Definitions
- the present invention belongs to the field of devices for reducing / preventing obesity and improving health / cosmetic obesity, and is used particularly as a medical device or a health / beauty device for eliminating obesity by applying ultrasonic irradiation.
- the present invention relates to an ultrasonic irradiation device. Background art
- the used ultrasonic frequency is 1 1 ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ , and some display the drive electric input, but there is no display for the ultrasonic sound output.
- the frequency is 1 ⁇ to 10 ⁇ for medical use, and 1 MHZ for beauty.
- the irradiation acoustic power areal density (hereinafter sometimes abbreviated as power density) is less than 100 OmWZc m 'for continuous irradiation and 240 mWZc (SP TA) or less for pulsed irradiation.
- 1 5 0 0 ⁇ 2 0 0 0 mW / cm for a further small Ku thick muscles output is for beauty, thin muscle in 1 5 0 0 ⁇ 1 0 0 0 mWZ cm 2, face 5 0 0 mW / cm ', and 1 2 0 mW / cm 2 with a pulse irradiation of the face, is set to hit the one-half of the ultrasonic medical community views.
- the numerical value of the power density described in the literature is Both are understood to be electrical outputs. If the numerical value of the power density described in the literature is an electrical output, the electrical-to-acoustic conversion efficiency of the transducer is usually about 30%, so for example, the power density for thick muscles 150 to 200 mWZ cm 2 (electrical power) corresponds to an ultrasonic power of 500 to 700 mW cm 2 , which is consistent with the statement that it is one half of the opinion of the ultrasonic medical community.
- An object of the present invention is to clarify the effective frequency of ultrasonic waves for biolipolysis and the power density range of each frequency including safety, and to irradiate ultrasonic waves for decomposing body fat by safe and effective ultrasonic waves. It is to provide equipment. Disclosure of the invention
- Fat in the body is synthesized from glucose and fatty acids by the action of lipogenic enzymes in fat cells, and part of the fat is accumulated inside fat cells to form oil droplets.
- white fat cells In the case of humans, almost all adult fat cells are white fat cells, and hereinafter simply referred to as fat cells refer to white fat cells.
- Adipocytes are elongated cells with a length of about 20 im when formed, but they become spherical with the accumulation of fat and the internal oil droplets grow to a diameter of 100 m, sometimes reaching 200 m Sometimes. Fat accumulation, with the exception of childhood, is primarily due to the enlargement of individual cells rather than to an increase in fat cell numbers.
- the oil droplets In the grown fat cells, the oil droplets are wrapped in an aqueous cell solution, but the thickness of the cell solution is smaller than the diameter of the oil droplets.
- the cell fluid contains the endoplasmic reticulum, which contains a lipolytic enzyme called hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL), which breaks down fat into glycerol and fatty acids.
- HSL hormone-sensitive lipase
- Fat oil droplets are covered with a layer of molecular fluid called phospholipids that are protected from lipolysis by contact with lipase.
- a part of the phospholipid layer is lost by the action of lipolysis-promoting hormones such as epinephrine (adrenaline) secreted by the adrenal medulla and norepinephrine (noradrenaline) released from the sympathetic nerve terminals.
- lipolysis-promoting hormones such as epinephrine (adrenaline) secreted by the adrenal medulla and norepinephrine (noradrenaline) released from the sympathetic nerve terminals.
- the oil droplets come into direct contact with the degrading enzyme, and lipolysis starts. Fat is broken down into fatty acids and glycerol and goes out into the blood. Finally, it is burned by exercise, etc., and excreted into breath and urine as CO and H 2 O.
- irradiation of a living body with ultrasonic waves has effects such as promotion of enzyme reaction, emulsification, heating, expansion of capillary blood vessels, and promotion of metabolism.
- the sympathetic nerve endings are stimulated and fat such as norepinephrine (noradrenaline) is stimulated.
- fat such as norepinephrine (noradrenaline) is stimulated.
- Degradation-promoting hormone is released, or disturbance is generated in the phospholipid layer and the oil droplet itself, so that the oil droplet and the degrading enzyme can come into contact with each other, and the effect of decomposing fat in the living body can be obtained.
- an ultrasonic irradiation apparatus includes an ultrasonic generation unit that generates ultrasonic waves, and irradiates the ultrasonic waves generated by the ultrasonic generation units to a living body to generate fat in the living body.
- the ultrasonic waves generated by the ultrasonic wave generating means have a frequency in a range of 15 to 140 k ⁇ , and the ultrasonic waves are irradiated on a living body surface to be irradiated with the ultrasonic waves.
- sound power surface density is greater than 1 O mW / cm 2 in the range of frequencies 1 5 ⁇ 5 0 k H z, in the range that does not cause hemolysis in vivo, the range of frequency 5 0 ⁇ 1 4 0 k H z Is characterized by not causing hemolysis in vivo at 4 mW Z cm 2 or more, or being in a range below a safety standard value based on a mechanical index.
- the ultrasonic irradiation apparatus includes ultrasonic generating means for generating ultrasonic waves, and irradiates the ultrasonic waves generated by the ultrasonic generating means to a living body to remove fat in the living body.
- the ultrasonic wave generated by the ultrasonic wave generating means has a frequency in a range of 180 kHz to 1.3 MHz, and is applied to a surface of a living body irradiated with the ultrasonic wave.
- Irradiated sound power area density is greater than 10 mWZc in the frequency range of 180 to 700 kHz and less than the safety standard value based on the mechanical index, and the frequency is 700 kHz. ⁇ 800 mW / cm-in the range of l.3 MHz, below the safety standard based on the canal index It is characterized by being.
- the upper limit of the irradiation acoustic power-area density is set to a range that does not cause hemolysis or is less than a safety reference value based on a mechanical index.
- the upper limit is set to a range that does not cause hemolysis or is less than the safety standard value of the ultrasonic device for medical diagnosis.
- the safety reference value based on the mechanical index of the irradiation acoustic surface area density is such that, for each frequency, the mechanical index is The irradiation acoustic power area density is 0.6.
- the ultrasonic irradiation may be continuous irradiation, pulse irradiation, intermittent irradiation, or a combination thereof. Intermittent irradiation can separate the irradiation time of contact formation between the decomposing enzyme and the oil droplets from the decomposition time after contact.
- the transmittance decreases exponentially with the distance traveled in vivo.
- the exponent is the absorption coefficient X distance.
- the absorption coefficient further increases in proportion to the frequency. For example, the value obtained by dividing the fat absorption coefficient of the human body by the frequency is 0.063 nepa / cm cm / cm, and the attenuation rate when moving 1 cm through the fat layer at 1 MHz is 0. 5 5 dB / cm, and 1.09 dBZcm for muscles as well.
- the valid range 8 0 0 ⁇ 1 0 0 0 mW / c m '1 of 1 MH zeta, effective depth is equivalent to 1. 7 cm, muscle 0. 9 cm from the body in the fat.
- the MI standard should be considered applicable to the treatment of obesity and obesity-related diseases, and is a diagnostic device standard for diagnosis and health promotion including unspecified healthy persons, and for lipolysis for beauty.
- mWZ cm 2 or less should be used. Below about 1 MHz, which we predict the biochemical effect of obesity elimination, the absorption coefficient is proportional to the frequency, so the permeability is large and the biochemical effect is also considered to be strong. Therefore, even when Ml is 0.6 or less, the effects on bones, blood vessels, and internal organs must be carefully considered.
- cavitation predominant below 100 kHz has a risk of destroying cells, and gives a feeling of tingling and discomfort even at a strength that does not destroy cells.
- Hemolysis occurs when a large emulsifying / dispersing force acts on red blood cells in blood. These effects are also a function of the frequency and the power density, and need to be within a range that does not cause the hemolysis.
- the World Federation of Ultrasound Medicine states that the temperature of tissue due to the heating effect should be noted for a wide range of uses, including therapeutic uses other than diagnostics. It is used. A temperature rise of 1.5 ° C or less is considered to be safe, 4 ° C for 5 minutes, and 2 ° C for 30 minutes requires caution.
