This paper discussed the treatment of chronic cough of phlegm-dampness type based on the theory of “removing the earth stagnation”. It is believed that stagnation of qi in the middle energizer caused malfunction of water metabolism in the human body， which is the key pathogenetic mechanism leading to phlegm-dampness cough. Pathogenesis like cold and dampness attacking the spleen， dampness-heat obstruction， weakness of the middle energizer， failure to ascend clear yang， and internal blazing of yin fire may lead to “earth stagnation”， which triggered phlegm-dampness cough. The treatment advocated “removing the stagnation” to improve qi transformation in the middle energizer， eliminate stagnation， and use different treatment methods such as warming the middle， circulating qi， transforming phlegm and dampness based on different disease cause and mechanism to calm cough. As for prescriptions， Jiangling Banxia Decoction （姜苓半夏汤） could be used for cold-dampness syndrome， Banxia Xiexin Decoction （半夏泻心汤） plus Xiangsu Powder （香苏散） used for damp-heat syndrome， and Buzhong Yiqi Decoction （补中益气汤）， Tiaozhong Yiqi Decoction （调中益气汤）， Shengyang Yiwei Decoction （升阳益胃汤） and Bupiwei Xieyinhuo Shengyang Decoction （补脾胃泻阴火升阳汤） could be selected for spleen-stomach weakness syndrome according to different characteristics and pathogenesis.

Objective:To investigate the influence of changes in the cognitive load of anesthesia residents on the teaching effectiveness of high-fidelity scenario simulation.Methods:Eighty-seven anesthesia residents in a grade-A tertiary hospital from February to November 2022 were divided into groups A, B, and C according to the random number method. Three cases were selected from the anesthesia crisis resource teaching case library for high-fidelity simulation training for the three groups, respectively, using the crossover design to control the order of the cases. Each round of training consisted of pre-training instruction, simulation teaching, and post-training summarization and analysis. After three rounds of simulation teaching, cognitive load, anxiety status, test scores, and non-technical skills were evaluated for all the study participants. SPSS 20.0 was used to perform analysis of variance with repeated measures and Pearson's correlation analysis.Results:All the three groups showed significantly higher cognitive load and anxiety scores during the first-round simulation training than during the second-round and third-round simulation trianing. The test scores were significantly lower in the first round [(87.07±5.66), (88.38±5.41), (89.07±6.17)] than in the second round [(95.69±2.29), (96.10±2.08), (96.07±2.60)] and the third round [(96.34±1.45), (96.38±1.50), (96.17±1.73); all P<0.05]. The non-technical skill scores were also significantly lower in the first round [(37.24±7.58), (38.69±7.27), (39.24±8.74)] than in the second round [(46.17±5.55), (47.07±5.59), (47.59±6.74)] and the third round [(47.17±5.21), (48.48±5.38), (48.24±6.83); all P<0.05]. For simulations with the same cases, the trainees showed significantly higher cognitive load and anxiety scores and significantly lower test scores and non-technical skill scores in the first round than in the second and third rounds ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Anesthesia residents have higher levels of cognitive load and anxiety in the first scenario simulation training, which can reduce learning outcomes, and repeated simulation training can reduce trainees' cognitive load and anxiety.

Objective:To analyze the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection in children in Jiangsu Province from 2014 to 2023.Methods:The acute respiratory infection cases in children aged 0-14 years were selected from outpatient/emergency or inpatient departments in 2 surveillance sentinel hospitals, respectively, in Nanjing, Suzhou and Taizhou of Jiangsu from 1 July 2014 to 31 December 2023, and RSV nucleic acid test was conducted and the intensity of the RSV infection was accessed by WHO influenza epidemiological threshold method, and case information and clinical data were collected. χ2 test was used to compare the differences between groups, and the Bonferroni method was used for pairwise comparisons between groups. Results:In 4 946 cases of acute respiratory infections, the RSV positive rate was 8.21% (406/4 946), and the age M( Q1, Q3) of the cases was 1 (0, 3) years. The RSV positive rate was 10.92% (258/2 362) during 2014-2019 and 6.06% (118/1 948) during 2019-2023, the difference was significant ( χ2=31.74, P<0.001). RSV infection mainly occurred from October to March during 2014-2019, with the incidence peak in December and moderate or higher intensity. The seasonality of RSV infection was not obvious during 2019-2023, with low intensity. The RSV positive rate was highest in children in age group 0- years (17.85%, 151/846), and the positive rate declined gradually with age ( χ2=184.51, P<0.001). The RSV positive rate was higher in inpatient cases (9.84%, 244/2 480) than in outpatient/emergency cases (6.57%, 162/2 466) ( χ2=17.54, P<0.001). In the 155 RSV infection cases with complete clinical data, the clinical symptoms mainly included cough (99.35%, 154/155), fever (55.48%, 86/155), and shortness of breath (45.16%, 70/155). In the cases aged <6 months, the proportion of those with fever was low, but the proportion of those with shortness of breath, transferred to intensive care units, and receiving oxygen therapy were higher (all P<0.05). Children aged <6 months and those with underlying diseases were more likely to have severe RSV infection (all P<0.05). Conclusions:RSV infection in children in Jiangsu Province showed seasonal prevalence in winter from 2014 to 2019. Since 2020, the seasonal characteristics of the epidemic have changed, the epidemic period has been dispersed and the epidemic intensity has decreased. Infants <1 year old were at high risk for RSV infection, and those <6 months old and with underlying diseases might have severe infection.

Objective:To understand the relationship between the RNA shedding time of SARS-CoV-2 infected persons and the single nucleotide mutation of the virus, the population of infected persons, underlying diseases and other factors, so as to provide more clues for the study of SARS-CoV-2 infection dynamics.Methods:The data of epidemiology, clinical manifestations, and underlying diseases of infected persons in a cluster epidemic of COVID-19 in Jiangsu province from July to September 2021 were collected. Nasopharyngeal swab samples of cases were collected, and the whole genome of the virus was sequenced by second-generation sequencing technology. The online analysis platform was used to judge the virus type and analyze the mutation site, and Cox proportional risk model was used to analyze the relationship between the RNA shedding time of SARS-CoV-2 and various research factors.Results:There were 350 persons who finally obtained the whole genome sequence of the virus in this COVID-19 outbreak, of which 60.3% were female, the median age was 49 years old (interquartile range, IQR: 37-65 years old)), and the median time of virus shedding was 33 days ( IQR, 26-44 days). The whole-genome sequencing analysis showed that compared with the Wuhan reference strain sequence, the infected persons’ sequence had 34~41 nucleotide mutation sites, belonging to VOC/Delta variant (B.1.617.2 evolutionary branch), and C346T, C1060T, T2803C, T7513C, A29681C were the main single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of this epidemic. Cox regression analysis showed that age, underlying disease, clinical classification, vaccination, SNP T2803C and T7513C had an impact on the RNA shedding time of SARS-CoV-2. The adjusted multivariate Cox regression result showed that age [ HR=0.73, 95% CI (0.55, 0.95)] and T7513C [ HR=0.37, 95% CI (0.18, 0.77)] were still the risk factors for the extension of SARS-CoV-2 RNA shedding time. Conclusions:This study analyzed the effects of the individual factors and viral single nucleotide variations on the time of viral RNA shedding. Those who were older, suffered from hypertension, had more severe clinical symptoms, were not vaccinated or incompletely vaccinated, and had T7513C mutation in the infected virus, had a risk of a long RNA shedding time of SARS-CoV-2, which should be given special attention and follow-up after rehabilitation.
