摘要:

目的 构建吞咽动态模型以模拟舌运动幅度下降导致的吞咽障碍。

方法 通过CT和电视荧光吞咽造影检查(VFSS)的医学影像数据建立吞咽动态模型,采用有限元法和光滑粒子流体动力法(SPH)分别模拟软组织和食团,将同一时刻模型姿态与12例吞咽障碍患者VFSS影像数据对比,采用归一化方法定量评估吞咽动态模型的有效性;通过调整不同黏度下吞咽动态模型的舌运动幅度,探索舌运动在吞咽过程中的作用机制和评估吞咽安全的有效性。

结果 吞咽动态模型呈现的舌运动姿态和食团轨迹与VFSS影像高度一致,VFSS影像会厌附近区域亮度与仿真结果中SPH粒子数等效亮度高度相关(r= 0.97)。舌运动幅度下降20%时,误吸粒子数、吞咽有效性和口咽腔内食团粒子平均速度均表现良好;布丁型流体在舌运动幅度下降较大的情况下,仍表现出良好的吞咽特性。

结论 吞咽动态模型能模拟人体吞咽过程,为吞咽障碍患者的康复训练和特医食品开发提供较好支持,具有临床应用潜力。

Abstract:

Objective To construct a swallowing dynamic model for simulating dysphagia caused by reduced tongue movement amplitude.

Methods A swallowing dynamic model was established based on medical imaging data from CT and videofluoroscopic swallowing study (VFSS). The finite element method was used to simulate soft tissues, while the smoothed particle hydrodynamics method (SPH) was used to simulate bolus. The model's posture at each time point was compared with the imaging data of VFSS from twelve patients with dysphagia, and a normalization method was used for quantitative evaluation of the model's validity. By adjusting the tongue movement amplitude under different viscosity conditions, the role of tongue movement in the swallowing process was investigated, and the swallowing safety and efficiency were assessed.

Results The tongue posture and bolus trajectory presented by the swallowing dynamic model were consistent with the VFSS imaging. The brightness in the epiglottis area in VFSS images correlated with the equivalent brightness of SPH particles in the simulation results (r = 0.97). As the tongue movement amplitude reducing by 20%, the number of aspirated particles, swallowing efficiency and the average velocity of bolus particles in the oropharyngeal cavity all performed well. Pudding-like fluids exhibited favorable swallowing characteristics even when tongue movement amplitude reducing significantly.

Conclusion The swallowing dynamic model can simulate the human swallowing process, providing good support for rehabilitation training of patients with dysphagia and the development of specialized medical foods, demonstrating significant potential for clinical applications.
