Solution Overview

Problem

Current treatments for atopic dermatitis and allergies are limited by contraindications and poor tolerance in some patients, lacking definitive efficacy and failing to effectively address skin inflammation and symptom reduction.

Innovation Solution

A composition comprising specific probiotic bacterial strains, such as Lactobacillus salivarius (LS01), Bifidobacterium breve (BR03), Lactobacillus pentosus (LPS01), Streptococcus thermophilus (FP4), Lactobacillus casei ssp. rhamnosus (LR04), and Lactobacillus acidophilus (LA02), which are immunomodulating, capable of colonizing the intestinal tract, and administered in various forms to modulate the immune system and reduce inflammatory cytokines.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If drug-based treatments are used for atopic dermatitis, then some symptoms can be mitigated, but contraindications and poor tolerance limit their use

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetreatment efficacyVSAvoidcontraindications and side effects
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces probiotic bacteria as an intermediary substance that mediates the treatment of atopic dermatitis through immunomodulation. These probiotics act as a bridge between the patient's immune system and the desired therapeutic effect, avoiding direct pharmacological intervention that causes side effects. The probiotics modulate immune responses indirectly by influencing cytokine production and immune cell activity, thereby treating the condition without the harmful effects of conventional drugs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Ease of operation

If conventional treatments are administered, then some symptoms are relieved, but definitive efficacy is lacking and symptoms recur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesymptom reliefVSAvoidlasting effect
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDuration of action of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by administering probiotics before the onset of severe symptoms or during early stages of atopic dermatitis. The probiotics establish themselves in the patient's microbiota and immune system in advance, creating a protective immunomodulatory effect that prevents symptom recurrence rather than merely relieving symptoms after they appear. This proactive approach addresses the root immune dysregulation before it manifests as severe clinical symptoms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Reliability

If probiotic compositions are used, then immunological parameters improve, but specific bacterial strains and compositions must be selected

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimmunological efficacyVSAvoidcomposition formulation
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by optimizing specific characteristics of the probiotic composition, including the selection of particular bacterial strains (such as Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium species), their ratios, viability counts, and formulation parameters. By systematically adjusting these parameters, the patent identifies optimal compositions that deliver reliable immunological effects while managing the complexity of formulation through evidence-based standardization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
