Description

The present invention relates to a novel synthetic resin containing fine powder of nephrite-type jade and to a process for its preparation.

More particularly, the present invention relates to a synthetic resin which has an excellent effect in our daily life for the treatment of pathological symptoms (headache, feeling of numbness, indigestion, insomnia or the like), removal of impurities ( such as heavy metals), improving water quality, promoting plant growth or the like, by incorporating nephrite-type jade powder having a very fine combination of wavy tremolite-type fibrous microstructure cryptocrystalline in synthetic resin raw materials, for example thermoplastic resins like polyethylene (PE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), acrylonitrilebutadiene-styrene (ABS) copolymer or thermosetting resins like phenol, melamine -urea or the like during the preparation process; or by incorporating the nephrite-type jade powder during the manufacturing process for utensils, recreation equipment, for sports as well as a container or packaging articles during the manufacturing process of the articles.

As is generally known, jade is broadly subdivided into jadeite and nephrite type jade.

Jadeite belongs to the pyroxene family and has a monoclinic system comprising silicic acid, aluminum oxide and sodium hydroxide. It is an intimate mass and its hardness is comparable to that of crystal. It is transparent or translucent, black, blue green or green. People commonly call jadeite "jade".

Nephrite-type jade is an inorganic material having a monoclinic system of inosilicates.

The quality of nephrite-type jade is determined by the fine structure and the finer the fiber, the better the quality (Journal of Mining Promotion, 1993, New Year Edition, the Korea Mining
Promotion Corporation).

According to German medical literature [Mauda
Palmer Die Verborgene, "KRAFF der KRISTALLE und der
EDELSTEINE "], the two different ores, jadeite and nephrite-type jade, both include silicon and oxygen, like most other gemstones. However, jadeite is formed of granular crystals while jade of the nephrite type nephritis consists of a bunch of crystals and aggregates of microparticles with a fibrous structure resembling hair.

In particular, nephrite-type jade has three elements, Ca, Fe, and Mg, which are good for the human body while jadeite has components of sodium and aluminum. Thus, it was recently reported that nephrite type jade, when attached to the body, has a tremendous effect in the treatment of hypertension, diabetes, circulatory system disorders, heart disease and kidney disorders.

A classic of traditional oriental medicine, "Treasures in oriental medicine" describes that if jade is added to black rice liquor, it changes the liquor to water and the absorption of jade powder to a size like grains of rice. sesame is good for waste disposal. Likewise, this describes that when jade powder (1 part by volume), rice (1 part by volume) and white dew (3 parts by volume) are cooked into rice in a copper vessel, the powder jade becomes water (this is called jade liquid, "diviner's jade water").

"Plants of Devine Agriculture", "Plants of Tang
Age "and" List of Basic Plants "describe that the absorption of jade powder to a size resembling sesame seeds enriches five viscera and six innards and allows the complete evacuation of residual material. In addition, it is effective for digestive system by removing heat from stomach and this is good for treating bronchial asthma, body fever and feeling of heaviness in the rib cage as well as thirst. When jade powder is absorbed for a long time, the body becomes easy and light, the functioning of the lungs is improved, the production of voice by the vocal cords becomes easier. Likewise, it is good for the throat, the nutrition of the hair, the functions of the five viscera and six bowels and the treatment of nervous diseases like stress. In addition, the components of nephritis type jade reveal excellent functions in the body without side effect. For example, the absorption of The white jade powder is good for tension or cramping in the muscles, and rubbing with nephrite type jade on the injured skin for several days will remove the scar. As described above, the main components of nephrite-type jade have been known from ancient times to have excellent effect on human body without noticeable adverse effect. ["Treasures in oriental medicine and" List of
Basic Plants "]
However, since nephrite-type jade does not exist in large quantities in nature, its use is restricted to personal jewelry adornments, such as necklaces, rings, bracelets, or the like, despite its well-known excellent medical functions. . In addition, the processing of nephrite type jade requires delicate efforts of experts with a lot of experience, and nephrite type jade is economically disadvantageous, having a very high price, therefore the development of general practical articles, using jade nephritis type, is needed intensely.

The present inventors have paid attention to the excellent medical effects of nephrite-type jade and have studied intensely for many years and hence have found that molded articles which have been molded by a conventional method but by mixing jade powder of the cryptocrystalline tremolite nephrite type of a180 with the raw material of the synthetic resin, during the preparation of the raw material or the manufacturing process of the synthetic resin product, give heavy metal removal, water removal activities. an annoying odor, promoting plant growth, improving the quality of the water and also improving the physical properties of the product itself, resulting in the invention.

Thus, it is an object of the present invention to provide a novel synthetic resin having excellent medical and physical effects due to the inherent properties of nephrite-type jade (powder) when applied to utensils such as tableware, products. for sports or recreation, articles for agriculture such as gardening, fishing articles such as fish traps, traffic articles such as automobile components, transport articles, films for packaging food, medical articles such as parts of glasses, electronic instruments such as electrical or electronic parts.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a process for the preparation of a synthetic resin having an excellent effect, by the addition of nephrite-type jade powder during the preparation of the raw material of the synthetic resin or the manufacture. of the resin product while stirring or kneading.

Another object of the present invention is to maximize the use of nephrite-type jade powder which is a residue or residue from mining or careful processing of nephrite jade ornaments.

The invention will be better understood and other objects, characteristics, details and advantages thereof will appear more clearly in the explanatory description which follows, given with reference to the appended schematic drawings given solely by way of example illustrating several embodiments. of the invention and in which

The particle size of the nephrite-type jade powder used in the present invention can be selected by considering the synthetic resin material and the use of the molded article. In general, a nephrite-type jade powder having a particle size of 100 - 350 mesh is suitably used. If the shape of the molded article is complicated or if increased ductility is required, for example, in the Where the article has a small thickness, finer particles (about 250 - 350 mesh) are preferably used while 100 - 500 mesh powder can be added in order to prepare a general molded article. If the particle size is larger than the range, it is disadvantageous because the surface roughness of the article increases while If the particle size is smaller than this samme, difficulties arise in spraying.

The amount of nephrite-type jade which is added to the raw materials (resin) is desirably 5-15%. If the amount is less than 5%, the e'fe: of nephrite type jade cannot be expected. The larger the quantity, the better the effect of nephrite type jade. However, if the quantity is beyond the range, the properties of the remainder as a raw material (especially its ductility) are lowered which makes the article brittle, the flowability in molding is lowered and the price. of the product is increased due to the high price of nephrite type jade. Thus, the amount of 15% by weight or less is suitable.

The nephrite-type jade powder used in the present invention can be made from the stone which remains of the nephrite-type jade after making the personal jewelry products, vessels or sculpture in order to lower the production price to improve the economy. By using the resin, a wide variety of articles for practical use can be obtained which have the inherent properties of nephrite-type jade at a much lower price than products obtained from nephrite-type jade itself (e.g. jade ball).

The nephrite-type jade powder used in the present invention is cryptocrystalline tremolite of c180, having the composition shown in Table 1 which follows, but the present invention is not limited to the composition.

1. The weight of the larvae of the jade-treated group was greater than that of the control group at each molt.

In particular, in the case of the mature larva, the weight of the jade treated group was 0.13 g greater per larva than that of the control group.

2. The pupation percentage of the jade treated group was 71.2%, ie 15% lower than for the control group. The amount of silk production per 10,000 silkworms in the jade-treated group was 15.4%, which was 7% lower than for the control group.

3 The weight of the single cocoon of the jade-treated group was 2.14 g which was about 6 t larger than that of the control group. In addition, the weight of the cocoon shell of the jade treated group was 44.5 µg which is about 9 t higher than that of the control group. The percentage of the cocoon shell of the jade treated group was 2% greater, expressed by index, compared to the control group.

4. The breeding performance of the jade treated group was generally better than that of the control group. In particular, the jade treated group was excellent in view of COCO filament length, cocoon filament weight and coiling ability (over 9t compared to the control group).

5. From the quality point of the silk thread, the silk thread of the jade treated group was slightly superior to that of the control group in thickness, strength, elongation and raw silk ratio. But the yield of silk production per 10,000 silkworms was lower than that of the control group.

6. No significant difference revealed between the surface structure of the control group and the jade treated group.

7. The decreasing effects of the blood glucose content of the jade-treated group were 70.3 t, 24% greater than for the control group.

8. The crystal structure of the nephrite-type jade used in the experiment was a rod structure with a pointed end.

Experimental Example 6
The experiment was performed to investigate the effect of the containers (vat) made of synthetic resin containing nephrite-type jade according to the present invention (Example 1 - 3) on the coldness of the pig when the pork was stored in the vat. . The experiment was performed by the Korea Food Research Institute. Details are described below:
The pork was stored either in a synthetic resin tank containing nephrite-type jade or in a crude tank (control) for 0,4,7,14 or 21 days at OOC or 40C. One hundred grams (100 g) of pork cut from the ham part was maintained in each container, while the drip loss, meat color, pH, volatile basic nitrogen (VBN: protein denaturation) and lipid oxidation (TBA), are measured.

Figure 3A shows the effect of the jade container on
drip loss (%) when pork was stored at
0 C or 4 C for 21 days.

Figure 3B shows the effect of the jade container on the pH of the meat when the pork has been stored at OOC or 40C for 21 days.

Figure 3C shows the effect of the jade container on the VBN content when the pork has been stored at OOC or 40C for 21 days.

Figure 3D shows the effect of the jade container on the TBA value when the pork has been stored at OOC or 40C for 21 days.

Figure 3E shows the effect of the jade container on the color of the meat when the pork has been stored at OOC or 40C for 21 days.

As can be seen from the results, the drip loss was much lower in the pork stored in the jade tank and tended to be significantly reduced over time regardless of the storage temperature. As an important indicator of postmortem muscle change, pH normally drops immediately after slaughter and then remains as high as 6.5 - 6.8. In the present experiment, the type of the container did not seem to affect the change in pH (although the pH at 40C is higher than 0C) or the VBN value (which indicates the degree of protein denaturation) of the pig. directly. However, the value of
TBA (which indicates the degree of oxidation) of lipids was kept lower in the pork stored in the jade tank, regardless of the storage temperature. The color of the meat was measured by a color difference meter due to absorption and reflection of the color pigment of the meat. The value of AE was lower in the control (crude tank group) than in the jade tank group at 0 C and a constant trend was not observed in the pig stored at 40 C although the value of bE at 0 C is lower than that at 40C. This may be the result of higher metmyoglobin formation due to further dehydration caused by the high temperature.

From experience, If Containers made of jade or packaging materials (such as polyvinyl film) coated with jade powder are used in food storage, it helps to maintain the sanitary condition and quality in the food industry. distribution of corruptible foods, thus extending shelf life and improving safety.

Experimental Example 10
The experiment is to research the effect of synthetic resin tiles containing jade and water containing jade which floats after precipitation of jade powder, on reproduction and growth in rats, when jade tiles were placed on the cage and jade water was provided instead of tap water. This was accomplished by Korea Food
Research Institue. Details are described below.

Thirty male and female Sprague Dawley rats (9 weeks old) were assigned to each treatment. Group A rats were housed in cages with a jade tile and provided with tap water. Group B rats received the water with jade supernatant after precipitation of the jade powder (2 mg / ml tap water), but no jade tile was placed on the cage. Group C rats formed a control group (no jade tiles and no jade water). The rats were mated for nine days and then the male rats separated and sacrificed for sperm concentration and motility tests. The results are shown in Table 15 below

Besides these findings, the sperm concentration and motility in group A and B rats were greater than C. However, the effects of the treatments with the jade tile and with the jade water at the same time were not. researched in this study.

In conclusion, the results suggest that jade tile and jade water appear to affect reproduction and growth in rats: both the jade tile and jade water treatment groups showed better reproduction and growth indices. It would be very worthwhile to research these effects more extensively for wider application.

These findings can be applied as baseline data for improving reproductive efficiency and enhancing sperm concentration and motility rate.

Experimental Example 11
The experiment was to investigate the relieving effect of various jade products on the symptoms of diabetes mellitus when various jade products were applied to rats with streptozotocin-induced diabetes mellitus. This was accomplished by the Korea Food
Research Institute. Details are described below (See Figures 4A, 4B, 4C, 4D, 4E and 4F).

Thirty-two (32) Sprague Dawley rats weighing 252,292 g were given streptozoticin [35 - 40 mg (per kg body weight) dissolved in 0.1 M citrate buffer pH 4.0] per peritoneal route to induce diabetes. Seven days after the administration of streptozocitin, rats with a blood glucose level greater than 25 mg / dl were selected based on the uropapier (Eiken Chemical Co., Ltd.,
Japan). Four experimental groups of 5 rats each were employed for 50 days of the experimental period. Group A rats were injected with 1.0 ml of distilled jade water peritoneally (pH 6.4) each day. Group B rats were housed in cages fitted with jade tiles at the bottom throughout the experiment. Group C rats were fed water with jade supernatant after jade powder precipitation, as drinking water, daily. Group D rats as a control received no treatment. The diets provided were commercial rat food and the rats were treated according to general practice. Rats were sacrificed on day 50 and blood was collected from the abdominal aorta. Plasma was prepared from centrifugation of the heparin-containing blood at 5000 rpm for 15 min, after the blood had stood at room temperature for 30 minutes. The organs (liver, kidneys) removed were weighed and recorded. The measures tested in blood plasma were HBA (plasma ss-hydroxybutyrate), FFA (free fatty acids), cholesterol, HDL cholesterol and triglycerides. The HBA content is qualitatively analyzed by measuring the increase in Absorbance (OD) of NADH), which is produced by oxidation of ss-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase, at 340 nm. Lipids in the blood were measured using a clinical set (Eiken
Chemical Co., Ltd., Japan).

The weight of group C rers was the lowest among the treatments outside the control. Liver weight was also increased due to induction of diabetes, but liver weight was lowest in rats given jade water. The concentrations of glucose in the blood, the body of ketone and FFA being higher in the order of groups A, B, C and D. The concentration of cholesterol and triglyceride in the blood plasma followed the same trend (A>B>C> D) with respect to the parameters mentioned above. From the results, the rats given jade skin (group C) showed comparatively lower values of all the parameters measured rather than the other two experimental groups, and the cholesterol concentrations and
Blood FFAs were lower in Group C rats than the control without any jade treatment.

The concentration of TC (cholesterol in the blood) and
TG (neutral lipid) was in the order of A>B>C> D. The result of the glycemic index by the reaction of blood sugar after a meal changes according to the researchers.

However, in the experiment, although commercial mixed feed (TMR) was provided without considering the glycemic index of the cereals, group C given the jade water showed a hyperlipidemia relieving effect, l one of the symptoms of diabetes. This produced no difference in HDL cholesterol concentration between the test groups.

Administration of jade water to streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats has shown the effects of preventing body weight reduction, preventing kidney or liver enlargement as well as relieving hyperlipidemia, one of the factors. symptoms of diabetes.

Experimental example 12
The study was performed to investigate the effects of nephrite-type jade on lowering the blood pressure of spontaneously hypertensive rats when jade litters were placed in place of raw straw in the rat cages. The experiment was performed by the Korea Food Research Institute.

Details are described below.

Twelve eight week old male SHRs were assigned to each group A (jade litter) consisting of 6 animals or B (control) of 6 animals. Group A received jade litter products at the bottom of the cage, while group B, usually straw. The rats were fed a commercial feed formula (Samyang Oil & Fats Co.), and the general guidelines for sunlight and breeding control were followed. The experiment continued for 5 weeks, including the period of one week adaptation to the medium to measure blood pressure. Body weight and blood pressure were measured weekly. After placing the animal in the holder and stabilizing the animal in the incubator at a temperature of 29 # 1 C for approximately 10 minutes, blood pressure was indirectly measured by the tail pulse capture method using a non-invasive blood pressure analyzer (IITC Inc., Woodland Hills, CA). The general standard for assessing blood pressure in clinical tests was used.

The body weight of SHR rats increased during the experiment as can be seen from Figure 5A, but the difference was not statistically significant between the rats in group A (1.43 # 1.04 g) and B ( 1.50 # 0.27 g! In general, the growth rate of spontaneously hypertensive rats is known to be lower than that of normal rats.

The weekly change in systolic pressure (mmHg) of SHR treated with the jade product for 4 weeks is shown in Table 18 below.

The systolic arterial pressure of the rats treated with jade group A) tended to be lowered after one week of experience, by approximately 10 mmHg from 202.6 mmHg at the standard point as shown in Table 18 and Figure 5B. From the third week onwards, systolic blood pressure remained almost constant near 187 mmHg. Throughout the study, a total of approximately 16 mmHg (over 10 mmHg, the standard for evaluating blood pressure change in clinical testing) was reduced in Group A rats, so this change is considered significant. . On the other hand, group B rats showed systolic blood pressure increased up to 213 mmHg from 200 mmHg from the standard point during the first half of the study and then decreased slightly during the second half of the study. study and showed a somewhat stable trend around 209 mmHg at week 4.

As shown in Figure 5C, the rats in group A showed considerable reductions in systolic blood pressure (-10.5 mmHg) throughout the experiment and those in group B, a large increase (+13.4 mmHg) during the first half of the study period. In addition, the systolic blood pressure (-4.6, -4.5 mmHg) of the rats of both groups showed a decreasing trend during the second half of the period.

Among the 100 cases: 3 cases revealed a complete cure, 28 cases showed a strong effect, 37 cases showed a positive effect and 22 cases did not show an effect (total efficacy: 78%).
n with regard to the main symptoms, 62 cases out of 64 cases of insomnia showed some effect (total efficacy: 95.9%); 42 cases out of 46 cases of ringing in the ears showed some effect (total efficacy: 91.3%); 52 cases among the 56 cases of gene symptom showed some effect (total efficacy: 92.9%); 55 cases among the 63 cases of vertigo showed some effect (total efficacy: 87.3%); 41 of the 47 cases of oppressive symptoms showed some effect (total efficacy: 87.2%). In addition, a strong effect was shown on headaches, arthralgia and hypertension.

As described in the above Experimental Examples, the nephrite-type jade powder used in the synthetic resin according to the present invention showed the following effects.
1> In the pork freshness test, the drip loss was much lower in pork stored in a jade vat and tended to be significantly reduced over time regardless of the storage temperature. The value of VBN (protein denaturation) and TBA (which indicates the degree of lipid oxidation) was also lower in the pig stored in the jade tank;
2> In the sensory test concerning the taste, the jade mug appeared to make the coffee taste sweeter (which was proven to be statistically significant, p <0.05);
3> In the experiment to investigate the effect of jade products on the reproduction of rats (SD rat), the jade treated rats showed superior aptitude for parturition, reduced time from mating to at parturition and a higher sperm concentration as well as a higher motility compared to the control group.

4> In the experiment to find the jade relieving effect of symptoms of diabetes mellitus, when various jade products were applied to rats suffering from streptozoticin-induced diabetes mellitus, the rats given water jade showed a lower lipid concentration in the blood, so the jade product can be used to relieve hyperlipidemia, one of the symptoms of diabetes.

5> In the study to investigate the effects of nephritis-type jade on lowering the blood pressure of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) when jade litters were used, a strong hypotensive effect was shown in comparison with a group of witnesses. It was confirmed that systolic blood pressure was lowered by approximately 16 mmHg.

6> As shown in Table 6 of Example
Experimental 3, it could be confirmed that the interior finishing panel made of the synthetic resin according to the present invention imparted excellent energy saving effect.

7> As shown in Tables 20-1 to 20-4, products containing jade have shown prominent healing effects on insomnia, dizziness, arthralgia and hypertension.
