Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If conventional cell culture methods are used to produce exosomes, then the purity of exosomes can be maintained, but the production quantity is insufficient for clinical use

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveexosome production quantityVSAvoidmanufacturing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses fish testis tissue as a disposable, non-living biological material source instead of maintaining living cell cultures. The tissue is processed once and then discarded, eliminating the need for complex, ongoing cell culture maintenance while enabling large-scale exosome production. This approach transforms a sustainable but low-yield cell culture system into a high-yield batch processing system using readily available biological material.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #27Cheap short-living objects (Disposable)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the source material parameters from cultured mammalian cells to fish testis tissue, which naturally contains high concentrations of PDRN. This parameter change in the biological source enables simultaneous achievement of high exosome yield and high PDRN content, overcoming the limitation of conventional methods that require extensive cell cultivation infrastructure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Manufacturing precision

If exosomes are produced from fish testis tissue without ultrasonication, then the production process is simpler, but the molecular weight of PDRN remains high reducing efficacy

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovePDRN molecular weight controlVSAvoidprocessing steps
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies ultrasonic vibration to the fish testis tissue during processing. This mechanical vibration energy breaks down the tissue structure and shears the PDRN into lower molecular weight fragments. The ultrasonication step is straightforward to implement and directly achieves the desired PDRN molecular weight reduction without requiring complex enzymatic digestion protocols or multiple processing steps.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #18Mechanical vibration

3Reliability

If high molecular weight PDRN is used in exosomes, then the structural integrity is maintained, but the intracellular uptake efficiency is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveintracellular uptake efficiencyVSAvoidPDRN molecular weight
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The patent deliberately changes the molecular weight parameter of PDRN from high to low through ultrasonication. This parameter modification enables the PDRN to be more efficiently taken up by cells while still maintaining its functional integrity within the exosome structure. The lower molecular weight PDRN fragments can penetrate cell membranes more effectively, achieving the desired reliability improvement.

AI summary

The present invention relates to polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN)-containing exosomes, a composition including same, and a preparation method therefor, wherein the PDRN-containing exosomes of the present invention are derived from a fish testis tissue and include high-purity, low-molecular weight PDRN. In addition, exosomes containing a significant amount of low molecular weight PDRN can be induced through a simple process of ultrasonic treatment. Furthermore, application of ultrasound to the separated exosomes can prepare PDRN exosomes that are made to have low molecular weights, whereby the exosomes exhibit high intracellular uptake rates and thus can be advantageously used for manufacturing a tissue regeneration or anti-inflammatory composition.
