Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to an electronic treatment method and an apparatus for the same, and more specifically, the present invention relates to an electronic treatment method and an apparatus for the same, and more specifically, it uses ultrashort waves, whose wavelengths are shorter than the ultrashort waves of 6 to 15 m, which have been commonly used in the past, to treat living organisms. The purpose is to provide direct treatment to the affected area.

(Prior technology) Ultrahigh frequency waves (microwaves) have straight propagation properties and can be focused into a beam in one direction, and can impart a thermal effect deep into the skeletal tissue of a living body while wearing clothes. As a result, research into its application to living organisms has rapidly begun in recent years.

However, the application of microwaves to living organisms as described above is still at the research stage, and in reality, it is possible to use the heating effect to control weight, promote blood circulation, and improve metabolism to treat stiff shoulders and lower back pain. Since it is only applied, it has not seen widespread development.

Subsequent research on microwaves has shown that wavelength 1
The use of microwaves in biomedicine has been rapidly gaining momentum as a technology has been established that allows ultra-high frequency waves of 2.24 cm to reliably control local temperature increases by regulating the irradiation amount and direction to reach tissues deep within the body. As a result, a practical treatment device was developed by the present inventor, who is a pioneer of electronic treatment for living organisms, and has already been published in 1982-821.
The application has been filed as No. 03. This device consists of a bed and a protective frame with a concave cross section that is placed above the bed along the length of the bed, and the protective frame blocks radio waves at least on the left and right sides along the length of the bed. A microwave transmitting tube that emits light toward the top of the bed is built into the upper surface of the protective frame or the upper surface of the protective frame and the lower surface of the bed so as to be able to reciprocate in the length direction of the bed. It is characterized by

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) The above-mentioned treatment device of the prior application irradiates the affected area with microwaves while strictly controlling the irradiation direction and irradiation amount to the affected area, which is located deep inside the patient's body. It has now become possible to provide accurate treatment by heating the skin to a certain treatment temperature.

However, when treating the affected area, not only the temperature conditions are not uniformly effective for treatment depending on the type of malignant tumor or other disease, the size of the affected area, and the type of virus, but also the destruction of malignant cell tissue.

Another problem is that the set temperature that provides a suitable therapeutic effect in terms of the correlation between the death of various viruses and the damage to the living body has not yet been clarified, resulting in variations in the therapeutic effect.

The present inventor has summarized the research results theoretically and clinically regarding the destruction of diseases such as malignant tumors and various viruses and their effects on the living body, and has developed an electronic treatment method and device thereof that is suitable and has consistent therapeutic effects. is intended to provide.

(Means for solving the problem) In order to achieve the above object, in the present invention, when treating an affected area with a microwave transmitting means built in so as to be able to reciprocate in the length direction of the bed, microwave Treatment is performed by freely setting the heating temperature of the affected area by irradiation within the range of 37°C to 70°C.

Within the heating setting temperature range of 37°C to 70°C by microwave, it is possible to adjust in 1°C increments below 40°C in order to perform rapid treatment work, and to minimize tissue damage to the living body. In order to destroy malignant cell tissue 1 or destroy viruses, the temperature should be 0.5℃ above 40℃.
Provide means to enable adjustment for each case.

In addition, when adjusting the temperature within the above-mentioned temperature range, it is also useful to provide a means for finely adjusting the heating of the body surface temperature in a stepless manner to the extent that the patient himself feels hot.

Furthermore, in order to ensure the safety of microwave heating treatment and for the patient's own peace of mind, when performing irradiation treatment within the heating setting temperature range mentioned above, the temperature should be 40.5°C, 5°C.
An alarm means is provided to issue an alarm when each set temperature of 5.5℃, 60℃, and 5℃ is reached, or a means to automatically stop the temperature rising above the set temperature, and the microwave irradiation time can be set arbitrarily. It is also effective to add a settable time mechanism.

(Function) In the electronic treatment means configured as described above, the affected part of the living body on the bed is confirmed in advance by X-ray or other method, and the microwave transmitting means is reciprocated at a constant speed in accordance with the positioned part. The treatment is started based on a preset curriculum such as microwave irradiation amount and irradiation time while moving the device.

Microwaves gradually heat the affected area within a living body to a preset temperature within the range of 37°C to 70°C, and when the set temperature is reached, malignant tissue or viruses are gradually destroyed and disappear, returning to the living body. Heal without causing major damage.

In addition, during the treatment process, 40.5℃, 55.5℃, 60℃
．． When each set temperature of 5℃ is reached, an audio or optical alarm is issued, and further temperature increases are automatically stopped when the set temperature is reached, ensuring constant safety. Guaranteed.

(Example) A specific example of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.
The explanation will be given with reference to the treatment apparatus shown in the figure. Reference numeral 2 denotes a bed, and 7 denotes a protection frame having a concave cross section and placed above the bed 2 along its length.

The bed 2 is made of a sheet and structure made of a material that does not impede the passage of microwaves, and is placed on a box-shaped base 1 at an appropriate height above the floor, and the above-mentioned base is located on the underside of the base 1. A microwave transmitting device 3 is built into the inside of the bed 1 and is capable of irradiating microwaves toward the top of the bed, which is configured to freely reciprocate along the length of the bed 2. Moreover, a microwave transmitting tube capable of irradiating microwaves toward the upper surface of the bed 2 is inserted into the microwave transmitting device 3.

The amount of microwave irradiated by the microwave transmitters 3 and 9 is related to the reciprocating speed, but it must be set within a range that does not cause burns inside the living body. Built-in sensor that automatically shuts off the power when the relationship between the amount of microwave irradiation to the top surface and the traveling speed of the microwave transmitter 3.9 reaches a preset value that poses a danger to living organisms. Then it is even more preferable.

The appropriate temperature for heating the affected area with microwave irradiation depends on the size of the affected area, the type of malignant tumor or other disease,
Alternatively, depending on various conditions such as the type and nature of the virus, the physical strength of the patient, etc., it may not necessarily be the case that the body's natural body temperature (
There is no effect below 36.5°C, and at least 37°C.
It is necessary to keep the temperature above ℃. However, if the temperature exceeds 70°C, there is a risk of destroying living tissue, so the upper limit must be set at 70°C.

Therefore destruction of malignant tumors and other malignant cells.

Also, 37 degrees Celsius is effective in treating viral diseases.
Experience has shown that a temperature range of ~70°C is best.
This was also clarified by various experimental results.

Further, the microwave transmitting device 3 described above uses a known drive mechanism, for example, an endless chain that runs on two rails installed in parallel along the length of the bed 2 and a speed reducer that drives the chain. The bed 2 can be freely reciprocated in the longitudinal direction by a motor drive means, etc., and the range and speed of the reciprocating movement can be freely set locally by incorporating, for example, a known microcomputer device. and by incorporating a timesinch, for example 1 minute.

10 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 12 hours, 24 hours.

Alternatively, continuous irradiation is performed within a certain unit time longer than that, and the irradiation is stopped at the same time as the set time elapses.

In addition, by combining a temperature sensor that detects the temperature of the surface of the living body or the affected area, and further providing an alarm means and a means for automatically stopping the temperature from rising above the set temperature, it is possible to
Within the heating setting temperature range of ℃ to 70℃, for example 4
It is also possible to store each set temperature of 0.5°C, 55.5°C, and 60.5°C in the microcomputer device, and issue an alarm when each of the set temperatures is reached.

The above-mentioned warning means may be a well-known buzzer or other audio warning means (or may be an optical warning means such as lighting of a pilot lamp by color coding such as red or yellow).

Further, as a means for automatically stopping the temperature from rising above a set temperature, a temperature switch coupled to the above-mentioned temperature sensor may be installed.

Additionally, there is a treatment interruption switch that the patient can operate themselves if they feel unwell or experience other abnormalities, such as being too hot, during treatment.

Alternatively, it is more effective to attach an alarm generating means.

The protective frame 7 has an opening window 8 with a large opening on the top surface, and the microwave transmitting device 9 is placed between the right and left edges of the opening window 8 so that it can freely reciprocate in the length direction of the protective frame 7. It is attached.

This microwave transmitting device 9 is mechanically the same as the microwave transmitting device 3 that runs along the lower surface of the bed 2 described above, and also has the same traveling (driving) mechanism. It is equipped with a microwave transmitting tube that can irradiate microwaves toward the top surface of the bed 2 while traveling back and forth along the bed.

Furthermore, at least the left and right side plates 5 and 6 of the protective frame 7, which has a concave cross section, are made of a radio wave blocking material that reflects microwaves and prevents them from passing through. A flexible screen 10 made of a radio wave blocking material and having longitudinal strip-shaped cuts is attached to the end face near the head.

Furthermore, the protection frame 7 is rotatably attached to one side end of the bed 2 via a hinge mechanism 4 at the base end of the side plate 5 on the minus side, and the base end of the side plate 6 on the other side. Although not particularly shown in the drawings, a limit switch is installed at an appropriate location at the end, and when the protective frame 7 is lowered onto the bed 2 and closed, the base end of the side plate 6 is placed on the top or side surface of the bed 2. The limit switch is actuated when the microwave emitting devices 3 and 9 come in contact with each other, and the power source for running the microwave transmitting devices 3 and 9 or for irradiating microwaves is set to the closed path (input state) for the first time.

It should be noted that the microwave transmitters 3 and 9 can be run synchronously or asynchronously. Alternatively, it is possible to reciprocate over the entire length of the protective frame 7, or to reciprocate only in a specific section to concentrate irradiation near the affected area of the living body, as described above, by using a known microcomputer control means. Can be configured.

In this case, the microwave transmitter 9.3 or the side surface of the protective frame 7 or the base 1 is equipped with the microwave transmitter 9.3.
, 3, it is possible to improve the accuracy and workability of treatment by providing a visible light display means that displays a direction that corresponds to the direction of microwave irradiation.

In the embodiment described above, the case where the microwave transmitting devices 9 and 3 are run with respect to the bed 2 fixed on the base 1 has been explained, but if it is allowed due to the installation space, it may be possible to The wave transmitting devices 9 and 3 may be fixed, and only the bed 2 provided with the protective frame 7 may be reciprocated in the longitudinal and horizontal directions.

However, in the above-mentioned configuration, the protective frame 7 is manually or mechanically moved from the top surface of the bed 2 via the hinge mechanism 4, as shown in FIG. After having the patient lie down on bed 2,
The protective frame 7 is lowered onto the bed 2 again. As a result, the part of the patient's head that is visible is completely surrounded by the protective frame 7, and is separated from the patient's head by the screen 10.

In such a state, the reciprocating range and speed of the microwave transmitter should be determined according to the part of the living body that requires treatment.

Microwave transmitter 9. Microwave transmitter 9. Microwave transmitter 9. Microwave transmitter 9. Microwave transmitter 9. Microwave transmitter 9. Microwave transmitter 9. Microwave transmitter 9. Alternatively, the microwave transmitting devices 9 and 3 are energized to start irradiating microwaves into the living body of a patient lying on the bed 2, and at the same time, the microwave transmitting device 9 or the microwave transmitting devices 9 and 3 are connected to the bed. Treatment is initiated by repeated reciprocating motions at a constant speed over the entire length of the tube or in localized areas.

When the treatment is finished, the protective frame 7 is opened upward again and the patient is lowered from the bed 2 to complete the treatment.

(Effects of the Invention) The present invention achieves the following effects with the configuration described above.

In other words, the heating temperature of the affected area by microwave irradiation is 37
Since the temperature can be set freely within the range of 70°C for treatment, it is highly effective in treating various cellular diseases including various malignant tumors or viral diseases.

In particular, during treatment, uniform thermal treatment can be applied to deep parts of the body, including the skeletal tissue, while wearing clothes.

In addition, within the heating setting temperature range of 37℃ to 70℃ using microwave, fine adjustment of temperature rise and fall, including adjustment in 1℃ increments below 40℃ and in 0.5℃ increments above 40℃. This makes it possible to speed up treatment and make fine adjustments to destroy eligible malignant tissues or viruses.

The heating means for the body surface temperature can be set arbitrarily to the extent that the patient himself feels hot, and the set temperature is 37℃~
Within the range of 70'c, the temperature of the affected area is 40.5°C,
A means to issue an alarm when each set temperature of 55.5°C and 60.5°C is reached, or a means to automatically stop the temperature rising above the set temperature, or to set the microwave irradiation time and speed arbitrarily. The system is equipped with a time mechanism that can be set in advance, as well as a passive/passive treatment interrupt switch as an emergency measure in the event of an abnormality, making microwave heating treatment safer and more efficient, while also providing peace of mind for the patient. can also be achieved.

In addition, at least the left and right sides of the protective frame are made of radio wave blocking material, and if necessary, a flexible screen made of radio wave blocking material with longitudinal strips cut in the front of the protective frame. Since the microwaves are provided, the microwaves do not leak into the surrounding area during treatment, so there is no adverse effect on the nurses.

Furthermore, a microwave transmitting tube that irradiates toward the top of the bed is installed on the top surface of the protection frame or on the top surface of the protection frame and the bottom surface of the bed, so that it can freely move back and forth in the length direction of the bed. Efficient treatment can be carried out using microwave irradiation at an optimal temperature at all times within a range that does not cause local burns within the patient's body, and tissue cells such as those of malignant tumors in the body are destroyed and destroyed by heating. It can be applied to a wide range of electronic medical care in general.

In addition, the protective frame equipped with the microwave transmitter can be opened upward from above the bed using a hinge mechanism interposed between the lower end of one side plate and the bed, so that This provides various beneficial effects such as easy and safe getting on and off the bed.
