Description

本発明は、生体内NO産生装置に関し、より詳しくは、血管等の生体内でNO(一酸化窒素)を産生するための生体内NO産生装置に関する。   The present invention relates to an in vivo NO production device, and more particularly to an in vivo NO production device for producing NO (nitrogen monoxide) in a living body such as a blood vessel.

生体内の血管内皮細胞で産生されるNOには血管拡張作用があり、動脈硬化の予防において重要な役割を担っていることが従来から知られている。NOの産生量を増やすためには、運動や入浴などにより血流を増加させることが有効とされているが、従来の方法で十分な量のNOを産生することは困難である。   It has been conventionally known that NO produced by vascular endothelial cells in a living body has a vasodilating action and plays an important role in preventing arteriosclerosis. In order to increase the production amount of NO, it is effective to increase the blood flow by exercise or bathing, but it is difficult to produce a sufficient amount of NO by the conventional method.

一方、生体の血流を外部から制御する装置として、例えば特許文献1に開示されているように、動脈の圧迫による阻血および圧迫解除による再灌流を繰り返す構成が知られている。   On the other hand, as an apparatus for controlling the blood flow of a living body from the outside, for example, as disclosed in Patent Document 1, a configuration is known in which reperfusion is performed by ischemia due to arterial pressure and relieving pressure.

再公表特許第2014/21267号公報Republished Patent No. 2014/21267

ところが、上記特許文献1の装置は、動脈の圧迫を、血液の流れが遮断される阻血に至るように、使用者の最大血圧(収縮期血圧)よりも高い圧力で行うため、これを一定期間(例えば5分程度)継続すると、使用者の痛みや不快感が過大になり易いという問題があった。更に、上記特許文献1の装置は、生体内でのアセチルコリンの産生促進を目的とするものであり、NOを効率良く産生することについては、従来から十分検討されていないのが現状である。   However, the device of Patent Document 1 performs compression of an artery at a pressure higher than the user's maximum blood pressure (systolic blood pressure) so as to reach ischemia in which the blood flow is blocked. If it continues (for example, about 5 minutes), there is a problem that the user's pain and discomfort tend to be excessive. Furthermore, the device of Patent Document 1 is intended to promote the production of acetylcholine in a living body, and it has not been sufficiently studied to efficiently produce NO.

そこで、本発明は、使用者の痛みや不快感を抑制しつつ、生体内でNOを効率良く産生することができる生体内NO産生装置の提供を目的とする。   Then, this invention aims at provision of the in-vivo NO production apparatus which can produce NO efficiently in the living body, suppressing a user's pain and discomfort.

本発明の前記目的は、四肢のいずれかに装着されて血管を圧迫する圧迫手段と、前記圧迫手段による圧迫を基準圧力に基づいて制御する制御手段とを備え、前記基準圧力は収縮期血圧であり、前記制御手段は、前記基準圧力の47〜93%に圧迫圧力を設定し、前記圧迫圧力で前記圧迫手段による所定時間の圧迫を行う生体内NO産生装置により達成される。   The object of the present invention includes compression means that is attached to one of the extremities and compresses a blood vessel, and control means that controls compression by the compression means based on a reference pressure, wherein the reference pressure is systolic blood pressure. The control means is achieved by an in-vivo NO producing device that sets a compression pressure to 47-93% of the reference pressure and performs compression for a predetermined time by the compression means with the compression pressure.

この生体内NO産生装置は、前記基準圧力を使用者の操作により入力可能な入力手段を更に備えることが好ましい。   This in-vivo NO production device preferably further comprises an input means capable of inputting the reference pressure by a user operation.

前記制御手段は、前記圧迫手段による圧迫を、間隔をあけて繰り返し行うことが好ましく、前記圧迫手段による圧迫を3回繰り返して停止することがより好ましい。前記制御手段は、前記圧迫手段による圧迫を繰り返す毎に、前記圧迫圧力を前記基準圧力の47〜70%の範囲で段階的に増加させるように構成してもよい。   The control means preferably performs the compression by the compression means repeatedly at intervals, and more preferably stops the compression by the compression means three times. The control means may be configured to increase the compression pressure stepwise within a range of 47 to 70% of the reference pressure every time the compression by the compression means is repeated.

本発明によれば、使用者の痛みや不快感を抑制しつつ、生体内でNOを効率良く産生することができる生体内NO産生装置を提供することができる。   ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the in-vivo NO production apparatus which can produce NO efficiently in the living body can be provided, suppressing a user's pain and discomfort.

以下、本発明の一実施形態について添付図面を参照して説明する。図1は、本発明の一実施形態に係る生体内NO産生装置の概略構成図であり、図2は、 図1に示す生体内NO産生装置のブロック図である。図1および図2に示すように、生体内NO産生装置1は、腕や脚などの四肢のいずれかに装着される圧迫装置10と、圧迫装置10に接続される装置本体20とを備えている。圧迫装置10は、本実施形態では1つとしているが、複数設けて、それぞれを四肢の異なる部位に装着可能に構成してもよい。   Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a schematic configuration diagram of an in vivo NO production device according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a block diagram of the in vivo NO production device shown in FIG. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the in-vivo NO production device 1 includes a compression device 10 that is attached to one of four limbs such as an arm and a leg, and a device body 20 that is connected to the compression device 10. Yes. In the present embodiment, one compression device 10 is provided, but a plurality of compression devices 10 may be provided so that each can be attached to different parts of the limbs.

圧迫装置10は、帯状のベルト11と、ベルト11の内面に取り付けられた流体袋12とを備えており、動脈の血流を抑制しようとする生体部位に流体袋12を当接させて、ベルト11を巻き付けた後、面ファスナー等からなる固着部13をベルト11の外面に押し付けることにより、圧迫装置10を生体部位に固定することができる。圧迫装置10としては、例えば、市販されている血圧測定用のカフを使用することができる。   The compression device 10 includes a belt-like belt 11 and a fluid bag 12 attached to the inner surface of the belt 11, and the fluid bag 12 is brought into contact with a living body site where blood flow in an artery is to be suppressed. After winding 11, the pressing device 10 can be fixed to the living body part by pressing the fixing portion 13 made of a hook and loop fastener against the outer surface of the belt 11. As the compression device 10, for example, a commercially available cuff for blood pressure measurement can be used.

装置本体20は、プッシュボタンやダイヤル等からなる入力部21、基準圧力等の各種情報を記憶する半導体メモリ等からなる記憶部22、CPU等からなる制御部23、圧迫装置10を駆動する駆動部24、および液晶パネル等からなる表示部25を備えている。入力部21および表示部25は、装置本体20の外面に設けられており、記憶部22、制御部23および駆動部24は装置本体20に内蔵されている。   The apparatus main body 20 includes an input unit 21 including a push button and a dial, a storage unit 22 including a semiconductor memory that stores various information such as a reference pressure, a control unit 23 including a CPU, and a drive unit that drives the compression device 10. 24 and a display unit 25 including a liquid crystal panel or the like. The input unit 21 and the display unit 25 are provided on the outer surface of the apparatus main body 20, and the storage unit 22, the control unit 23, and the drive unit 24 are built in the apparatus main body 20.

駆動部24は、ポンプ、弁、圧力センサ等を備えており、圧迫装置10の流体袋12に接続管14を介して接続されて、流体袋12に対するガス等の流体の供給または排出を行う。制御部23は、記憶部22に記憶された基準圧力に基づいて、駆動部24の駆動を制御する。   The drive unit 24 includes a pump, a valve, a pressure sensor, and the like, and is connected to the fluid bag 12 of the compression device 10 through the connection pipe 14 to supply or discharge a fluid such as a gas to the fluid bag 12. The control unit 23 controls driving of the driving unit 24 based on the reference pressure stored in the storage unit 22.

次に、上記の構成を備える生体内NO産生装置1の作動を説明する。本実施形態の生体内NO産生装置1は、使用者が血圧計により予め測定する等して把握する自身の収縮期血圧(最大血圧)を、入力部21の操作により基準圧力として入力することができる。入力された基準圧力は、記憶部22に格納される。記憶部22に格納される基準圧力は、必ずしも入力部21から入力された情報に限定されるものではなく、例えば、生体内NO産生装置1を他の血圧計等の機器に接続したり、生体内NO産生装置1に血圧計の機能を付加する等して、収縮期血圧が記憶部22に自動的に格納されるように構成してもよい。あるいは、記憶部22に過去に格納された基準圧力を、使用者の識別IDの入力等により取り出して使用することもできる。   Next, the operation of the in-vivo NO production device 1 having the above configuration will be described. The in-vivo NO producing device 1 of the present embodiment can input its own systolic blood pressure (maximum blood pressure), which is grasped by the user by measuring in advance with a sphygmomanometer or the like, as a reference pressure by operating the input unit 21. it can. The input reference pressure is stored in the storage unit 22. The reference pressure stored in the storage unit 22 is not necessarily limited to the information input from the input unit 21. For example, the in-vivo NO production device 1 may be connected to other devices such as a sphygmomanometer, A systolic blood pressure may be automatically stored in the storage unit 22 by adding a function of a sphygmomanometer to the internal NO production device 1. Or the reference pressure stored in the memory | storage part 22 in the past can also be taken out and used by the input of a user's identification ID, etc.

ついで、使用者が四肢のいずれかの部位に圧迫装置10を巻き付けて固定した後、入力部21の開始ボタンを押圧すると、制御部23は、使用者の基準圧力から流体袋12の圧迫圧力を設定し、この圧迫圧力で圧迫装置10による所定時間の圧迫を行う。この後、制御部23が圧迫装置10による圧迫を解除すると、抑制された血流の急激な変動によって血管内皮細胞にずり応力が作用し、血管内皮細胞からNOが放出される。生体部位を圧迫する所定時間は、その後の圧迫解除により血管拡張反応が生じる時間であれば特に限定されないが、例えば1〜10分間であり、入力部21の操作により連続的あるいは段階的(例えば10秒毎)に変更可能にしてもよい。圧迫圧力は、後述するように基準圧力の47〜93%の範囲に設定されることが好ましく、動脈が阻血に至らない収縮期血圧よりも、更に低い圧力に設定される。このような設定圧力では、静脈系が主に圧迫される。圧迫圧力の基準圧力に対する割合は、上記の数値範囲内で予め記憶部22に記憶された値を使用してもよく、あるいは、入力部21の操作によって上記の数値範囲内で連続的あるいは段階的(例えば5刻み)に変更可能に構成することで、使用者が適宜選択した値を使用してもよい。   Next, when the user wraps and fixes the compression device 10 around any part of the limb and presses the start button of the input unit 21, the control unit 23 changes the compression pressure of the fluid bag 12 from the reference pressure of the user. The pressure is set and the compression device 10 performs compression for a predetermined time with this compression pressure. Thereafter, when the control unit 23 releases the compression by the compression device 10, shear stress acts on the vascular endothelial cells due to the rapid fluctuation of the suppressed blood flow, and NO is released from the vascular endothelial cells. The predetermined time for compressing the living body part is not particularly limited as long as it causes a vasodilatation reaction by the subsequent release of the pressure, but is, for example, 1 to 10 minutes, and is continuous or stepwise (for example, 10 It may be changeable every second). The compression pressure is preferably set in the range of 47 to 93% of the reference pressure, as will be described later, and is set to a pressure lower than the systolic blood pressure at which the artery does not cause ischemia. At such a set pressure, the venous system is mainly compressed. As the ratio of the compression pressure to the reference pressure, a value stored in the storage unit 22 in advance within the above numerical range may be used, or continuously or stepwise within the above numerical range by operating the input unit 21. By configuring so as to be changeable (for example, in increments of 5), a value appropriately selected by the user may be used.

圧迫装置10による生体部位の圧迫は、1回のみであってもよいが、間隔をあけて繰り返し行うことが好ましい。圧迫を繰り返す場合の間隔(圧迫が解除される時間)は、特に限定されないが、血流増加により血管径が最大拡張に至ることが可能な時間であることが好ましく、例えば1〜10分間であり、入力部21の操作により連続的あるいは段階的(例えば10秒毎)に変更可能にしてもよい。圧迫の繰り返し回数も特に制限はないが、繰り返し回数が多すぎるとNO産生の効果が生じ難くなることから、2〜5回であることが好ましく、後述するように3回が最も好ましい。圧迫回数についても、入力部21の操作により変更可能に構成することができる。圧迫を繰り返す場合の圧迫時間および圧迫解除時間は、圧迫の繰り返し毎に同じであってもよく、あるいは、圧迫の繰り返し毎に変化させてもよい。   Although the compression of the living body part by the compression apparatus 10 may be performed only once, it is preferably performed repeatedly at intervals. The interval when the compression is repeated (the time when the compression is released) is not particularly limited, but is preferably a time that allows the blood vessel diameter to reach maximum expansion due to an increase in blood flow, for example, 1 to 10 minutes. The operation may be changed continuously or stepwise (for example, every 10 seconds) by operating the input unit 21. There are no particular restrictions on the number of repetitions of compression, but if the number of repetitions is too large, the effect of NO production is less likely to occur. The number of compressions can also be configured to be changed by operating the input unit 21. The compression time and the compression release time when the compression is repeated may be the same every time the compression is repeated, or may be changed every time the compression is repeated.

図3は、大腿部の圧迫によるNO代謝産物の測定結果を示している。被験者の収縮期血圧である128mmHgを基準圧力とし、圧迫圧力をパラメータとして、5分間の圧迫および3分間の圧迫解除を3回繰り返した後の静脈でのNO血中濃度をGriess法により測定することで、NOの産生量を推量した。圧迫圧力は、60mmHg、90mmHg、120mmHgとしており、これらは基準圧力に対してそれぞれ約47%、約70%、約93%である。 FIG. 3 shows the measurement results of NO metabolites by thigh compression. The NO 2 blood concentration in the vein after repeating 5 minutes of compression and 3 minutes of compression release 3 times is measured by Griess method using 128 mmHg which is the systolic blood pressure of the subject as a reference pressure and the compression pressure as a parameter. Thus, the production amount of NO was estimated. The compression pressure is 60 mmHg, 90 mmHg, and 120 mmHg, which are about 47%, about 70%, and about 93%, respectively, with respect to the reference pressure.

図3に示すように、圧迫圧力を基準圧力の47〜93%にしたときに、NOが良好に産生されていることを確認した。圧迫圧力を基準圧力の93%よりも高くして基準圧力に近づけると、圧迫時間の間に生じる痛みや不快感が過大になる一方、NOの産生量は基準圧力の70%のときをピークに減少傾向にあることから、圧迫圧力を基準圧力の47〜93%に設定することが好ましい。特に、圧迫圧力を基準圧力の47〜70%に設定すると、痛みや不快感を十分抑制しつつNO産生を促すことができるため、より好ましい。圧迫を繰り返し行う場合、圧迫の繰り返しによって痛みや不快感を徐々に感じ難くなるため、繰り返し毎の圧迫圧力を、基準圧力の47〜70%の範囲で段階的に増加させることが好ましい。例えば、この割合に関する入力部21からの入力値をAとすると、入力部21から入力等された基準圧力に対して、1回目の圧迫圧力は基準圧力の(A−20)%に、2回目の圧迫圧力は基準圧力の(A−10)%に、3回目の圧迫圧力は基準圧力のA%に、それぞれ設定することができる。上記の各割合は固定された値でもよく、例えば、1回目の圧迫圧力は基準圧力の50%に、2回目の圧迫圧力は基準圧力の60%に、3回目の圧迫圧力は基準圧力の70%に、それぞれ設定することもできる。   As shown in FIG. 3, it was confirmed that NO was produced satisfactorily when the compression pressure was 47 to 93% of the reference pressure. When the compression pressure is set higher than 93% of the reference pressure and brought close to the reference pressure, the pain and discomfort generated during the compression time become excessive, while the NO production peaked at 70% of the reference pressure. Since the pressure tends to decrease, the compression pressure is preferably set to 47 to 93% of the reference pressure. In particular, it is more preferable to set the compression pressure to 47 to 70% of the reference pressure because NO production can be promoted while sufficiently suppressing pain and discomfort. When repeatedly performing compression, it is difficult to feel pain and discomfort gradually due to repeated compression. Therefore, it is preferable to increase the compression pressure for each repetition in a range of 47 to 70% of the reference pressure. For example, when the input value from the input unit 21 relating to this ratio is A, the first compression pressure is (A-20)% of the reference pressure with respect to the reference pressure input from the input unit 21 and the like. The compression pressure can be set to (A-10)% of the reference pressure, and the third compression pressure can be set to A% of the reference pressure. Each of the above ratios may be a fixed value. For example, the first compression pressure is 50% of the reference pressure, the second compression pressure is 60% of the reference pressure, and the third compression pressure is 70% of the reference pressure. % Can also be set respectively.

図4は、大腿部の圧迫の繰り返し回数をパラメータとしたときのNO代謝産物の測定結果を示している。圧迫圧力は90mmHgとして、5分間の圧迫および3分間の圧迫解除を繰り返したときのNOの産生量を、図3に示す測定結果の場合と同様の測定方法で求めたところ、3回目までは圧迫を行う毎にNO産生量は増加したが、4回目および5回目においては、NO産生量が圧迫前の値と同等であった。すなわち、圧迫を3回繰り返した後に停止することで、NOを効率良く産生できることを確認した。   FIG. 4 shows the measurement results of NO metabolites when the number of repetitions of thigh compression is used as a parameter. When the compression pressure was 90 mmHg and the amount of NO produced when the compression for 5 minutes and the release of the compression for 3 minutes were repeated was determined by the same measurement method as in the measurement results shown in FIG. 3, it was compressed until the third time. The amount of NO production increased each time the test was performed, but in the fourth and fifth times, the NO production amount was equivalent to the value before compression. That is, it was confirmed that NO can be efficiently produced by stopping after repeating the compression three times.

本発明の効果を確認するため、歩行運動の前後におけるNO産生量の変化を図5に示す。図5は、被験者の歩行前のNO代謝産物と、30分早足歩き後のNO代謝産物とを、図3に示す測定結果の場合と同様の測定方法で求めた結果を示している。図5に示すように、歩行運動後のNO産生量は、歩行運動前のNO産生量に対して約1.5倍に増加している。この測定結果を、図3に示す測定結果と対比させると、図3に示す圧迫圧力が基準圧力の47〜93%である場合のNO産生量は、いずれも図5に示す歩行運動後のNO産生量の平均値を上回っており、本実施形態の生体内NO産生装置1を、図3の場合の圧迫条件下で使用することで、早足歩きを30分した場合よりも多量のNOが産生することが明らかになった。   In order to confirm the effect of this invention, the change of NO production amount before and behind a walking exercise is shown in FIG. FIG. 5 shows the results obtained by measuring the NO metabolite before walking of the subject and the NO metabolite after walking fast for 30 minutes by the same measurement method as in the measurement result shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 5, the NO production amount after walking exercise is increased by about 1.5 times the NO production amount before walking exercise. When this measurement result is compared with the measurement result shown in FIG. 3, the NO production amount when the compression pressure shown in FIG. 3 is 47 to 93% of the reference pressure is NO in the walking exercise shown in FIG. 5. The amount of production exceeds the average value, and the in-vivo NO production device 1 of this embodiment is used under the compression condition in the case of FIG. 3, so that a larger amount of NO is produced than when fast walking is performed for 30 minutes. It became clear to do.

図6は、本実施形態の生体内NO産生装置を被験者が継続的に使用した場合の脈拍数および血圧の変化を示している。90mmHgの圧迫圧力による5分間の圧迫および3分間の圧迫解除の3回の繰り返しを1セットとして、5月前半から毎日1セットを行い、半月毎に脈拍数、最低血圧および最高血圧を測定した。図6に示すように、脈拍数および血圧は、いずれも使用開始から1か月程度を経過すると低下傾向を示しており、NOによる自立神経系への介入効果が示唆された。   FIG. 6 shows changes in the pulse rate and blood pressure when the subject continuously uses the in vivo NO production device of the present embodiment. Three sets of 5 minutes of compression with 90 mmHg pressure and 3 minutes of release of compression were taken as one set, and one set was performed every day from the first half of May, and the pulse rate, diastolic blood pressure and systolic blood pressure were measured every half month. As shown in FIG. 6, both the pulse rate and blood pressure showed a tendency to decrease after about one month from the start of use, suggesting an intervention effect on the independent nervous system by NO.

図7は、本実施形態の生体内NO産生装置を被験者が継続的に使用した場合の血糖値(HbA1c値)の変化を示している。図6の測定と同様の圧迫条件で4月前半から5月末まで毎日1セットを行い、6月からは1日2セットに増やして体重およびHbA1c値を毎月測定したところ、7月前半の時点では、体重は6月から増加して開始時とほとんど同じである一方、HbA1c値は低下傾向を示しており、NOによる自立神経系への介入効果が示唆された。   FIG. 7 shows a change in blood glucose level (HbA1c value) when the subject continuously uses the in-vivo NO production device of the present embodiment. Under the same compression conditions as in Fig. 6, one set was performed daily from the first half of April to the end of May, and from June, the weight and HbA1c values were increased every month to two sets per day. While the body weight increased from June and was almost the same as that at the start, the HbA1c value showed a tendency to decrease, suggesting the effect of NO intervention on the autonomic nervous system.

図8は、本実施形態の生体内NO産生装置の使用による血管年齢(baPWV値)の変化を示している。被験者が年1回の定期健康診断で測定したbaPWV値は、生体内NO産生装置の使用開始により大幅に低下しており、血管年齢の改善が示唆された。   FIG. 8 shows changes in blood vessel age (baPWV value) due to the use of the in vivo NO production apparatus of this embodiment. The baPWV value measured by the subject in a regular health check once a year was significantly reduced by the start of use of the in vivo NO production device, suggesting an improvement in blood vessel age.
