Radar-based non-contact health monitoring technology (RBNHMT) has emerged as a transformative paradigm in continuous health sensing, enabling non-invasive and continuous monitoring of physiological parameters and behavioral patterns by transmitting electromagnetic waves, analyzing the reflected signals, and detecting subtle bodily movements—ranging from millimeter-scale chest wall displacements due to respiration to micro-scale vibrations associated with cardiac activity—ultimately transforming them into quantifiable health data. Distinguished by its non-contact operation, inherent privacy preservation, and adaptability to diverse scenarios, RBNHMT exhibits stronger resistance to environmental interference than conventional contact-based monitoring, and has solidified its position as a prominent and dynamic research focus in the field of non-contact health monitoring. Currently, significant and multifaceted progress has been made across several key areas. In human activity recognition (HAR), systems leveraging micro-Doppler signatures or point cloud sequences achieve high-precision detection of gait, gestures, and fall events, with state-of-the-art deep learning-based models achieving accuracy rates exceeding 99% in controlled experimental settings. For vital sign and sleep monitoring, it not only tracks respiratory and heart rates continuously but also extracts clinically relevant metrics such as heart rate variability (HRV) for autonomic nervous system assessment and estimates blood pressure through indirect methods like pulse transit time analysis, while maintaining robustness in dynamic settings through advanced motion compensation algorithms. In sleep monitoring, it further enables sleep posture classification and apnea event detection. In emotion and stress recognition, it provides a non-intrusive approach for psychological assessment by analyzing autonomic-response physiological signal patterns or behavioral features. Furthermore, its applications in auxiliary medical diagnosis have expanded to promising interdisciplinary areas such as non-contact heart sound auscultation, radar-based screening for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and emerging research into breast cancer detection using microwave and millimeter-wave imaging techniques. However, several challenges impede its practical deployment. Signal quality is significantly compromised by multipath interference in complex indoor environments and clutter from static objects, and by motion artifacts in dynamic scenarios where gross body movements obscure the subtle physiological signals. Algorithmically, separating signals from multiple targets in close proximity and calibrating for substantial individual physiological differences, such as body habitus, baseline vital signs, remain difficult and limit generalizability. Hardware design also faces the challenge of balancing power consumption, cost, integration, and performance, often requiring trade-offs that constrain miniaturization, battery life, or measurement sensitivity. Future advancement, therefore, requires collaborative and targeted innovation across multiple dimensions. Algorithmically, developing adaptive signal processing models based on emerging paradigms such as few-shot learning (for user-specific calibration with minimal data) and reinforcement learning (for dynamic noise suppression) is essential. At the hardware level, highly integrated radar SoCs with embedded processing capabilities and advanced packaging technologies are crucial for achieving the dual goals of device miniaturization and cost reduction without sacrificing performance. At the system level, fusing radar data with complementary modalities such as infrared and acoustic sensing can create a synergistic, multi-modal framework that significantly enhances perceptual robustness and reliability in complex, real-world environments. This review provides a comprehensive synthesis that systematically summarizes the relevant theoretical foundations and application progress, and offers an in-depth analysis of the current technical bottlenecks. It aims to provide a clear development path and a foundational academic reference for the in-depth integration and practical application of RBNHMT in critical scenarios including rehabilitation engineering, smart elderly care, in-vehicle health monitoring, and beyond, thereby offering innovative technical support for the vision of universal, proactive, and personalized health management.

In this study,a sensitive lateral flow immunoassay(LFIA)platform based on carbon dots-mesoporous silica nanocomposite(CD-MSNs)fluorescent probes was constructed for high-performance detection of inflammatory marker interleukin-6(IL-6).Green fluorescent carbon dots(CDs)were prepared by hydrothermal method with 3,9-perylenic acid and 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane(APTES)as raw materials,and highly fluorescent CD-MSNs composites were then constructed by encapsulating the prepared CDs in mesoporous silica nanoparticles(MSNs).Fluorescent probes were prepared by covalent coupling of CD-MSNs with IL-6 antibody.Fluorescent immunochromatographic test strips were constructed by spraying IL-6 capture antibody and goat anti-mouse IgG on nitrocellulose membrane as detection line(T-line)and quality control line(C-line),respectively.The fluorescence immunoassay analyzer was used to quantitatively detect the fluorescence intensity of T-line,and the experimental results showed that the LFIA platform based on this probe had a good linear relationship in IL-6 concentration range of 102-106 pg/mL,and the detection limit was 64 pg/mL,which was two orders of magnitude more sensitive than that of the traditional colloidal gold test strips.This method effectively solved the issue of insufficient sensitivity of traditional LFIA technique,and provided a rapid and highly sensitive detection method for early diagnosis of inflammatory diseases.

OBJECTIVE: The study aim was to investigate the effects of exposure to multiple environmental organic pollutants on cardiopulmonary health with a focus on the potential mediating role of oxidative stress. METHODS: A repeated-measures randomized crossover study involving healthy college students in Beijing was conducted. Biological samples, including morning urine and venous blood, were collected to measure concentrations of 29 typical organic pollutants, including hydroxy polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (OH-PAHs), bisphenol A and its substitutes, phthalates and their metabolites, parabens, and five biomarkers of oxidative stress. Health assessments included blood pressure measurements and lung function indicators. RESULTS: Urinary concentrations of 2-hydroxyphenanthrene (2-OH-PHE) ( β = 4.35% [95% confidence interval ( CI): 0.85%, 7.97%]), 3-hydroxyphenanthrene ( β = 3.44% [95% CI: 0.19%, 6.79%]), and 4-hydroxyphenanthrene (4-OH-PHE) ( β = 5.78% [95% CI: 1.27%, 10.5%]) were significantly and positively associated with systolic blood pressure. Exposures to 1-hydroxypyrene (1-OH-PYR) ( β = 3.05% [95% CI: -4.66%, -1.41%]), 2-OH-PHE ( β = 2.68% [95% CI: -4%, -1.34%]), and 4-OH-PHE ( β = 3% [95% CI: -4.68%, -1.29%]) were negatively associated with the ratio of forced expiratory volume in the first second to forced vital capacity. These findings highlight the adverse effects of exposure to multiple pollutants on cardiopulmonary health. Biomarkers of oxidative stress, including 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine and extracellular superoxide dismutase, mediated the effects of multiple OH-PAHs on blood pressure and lung function. CONCLUSION Exposure to multiple organic pollutants can adversely affect cardiopulmonary health. Oxidative stress is a key mediator of the effects of OH-PAHs on blood pressure and lung function.

This paper reports a case of hepatoblastoma that is inclined to misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis. The patient, a 6-month-old male, was admitted to Dermatology Department of Children’s Hospital of Nanjing Medical University and Beijing Children’s Hospital successively, because of a erythema on the neck for 6 months and a mass in the neck for 3 months. Abdominal ultrasonography and CT indicated the possibility of hepatic hemangioma, but further examination of alpha fetoprote and other indicators suggested hepatic malignant tumor. Therefore, surgery was performed to remove the liver mass, and postoperative pathology revealed hepatoblastoma. Postoperative chemotherapy was combined, and follow-up was conducted six months after the end of chemotherapy, with no recurrence of the disease. This article summarized the diagnosis and treatment process of this case and combined with literature review to provide experience for clinicians in the diagnosis and treatment of relevant cases.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of using a single Kocher-Langenbeck approach to improve anterior column screw fixation for the treatment of transverse + posterior wall acetabular fractures.Method:A retrospective analysis was conducted of the data of 21 patients who had been treated with a single Kocher-Langenbeck approach to improve anterior column screw fixation for transverse + posterior wall acetabular fractures at Department of Orthopaedics, Weifang People's Hospital from May 2021 to May 2023. There were 11 males and 10 females with an age of (51.3±15.5) years. The time from injury to surgery was (10.4±3.6) days. The anterior column screw fixation was improved as follows: screws were implanted 1 to 2 cm in front of the apex of the great notch of the external iliac plate of the pelvis to penetrate out at the upper branch root of the pubic ramus, with the whole screw fully located within the bony channel. Such indexes were recorded as surgical time, intraoperative blood loss, intraoperative fluoroscopy frequency for improved placement of anterior column screws, fracture healing time, incidence of complications, and fracture reduction and hip joint function at the last follow-up.Results:For this cohort, surgical time was (120.9±40.7) minutes, intraoperative blood loss (330.2±65.9) mL, and intraoperative fluoroscopy frequency for improved placement of anterior column screws (6.2±2.3) times. The 21 patients were followed up for (21.5±5.9) months. All fractures achieved bony union after (3.2±1.1) months. Incision fat liquefaction occurred in 1 patient after surgery and symptoms of sciatic nerve injury were observed in 2 patients. Follow-ups observed no such complications as loosening or breakage of internal fixators. According to the Matta scoring criteria, the quality of fracture reduction at the last follow-up was evaluated as anatomical reduction in 15 cases, as satisfactory reduction in 4 cases, as acceptable reduction in 2 cases, giving a satisfaction rate of 90.5% (19/21). According to the improved Merle d'Aubigné & Poster scoring criteria, hip function was evaluated as excellent in 16 cases, as good in 2 cases, and as fair in 3 cases, giving an excellent and good rate of 85.7% (18/21).Conclusion:It is effective to use a single Kocher-Langenbeck approach to improve anterior column screw fixation for the treatment of transverse + posterior wall acetabular fractures, showing advantages of reduced surgical time and intraoperative bleeding.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of laparoscopic versus open hepatectomy for intrahepatic bile duct stones based on propensity score matching. Methods:This study used a case-control design to retrospectively analyze 163 patients with intrahepatic bile duct stones who were treated at The Second Hospital of Anhui Medical University between February 2014 and February 2024. Based on the surgical approach, the patients were divided into two groups: the laparoscopic hepatectomy group ( n = 72) and the open hepatectomy group ( n = 91). Using 1:1 PSM, two groups with similar baseline clinical characteristics were created to compare perioperative outcomes, stone residual rates, and recurrence rates. Results:After PSM, a total of 52 matched pairs were successfully obtained. Compared with the laparoscopic hepatectomy group, the open hepatectomy group demonstrated a significantly shorter operative time [233.00 (180.00, 315.00) minutes vs. 313.00 (222.25, 405.75) minutes, Z = 3.41, P = 0.01]. However, no statistically significant differences were observed between the open hepatectomy and laparoscopic hepatectomy groups in terms of pre- to postoperative hemoglobin change [(22.69 ± 14.27) g/L vs. (20.63 ± 14.36) g/L, t = 0.73, P = 0.465], postoperative bile leakage [5.77% (3/52) vs. 11.54% (6/52), χ2 = 1.10, P = 0.25], hypoalbuminemia [82.69% (43/52) vs. 84.62% (44/52), χ2 = 0.07, P = 0.791], pulmonary infection [28.85% (15/52) vs. 40.38% (21/52), χ2 = 1.53, P = 0.216], surgical site infection [5.77% (3/52) vs. 1.92% (1/52), χ2 = 1.04, P = 0.308], intra-abdominal infection [1.92% (1/52) vs. 5.77% (3/52), χ2 = 1.04, P = 0.308], postoperative drainage tube removal time [8.00 (6.00, 11.75) days vs. 8.00 (6.25, 10.00) days, t = 0.05, P = 0.958], postoperative hospital stay [8.00 (9.00, 15.00) days vs. 9.00 (7.00, 12.50) days, t = -1.22, P = 0.222], residual stone rate [11.54% (6/52) vs. 9.62% (5/52), χ2 = 0.10, P = 0.750], and stone recurrence rate [13.46% (7/52) vs. 3.85% (2/52), χ2 = 3.04, P = 0.081]. All differences were statistically significant (all P > 0.05). Conclusions:Laparoscopic hepatectomy and open hepatectomy have comparable efficacy in the treatment of intrahepatic bile duct stones.
