Description

  The present invention is applied to living items such as bandages, adhesive tapes, masks, headbands, breast pads, stomach wraps, diapers, hats, hair nets, shoes, socks, pillows, pillow covers, bedding, supporters, bangles, clothes, etc. In the composite structure (AB) of the sheet-like conductor (A) used in proximity to or in contact with the sheet-like substance (B) that can be conductive by ions, (AB) alone does not generate a potential, When it comes close to or touches, it becomes a battery with the living body as one electrode, creating an electrical circuit, sending negatively charged electrons into the living body, and at the same time rising due to the heat of the living body and the heat generated with the formation of the battery (AB) is a composite structure capable of self-cooling the temperature, and its technical field relates to half-cells and batteries. Its fields of application relate to electrotherapy and health maintenance.

It is known that the cell membrane has a negative potential. In the vicinity of this electric field, proteins undergo complex redox reactions, and are places of life activity where metal ions such as potassium, sodium or calcium enter and exit. When changes occur in the living body, the membrane potential decreases and the electric field environment changes, and many lifestyle-related diseases are said to be accompanied by changes in the electrical environment. This change is known to be caused by active oxygen.
Recently, it has been reported that when a platinum needle electrode is inserted into a cancer cell membrane and weak electricity of 2 to 10 volts is taken into the cell, the cancer cell disappears or shrinks. There have been reports of cases in which the membrane potential recovers when symptoms improve due to drugs, etc., and it has been suggested that there are many relationships between lifestyle-related diseases and membrane potential. Many antioxidants effective for eliminating active oxygen, which is the main cause of lifestyle-related diseases, have been proposed and widely used as supplements, and are considered to contribute to the optimization of membrane potential. However, the way to treat lifestyle-related diseases is to improve lifestyle habits such as eating, smoking, drinking, and exercising and taking drugs for symptomatic treatment. The ultimate future treatment is to increase immunity and genes. There is a great deal of research, and no comprehensive effective countermeasures have been found for this lifestyle-related disease. In addition to these lifestyle-related diseases, changes in the electrical environment in the body can cause pain and trembling of the limbs by reducing the normal functioning of muscles and nerves. It is also a cause of spots, blood vessel stenosis, and stones due to deposition. The present condition is that these abnormalities in living bodies can only be treated by medication or surgery for individual symptoms. With respect to diseases such as pain, there are treatments in which electricity is applied by applying commercial frequency or high-frequency electricity to the affected area from an external power source or applying a galvanic cell using a dissimilar metal to the affected area. On the other hand, in the United States, electrical therapy has recently been widely performed by applying a low DC voltage to the living body, but this also uses an external power source, which is inconvenient for the patient's life. Yes.
In addition, the body temperature is currently cooled by directly or indirectly contacting a living body with a refrigerant cooled by a cooling machine and having a temperature lower than the body temperature. Those using the Peltier effect are also known.

  The present invention develops a power source that can be directly or indirectly attached to a living body to change the electric field environment of the living body, and at this time the temperature rises due to heat storage near the power source, causing discomfort. The countermeasure was to develop a self-cooling power supply instead of evaporating external energy such as a cooling machine or a specially prepared refrigerant to cool the living body with the heat of vaporization.

  The present invention includes a sheet-like material (A) selected from magnesium, aluminum, zinc, iron, titanium, tin and carbon materials, and paper, cotton, woven fabrics mainly composed of natural products or synthetic polymers, One of a nonwoven fabric, a net, a pore body, and an ion permeable membrane is used as a base material. The composite structure (AB) combining (B) carrying the selected ionizable substance forms an electrical circuit with the living body when the (A) surface is brought close to or in contact with the living body, and the vicinity of (A) The negatively charged electrons generated in the body are sent to the living body to change the electrical environment of the living body. Carbon material is a sheet-like pore obtained by applying a conductive paint made of graphite or carbon black to paper, cotton, woven fabric, non-woven fabric, mesh, and pores, as well as supporting graphite or carbon black alone. Body, or carbon fiber woven fabric or carbon fiber non-woven fabric. Metals use a sheet-like material compounded by a method such as a simple substance, an alloy and a coating. As long as the sheet is a thin plate, it may be planar, curved, perforated, or net-like. By this means, the potential change generated in the living body can be recovered, and the function reduced by aging and fatigue can be improved. In terms of the potential difference in the living body, for example, between the left and right hands, there are many youths of 20 mmV or less, but it is not uncommon to show 100 mmV or more after the 50s. According to the method of the present invention, it has been found that this value can be reduced to about 40 mmV or less, and at the same time, various biological functions can be improved. At this time, the composite structure (AB) was found to have a fever phenomenon due to body heat and the formation of an electric circuit, and had the disadvantage of causing discomfort. As a means for solving this, the composite structure (AB) was supported by (B). Water for promoting the contained ion conductivity was evaporated, and the temperature of (AB) was lowered by the heat of vaporization so that a comfortable use environment could be maintained. At this time, (B) desirably has a larger area than (A). In addition to the addition of water, it is also possible to use a latent heat storage material or a Peltier element having a melting point of 10 to 30 ° C. such as paraffin or coconut oil. The temperature of (AB) rises to around 36 ° C. due to body heat and electric circuit formation, and the water in (B) gradually vaporizes due to the temperature difference with the outside air temperature of 20-30 ° C. in the vicinity thereof. Thereby, there is no noise of the cooling machine, and self-cooling that does not need to be cooled using a special refrigerant can be realized. The temperature of (AB) was kept at about 25-30 ° C., and a low temperature of about 20 ° C. was obtained as the minimum temperature.

(A) is a sheet-like object whose main component is a material selected from magnesium, aluminum, zinc, iron, titanium, tin and carbon materials. The sheet-like shape includes a flat plate, a perforated plate, and a net, and among these, a single material, an alloy, and a coated composite can be used as the metal material. As the carbon material, a sheet-like material made of graphite and carbon black is used. Graphite and carbon fiber can be processed into a sheet by itself, and the effects of the present invention can be obtained. However, a powdery carbon material is mixed with a natural resin or a synthetic polymer to form a conductive paint, excluding the ion permeable membrane. (B) It is preferable to apply by applying to any of the substrates described in the items because the cost is reduced. In addition, a powdery carbon material may be blended in advance in a porous body such as urethane home before foaming, and the carbon powder may be dispersed and supported inside the base material after foaming and used as (A). When the carbon material is applied to the base material, an inclination of the carbon coating amount is observed between the front surface and the inside or the back surface of the base material, and the ion conductive water of (B) is formed on the base material surface having the smaller carbon coating amount. The electrolyte layer is formed by applying a water absorbent gel, an ionic liquid, and a water-retaining and moisturizing substance alone, a composite or a compound. Moreover, you may use the base material designated by (B) by superposing | stacking two or more layers.
The object (A) is made of a conductive material having excellent conductivity, and is a material that can form a chemical battery when two different types (A) face each other through an electrolyte. However, (AB) of the present invention does not generate electricity even in a state accompanied by an electrolyte because there is only one kind of conductor. Only when it is close to or in contact with a living body, an electric potential is generated, an electric circuit is formed with the living body as one electrode, and negatively charged electrons are taken into the living body. Among the conductors, brass and carbon materials, which are alloys of aluminum and zinc, are preferable as (A), and aluminum and carbon materials are particularly suitable. Magnesium is effective when a high potential of about 1500 mmV is required. In this power generation, the maximum current flowing in the living body was 2 mmA.
The size and shape of (A) are designed according to the mounted body, but the thickness is preferably 0.005 to 5 mm, preferably 0.02 to 2 mm, and more preferably 0.03 to 1 mm.

(B) uses any of paper, cotton, woven fabric, non-woven fabric, mesh, pores, and solid ion-permeable membrane as a main component, the main component of which is a natural or synthetic polymer, and this substrate has ion conductivity. Water, water-absorbing gel, ionic liquid and water-retaining and moisturizing substance alone or in combination with a compound or compound. AB). Paper, cotton, woven fabric, non-woven fabric, mesh, and pores are made of plant fibers, inorganic fibers, synthetic fibers, and synthetic polymers. Particularly preferred is a woven fabric made of vegetable fiber. These base materials are loaded with ion conductive water, water-absorbing gel, ionic liquid or water-retaining moisture-retaining substance, and this base material layer allows the electrolyte to permeate. The tap water containing electrolyte is simple and easy to use. In order to increase the affinity for the skin and enhance its effectiveness, water added with inorganic salts, organic acids, etc., and hot spring water also fall within the category of water of the present invention. In particular, water in which salicylic acid or fruit acid is dissolved promotes peeling effects such as spots and aza and lightening. The isoelectric point of living bodies such as skin and hair is set to pH 5.0 to 5.5, and the electrolyte is preferably as close to this as possible. The amount of water used is at least 2% by weight with respect to the substrate. However, water is vaporized, evaporated and consumed together with the power generation (AB), so it is appropriately replenished. The supply is also supplemented from the secretions of the living body. The thickness of (B) is 0.1 to 10 mm, preferably 0.3 to 5 mm, more preferably 0.5 to 2 mm. This thickness is related to the amount of water contained. If it is thick, the amount of water will increase and you will not have to replenish water for a long time. In the case of overnight wear, about 10 cc of water evaporates per 100 square centimeters in the case of the head, and the water retention amount is designed accordingly. The water-absorbing gel includes synthetic polymer water-absorbing gels and natural polymer gels such as agar and konjac. Water-retaining and moisturizing substances include cosmetic creams, surfactants such as soap, water-retaining and moisturizing liquids such as hyaluronic acid and collagen, and water additives such as starch paste and clay. As for the adhesive used for combining (A) and (B), a thin adhesive having a thickness of 0.05 mm or less can permeate water and retain moisture.

(A) and (B) are combined into each other by bringing their surfaces close to or in contact with each other and used as an integral sheet-like product. Even in the vicinity, it is necessary to be partially in contact. Since the ion conductive water, the water-absorbing gel, the ionic liquid and the water-retaining and moisturizing mixture are liquid, it is not necessary to use an adhesive, and it may be simply applied. Since the (AB) composite structure to be mounted on the sole or the like receives a large force from the outside due to intense movement of the living body, an adhesive is used so that (A) and (B) are firmly attached. The thickness of the adhesive is required to be 0.05 mm or less as described above. The compounding method of (A) and (B) is performed by a conventionally used apparatus or method for bonding such as a roll laminator. Further, since the surface (B) has adhesiveness, a release paper, plastic film, net, cloth or the like is pasted on the surface to form a protective film for preventing contamination or adhesion when worn on a living body or clothes. When (AB) creates an electrical circuit with the living body and feeds negatively charged electrons into the living body, there is no formation of an electrical circuit between (A) and the protective film, or the protective film is used when it is extremely small. It is also possible to use a conductor. In the experiment of the present inventor, it was found that the brass foil has a negative potential when it is in contact with the living body using brass foil as the protective film and aluminum foil as the protective film, and has a positive potential when it is away from the living body. When it comes in contact with the living body, it is close to the same potential as the brass foil, and no battery is formed between the two foils, but when it is away from the living body, it becomes a negative potential and a battery is formed between the two foils. It was. Similar results were obtained even when 13Cr stainless steel foil was used for (A) and copper foil was used for the protective film. As can be seen from these two examples, (AB) the composite structure is close to or in contact with the living body, and when a potential is generated between the living body and the living body, even if a metal foil is used as the protective film, The battery does not form an electric circuit. Also, ion-conductive water, gel, ionic liquid, and water-retaining and moisturizing liquid are applied on the (A) side, the base is on the outer side, and is combined with (A) so that the (B) surface does not stick to the living body. However, the wearability can be improved. The surface of (A) is used in an exposed state or in a state protected with a cloth, net, nonwoven fabric or the like. In the latter case, (A) and the living body are in a close positional relationship, but there is no problem in forming an electric circuit with the living body. For example, even when the composite structure (AB) is worn on the soles via the feet and the socks, an electric potential is formed between the soles and functions effectively.

(AB) The method of mounting the composite structure on a living body is preferably worn in the state of being inserted into the inside of a hat or hair net at the head. Pillows and pillow covers are used by fixing them to existing pillows and pillow covers with strings and tapes. These wearing methods are not particularly limited, and any method may be used as long as the living body and the surface (A) are close to or in contact with each other. For muscle pain, joint pain, neuralgia, etc., the (AB) composite structure is pasted with a medical tape or the like near the affected area. For long-distance running, it is better to put it on your abdomen or thigh to prevent pain. In this way, when the (AB) composite structure is attached to a living body, a potential difference of 10 to 1500 mmV and a body temperature of 1 to 15 ° C. are obtained from the living body, and pain and other abnormalities are alleviated or eliminated at the same time. Is done.

The potential difference was measured as follows. Place the (AB) composite structure on the instep and touch it lightly. In this state, the potential displayed on the potentiometer is measured by placing one terminal of the potentiometer between the skin and the (AB) composite structure, and the other terminal against the outer surface of the (AB) composite structure. read. The outer surface is (A) or (B). As the measurement terminal, a graphite electrode having a diameter of 1.5 mm was used. At this time, the value of the potential difference has a large fluctuation, so that the maximum value for each measurement is taken.
In addition, the potential of individual cell membranes was not measured, and the potential difference between the left and right palms was adopted as the index. The correlation between this value and the membrane potential is not clear, but healthy adolescents in their twenties and below show values of around 10 mmV in a resting state except after exercise. For those over 50 years of age, a large difference appears between 50 and 500 mmV. People with large values are often used as an indicator of membrane potential because there are many people with some serious lifestyle-related diseases and inflammatory diseases. Regarding this, we plan to elucidate the relationship between them as a future research topic.

  (A) has a positive potential when it is basically a carbon material and a negative potential when it is a metal. By utilizing this fact, the carbon electrode and the metal electrode can be separately attached to the living body, and electrons can be sent from the metal electrode to the carbon electrode via the living body. Even if only one of the electrodes is used, electrons can be taken into the body. In addition, the potential of the living body may be positive and the carbon electrode may be negative. This phenomenon is frequently observed especially in places close to inflammation. Furthermore, in the situation where the carbon material (A) is indirectly close to the living body and (B) is closer to the living body, it is also observed that the vicinity of (B) shows a negative potential.

  (AB) When the composite structure was brought close to or in contact with the living body, the following improvement in physical condition could be seen. Relieve pain such as muscle pain and joint pain, disappearance of swelling of legs, elimination of gout pain, regular defecation, diarrhea, deep sleep, improvement of vision, especially presbyopia and cataract, elimination of inflammation such as ear swelling Prevention of hair, hair loss, reduction of reflux esophagitis, reduction or elimination of stone pain, skin spots, lightening and prevention of aza, improvement of coldness, normalization of hypotension, normalization of low white blood cell count, etc. In addition, when worn on the pillow, the temperature around the head during sleep is maintained at a low temperature, so that the head can feel the cold. For other diseases, when there is a large difference in membrane potential or biological potential, negatively charged electrons are sent into the body by the electrode of the present invention, and this potential difference is reduced to restore health and prevent or treat disease. It is expected to exert an effect on the surface.

Hereinafter, an embodiment in which the (AB) composite structure is mounted on the head, sole, and thigh will be described in detail.

An example of the (AB) composite structure for head mounting is shown in FIG. Applying polymer gel 2 with 150% water content (cool time made of pearl metal) on the underside of No. 4 canvas 1 made of cotton 5cm in length and 5cm in width and 12cm in thickness to about 0.1mm in thickness (about 100g / m ² ) The aluminum foil (PACAL21 made from Japan foil) 4 with a thickness of 0.025 mm to be the (A) layer is bonded to one side of the (B) layer 3 to form the (AB) composite structure 5. On the side opposite to the aluminum foil, a polypropylene film 6 having a thickness of 25 microns was provided to protect the polymer gel layer. The overall size of the electrode part was 5 × 10 cm and the thickness was about 0.5 mm. In this (AB) composite structure, the aluminum foil side was placed at the center of the head, and a net-like night cap was covered from above to be fixed so that (AB) did not move. At this time, a potential difference of 600 to 900 mmV was observed between the head skin and (B). After spending daily sleep in this state, heartburn caused by reflux esophagitis almost disappeared, stool excretion became regular every day, and no diarrhea occurred. After about 2 months, hair growth like hair was observed in the hairless buttocks of the scalp. After 6 months, the hairless parts disappeared, and although the hair growth density was thin, the growth of hair was observed on the whole surface. The pain in the arms and lower back also disappeared. The potential difference between the left and right hands was reduced from 130 to 150 mmV to 25 to 30 mmV. When the outside air temperature was 28-30 ° C, the temperature of the aluminum surface was maintained at 23-25 ° C. When the water content was about 2% or less, the temperature of the head skin was about 33 ° C.

An example of the (AB) composite structure 5 attached to the pillow 7 is shown in FIG. A mesh 8 made of 50-mesh polyester fiber was placed on the aluminum foil side of the (AB) composite structure 5 of Example 1 and fixed to a pillow 7 made of urethane foam with a string 9. The size was substantially the same as the upper surface of the pillow. When this pillow was used during sleep, the same effect as in Example 1 was obtained. Furthermore, an effect of eliminating stiff shoulders and an effect of reducing hair loss were obtained.

An example of the (AB) composite structure 10 mounted on the sole is shown in FIG. (A) is No. 4 canvas 12 coated with graphite conductive paint (N-13 made by Nippon Graphite), and the coating amount of the paint was 30 g / m ² . The graphite coated surface was protected with a mesh 8 made of 50 mesh polyester fiber in the same manner as in Example 2. On the opposite side, 10 g / m ² of ionic liquid 13 (1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate reagent manufactured by Kanto Chemical Co., Inc.) was applied, and a 25 micron polypropylene film 14 was pasted on both sides with a double-sided adhesive film. Combined. This (AB) composite structure 10 had a total thickness of 0.5 mm. This is cut into a foot shape, and 14 is bonded to the sole with an adhesive film and fixed. When this shoe was worn, a potential difference of 600 to 1000 mmV occurred between the sole and the graphite coating. Also, after wearing in this state, athlete's foot, gout pain, cracks, scratches, etc. were not seen from the soles within about one month. The smell of shoes disappeared immediately after wearing. It was also found that when worn with the (AB) composite component of Example 1, lower back pain and abdominal pain due to extreme exercise were alleviated. It was estimated that the potential at this time was negative for the composite structure of Example 1 and positive for the composite structure of Example 3, and there was electrical communication between them. In addition, the potential difference between the left and right thumbs decreased from 50 mmV to 25 mmV.

An example of the (AB) composite structure 5 attached to the thigh 18 is shown in FIG. Reference numeral 15 denotes a stretchable supporter. By this supporter, the (AB) composite structure 5 described in Example 1 is supported, and the aluminum foil 4 of (A) is in contact with the skin of the thigh. (AB) A potential difference of 300 to 600 mmV was generated between the composite structure and the living body. (AB) When the composite structure was worn, muscle pain in the thigh was not felt in about 30 minutes. At the same time, the potential difference between the left and right thighs decreased from 60 mmV to 30 mmV.

Kneaded porcelain with a water content of 100% was applied to the entire waist to a thickness of about 0.3 mm to form a layer (B). On top of that, the aluminum foil (A) used in Example 1 was covered, and pressure was applied so as to extend the entire surface with a palm, and the mixture was allowed to stand at about 40 ° C. for 30 minutes. A potential difference of 300 to 600 mmV was generated between the aluminum foil and the lumbar skin. The pain in the lower back disappeared after about 1 hour. At the same time, the potential difference between the left and right hands decreased from 95 mmV to 25 mmV.

The aluminum foil (A) used in Example 1 and a water-containing sheet-like solid ion-permeable gel (Sekisui Chemical SCB4BZVA-05) (B) were bonded together to prepare (AB) a composite structure. This was used in place of (AB) composite structure 5 of Example 1. In this case, the same result as in Example 1 was obtained. (B) A potential difference of 300 to 600 mmV was observed between the surface and the skin.
