Objective] To study Professor Wang Xinghua's experience in the treatment of cough. [Methods] Typical cases of cough treated by Wang Xinghua are selected for the analysis of causes, pathogenesis, treatment methods and detailed prescription. [Results] Six exogenous climatic evils, internal injury caused by excess of seven emotions, improper diet and overwork all can damage lung Qi, inducing cough. Delayed or improper treatment can lead to sub-acute types of cough, while weak constitution and deficiency of vital Qi consumed by prolonged diseases result in chronic cough. External induced acute cough mainly is excess type, while internal damage induced chronic cough is more prone to have deficient type. Syndrome differentiation based on external and internal factors, cold and heat, deficiency and excess is recommended for the treatment of cough. Those frequently used methods include dissipating wind-cold, expelling wind-heat, clearing away phlegm-heat, reinforcing earth to generate metal, removing dampness to reduce phlegm, warming Yang for resolving fluid retention, nourishing Yin to moisten dryness. Exogenic cough should be treated with expelling pathogens, assisted with tonifying vital Qi. Chronic cough resulting from disordered visceral function should be treated with tonification and conditioning, combined with expelling pathogen. [Conclusion] Professor Wang Xinghua's experience for treating cough is worth spreading for the comprehensive understanding of the pathogenesis of the disease, accurate syndrome differentiation, unique medicine application and significant treating effect.

Objective:To investigate the current situation and analyze the influencing factors of job satisfaction of infectious disease physicians in Jiangsu Province.Methods:From April to May 2021, a stratified random sampling method was used to select 10 municipal level infectious disease hospitals in Jiangsu province. An electronic questionnaire survey was conducted on the infectious disease physicians of these hospitals using an online questionnaire platform. The questionnaire mainly included the job satisfaction scale developed by Greenhaus and Wormley, and a self-designed job satisfaction influencing factor scale based on resource conservation theory. At the same time, semi-structured interviews were made with relevant insiders on such issues as salary and benefits, and career development among others. Descriptive analysis was conducted on the questionnaire data, while single factor analysis and multiple linear regression analysis were used to identify the factors that affect their job satisfaction, and the results of the interviews were studied with Colaizzi 7-step analysis.Results:A total of 457 valid questionnaires were recovered. The job satisfaction score of infectious disease physicians was (3.38±0.76). The results of univariate analysis showed significant differences in job satisfaction scores among infectious disease physicians of different ages, educational backgrounds, professional titles, and positions. The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that salary and benefits ( B=0.141, P<0.001), work environment ( B=0.128, P<0.001), leadership support ( B=0.112, P=0.014), development security ( B=0.117, P<0.001), self-efficacy ( B=0.084, P=0.045) and social support ( B=0.285, P<0.001) were both influencing factors of their job satisfaction. The interview results identified such problems as low salary, insufficient salary security, large gap in social security levels between in-staff and off-staff physicians, and insufficient career development potential. Conclusions:The job satisfaction of infectious disease physicians in Jiangsu Province was found at an average level. It is recommended that the government increase the investment in personnel expenses for infectious disease physicians, optimize the salary and benefits structure, pay attention to the career development needs of middle-aged and young physicians, and care about the social relationship needs of infectious disease physicians to improve their job satisfaction.

Objective To examine the current situation of the career plateau among anesthesiologists and analyze the impact of occupational stressors on it. Methods A questionnaire survey was conducted on the anesthesiologists. A total of 300 questionnaires were distributed and 278 questionnaires were effectively collected. Statistical analysis using SPSS 19.0 was performed to assess the status quo of career plateau among anesthesiologists. Pearson correlation analysis and stepwise regression analysis were used to analyze the influence of occupational stressors on career plateau . Results The average value of occupational stressors among anesthesiologists was (3.22±0.55), and the average value of career plateau was (3.90±0.70). Occupational interest in the occupational stressors of anesthesiologists is negatively correlated with the occupational plateau (r=-0.552, P<0.01), and career development is negatively correlated with occupational plateau (r=-0.541, P<0.01) as well. Both occupational interest and career development show a negative predictive effect on the career plateau (β=-0.359, P<0.01 andβ=-0.334, P<0.01, respectively). Conclusion Career plateau among anesthesiologists is at a medium-to-high level. Occupational interest and occupational development in occupational stressors have a negative predictive effect on occupational plateaus, so hospital managers should pay attention to them.

Objective:
This study aimed to determine the predictive performance of non-contrast CT (NCCT) signs for hemorrhagic growth after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) when stratified by onset-to-imaging time (OIT).
Materials and Methods:
1488 supratentorial ICH within 6 h of onset were consecutively recruited from six centers between January 2018 and August 2022. NCCT signs were classified according to density (hypodensities, swirl sign, black hole sign, blend sign, fluid level, and heterogeneous density) and shape (island sign, satellite sign, and irregular shape) features. Multivariable logistic regression was used to evaluate the association between NCCT signs and three types of hemorrhagic growth: hematoma expansion (HE), intraventricular hemorrhage growth (IVHG), and revised HE (RHE). The performance of the NCCT signs was evaluated using the positive predictive value (PPV) stratified by OIT.
Results:
Multivariable analysis showed that hypodensities were an independent predictor of HE (adjusted odds ratio [95% confidence interval] of 7.99 [4.87–13.40]), IVHG (3.64 [2.15–6.24]), and RHE (7.90 [4.93–12.90]). Similarly, OIT (for a 1-h increase) was an independent inverse predictor of HE (0.59 [0.52–0.66]), IVHG (0.72 [0.64–0.81]), and RHE (0.61 [0.54– 0.67]). Blend and island signs were independently associated with HE and RHE (10.60 [7.36–15.30] and 10.10 [7.10–14.60], respectively, for the blend sign and 2.75 [1.64–4.67] and 2.62 [1.60–4.30], respectively, for the island sign). Hypodensities demonstrated low PPVs of 0.41 (110/269) or lower for IVHG when stratified by OIT. When OIT was ≤ 2 h, the PPVs of hypodensities, blend sign, and island sign for RHE were 0.80 (215/269), 0.90 (142/157), and 0.83 (103/124), respectively.
Conclusion
Hypodensities, blend sign, and island sign were the best NCCT predictors of RHE when OIT was ≤ 2 h. NCCT signs may assist in earlier recognition of the risk of hemorrhagic growth and guide early intervention to prevent neurological deterioration resulting from hemorrhagic growth.
