  • Publication number: 20190247353
    Abstract: Provide is a medicinal agent having a strain-selective antibacterial activity for acne bacteria which are indigenous bacteria in the human skin, namely having a stronger bactericidal or growth suppressing activity on an acne bacterium strain enriched in an acne patient group rather than on an acne bacterium strain enriched in a healthy subject group. An acne strain-selective antibacterial agent, comprising at least one fatty acid selected from the group consisting of saturated fatty acids having 14 to 20 carbon atoms (C14:0 to C20:0) and a monounsaturated fatty acid having 18 carbon atoms (C18:1) in a free form or a salt form, or an ester thereof.

  • Publication number: 20170224218
    Abstract: A biological information detecting device or the like in which waterproof performance or the like is improved by a simple structure. The device includes a sensor unit which detects biological information of a test body, and a case portion in which the sensor unit is disposed. The case portion is provided with a light transmitting portion including a detection window which transmits light incident on the sensor unit, and a light blocking portion blocking light from being incident on an inner portion of the case portion. In a case where a direction towards the sensor unit from the test body at the time of mounting the biological information detecting device is set to a first direction, a joining portion between the light transmitting portion and the light blocking portion protrudes or is dented along a direction intersecting with the first direction.

  • Patent number: 9445733
    Abstract: An electronic device is an electronic device that measures biological information. The electronic device includes a biological-information sensor section configured to measure the biological information and an armor case configured to house the biological-information sensor section. The armor case includes a case main body section and a rear lid section. One surface of the case main body section is integrally molded with a windshield and the other surface of the case main body section is formed of a transparent member in which an opening section is formed. The rear lid section is attached to the case main body section to close the opening section and at least a part of the rear lid section is formed of a transparent member.

  • Publication number: 20150105671
    Abstract: A biological information measurement device includes a device main body and a band configured to secure the device to a body part of a user. The device main body contacts the user's skin to thereby acquire biological information about the user, and presents a non-rectangular parallelogram surface in plan view. The parallelogram surface has two longitudinal edges disposed along a longitudinal direction, and two oblique edges disposed along an oblique direction that is transverse to, but not perpendicular to, the longitudinal direction. The band is attached to the oblique edges of the device main body, and generally extends in the longitudinal direction.
