Further, in order to improve the effect of measuring the conductivity and the temperature, in the case of designing the positions of the conductivity probe 4 and the thermistor 5, for example, in the implantable electrode shown in fig. 3, the conductivity probe 4 is disposed between the electrode sheet 2 of the first row and the first column and the electrode sheet 2 of the first row and the second column, the thermistor 5 is disposed between the electrode sheet 2 of the first row and the second column and the electrode sheet 2 of the first row and the third column, and the thermistor 5 is also disposed between the electrode sheet 2 of the second row and the second column. The conductivity probes 4 and the thermistors 5 are staggered, so that more accurate conductivity information and temperature information can be obtained.
In the implantable electrode provided in this embodiment, the thermistor 5 and the conductivity probe 4 are disposed between the electrode plates 2, so that the conductivity and the temperature near the electric field formed by the electrode plates 2 can be measured in real time, and a relatively accurate measurement result can be obtained, thereby improving the therapeutic effect of the implantable electrode.

Further, in order to improve the effect of measuring the conductivity and the temperature, the conductivity probe 4 and the thermistor 5 should be staggered in order to design the positions of the conductivity probe 4 and the thermistor 5, for example, in the implantable electrode shown in fig. 5, the conductivity probe 4 is disposed under the electrode sheet 2 of the first row and the first column, and the thermistor 5 is disposed under both the electrode sheet 2 of the first row and the second column adjacent to the electrode sheet 2 of the first row and the first column. The conductivity probes 4 and the thermistors 5 are staggered, so that more accurate conductivity information and temperature information can be obtained.
In the implantable electrode provided in this embodiment, the thermistor 5 and the conductivity probe 4 are disposed below the electrode plate 2, so that the conductivity and the temperature near the electric field formed by the electrode plate 2 can be measured in real time, and a relatively accurate measurement result can be obtained, thereby improving the therapeutic effect of the implantable electrode; the arrangement mode is beneficial to the arrangement design of the electrode plates 2 and the reduction of the volume of the implanted electrode.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 4 and 6, the electrode sheet 2 includes a conductive layer 21 and a dielectric layer 22 surrounding the conductive layer 21, and the material of the dielectric layer 22 has biocompatibility. Wherein the conductive layer 21 coated with the dielectric layer 21 may be coupled to form a capacitor.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 7, the implantable electrodes 100 are implanted in a target site of a patient in a preset manner, and each pair of implantable electrodes 100 is disposed opposite to each other. The target part of the patient is the focus of the patient, namely the part of the patient with tumor. "implantable electrode 100 is disposed opposite" means that sub-electrodes in implantable electrode 100 are disposed opposite, for example, when carrier body 1 includes base layer 11 and cover layer 12, "implantable electrode 100 is disposed opposite" means that cover layer 12 in implantable electrode 100 is disposed opposite.
Alternatively, as shown in fig. 7 and 8, in the cell division suppressing device provided in the present embodiment, the voltage generating module 2002 is a pulse voltage generating module 2002 or an AC voltage generating module 2002.

The pulsed electric field or the alternating electric field acts on the tumor cells to inhibit the division of the tumor cells, thereby achieving the purpose of tumor treatment.
For dividing cells, when the cell is in the middle stage of cell division, an electric field acts on the cells, electric field lines induced in the cells are gathered at the equatorial plate, and organelles are subjected to electric field force directed to the equatorial plate, and the electric field force can limit the organelles to move towards two poles, so that the cell division can be inhibited to a certain extent.
In addition, as the cell division degree is deepened (i.e. the equatorial plate is narrowed), the electric field lines at the equatorial plate become denser toward the end of the cell division, and the increased electric field can pull the organelles toward the equatorial plate, thereby preventing the formation of the cell plate, inhibiting the cell division, and even inducing the cell rupture or apoptosis.
Further, the accumulation of organelles at the equatorial plate can lead to an increase in pressure near the equatorial plate, which can rupture the cell membrane, especially in the constricted state of the equatorial plate. And the electric field force applied to the organelle also affects the structure of the organelle, so that the organelle can be induced to be broken or ruptured, and then the cell is induced to be ruptured or apoptotic.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 8, the cell division suppression device provided in this embodiment further includes a main controller 200, where the main controller 200 includes a voltage generation module 2002 and a signal conversion module 2004, the voltage generation module 2002 is electrically connected to the other end of the flexible wire 3 and is used for generating an electrical signal, and the signal conversion module 2004 includes a conductivity converter, and the conductivity converter is used for obtaining real-time conductivity of a target site of a patient according to the conductivity signal.
The cell division suppression device provided in this embodiment includes a main controller 200 and implanted electrodes 100, where the main controller 200 includes a voltage generation module 2002 and a signal conversion module 2004, the voltage generation module 2002 is used to generate an electrical signal and transmit the electrical signal to the sub-electrodes of the corresponding implanted electrodes 100 through the flexible wires 3, so that each implanted electrode 100 has a corresponding voltage, and a voltage difference exists between the voltages on a pair of implanted electrodes 100 that are oppositely disposed, so as to form an electric field acting on a target site of a patient.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 8, in the cell division suppression device provided in this embodiment, the master controller 200 further includes a housing 2001, the voltage generation module 2002 and the signal conversion module 2004 are located in the housing 2001, and the material of the housing 2001 has biocompatibility. The biocompatible material can reduce damage caused by patients and improve the safety of the device for inhibiting cell division.
