During long-duration space missions,astronauts face health challenges such as bone density loss,muscle atrophy,cardiovascular dysfunction,immune function suppression caused by microgravity,as well as mental health issues in a confined environment.There is an urgent need for real-time,continuous,and multi-dimensional health monitoring technologies to safeguard the health and safety of astronauts.This paper systematically reviews the technical requirements and current development status of astronaut on-orbit health monitoring,with a focus on analyzing breakthroughs in technologies such as dynamic electrocardiography,non-invasive blood pressure assessment,flexible electronic skin,and molecular probe spectroscopy.It also elaborates on how the integration of artificial intelligence and bionics technologies is propelling the monitoring system towards intelligence and autonomy,providing a reference for the medical support of astronauts during long-duration spaceflight missions.

Objective To explore the expression and significance of p21WAF1 and p53 in HCC. Methods Immunohistochemical method (IHC) was used to localize and semi-quantitate the proteins of p21WAF1 and p53 and to observe the relationship between the expression of p21WAF1 and the different histopathologic characters in 38 patients of HCC and their peri-cancer tissue as well as 5 normal liver tissue. Results Of all 38 cases, both p21WAF1 and p53 expression were significantly higher in tumor than that in corresponding non-tumors liver tissue; 14 (36.8 %) of 38 cases showed p21WAF1 positive staining, 28 cases (73.7 %) were p53 positive, p21WAF1+/p53+ or p21WAF1-/p53- were observed in 18, while 20 cases showed p53+/p21WAF1- or p53-/p21WAF1+. p21WAF1+ was seen in 1 of 38 (2.6 %) corresponding non-cancerous tissue and 2 of 5 normal liver tissue. p53 protein was not detected neither in the non-tumorous tissue nor in normal liver. No significant association was found between the expressions of p21WAF1 and p53(P>0.05) in HCC. Their was no significant correlation between p21WAF1 or p53 expression and the different histopathologic characters of tumor (differentiating grades, intrahepatic metastasis and/or cancerous thrombi within portal veins). Conclusion Both p21WAF1 and p53 proteins are over expressed in HCC than that in corresponding non-tumorous liver tissue, but there is no relationship between them. Both p53-independent and p53-dependent mechanism may play a role in regulating p21WAF1 expression in HCC. p21WAF1 immunostaining cannot be used to assess the status of p53 in any given cell or tissue.
