The invention provides an integrated framework for detecting peripheral sympathetic responses through imaging. The measurements may be performed on three facial areas of sympathetic importance, that is, periorbital, supraorbital, and maxillary. Because the imaging measurements are thermal in nature and comprise multiple components of variable frequency (i.e., blood flow, sweat gland activation, and breathing), wavelets are used as the image analysis framework. The image analysis may be grounded on GSR signals.

The tissue engineering skin is similar to natural skin, comprises the dermis layer and the epidermis layer, can be produced in batches, can be closely attached to a wound, and has high biocompatibility, the dermis layer contains blood vessels, sweat glands and hair follicles, the shape, size and thickness of the tissue engineering skin can be easily changed, the elasticity and flexibility of the skin after sound healing can be enhanced, and the tissue engineering transplantation success rate can be increased.

An apparatus, method and system are provided for sensing at least one biometric measure of an individual. An electrical current flows through an electrode to induce an electromagnetic field. The electromagnetic field stimulates and excites the molecules associated with the sweat gland pores and causes molecular compounds to fluoresce. An image of the fluoresced dermal surface is obtained and a biometric function is performed with data derived from the image. Alternatively, sweat gland pore biometric information may be derived from variations, fluctuations or disturbances to the electromagnetic field induced by the electrical current.

The invention relates to a preparation method of tissue engineering skin containing appendant organs. In the invention, the preparation method comprises the following steps of: inoculating amniotic mesenchyme stem cells, amniotic mesenchyme stem cells induced to the directions of hair papillae, amniotic epithelial cells and amniotic epithelial cells induced to the directions of the epithelia of the sweat gland into a gel solution, then inoculating the amniotic epithelial cells and the amniotic epithelial cells induced by keratinocyte in a warp direction on the surface of a structure of the hair follicle and the sweat gland after culturing by a dermal layer by induced culture forming the structure of the hair follicle and the sweat gland, and obtaining the tissue engineering skin with the structure of the hair follicle and the sweat gland after culturing. The skin has elasticity, toughness, vigorous cellular metabolism, strong multiplication capacity, sufficient secretion of extracellular matrices, tight linkage of the cuticular layer, the inophragma and the cells of the dermal layer and little possibility of falling off, enhances the success rate of transplantation, can promote the healing of a wound surface, enhances the effects of restoration and replacement and has the function of regulating the immunological rejection of a receptor; by the contained structure of the hair follicle and the sweat gland, the function of the skin is more complete; the adopted amniotic tissues are postpartum wastes and have extensive source, strong cell multiplication capability and multiplepassage frequency; and the invention is beneficial to the mass production of seed cells and lowers the industrialization cost.

The invention discloses a dynamic lumbar spinal cord comprehensive fumigation treatment device which is applied to the field of medical instruments and comprises a frame body and a supporting plate arranged on the frame body and allowing human bodies to lie low. A medicine heating bath is arranged below the supporting plate, a fumigation zone is arranged right above the medicine heating bath on the supporting plate, dense steam rising holes are formed in the fumigation zone, and a lower limb moving device is arranged behind the fumigation zone on the supporting plate. When a user lies low on the supporting plate to achieve fumigation on the lumbar spinal cord through the fumigation zone, the lower limb moving device can drive motion and tension of lumbar spinal cord tissues to ensure fumigated medicines to be to be absorbed and utilized fully and effectively, the user can move lower limbs positively, load increasing and torsional resistance flexion and extension and other activities of angles, hips and kneeds are performed actively, therefore, expansion of vessels in the body is prompted, blood circulation of body surface tissues and great secretion of sweat glands are promoted, activity of skins is improved quickly, and absorption effect of the skins is improved. The dynamic lumbar spinal cord comprehensive fumigation treatment device is novel in design and conforms to the skin pharmacology.

Non-pathological, physiologically normal sweating is inhibited through use of an a muscarinic anticholinergic amine that blocks parasympathetic stimuli from cholinergic nerve fibers to an innerved sweat gland. The anticholinergic agent is included in a form adapted to be topically applied to commonly sweaty areas of the body. Side effects are minimized by employing amines which are charged at physiological pH, thereby minimizing their ability to cross biological membranes. The most prefered anticholinergic agents are salts of quaternary amines (quaternary ammonium salts) which are always charged.

The invention relates to multi-character vivo identification method and device. On the basis that vivo skin displays sweat gland distribution, skin patterns (such as fingerprint) and other information under an infrared micro imaging system, an infrared detector detects vivo sweat gland information, the skin patterns (such as fingerprint) and other information which are acquired by the infrared micro imaging system and the vivo information with the presorted information are compared. The sweat gland imaging of the infrared micro imaging system is based on the temperature difference of the vivo surface skin and the vivo sweat gland, so single vivo can be identified by the method at higher safety so as to prevent the illegal camouflage.

Marker compounds indicative of variations in physiological conditions, genetic defects or disease states have been found to be present in apocrine sweat and, in many conditions, these markers are present in apocrine sweat in elevated levels when compared to blood. These markers are collected and/or detected in apocrine sweat and used as an indicator that a disease state or particular physiological condition exists. A skin patch, wipe or electronic detector for vapors released from apocrine sweat are used to indicate the existence of a disease state or changing physiological condition. The patch or wipe can include in monoclonal antibodies or other chemical compounds that can indicate the presence of specific markers. This may include indicators that render visible, the existence of a reaction between the monoclonal antibody or chemical compound and the marker compound to indicate the existence of the condition being tested for. Various different disease states can be detected including, but not limited to heart disease, cancer, autoimmune disease, viral or bacterial disease, renal disease, drug intoxication and other systemic illnesses. Fertility for conception and histocompatibility for organ transplantation of individuals should also be detectable.
