Suboptimal treatment of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) provides poor survival rate. The poor bioavailability, resistance to cetuximab (Cet), and the instability of small interfering RNA (siRNA) limit their efficacy in LSCC therapy. The present study has been aimed to develop a Cet and focal adhesion kinase (FAK) siRNA (siFAK) co-delivery nanosystem. Zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8), with its large specific surface area and pH-responsive properties, is an ideal delivery carrier allowing controlled drug release in the acidic tumor microenvironment. Therefore, Cet was loaded onto ZIF-8 and encapsulated in a TU177 cell membrane (TCM) after the electrostatic adsorption of siFAK. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), zeta potential, X-ray diffraction, and particle size analyses were deployed to characterize Cet/siFAK@ZIF-8@TCM. TU177 cells and subcutaneously transplanted tumor-bearing nude mice were used to evaluate the intracellular uptake, cytotoxicity, in vivo biocompatibility, biodistribution, biosafety, pH responsiveness, and anti-LSCC efficacy of Cet/siFAK@ZIF-8@TCM. After ZIF-8@TCM were loaded with Cet and siFAK, alterations in their physical and crystal structures, particle size, and zeta potential were observed. Meanwhile, the co-delivery system increased the loading of Cet through the electrostatic adsorption of siFAK to Cet-loaded ZIF-8. The intracellular uptake of Cet/siFAK@ZIF-8@TCM also protected siFAK from degradation, effectively decreasing the messenger RNA (mRNA) and protein expression levels of FAK in LSCC cells. The ZIF-8@TCM nanosystem for co-delivery of Cet and siFAK exhibited pH-responsiveness and tumor-targeting capabilities, thereby exerting anti-LSCC effects. Co-delivery of Cet and siFAK via the pH-responsive ZIF-8@TCM system enabled the targeted release of the chemotherapeutic and gene, in turn maximizing their anti-LSCC effect while ensuring biosafety.

Objective To analyze the current occupational health literacy (OHL) level and its influencing factors among manufacturing workers in Bao'an District, Shenzhen City. Methods The front-line workers of manufacturing enterprises from seven key industries in two streets of Bao'an District were selected as the research subjects using a stratified cluster random sampling method. The Occupational Health Literacy Questionnaire of National Key Populations was used to online investigate their OHL level. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to screen the influencing factors of OHL. Results A total of 633 front-line workers of manufacturing enterprises were surveyed, and 283 had OHL, with an overall OHL level of 44.7%. The levels of literacy across different dimensions, from high to low, were basic knowledge of occupational health protection (84.5%), legal knowledge of occupational health (41.5%), health behaviors and practices (41.2%), and basic skills for occupational health protection (22.0%). The results of the multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that younger age, higher educational level, and higher personal monthly income, were related to higher OHL level among the workers (all P<0.05). Conclusion The OHL level of manufacturing workers in Bao'an District, Shenzhen City still has room for improvement. Efforts should focus on workers with low education levels, low incomes, and older ages, with targeted training in theoretical knowledge to improve the practical application of basic skills for occupational health protection, to improve their OHL.

Objective:To assess the effect of flash glucose monitoring (FGM) compared with self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) on glycemic control, residual islet function, and patient-reported outcomes in children and adolescents with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes within 1 year.Methods:133 children and adolescents with newly diagnosed T1DM in the T1D clinic of the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from January 2016 to January 2020 were divided into two groups: FGM group ( n=82) and SMBG group ( n=51). The observation indexes included hemoglobin A1c (HbA 1c), fasting and postprandial blood glucose (FBG and 2 h BG), C-peptide (FCP and 2 h CP) during the one-year follow-up, Δ CP (2 h CP-FCP), patient-reported hypoglycemia and questionnaires regarding self-management of diabetes and quality of life. Results:At 6 months, HbA 1c in 2 groups was significantly decreased (all P<0.05); at 6 to 12 months, HbA 1c in FGM group tended to be stable ( P>0.05); at 12 months, HbA 1c in SMBG group was significantly increased compared with 6 months ( P=0.001). At 12 months, HbA 1c in SMBG group was higher than that in FGM group ( P=0.001). At 12 months, FBG in FGM group was equivalent to the baseline level ( P>0.05), while FBG in SMBG group was significantly higher than the baseline level ( P=0.006). 2 h BG only decreased at the 6th and 12th month in FGM group (all P<0.05). The FCP of SMBG group was significantly decreased at 12 months ( P<0.05), and the 2 h CP, Δ CP in the two groups decreased gradually (all P<0.05). FGM group had more hypoglycemic events at 6 and 12 months (all P<0.05). At 6 months, the score of Self-Management of T1D for Adolescents (SMOD-A) in FGM group was significantly improved ( P=0.001). During the follow-up period, the quality of life score of FGM group was stable ( P>0.05), while the quality of life score of SMBG group had a downward trend ( P=0.052). Conclusions:In newly diagnosed children and adolescents with T1DM, early application of FGM for blood glucose management will help to improve HbA 1c and reduce postprandial blood glucose. In addition, the self-management ability of children with FGM was improved after 6 months.
