Solution Overview

Problem

Current treatments for type 2 diabetes, particularly in Western medicine, have limited efficacy and numerous side effects, and there is a need for an alternative therapeutic approach that can effectively manage the condition without adverse reactions.

Innovation Solution

A traditional Chinese medicine composition comprising specific herbal ingredients such as wild Descolor Cinquefoil Herb, wild Rhizoma imperatae, wild Root and Rhizome of Japanese Climbing Fern, Ginseng leaf, wild Rough Melic, wild Vitex negundo L., Morus alba L., green tea, wild auricularia, corn silk, and dandelion root, formulated in various weight ratios, which can be prepared into decoctions, powders, pills, or capsules, to clear heat, promote fluid production, nourish the liver and kidney, and induce diuresis and detumescence.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If Western medicine drugs are used to control type 2 diabetes, then blood glucose levels can be controlled, but the treatment has limited efficacy and produces many side effects

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecurative effectVSAvoidside effects
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the composite materials principle by formulating a traditional Chinese medicine composition that integrates multiple herbal ingredients (wild Descolor Cinquefoil Herb, wild Rhizoma imperatae, wild Root and Rhizome of Japanese Climbing Fern, Ginseng leaf, wild Rough Melic, wild Vitex negundo L., Morus alba L., green tea, wild auricularia, corn silk, and dandelion root). This composite herbal formulation works synergistically to lower blood glucose levels while avoiding the harmful side effects associated with conventional Western medicine drugs, thereby improving both curative effect and safety profile.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Reliability

If conventional Western medicine treatments are used, then diabetes symptoms can be managed, but the efficacy is limited and the treatment cannot fundamentally cure the disease

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecurative effectVSAvoidfundamental cure capability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the universality principle by designing a multi-functional traditional Chinese medicine composition that simultaneously performs multiple therapeutic functions: lowering blood glucose levels, improving insulin sensitivity, protecting pancreatic beta cells, and preventing diabetic complications. This comprehensive approach enables the formulation to not only manage diabetes symptoms but also address the underlying pathogenesis, thereby achieving fundamental cure capability that conventional single-function Western medicine drugs cannot provide.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Object-affected harmful factors

If traditional Chinese medicine composition is used, then no adverse reactions occur and stable curative effect is achieved, but the composition requires multiple herbal ingredients in specific ratios

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadverse reactionsVSAvoidcomposition complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the parameter changes principle by optimizing and standardizing the weight ratios of each herbal ingredient in the composition. By establishing specific quantitative parameters for each component (wild Descolor Cinquefoil Herb, wild Rhizoma imperatae, wild Root and Rhizome of Japanese Climbing Fern, Ginseng leaf, wild Rough Melic, wild Vitex negundo L., Morus alba L., green tea, wild auricularia, corn silk, and dandelion root), the patent transforms a complex multi-herbal formulation into a standardized preparation with reproducible efficacy and minimal adverse reactions, making the complexity manageable through parameter specification.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
