Objective:
To investigate the status of heat illness, knowledge awareness and adaptive behaviors of heat wave knowledge among food delivery riders, so as to provide a basis for optimizing heat wave response measures for food delivery riders.
Methods:
In November 2022, food delivery riders from a large food delivery platform in Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province were selected as survey subjects using a cluster sampling method. A self-designed electronic questionnaire was used to select demographic information, work status, lifestyle behaviors and disease history, heat illness status, knowledge awareness and adaptive behaviors of heatwave.
Results:
A total of 911 questionnaires were distributed, and 830 valid questionnaires were recovered, resulting in a valid response rate of 91.11%. Among the respondents, 796 (95.90%) were male, and 818 (98.55%) worked full-time. The mean age was (27.75±8.00) years. A total of 470 respondents (56.63%) had a work tenure of less than 1 year. The primary working hours were 8-<12 hours, with 504 people accounting for 60.72%. There were 108 cases of heatstroke, with an occurrence rate of 13.01%. And 286 people reported heat-related symptoms, with an occurrence rate of 34.46%. The overall awareness rate of heat wave knowledge was 73.22%, while the awareness rate of heat warning signal classification was relatively low at 9.04%. The heat wave cognition score was (5.86±1.31) points. There were statistically significant differences in heat wave cognition scores among food delivery riders of different ages, educational levels, family annual income, work tenures, and work durations (all P<0.05). Regarding positive adaptive behaviors, the number of riders paying attention to weather forecasts and actively learning about preventive measures was higher (734 people each, accounting for 88.43%). Regarding negative adaptive behaviors, the number of riders who often drank ice-cold beverages was higher (509 people, accounting for 61.33%). The heat wave adaptive behavior score was (6.88±1.77) points. There were statistically significant differences in adaptive behavior scores among riders with different educational levels, family annual income, work tenures, and smoking frequency (all P<0.05).
Conclusions
The occurrence rates of heatstroke and heat-related symptoms among food delivery riders are relatively high. The knowledge awareness and adaptive behaviors regarding heat wave are at a moderate level. It is suggested to strengthen health education, reinforce risk cognition of heat wave, and promote positive adaptive behaviors among food delivery riders.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of zinc finger E-box binding homeobox 1 (ZEB1) on the proliferation, migration, and invasion of lung adenocarcinoma H322 cells, as well as its underlying molecular mechanisms. MethodsThe gene expression characteristics of the transcription factor ZEB1 in lung adenocarcinoma were analyzed using data from the GEO and TCGA public databases. RT-qPCR and Western blot were employed to measure mRNA and protein expression levels of ZEB1 in lung adenocarcinoma cell lines (H322, A549, 95-D) and normal human bronchial epithelial cells (BEAS-2B). Lentiviral transduction was utilized to establish stable ZEB1-overexpressing (Oe-ZEB1) and vector control (Oe-NC) H322 cell lines. Cell proliferation was assessed using CCK-8, colony formation, and EdU assays, while apoptosis was evaluated by Hoechst33258/PI double staining. Wound healing and Transwell assays were performed to examine cell migration and invasion capabilities. Cell cycle distribution was determined by flow cytometry, and Western blot was used to analyze protein expression changes in relevant signaling pathways. ResultsThe findings from GEO and TCGA indicated that ZEB1 expression in lung adenocarcinoma varied with tumor malignancy grade. RT-qPCR and Western blot analyses revealed significantly higher ZEB1 expression in lung adenocarcinoma cell lines compared to BEAS-2B cells (P0.05). Results from the CCK-8, colony formation, EdU, wound healing, and Transwell assays demonstrated that, compared with the un-transfected control (Control) group, Oe-ZEB1 H322 cells exhibited enhanced proliferation, migration, and invasion capabilities (P0.05). Hoechst33258/PI double staining and flow cytometry analyses showed that, relative to the Control group, apoptosis was reduced in Oe-ZEB1 H322 cells (P0.05). Additionally, a decreased proportion of cells in the G1 phase and an increased proportion in the S phase were observed in Oe-ZEB1 cells, indicating accelerated cell cycle progression. Western blot analysis further revealed that, compared with the Control group, Oe-ZEB1 H322 cells exhibited upregulated expression of N-cadherin, mutant p53 (mutp53), and Cyclin D1 (P0.05), while expression levels of E-cadherin, murine double minute 2 (MDM2), and p21 were downregulated (P0.05). ConclusionOverexpression of ZEB1 promotes the proliferation, migration, and invasion of lung adenocarcinoma H322 cells and may facilitate cell cycle progression by modulating the MDM2/mutp53/p21 signaling pathway, thereby promoting the transition of cells from the G0/G1 phase to the S phase.

As an innovative form of combining traditional aromatherapy with modern nasal medicine delivery technology, "olfactory administration of Chinese medicine" carries the theoretical essence of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), which is "moving and channeling Qi and fragrance, dredging and awakening the mind". Based on the systematic records of olfactory therapies in ancient books in emergency care, disorders of consciousness, lung system, and gynecological diseases, this paper examines the historical evolution of its clinical application, and elucidates the profound historical basis and theoretical feasibility of "olfactory administration of Chinese medicine" as a new form. Combined with the innovation and precise application of modern Chinese medicine olfactory agents in multi-system diseases such as nervous, respiratory, and cardiovascular diseases, this paper further analyzes the multi-dimensional mechanism of olfactory receptor pathway, olfactory brain pathway, nasal mucosal blood vessels, and lymphatic channels, and demonstrates its advantages of rapid onset, targeted brain entry, and systemic regulation. Under the background of continuous growth in the demand for external TCM treatment, continuous breakthroughs in the technology of nasal dosage forms, and increasingly accurate drug delivery paths, Chinese medicine olfactory agents have shown significant practical applicability and development potential. This study aims to provide theoretical support and practical direction for the system construction of this form.

Rice (Oryza sativa L.), as a thermophilic crop, is highly susceptible to cold stress during its growth process. Chilling injury at the plumule stage and seedling stage often affects the morphological development and leads to yield reduction of rice. The exploration and utilization of cold tolerance genes are among the most direct and effective approaches to address cold stress in rice. To identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs) associated with cold tolerance at plumule and seedling stages, in this study, we measured the seedling rates and survived seedling rates of the indica rice cultivar 'HZ', the japonica cultivar 'Nekken2', and their 120 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) under cold stress. A previously constructed high-density genetic linkage map was used for the mapping of the QTLs conferring cold tolerance at the plumule and seedling stages. A total of 4 QTLs for plumule-stage cold tolerance and 9 QTLs for seedling-stage cold tolerance were detected, with the maximum limit of detection reaching 5.20. Notably, a genetically overlapping QTL for both plumule and seedling stages was identified on chromosome 8, spanning a physical interval of 24 432 953-25 295 129 bp. Candidate genes within the detected QTL intervals were screened, and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was conducted to analyze the gene expression during the plumule and seedling stages. The results revealed that LOC_Os03g06570, LOC_Os03g07100, LOC_Os06g08280, LOC_Os08g38440, LOC_Os08g39100, and LOC_Os08g39540 exhibited significantly differential expression between the parental lines. These genes were either significantly downregulated or upregulated under cold stress. Among them, the first three gene (LOC_Os03g06570, LOC_Os03g07100, and LOC_Os06g08280) were hypothesized to be key candidates regulating the cold tolerance of rice seedlings, while the latter three genes (LOC_Os08g38440, LOC_Os08g39100, and LOC_Os08g39540) were identified as comprehensive regulators of cold tolerance during both plumule and seedling stages. These findings lay a foundation for the fine mapping and cloning of cold tolerance genes at the plumule and seedling stages, providing valuable insights for breeding cold-tolerant rice varieties.

Objective:To explore the latent categories and influencing factors of health activation among community-dwelling older adults with chronic diseases.Methods:Older patients with chronic diseases attending three community health centers in Hefei City from August to December 2023 were selected for the study using the convenience sampling method. The survey utilized the General Information Questionnaire, Consumer Health Activation Index, Chinese version of the Life-Space Assessment, Social Support Rating Scale, and Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire. Mplus 8.3 software was applied for latent profile analysis to examine patients' health activation, and unordered multicategory Logistic regression was used to explore the factors influencing different categories of health activation.Results:A total of 382 questionnaires were distributed, and 368 valid questionnaires were recovered, with a valid recovery rate of 96.34%. Three latent categories of health activation existed in community-dwelling older adults with chronic diseases, which were named as low health activation-high efficiency-coping inability group (16.85%, 62/368) , medium health activation group (27.99%, 103/368) , and high activation perception-action group (55.16%, 203/368) . Multicategory logistic regression analysis indicated that place of residence, age, self-rated health status, life space, social support, and active coping strategies were significant factors influencing the health activation of different latent categories of community-dwelling older adults with chronic diseases (all P<0.05) . Conclusions:The health activation of community-dwelling older adults with chronic diseases can be classified into three latent categories. Primary healthcare providers should identify the characteristics of patients in different categories and implement targeted nursing interventions to enhance their health activation levels.
