Description
本願は2004年10月5日出願の米国特許仮出願連続番号第60/616,254号と2004年11月2日出願の米国特許仮出願連続番号第60/624,793号のそれぞれの出願日の優先権を主張するものであり、引例に挙げることにより両出願の開示内容はその全体が本明細書の一部を成しているものとする。更に、本願は2003年4月8日出願の同時係属中の米国特許出願連続番号第10/408,665号の部分継続出願であり、かかる出願は2003年11月20日に米国特許公開2003/0216792号として公開されており、また、かかる出願は2002年4月8日出願の米国特許仮出願連続番号第60/370,190号、2002年10月3日出願の第60/415,575号、2003年1月29日出願の第60/442,970号の出願日の優先権を主張するものであり、引例に挙げることによりこれら出願は全てその全体が本明細書の一部を成すものとする。
本明細書に言及されている刊行物や特許出願は全て、個々の刊行物または特許出願の内容が詳細かつ個別的に言及されることにより本明細書の文書内容の一部を構成している場合と同じ程度に、タイトルまたは番号に言及するだけで本明細書の一部を構成しているものとする。
慢性腎不全で糸球体の過剰濾過が進み、透過率が増大すると、より多量の蛋白が血液から糸球体を介して腎臓の細管内に押出される。このような蛋白は細管にとって直接有害となり、ネフロンを更に喪失させ、慢性腎不全の進行速度を高める。更にネフロンが喪失されたのに伴って糸球体濾過率が低下しても、このような慢性腎不全の悪循環が継続し、過剰濾過が更に進んで最終的に末期腎不全(ESRD)を起こし、透析の必要が生じる。臨床的には、高血圧症と過剰蛋白濾過は慢性腎不全の末期腎不全へ至る進行速度の2つの主要な判定因子であることが分かっている。
本発明は、腎神経調節、および/または、それ以外の腎神経調節の方法および装置に関するものである。特に、本発明は、パルス電界を利用して電気穿孔または電気融合を実施する、腎神経調節の方法および装置に関連している。本件で使用されているように、電気穿孔および電気透過促進は、細胞膜または細胞内装置を操作する方法である。例えば、短い高エネルギーパルスは細胞膜に穿孔を開口させる。細胞膜の有孔率の程度(例えば、穿孔の寸法と数)および穿孔の持続期間(例えば、一時的または恒久的)は、電界強度、パルス幅、デューティーサイクル、電界配向、細胞種類、および、それ以外のパラメータの関数である。一般に、強度の低いほうの電界と幅が短いほうのパルスが終端すると、一般的に自発的に穿孔は閉じる(本件では、「可逆電気穿孔」と定義される)。細胞種類は各々が臨界閾を有しており、そのレベルを越えると穿孔は閉じず、穿孔形成が可逆的ではなくなるが、このような結果は「不可逆電気穿孔」、「不可逆ブレークダウン」、または、「不可逆損傷」と定義される。この時点で、細胞膜は破裂し、かつ/または、高い有孔率によって生じた不可逆化学不均衡が発生する。このような高い有孔率は1個の大きな孔、および/または、複数の小さな孔の結果である場合がある。腎神経調節で採用するのにも適切である、或る種の電気穿孔エネルギーパラメータは持続時間がサブマイクロ秒範囲の高電圧パルスであり(ナノ秒パルス電界、すなわち、nsPEF)、これにより細胞膜は無傷のままでありながら、細胞死または細胞破壊を引き起こす態様で細胞内装置または細胞の機能を変化させることができる。ナノ秒パルス電界の或る応用例が、急性的な細胞死ではなくアポプトーシスによる自滅を誘発することにより細胞死を引き起こすものであることは既に例示した。また、「(構成要素として)備えている、設けられている、含んでいる、〜から構成されている(comprising)」という語が本件全体で使用されているが、機能部分を列挙するにあたり、同じ機能部分の個数が多い場合、および/または、別なタイプの機能部分が追加される場合を排除せずに、少なくとも列挙した機能部分を含むことを意味する。
ここで図1を参照すると、人間の腎構造の腎臓Kには腎動脈RAにより酸素添加された血液が供給され、この腎動脈は腹部大動脈AAによって心臓に接続されている。脱酸素化された血液か腎臓を出て、腎静脈RVと下位大静脈IVCを通って心臓に流入する。図2は腎臓の解剖学的構造の一部をより詳細に例示している。より詳細に述べると、腎構造の腎神経RNは、一般的に動脈の血管外膜の内側で、腎動脈RAの長手寸法L沿いに長軸線方向に延びている。腎動脈RAは、動脈の角度軸θの周囲で、すなわち、動脈の周面の周囲で動脈の内周螺旋を包囲する平滑筋細胞SMCを含んでいる。従って、腎動脈の平滑筋細胞の長手寸法すなわち長い方の寸法は、腎動脈の長尺寸法に対して横断する方向(すなわち、平行な方向ではない)に延びている。腎神経の長尺部と平滑筋細胞の長尺部の不整列は、「細胞不整列」と定義される。
図4は、本発明による血管内パルス電界装置200の1個以上の電極が腎臓血管内の標的領域に物理的に接触して、血管の壁を越えてパルス電界を印加している実施形態を例示している。装置200は患者の腎動脈RAの内部にあるように図示されているが、この装置はこれ以外の血管内部位(例えば、腎静脈)に設置されてもよい。装置200のこのような実施形態は血管内カテーテル210を備えており、カテーテルには近位部211a、遠位部211b、遠位部211bの複数の遠位電極212が設けられている。近位部211aは通常はカテーテル210をパルス発生装置に連結する電極コネクタを有しており、この実施形態の遠位部211bは螺旋形状を有している。装置200は、患者の近位で体外に設置されたパルス電界発生装置100に電気接続されており、電極212はカテーテル210により電界発生装置に電気接続されている。電界発生装置100は、後段で説明されるような、所望の電界パラメータでパルス電界を印加する本発明の実施形態のいずれと併用されてもよい。電界発生装置が各変形例に関して明瞭に図示または説明されていない場合でも、後段で説明する実施形態の電極を電界発生装置と接続することができるものと理解するべきである。
Q = VA (1)
この場合、Qは流量に等しく、Vは流速に等しく、Aは断面積に等しい。
腎臓血液流の基準は、刺激波形の伝搬前にセンサー352からの測定値により判定することができ、刺激は、好ましくはバルーン284が収縮された状態で、両電極286の間を伝達される。腎臓血液流の基準からの変動、すなわち、血液流の不足をセンサー352を使って監視することで、腎神経の神経刺激および/または神経伝達不能化の最適部位を識別することができる。
