- the present invention relates to a biological information measuring device used.
- an ATR element made of zinc selenide, silicon, germanium, etc., which is an ATR element, is held in the mouth, and light is incident on the ATR element while the ATR element is held down by the lip, and the reflection surface of the ATR element and the lip.
- the light emitted to the outside of the ATR element by repeating total reflection at the boundary with is analyzed.
- the above method is an application of evanescent waves (so-called bleeding light) to quantitative analysis.
- Light that travels through the ATR prism reflects slightly after penetrating the lips. Therefore, light is affected by each component in the body fluid present in the lips.
- Patent Document 1 discloses that the surface tissue of a living body, preferably a skin tissue or a mucosal tissue, more preferably a dermis tissue or a subcutaneous tissue in a skin tissue, or a specific mucosa in a mucosal tissue is disclosed by light absorption. Methods for analyzing the properties of the layers or submucosa are disclosed.
- spectroscopic analysis is performed by raising a part of the surface tissue of a living body using the groove, and performing a light emitting / receiving operation on a light emitting part which opposes the light emitting part through the raised part.
- a signal sufficient for measurement can be obtained even with the use of near-infrared light of 1.4 to 2.5 micrometers, which can provide information on bodily fluid components. it can.
- the optical path length of the light passing through the living body can be determined from the dimension of the groove. It is known from the Lambert-Beer law that light absorption and absorption by a living body is proportional to the optical path length. Therefore, the fact that the optical path length can be mechanically determined from the dimensions of the groove has a very significant meaning for the measurement using light, and is a great advantage of the present method.
- Patent Document 2 discloses a contact means having a concave portion that comes into contact with a living tissue, a detection light emitting means that emits detection light from a part of the concave portion, and another detection light portion within the concave portion.
- a detection light incident means for receiving the detection light, the detection light being incident on the living body in a state where the contacting means is in contact with the living tissue;
- Patent Document 1 Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-178799
- Patent Document 2 WO 01/58355 pamphlet
- the conventional optical measuring method and optical measuring device as described above have the following problems.
- the depth d at which the evanescent wave penetrates into the living body is approximately expressed by the following equation (1):
- ⁇ is the wavelength of light
- ⁇ is the angle of incidence
- ⁇ is the refractive index of the crystal
- ⁇ is the result.
- the refractive index of the medium in contact with the crystal is the refractive index of the medium in contact with the crystal
- the wavelength of light is 10 ⁇ m
- ZnSe crystal reffractive index: about 2.0
- the incident angle is 45 degrees
- the surrounding medium is water (refractive index: about 1.3).
- d 5.7 / m
- the electric field of the evanescent wave decays exponentially according to the depth to which the evanescent wave reaches. Therefore, the signals obtained are mostly those of the stratum corneum and saliva in the shallow part. Since there is no living body information in the stratum corneum or saliva, it is considered that there is very little living body information in these signals.
- the thickness of saliva and the thickness of the stratum corneum will vary with each measurement. Changes in the thickness of saliva and stratum corneum change the optical path length through living tissue. As the optical path length of light passing through the biological tissue changes, the amount of light absorbed by the biological tissue changes for each measurement due to a factor different from the biological information. From the above two points, it is considered that measurement using the ATR element is extremely difficult.
- the living tissue is raised by bringing the living tissue into contact with the formed groove or recess, and the light is guided to the living tissue using an optical fiber.
- an optical fiber By using an optical fiber, it becomes possible to selectively measure a portion of a living tissue to be measured.
- optical fiber materials that can be used when utilizing mid-infrared light in the 10 / zm band.
- Such materials include, for example, Shio-Dani Silver 'Silver Bromide Phino, KRS-5 fiber, hollow fiber and the like.
- KRS-5 fiber When used in air, which has very poor moisture resistance, the salted silver / bromide fiber absorbs moisture in the air and becomes unusable. KRS-5 fiber is very toxic, and should not be used in contact with living organisms.
- hollow fibers can efficiently guide mid-infrared light, but it is necessary to form various thin films required to guide mid-infrared light in the hollow part, and ultrafineness is required. Very difficult.
- the crests of the grooves and the recesses refer to the tips (ribs) between the grooves and between the recesses where the living tissue first comes into contact with the grooves and the recesses, in view of the lateral force of the optical element.
- the part is a part farthest from the living tissue, corresponding to the groove and the concave part, and the farthest part corresponding to the part.
- a decrease in the degree of adhesion means that a substance different from the living tissue, such as air, saliva, sweat, or tears, is interposed between the optical element and the living tissue, so that light between the living tissue and the intervening substance is present. Is reflected or scattered, and the optical path length of the light transmitted through the living tissue changes due to the presence of the intervening substance, and as a result, the measurement is adversely affected. Therefore, the degree of adhesion greatly affects the light absorption of living tissue, and the degree of adhesion deteriorates. Then, the error increases. Therefore, measurement by the conventional method as described above is very difficult.

Means the farthest part corresponding to
- the light transmission control means can be formed of a light absorber, a light scatterer, or a light reflector, and may be constituted by a shift of a single-layer film and a multilayer film.
- the present invention includes a light source, the above-described optical element, a photodetector that detects light emitted from the optical element, and a calculation unit that calculates information obtained by the photodetector.
- the present invention also relates to a biological information measuring device.
- the bottom of the valley of the groove becomes extremely small in dimension.

You may have it. In this case, it suffices to directly drop on a predetermined portion of the optical element.
- the surface of only the portion of the groove 10 where the light transmission control means 11 is to be provided may be roughened by blasting or the like to scatter light.
- the light transmission control means 11 may be constituted by using both the light scatterer and the light absorber.
- the light absorber can be formed using the means for forming the light absorber.
- the light reflector those known in the art can be used without any particular limitation. For example, forming a metal thin film with a metal such as aluminum, silver, gold, and copper can be mentioned.
- the light transmission control means 11 ' is provided on the entire surface of the optical element except for the light incident surface, the groove and the light emitting surface.
- the bottom of the valley of the groove becomes very small in size, so that the living tissue does not enter the valley, or the peak between the grooves is reduced. Even if the living tissue is greatly deformed in the part, and the adhesion between the living tissue and the groove is reduced, light can be reliably incident only on the part with high adhesion, and at least the adhesion is high. Light with a partial force can be reliably emitted.
- the use of the optical element of the present invention enables non-invasive measurement of a body fluid component in a test sample such as a living body with high accuracy, stability, and ease.
- a biological information measuring device the effect of insufficient adhesion can be mitigated, and the concentration of a target component in a test sample can be measured stably and easily. Therefore, the present invention is useful for measuring body fluid components for medical use.
