Human gait involves a complex mechanism of muscular skeletal coordinated operation,which is specific and can be used as the basis of identity recognitions and clinical disease diagnoses.Human gaits have wide application value in the field of disaster rescue,battlefield ambulance,counter-terrorism,security,and medical and healthcare.The traditional contact-free gait detection technology mainly depends on optical images or ultrasound,which is susceptible to light,low visibility,obstacles,etc.In recent years,with the rapidly development of bio-radar technology,the bio-radar based contact-free human gait signal detection technology has shown more advantages.It can not be affected by light,can penetrate clothing,camouflage or even walls,and can operate in all-weathe,including low visibility weather conditions such as smog,smoke and fog.In this paper,the technical principles and methods of bio-radar based contact-free human gait detection technologies were discussed,the research status was summarized,and the development trendency was prospected.

Objective To evaluate the clinical effects of intra-articular injection of autologous adipose derived stem cells (ADSCs) or ADSCs combined with hyaluronate acid (HA) for knee osteoarthritis.Methods From May 2013 to May 2015,a total of 108 patients with knee osteoarthritis (Kellgren-Lawrence grades:1-3) were recruited in the present study.The patients were randomly divided into three groups:ADSCs,HA and ADSCs+HA.All patients (36 cases in each group) were injected with the drug in the joint cavity once a week for three weeks.The methods used for evaluating the clinical manifestations and joint damage on MRI included visual analogue scale (VAS),Western Ontario and McMaster University (WOMAC) osteoarthritis index and whole-organ magnetic resonance imaging score (WORMS).Evaluations were conducted before injection and at 3,6,12,24 and 36 months after injection.Results All patients were followed up for 36 months without any dissociation.No adverse reaction was observed during the treatment and at the follow-up duration.The VAS score and WOMAC total score of the ADSCs group and the ADSCs+HA group were better than those in the HA group at each time point after injection (P＜0.05).The average VAS of the ADSCs group decreased from 4.14±1.42 at pre-injection to 2.39±1.74 at 36 months after injection.The WOMAC total score decreased from 42.86± 31.24 to 27.17±27.99.The average VAS in the ADSCs+HA group decreased from 4.25±1.13 to 2.31±1.74,and the WOMAC total score decreased from 34.92±22.62 to 21.33±21.38.However,the average VAS and WOMAC total score of the HA group at 36 months after injection were higher than those before the injection.In terms of the VAS at 3 months after injection,the ADSCs+HA group scored better than that of the ADSCs group (P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in WOMAC scores between the ADSCs and ADSCs+HA groups at each time point after injection (P＞0.05).The WORMS cartilage injury score improved in 10 patients with ADSCs after injection (P＜0.05).The subchondral bone wear score improved as well (P＜0.05).The difference of WORMS cartilage injury scores before and after injection was correlated with the difference of the WOMAC total score (r=0.790,P=0.007) and that of VAS score difference (r=0.800,P=0.005).Conclusion Autologous ADSCs and ADSCs combined with HA intra-articular injections can effectively relieve pain and improve function of patients with knee osteoarthritis for 36 months.In addition,ADSCs combined with HA injections can relieve pain more effectively within a short duration.Cartilage repair is associated with joint function improvement.

Objective:To explore the diagnostic value of motion pain induction test for early knee osteoarthritis.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted and the data came from The Project of Health Management of Knee osteoarthritis in Community in Hangzhou in 2018, and a total number of 1 816 people were included which were divided into normal group ( n=530), early group ( n=534) and middle-late group ( n=752) by not sick, sick while Kellgren-Lawrence (KL) ≤Ⅱ and sick while KL>Ⅱ starting, squatting, walking up and down stairs and doing housework were included in the test, and the statistical indicators included age, gender and pain scores (visual analogue scale, VAS). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were mapped after the correlation analysis to obtain the cut-off points and compare their values of area under the curve (AUC). The confounders which included age and gender were corrected by propensity score matching (PSM) and the balance test is consistent with P>0.05 after the PSM. The Kappa analysis was used to verify the consistency of two diagnostic methods. Results:The age of normal, early and medial-late groupwas 67.39±7.43, 67.41±9.52, 71.55±9.87. And the gender distribution of three groups was (238 male, 292 female), (209 male, 325 female), (357 male, 395 female). There was no heterogeneitybetween the normal group and early group in distribution ( P>0.05) while there was heterogeneity between the early and medial-late group ( t=-0.034, P<0.05; χ2=8.80, P<0.05). The VAS scoresof starting pain in three groups was 0.16±0.37,2.70±1.69, 3.68±2.10. The VAS scoresof squatting pain was 0.42±0.49, 2.88±1.44, 4.01±2.08. The VAS scoresof up and down stair pain was 0.47±0.50, 2.87±1.38, 3.82±1.98. The VAS scoresof housework pain was 0.14±0.35, 2.15±1.40, 3.45±2.09. The VAS scoresofmaximum pain was 0.51±0.50, 3.59±1.48, 4.68±2.01. And there was significant difference between normal and early groupin all kinds of pain ( t=-33.81; t=-37.25; t=-37.66; t=-32.07; t=-45.41; P<0.05). The difference between early and medial-late group in all type of pain was significant ( t=-8.93; t=-10.84; t=-9.56; t=-12.52; t=-10.64; P<0.05). The results were similar after adjusting for confounders except for the pain of starting ( P>0.05). The results of ROC curve between normal and early group showed the maximum pain's AUC point was 0.98 and larger than others, and its cut-off point was 1. After adjusted, the results of ROC curve between early and medial-late group showed the maximum pain's AUC point was 0.72 which was larger than others and cut-off point was 4. For the AUC of ROC curve between early and medial-late groupwas lower, Kappa-test was used, and the Kappa point of two diagnostic methods was 0.41 ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The maximum of pain score in pain dimension>1 and ≤ 4 could be preliminarily diagnosed as early KOA. It had high value in separating early KOA from normal people and approximately similar to X-ray, and the value of identifying early and mid-late KOAwas moderateas well as the moderate consistency with KL stage. Comprehensive judgment of imaging examination should be improved when conditions are available.
