Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a method for treating locomotor diseases of racehorses, for example.

[Conventional technology and its problems]

Racehorses are subjected to excessive exercise on a daily basis for the purpose of racing, and for this reason, most of the diseases in racehorses are related to the movement system, and among these, diseases of the muscular system, extension, and joint system account for the majority. ing.

Rest is said to be the best treatment for these conditions, but in reality this is often difficult, and the reality is that the animals are given drugs while running. However, when these diseases become chronic, drug treatment alone is often ineffective, and acupuncture and moxibustion therapy are often used together.

Furthermore, daily health management is important for racehorses, and from a preventive veterinary standpoint, it is necessary to eliminate fatigue in the horse's body, muscles, and muscles as soon as possible to prevent the above-mentioned diseases. No suitable preventive method has been found to date.

In view of the above-mentioned circumstances, the present invention proposes, for example, racehorses and a preventive method thereof.

[Summary of the invention]

The gist of this invention is to treat a horse by adhering a patch containing germanium semiconductor as its main component to a diseased area or acupuncture point.

That is, it is known that germanium semiconductors have unique semiconductor properties different from those of other metals, and according to the present invention, by using a contact piece whose main component is germanium semiconductors, racehorses, etc. It has been discovered that this drug has a therapeutic or preventive effect on diseases of the muscular system, keys, and joint system.

Here, the contact piece whose main component is germanium semiconductor may be (a) one using germanium metal of high purity, for example, 99.99% purity, or (b) one using germanium semiconductor and other semiconductors such as silicon or selenium. (c) pure germanium with or without impurities with a valence of +5 or +3 added to make it an N-type or P-type semiconductor; (d) germanium powder (g) germanium powder and metal powder that has good thermal conductivity and is difficult to ionize, such as silver, gold,
Examples include those obtained by heat-forming a mixture of tin, aluminum, and copper by sintering or the like, and those obtained by applying a thin film of silver or gold on the above (α) to (6).

In the case of (6), the germanium semiconductor has a weight of at least 60%, and the heat-formed product of (d) also provides a physical stimulation motive force in addition to the effect due to the semiconductor properties of the germanium semiconductor. In this case, the mixing ratio of germanium powder and activated carbon powder is 40 to 70% by volume of the former.
, the latter is preferably 60 to 30%.

In addition, the mixing ratio of germanium powder particles of ta> and metal powder particles that have good thermal conductivity and are difficult to ionize is not particularly limited, but germanium powder particles are preferably 20-weight JIX
More preferably, it is 50% by weight or more. If the content is 20% by weight or more, the contact piece's nokermanium semiconductor properties will not be lost. Further, below 20% by weight, the desired effect of the germanium semiconductor decreases.

Furthermore, the germanium semiconductor used in this invention may be single crystal or polycrystalline.

On the other hand, the shape of the abutting piece used in this invention is not limited as long as it can easily adhere to areas such as diseases or acupuncture points, but as shown in Figs. and a conical part λ having a height of 1 m+ formed on the upper surface of the cylindrical part l, and a triangular tapered surface 3 converging at the apex -α on the entire surface of the conical part 2... It is preferable to have a shape in which these are connected in series.

In addition, in this case, the diameter of the cylindrical part l varies depending on the bonding location, for example, 15 m for the knee and 20 mm for the buttock.
For narrow parts such as II+1 ankles, a length of about 10 m is preferable.

Further, FIG. 3 is a modification of FIGS. 1 and 2, in which case the triangular tapered surface 3' may have its ridge lines 3α', 3α' somewhat spiraled to form the apex 2α of the conical portion λ.

The contact piece described above is attached to the diseased area or acupuncture point of the horse, but when the abutment piece shown in Figs. 2 and 3 is used, the top 2α of the conical part and then fix it using a skin patch such as a bandage.

In this case, in this embodiment, a triangular tapered surface 3... or a somewhat spiral triangular tapered surface 3'... is continuously provided on the entire surface of the conical portion. 2
It penetrates into the horse's diseased areas or acupuncture points, allowing for effective treatment.

〔Example〕

1. Test Horses Seven racehorses running in the Yamagata-based Kaminoyama Racecourse were used as test horses. Of these, 5 dogs had muscle pain and 2 dogs had arthritis, and they were classified into 2 groups: myalgia group and arthritis group. All of them are Sara breeds, 4 to 8 years old, 3 females and 4 males (Tables 1 and 2 below).

Table 1. Myalgia group table λ Arthritis group λ Test method The abutment piece shown in Figures 1 and 2 was attached to the shoulder circumference (α
), Yarifu (b), Shouten (c), and in the second part select the acupuncture points of Kidney Shelf (4), Kidney Corner (a), Kuchide (Ha), Sweat Groove (a), and Gofuusagi (A) for each side. I glued them one by one (see Figure 4).

In the arthritis group, two pieces were glued each on the inner and outer sides (see Figure 5).

At the time of training, the contact piece was removed, and when the training was finished, moisture such as sweat was thoroughly wiped off and the piece was pasted on the same area again.

Further, when attaching the abutting piece to the electrified part i, only the part j to which the abutting piece is to be attached was brushed, and the area around it was fixed with a bandage or the like to prevent it from coming off.

Furthermore, when adhering the abutment piece to the joint, an atlantoaxial bandage was applied over the adhered piece to prevent it from coming off (see Figure 6).
.

Note that each of the above test periods was approximately one month.

3. Clinical results The clinical results of the muscle pain group were examined in terms of muscle tension, muscle tenderness, and various types of pain.
The clinical results of the arthritis group were divided into swelling, warmth, and tenderness, and the effects of each were divided into four stages: excellent, effective, moderately effective, and ineffective.

α, The clinical effects for the muscle pain group are as follows: 4 patients found that muscle tension relief was effective, 1 patient said it was ineffective, 3 patients found that muscle tenderness relief was effective, and ＼effective 1 patient.
Head, 1 invalid, missing gait and gait ＼ 3 valid, 2 invalid
It was the head (Table 3).

Table 3. The clinical effects of the arthritis group were slightly effective in reducing swelling (2 cases), relief of heat sensation (2 cases), relief of tenderness (2 cases), disappearance of tenderness (1 case), and 1 case (ineffective). It was the head (Table 4).

4. Conclusion The following conclusions can be drawn from the above clinical effects. That is, a. Relief of muscle tension and muscle tenderness was observed in the muscle pain group, and therefore, the method according to the present invention is effective in cases where muscle fatigue due to exercise accumulates and tenses up and causes pain. .

b. In the arthritis group, relief of swelling and hot sensation was observed.

〔Effect of the invention〕

In summary, this invention is effective in treating diseases of horses' muscular systems, locks, joints, etc., and in racehorses, etc., accumulated fatigue tends to be a cause of diseases. It is also effective in recovering from fatigue before contracting the disease, so it also has a preventive effect against the above-mentioned diseases.
