Description
（２）本発明の角質細胞の鑑別法、皮膚特性の鑑別法
本発明の角質細胞の鑑別法は、前記本発明の角質細胞の形状の鑑別の為の映像を用いることを特徴とする。角質細胞の形状により、皮膚特性、例えば、肌の刺激に対する感受性、バリア機能を含む肌の状態、肌の老化の程度を表す肌年齢などを知ることができる。この様な情報を得るための角質細胞の形状としては、角質細胞の配列の規則性、大きさ（体積或いはその便宜的代替値としての面積）、一層で剥離してくるか、数層が重なったまま剥離してくるかという、角質細胞の剥離のパターン等が例示できる。本発明の映像を用いることにより、これらの何れもが、角質細胞標本を染色して得た画像と同程度の精度で鑑別、測定することができる。配列規則性であれば、個々の細胞の形がどの程度六角形になっているかを肉眼で判定したりすることにより鑑別できるし、大きさであれば、二値化などの処理を施した後に、画像処理ソフトを使用することにより自動計測することができる。剥離パターンは、配列規則性同様に、肉眼判定できるし、或いは、画像の濃さ（或いは明るさ）などを、輝度から算出し、推定することもできる。この様な方法については、染色標本において使用されている技術をそのまま応用することができる。又、この様に鑑別された角質細胞の形状をもとに、従来知られている角質細胞と皮膚特性の関係を利用して皮膚特性を鑑別することもできる。かかる皮膚特性の鑑別が、本発明の皮膚特性の鑑別法である。この様な技術で、既に知られているものとしては、特開２００２−１７６８８号、特開２００１−１０８６７４号、特開２００１−１３１３８号、特開２０００−１１６６２３号、特開平１１−３０４７９８号、特開平１１−２９９７９２号、特開平７−２０９２９２号等が例示でき、これらの何れもが使用することができる。従来の染色標本法が標本調整に、染色剤などを用いることができる環境において数時間要していたのに比べ、本発明の鑑別法は、通常の環境で、ほぼリアルタイムに鑑別を行うことができる。即ち、染色剤などを用いることができる環境への角質細胞の移送時間を加味すれば、従来法に比して、本発明の鑑別法では、数日間の時間短縮が行える。加えて、染色剤を必要としないことから廃水処理の必要性もなく、環境保全の観点からも本発明の鑑別法は好ましい。この様に、皮膚特性を鑑別することにより、適切な化粧料の選択が可能となり、誤った化粧料の選択による、トラブルの発生や無駄な投資を避けることも可能である。又、本発明の鑑別法は、採取した角質細胞には非侵襲的であるので、角質細胞の形状の鑑別を行った後に、種々の染色標本に供することも可能であり、従来の方法に比して、更に多面的な情報の入手も可能となる。
(2) Method of Differentiating Keratinocytes of the Present Invention, Method of Differentiating Skin Properties The method of differentiation of keratinocytes of the present invention is characterized by using an image for discrimination of the shape of the keratinocytes of the present invention. Depending on the shape of keratinocytes, it is possible to know skin characteristics such as sensitivity to skin irritation, skin conditions including barrier function, skin age indicating the degree of skin aging and the like. As the shape of keratinocytes for obtaining such information, regularity of the arrangement of keratinocytes, size (volume or area as its convenient alternative value), exfoliation in one layer or several layers overlap A pattern of exfoliation of keratinocytes can be exemplified as to whether exfoliation occurs while staying flat. By using the image of the present invention, any of these can be identified and measured with the same degree of accuracy as an image obtained by staining a keratinocyte sample. In the case of sequence regularity, discrimination can be made by visually determining how the shape of each cell is hexagonal, or if it is a size, after processing such as binarization, etc. Automatic measurement can be performed by using image processing software. The peeling pattern can be determined with the naked eye similarly to the arrangement regularity, or the density (or brightness) of the image can be calculated from the luminance and estimated. For such a method, the technique used in the stained sample can be applied as it is. In addition, based on the shape of the keratinocytes thus differentiated, it is also possible to distinguish skin characteristics by using the conventionally known relationship between keratinocytes and skin characteristics. Such differentiation of skin characteristics is the method of differentiation of skin characteristics of the present invention. Among such techniques, as already known, JP-A-2002-17688, JP-A-2001-108674, JP-A-2001-13138, JP-A-2000-116623, JP-A-11-304798, JP-A-11-299972, JP-A-7-209292 and the like can be exemplified, and any of these can be used. The conventional stained specimen methods specimen adjustment, compared to it takes several hours in an environment which can be used as the staining agent, differentiation method of the present invention, under normal circumstances, it is carried out differential in near real time it can. That is, if the transport time of keratinocytes to an environment where a staining agent etc. can be used is taken into consideration, the differentiation method of the present invention can shorten the time by several days as compared with the conventional method. In addition, the identification method of the present invention is preferable also from the viewpoint of environmental protection because there is no need for waste water treatment because it does not require a staining agent. In this way, by discriminating the skin characteristics, it is possible to select an appropriate cosmetic, and it is also possible to avoid the occurrence of troubles and unnecessary investment due to the incorrect cosmetic selection. In addition, since the discrimination method of the present invention is non-invasive for the collected keratinocytes, it is possible to differentiate the shape of the keratinocytes and then to use for various staining specimens, and it is possible to compare with conventional methods. Thus, it is possible to obtain more versatile information.
