The current invention provides devices, methods and systems involving application of energy and/or a liquefaction promoting medium to a tissue of interest to generate a liquefied sample comprising tissue constituents so as to provide for rapid tissue sampling, tissue decontamination as well as qualitative and/or quantitative detection of analytes that may be part of tissue constituents (e.g., several types ofbiomolecules, drugs and microbes). In addition, the current invention provides specific compositions of the said liquefaction promoting medium so as to facilitate liquefaction, preserve liquefied tissue constituents, and enable delivery of molecules into tissues. Determination of tissue composition in the liquefied tissue sample can be used in a variety of applications, including diagnosis or prognosis of local as well as systemic diseases, evaluating bioavailability of therapeutics in different tissues following drug administration, forensic detection of drugs-of-abuse, evaluating changes in the tissue microenvironment following exposure to a harmful agent, and various other applications. The methods, devices and systems are used to deliver one or more drugs through or into the site of the tissue to be liquefied.
本发明提供的装置、方法和系统涉及对相关组织施加能量和/或液化促进介质,以产生包含组织成分的液化样本,从而提供快速组织取样、组织净化以及定性和/或定量检测可能是组织成分一部分的分析物(例如,几种类型的
生物大分子、药物和微
生物)。此外,本发明还提供了上述液化促进介质的特定成分,以促进液化,保存液化的组织成分,并将分子输送到组织中。液化组织样本中组织成分的测定可用于多种应用,包括局部和全身性疾病的诊断或预后、评估给药后治疗药物在不同组织中的
生物利用度、滥用药物的法医检测、评估暴露于有害制剂后组织微环境的变化以及其他各种应用。这些方法、装置和系统用于将一种或多种药物通过待液化组织的部位或进入该部位。
