摘要


呼吸運動是造成空氣中粒狀物進入人體的主要原因,而微粒於不同呼吸道的沉積會造成不同的健康效應,其主要沉積機制會受到微粒的粒徑大小、帶電量、密度,以及人體呼吸方式而有所不同。近十年來,在工業衛生及醫療上,微粒於呼吸道沉積的研究倍受關注,除了對於人體健康危害的疑慮,利用微粒做為藥物輸送的治療方式,因其為非侵入性的治療且吸收快,成為醫療上的一大利器。因此有必要探討如何有效率及快速的量測微粒於人體呼吸道的沉積率。本研究的主要目的為建置一個利用氣團微粒量測肺部沉積率的系統,探討 (1)利用此系統和快速量測系統做比較,以達與國際間研究比較的可性度,(2)bolus在實際應用上可能發生之問題做進一步改良,提升bolus技術的效能。 以光學量測方式測量微粒濃度的優點為,可減少傳統使用微粒計數的量測儀器其因抽氣造成不必要損失,但在使用上就必須注意光源的強度及環境雜反光的影響,以避免出現無法判讀的訊號。氣團微粒的體積大小則會受到壓力以及注入時間長短而影響,在設定注入時間2.00秒及壓力為2.4kPa時,輸出體積約為90毫升;注在入時間0.03秒及壓力為1.2kPa時,輸出體積約為1.5毫升。在固定壓力下,放入時間越長,則氣團擴散情形會越嚴重,其波形半高寬度,分別在注入0.03秒和0.50秒時,為0.1公分增加至0.65公分,因而降低其測量局部沉積的解析力。在注入時間為0.05秒時,兩者差異約為50%,注入時間為0.08秒時,差異約為5%,注入時間大於0.1時,兩者並無顯著差異。為選擇在精確度和解析度皆佳的條件,應放入時間0.08秒,有較佳的判讀。以真人測試的結果,可發現CPC和PMT計算出回復率約差5%;若在呼吸測試時,吐氣吐到殘餘容積時,則會有較高的回覆率。 本研究實驗結果,建議可將此系統運用在未來呼吸治療線上即時監測系統的開發。

Inhalation is the most important route of entry for aerosol particles. Further, it is necessary to determine the specific region of particle deposition for properly evaluating human health risk. The particle deposition in the respiratory system depends on the particle size, particle charge condition, particle density and breathing pattern. In the past decade, particle deposition in the respiratory tract is become popular research for drug delivery because of it is non-invasive and rapid absorption in medical care and industrial hygiene. Therefore, it is necessary to discuss how to measure the particle deposition in the respiratory tract in a rapid and efficient way. The aim of this study was to development and characterization of an aerosol bolus system for lung deposition measurement to, and (1) verify the availability of the system to compare to prior studies, (2) improve the efficiency of the system. Use of optical measurement could reduce particles loss due to unnecessary pumping, but it is worth noting that the laser intensity and stray- light background of the optical chamber. The aerosol bolus size was determined by the injection time and upstream pressure proportionally. The maximum of the bolus size would be set under the pressure 2.4 kPa and set injection time at 2.00 second, which output volume is approximately 90 ml; on the other hand, the minimum of the bolus size would be set under the pressure 1.2 kPa and set injection time at 0.03 second, which output volume is about 1.5 ml. When the injection time gets longer, the bolus would be more dispersed in the air under constant pressure, the half-width of bolus is 0.1 cm for Tinj 0.05 sec and 0.65 cm for Tinj 0.5 sec. The recovery rate of PMT will be more close to CPC on longer injection time. As the result, the injection time should be set at 0.08 second to avoid the bad resolution of the experiment. In the human test, the recovery rate is 5% difference between CPC and PMT; in addition, if exhaled to residual volume in the test, the recovery rate would be higher. This study recommended to development an real time on-line monitoring of respiratory therapy system by using the result of this experiment in the future.
