common capsule endoscope cannot adopt the scheme of needle biopsy or negative pressure cutting biopsy. Specifically, with the adoption of the scheme of needle biopsy, the needle biopsy has the advantages of less material, difficult pathological diagnosis, high false negative rate, smooth gastrointestinal wall and certain tension, even under anesthesia, the magnetic force can not provide enough force for biopsy, and the gastrointestinal wall can be avoided when the biopsy needle is pushed out by the magnetic force, so that the biopsy can not be performed. By adopting the scheme of negative pressure cutting biopsy, the capsule is small, a plurality of components are arranged in the capsule, a plurality of spaces are occupied, if negative pressure is generated in the capsule, the negative pressure is extremely small, the negative pressure cutting biopsy cannot be successfully performed at all, even if the negative pressure cutting biopsy is successfully performed, biopsy specimens of a plurality of parts are put together, the specific part of each biopsy cannot be distinguished, and the accurate position for taking the biopsy cannot be provided for the later treatment, so that the treatment is difficult. The invention provides a strong negative pressure for the biopsy channel 20 by the host, for example, provides a pressure of 20-40kpa for sucking tissue for cutting biopsy, and sucks the cut tissue to the host by the strong negative pressure, and the multi-part biopsy tissue is placed in different storage bottles, so that the marking of the material taking part is accurate, and an accurate position is provided for the subsequent treatment.

The method comprises the following steps:
1. target lesion cleaning function.
The procedure for washing the diseased tissue (i.e., rinsing the target lesion) is as follows:
step 1: when the target lesion needs to be cleaned, the host opens the biopsy channel valve 20a on the biopsy channel 20 and the cleaning target tissue channel valve 12a on the third branch 12 of the host, and closes the rest of the valves, namely only opens the biopsy channel 20 and the third branch 12 of the host, so that only the third branch 12 is communicated with the biopsy channel 20 between the capsule endoscope and the host.
Step 2: the host supplies water to the pathological tissues through the third branch 12, the biopsy channel 20 and the biopsy port 2, specifically, the host provides sterile water, the sterile water enters the biopsy channel 20 through the third branch 12 and is ejected through the biopsy port 2, the pathological tissues opposite to the biopsy port 2 are cleaned before biopsy, and the aim of cleaning target pathological changes is fulfilled.
2. The suction function of gas and liquid in the gastrointestinal cavity (gas-liquid suction function for short).
The procedure for drawing excess gas or liquid in the digestive tract is as follows:
step 1: when gas and/or liquid in the gastrointestinal tract are required to be sucked, the host opens the valve 20a on the biopsy channel 20 and the low negative pressure channel valve 13a on the fourth branch 13 of the host, and closes the other valves, namely only opens the biopsy channel 20 and the fourth branch 13, so that only the fourth branch 13 is communicated with the biopsy channel 20 between the capsule endoscope and the host.
Step 2: the host computer provides a low negative pressure (e.g., 40-50 kpa) to draw excess gas and/or liquid from the gastrointestinal tract through the biopsy port 2, biopsy channel 20, and fourth branch 13 to clean the field of view.
3. Biopsy channel cleaning function.
The steps for cleaning the biopsy channel 20 are as follows:
step 1: after the gas and/or liquid of the gastrointestinal tract is sucked, the biopsy channel 20 needs to be cleaned, at this time, the host opens the biopsy channel valve 20a on the biopsy channel 20 and the cleaning target tissue channel valve 12a on the third branch 12 of the host, and closes the rest of the valves, i.e. only opens the biopsy channel 20 and the third branch 12 of the host, so that only the third branch 12 and the biopsy channel 20 are communicated between the capsule endoscope and the host.
Step 2: the host computer supplies water to the biopsy channel 20 via the third branch 12, and cleans the biopsy channel 20 with positive pressure to clean the target lesion, leaving the biopsy channel 20 always in a clean state.
4. CCD mirror surface cleaning function.
The cobra-shaped capsule endoscope of the present invention further comprises:
and the mirror surface cleaning system is arranged inside the capsule shell 1 and is used for cleaning a CCD mirror surface of the imaging system.
Referring to fig. 6, the mirror cleaning system includes:
two cleaning nozzles 8a, 8b located beside the two CCDs 3a, 3b of the imaging system, respectively, and distributed at two positions 180 ° apart, specifically, the cleaning nozzle 8a is located beside the CCD3a, and the cleaning nozzle 8b is located beside the CCD3b, for jetting air or water to the mirrors of the two CCDs 3a, 3b, respectively, so as to clean the mirrors of the CCDs 3a, 3 b;

The steps of cleaning the mirrors of the two CCDs 3a, 3b of the imaging system are as follows:
step 1: when the CCD mirror surface is required to be cleaned, the host opens the valve 14a on the mirror surface cleaning branch 14 and the valve 11a on the second branch 11 of the host to communicate the mirror surface cleaning branch 14 with the second branch 11, and closes the rest of the valves, so that only the second branch 11, the biopsy channel 20 and the mirror surface cleaning branch 14 are communicated between the capsule endoscope and the host
The biopsy channel valve 20a is arranged at a position close to the biopsy port 2 after the biopsy channel 20 branches off the mirror cleaning branch 14, and by closing the biopsy channel valve 20a, a biopsy channel between the entrance of the mirror cleaning branch and the biopsy port can be closed.

For example, before cleaning the lesion tissue, the direction control system controls the biopsy port 2 located at the head of the capsule endoscope to be directly opposite to the lesion tissue to be cleaned under the control of the host computer so that the sterile water sprayed from the biopsy port 2 can be cleaned to the lesion tissue. For another example, if the gastrointestinal lumen has not straightened after changing the patient's posture, the directional control system may control the head direction of the capsule endoscope under the control of the host computer so that the capsule endoscope passes through the curve by changing the head direction of the capsule endoscope.
The direction control system can adopt the lens steering system of the existing gastroscope enteroscope, and can also adopt the structure of figure 3.
