Solution Overview

Problem

Current wound healing processes are hindered by prolonged inflammatory phases, increasing the risk of infection and delayed healing, particularly in dermal tissue remodeling, and there is a need for effective utilization of excess fertilized roe from aquaculture to enhance wound care.

Innovation Solution

A pharmaceutical composition utilizing low-temperature extracted fertilized roe extract from specific fish species, which exhibits antioxidant activity, inhibits melanin production, and promotes collagen synthesis, is applied topically or orally to accelerate wound healing and reduce infection risk.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the inflammatory period becomes longer, then the wound healing process can be more complete, but the chance of infection and delay of wound healing increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewound healing completenessVSAvoidinfection risk
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by using fertilized roe extract that contains pre-formed growth factors and cytokines to accelerate the wound healing process from the early inflammatory stage. The extract promotes rapid proliferation of fibroblasts and epithelial cells, enabling the wound to progress through healing phases more quickly while maintaining completeness, thereby reducing the time window for infection risk.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Loss of time

If the dermal tissue remodeling is accelerated, then the wound healing time is reduced, but the complexity of the healing process increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewound healing timeVSAvoidhealing process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by modifying the biochemical environment of the wound site through fertilized roe extract application. The extract contains high concentrations of growth factors (such as EGF, FGF, VEGF) and cytokines that alter cell proliferation rates, collagen synthesis, and angiogenesis parameters, thereby accelerating dermal remodeling without requiring complex external intervention or multiple treatment modalities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Loss of substance

If the fertilized roe is discarded due to market demand changes, then the resource waste is minimized, but the added value of aquaculture is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefertilized roe wasteVSAvoidaquaculture added value
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of substanceVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies blessing in disguise by converting the previously wasted fertilized roe into a valuable pharmaceutical and cosmetic ingredient. The extract from fertilized roe, which was previously discarded due to market demand changes, is now utilized for wound healing applications, transforming a waste product into a beneficial substance that adds significant value to the aquaculture industry while addressing wound care needs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #22Blessing in disguise (Convert harm into benefit)

4Reliability

If the fertilized roe extract concentration is increased, then the wound healing effect is enhanced, but the risk of skin irritation and toxicity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewound healing efficacyVSAvoidskin irritation
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by optimizing the concentration parameters of the fertilized roe extract for wound healing applications. Through systematic evaluation, the patent identifies safe and effective concentration ranges that maximize healing efficacy while minimizing skin irritation and toxicity risks, allowing for tailored application protocols that balance therapeutic benefit with safety.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

A composition for use in wound healing and therefor is disclosed. The multiple components of fish fertilized roe are extracted. By virtue of its ability as an anti-oxidant to eliminate free radicals, inhibition of tyrosinase activity and facilitate the mass secretion of collagen from skin fibroblasts in order to promote skin whitening, anti-aging and wound healing. Accordingly, skin all-round repair is achieved, which is used as a cosmetic raw material and a wound dressing.
