With the advent of the refractive era of cataract surgery, postoperative residual refractive error has become a key factor affecting visual quality. The accuracy of intraocular lens(IOL)power calculation is affected by multiple factors, including ocular biological parameters, calculation formulas, and lens constants. Currently, the lens constants widely used in clinical practice are mostly based on Western populations, which have a mismatch with the ocular characteristics of the Chinese population, such as shorter axial length and steeper cornea. Therefore, the personalized optimization of the constant has become a research hotspot. This review primarily summarizes the research progress on lens constant optimization in improving the accuracy of IOL power calculation. Currently, there is no consensus on lens constant optimization methods. Single-constant formulas can be optimized through iterative methods, while multi-constant formulas require the combination of linear or nonlinear strategies. Simplified gradient descent and data-driven techniques offer new optimization pathways, but cross-validation is needed to evaluate their performance. Segmented optimization based on axial length, corneal curvature, and anterior chamber depth has shown significant effectiveness in patients with special anatomical structures, effectively reducing postoperative refractive errors in different patient groups, but limitations remain in some extreme cases. The interaction of multiple parameters significantly impacts the predictive accuracy of complex cases. While new-generation formulas integrating multiple parameters or incorporating AI algorithms have improved accuracy, constant optimization still holds value. Currently, the complex relationships between multiple parameters and intraoperative dynamic changes require further in-depth research. Future research, including targeted population optimization studies, the development of real-time monitoring technologies, and innovative IOL designs, may make achieving zero postoperative refractive error a possibility.

Objective To investigate the predictive value of Mayo adhesion probability(MAP)score for intraoperative bleeding during microchannel percutaneous nephrolithotomy(PCNL), so as to provide reference for optimizing surgical decisions.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 86 patients who underwent microchannel PCNL at our hospital during Jan.2018 and Jul. 2025.Patients were divided into two groups based on preoperative CT-derived MAP scores:MAP score<3 group(n=45)and MAP score≥3 group(n=41).Baseline characteristics, surgical parameters and outcome measures were compared between the two groups.Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify risk factors for intraoperative bleeding(defined as a postoperative hemoglobin decrease of ≥20 g/L). Results The incidence of intraoperative bleeding was significantly higher in the MAP score≥3 group than in the MAP score<3 group(43.9% vs.20.0%, P=0.017).Multivariate analysis identified MAP score ≥3(OR=3.045, 95%CI:1.125-9.547, P=0.019), use of anticoagulant medication(OR=3.016, 95%CI:1.251-9.257, P=0.020), establishment of multiple tracts(OR=5.445, 95%CI:1.798-17.578, P=0.003), and operation time ≥90 minutes(OR=5.697, 95%CI:1.890-13.632, P=0.001)as risk factors for intraoperative bleeding.The area under the curve for the MAP score in predicting intraoperative bleeding was 0.704.Conclusion The MAP score is an independent risk factor for intraoperative bleeding during microchannel PCNL.Preoperative assessment can help identify high-risk patients and provide a basis for optimizing surgical decision-making.

Objective To explore the application value of computed tomography (CT) three-dimensional reconstruction in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Methods A total of 102 patients who underwent TKA in our hospital between April 2022 and April 2025 were enrolled and divided using a random number table into a traditional group (51 cases, routine preoperative evaluation) and a study group (51 cases, CT three-dimensional reconstruction-assisted surgery). The therapeutic efficacy at 3 months postoperatively and perioperative indicators were compared between the two groups. The hip-knee-ankle (HKA) angle was measured preoperatively and at 3 months postoperatively. The Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) knee score and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) score were recorded preoperatively and at 3 and 6 months postoperatively. Complications were documented. Results The excellent/good rate in the study group (92.16%) was higher than that in the traditional group (74.51%) (P<0.05). The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative drainage volume, and hospital stay in the study group were (69.52 ± 7.11) min, (102.69 ± 8.54) mL, (167.33 ± 12.35) mL, and (10.93 ± 2.37) days, respectively, which were shorter than those in the traditional group [(78.45 ± 5.98) min, (108.36 ± 10.02) mL, (175.96 ± 14.93) mL, and (12.04 ± 1.95) days] (P<0.05). At 3 months postoperatively, the HKA angle was 178.02° ± 1.05° in the study group and 177.45° ± 1.34° in the traditional group, both were significantly improved compared with those before operation, with the study group showing better improvement (P<0.05). The HSS knee and WOMAC scores in both groups at 3 and 6 months postoperatively were improved compared with preoperative scores (P<0.05). At 3 and 6 months postoperatively, the study group showed higher HSS knee score and lower WOMAC score than the traditional group (P<0.05). The incidence of complications in the study group (3.92%) was lower than that in the traditional group (17.65%) (P<0.05). Conclusion TKA guided by CT three-dimensional reconstruction improved the excellent/good rate, optimized HKA angle and knee function, shortened operation time and hospital stay, reduced intraoperative blood loss and postoperative drainage volume, and decreased the incidence of complications.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the impact of hysteroscopic examination and subsequent management on reproductive outcomes in embryo transfer cycles among patients undergoing preimplantation genetic testing (PGT). MethodsThis retrospective analysis included 261 transfer cycles from in vitro fertilization (IVF) and 267 transfer cycles from PGT. Among IVF cycles, 134 underwent hysteroscopy prior to embryo transfer (IVF-H group), while 127 did not (IVF-N group). Among PGT cycles, 140 received hysteroscopy before transfer (PGT-H group), and 127 did not (PGT-N group). We compared general characteristics and pregnancy outcomes between the IVF-H and IVF-N groups, as well as between the PGT-H and PGT-N groups. ResultsNo significant differences were observed in maternal age, body mass index, or baseline hormone profiles between the IVF-H and IVF-N groups, nor between the PGT-H and PGT-N groups. The IVF-H group showed higher rates of biochemical pregnancy, clinical pregnancy, and live birth, along with a lower early miscarriage rate, compared with the IVF-N group. However, these differences did not reach statistical significance (P>0.05). In the PGT cohort, the PGT-H group had significantly higher biochemical and clinical pregnancy rates than the PGT-N group (P<0.05). Early miscarriage rates were comparable between the PGT-H and PGT-N groups (P>0.05). Although the live birth rate was higher in the PGT-H group than in the PGT-N group, the difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05). ConclusionHysteroscopic evaluation before embryo transfer may be associated with improved clinical pregnancy and live birth rates. This benefit appears more pronounced in patients undergoing PGT compared with those receiving conventional IVF treatment.

ObjectiveTo understand the level of medical narrative competence among hospice care practitioners in Shanxi Province, explore its influencing factors, and provide references for carrying out targeted training and improving the medical narrative competence of the medical and nursing staff. MethodsUsing convenience sampling, a total of 102 medical and nursing staff from hospitals providing hospice care in Shanxi Province were recruited as the research subjects. Questionnaire surveys were conducted with the Self-Designed General Information Questionnaire and the Self-Rating Scale for Medical Narrative Competence as the research tools. Univariate analysis and multiple linear regression analysis were adopted to explore the level of medical narrative competence and its influencing factors among hospice care practitioners in Shanxi Province. ResultsThe total score of medical narrative competence among hospice care practitioners in Shanxi Province was (158.19±19.69). The mean scores of all dimensions were ranked from the lowest to the highest as attention and listening, understanding and response, and reflection and representation. Univariate analysis demonstrated that working years in hospice care, daily communication frequency with patients, weekly communication duration, degree of colleague care, professional recognition, job satisfaction, and familiarity with narrative medicine constituted the influencing factors for the level of medical narrative competence among hospice care practitioners (all P<0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that working years in hospice care, degree of colleague care, and familiarity with narrative medicine had statistically significant effects on the medical narrative competence of hospice care practitioners (all P<0.05). ConclusionAdministrators of hospice care should prioritize medical and nursing staff who lack familiarity with narrative medicine, have low degrees of colleague care, experience short working years, and possess low professional recognition and job satisfaction with hospice care work. Targeted training should be strengthened for these individuals to improve their medical narrative competence level, thereby enhancing the quality of hospice care services.

Serine protease inhibitor Kazal-type (SPINK) is a skin keratinizing protease inhibitor, which was initially found in animal serum and is widely present in plants, animals, bacteria, and viruses, and they act as key regulators of skin keratinizing proteases and are involved in the regulation of keratinocyte proliferation and inflammation, primarily through the inhibition of deregulated tissue kinin-releasing enzymes (KLKs) in skin response. This process plays a crucial role in alleviating various skin problems caused by hyperkeratinization and inflammation, and can greatly improve the overall condition of the skin. Specifically, the different members of the SPINK family, such as SPINK5, SPINK6, SPINK7, and SPINK9, each have unique biological functions and mechanisms of action. The existence of these members demonstrates the diversity and complexity of skin health and disease. First, SPINK5 mutations are closely associated with the development of various skin diseases, such as Netherton’s syndrome and atopic dermatitis, and SPINK5 is able to inhibit the activation of the STAT3 signaling pathway, thereby effectively preventing the metastasis of melanoma cells, which is important in preventing the invasion and migration of malignant tumors. Secondly, SPINK6 is mainly distributed in the epidermis and contains lysine and glutamate residues, which can act as a substrate for epidermal transglutaminase to maintain the normal structure and function of the skin. In addition, SPINK6 can activate the intracellular ERK1/2 and AKT signaling pathways through the activation of epidermal growth factor receptor and protease receptor-2 (EphA2), which can promote the migration of melanoma cells, and SPINK6 further deepens its role in stimulating the migration of malignant tumor cells by inhibiting the activation of STAT3 signaling pathway. This process further deepens its potential impact in stimulating tumor invasive migration. Furthermore, SPINK7 plays a role in the pathology of some inflammatory skin diseases, and is likely to be an important factor contributing to the exacerbation of skin diseases by promoting aberrant proliferation of keratinocytes and local inflammatory responses. Finally, SPINK9 can induce cell migration and promote skin wound healing by activating purinergic receptor 2 (P2R) to induce phosphorylation of epidermal growth factor and further activating the downstream ERK1/2 signaling pathway. In addition, SPINK9 also plays an antimicrobial role, preventing the interference of some pathogenic microorganisms. Taken as a whole, some members of the SPINK family may be potential targets for the treatment of dermatological disorders by regulating multiple biological processes such as keratinization metabolism and immuno-inflammatory processes in the skin. The development of drugs such as small molecule inhibitors and monoclonal antibodies has great potential for the treatment of dermatologic diseases, and future research on SPINK will help to gain a deeper understanding of the physiopathologic processes of the skin. Through its functions and regulatory mechanisms, the formation and maintenance of the skin barrier and the occurrence and development of inflammatory responses can be better understood, which will provide novel ideas and methods for the prevention and treatment of skin diseases.

Paying for TCM according to the value of efficacy is an intrinsic requirement for establishing an effective and efficient diversified medical insurance payment method, and is also an important measure to support the inheritance, innovation and development of TCM. This study used text mining and PMC index model to quantitatively analyze and evaluate the texts of 20 special policies on payment based on efficacy value in TCM. It was found that there were 6 excellent policies, 14 acceptable policies, and there were no undesirable policies or perfect policies; overall, the average policy PMC index was 6.94, and the average provincial policy was 7.06, which was higher than the prefecture-level average of 6.27; the overall quality of special policies of TCM based on efficacy value was relatively high, but there was still much room for improvement in terms of policy timeliness, policy evaluation, policy measures, policy tools, and balance of policy design between provinces and cities.
