Cataract surgery is one of the most common ophthalmologic procedures. Advances in technology and medical policies have made it more precise. Residual refractive errors and deviation of target diopters are a main cause of dissatisfaction among patients. Refractive enhancement after cataract surgery can correct or eliminate these errors, improving patients' visual quality of life. There are multiple options for correcting residual refractive errors. The best approach depends on factors like the cause of the error, degrees of residual refractive errors, type of intraocular lens, ocular comorbidities, and patient preference. This paper summarizes the incidence and types of residual refractive errors, advancements in refractive enhancement surgeries, and provides practical solutions for clinical practice.

Objective:To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of hospitalized patients diagnosed with sepsis in a large class Ⅲ general hospital in Southwest China in a period of 2 years, and to explore the risk factors related to death in patients with sepsis.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to select patients with sepsis admitted to Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital from September 1, 2021 to August 31, 2023, and general characteristics such as gender, age, discharge diagnosis, discharge department, hospitalization cost, length of stay, and prognosis during hospitalization were collected. The baseline of two groups of patients were compared, and the risk factors of in-hospital cause of death in patients with sepsis were analyzed by multivariate Logistic regression.Results:A total of 3 568 patients with sepsis were included with median age of 58 (35, 74) years old. Of all patients, there were 2 147 males (60.17%). The median length of hospitalization was 13 (8, 24) days, and the median hospitalization cost was 3.98 (1.87, 8.83) ten thousand yuan. The departments with more than 100 cases of sepsis in 2 years were central intensive care unit (ICU), pediatrics department, nephrology department, emergency medicine department, emergency intensive care unit (EICU), infectious department, respiratory medicine department, hematology department, neonatal care unit and emergency surgical department. A total of 1 210 patients (33.91%) admitted to ICU (including central ICU and EICU). The hospitalization cost of ICU patients were higher [6.7 (3.1, 15.5) ten thousand yuan], the hospitalization duration was longer [9 (3, 17) days], and the mortality was higher [35.29% (427/1 210)]. Among 3 568 patients with sepsis, 448 died and 3 120 survived during hospitalization. The age, male proportion and hospitalization cost of patients with sepsis in the death group were significantly higher than those in the survival group [age (years old): 75 (60, 86) vs. 57 (30, 71), male proportion: 67.86% (304/448) vs. 59.07% (1 843/3 120), hospitalization cost (ten thousand yuan): 6.7 (3.0, 16.9) vs. 3.7 (1.8, 8.1)], the ratio of diabetes mellitus was significantly lower than that of survival group [4.91% (22/448) vs. 10.45% (326/3 120)], the length of hospitalization was shorter than that of survival group [days: 10.0 (3.0, 19.0) vs. 13.0 (8.0, 24.0)], the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.01). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that male [odds ratio ( OR) = 0.75, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was 0.59-0.96], elder ( OR = 1.04, 95% CI was 1.03-1.05) and diabetes ( OR = 0.32, 95% CI was 0.19-0.54) were independent risk factors for in-hospital death in patients with sepsis (all P < 0.05). Conclusions:Sepsis is a heavy burden in Southwest China, especially for ICU, with high mortality, high hospitalization costs, and heavy economic burden on patients and society. Male, elder and diabetes were independent risk factors for in-hospital death of sepsis patients.

Objective:To understand the illness experience of patients with autologous liver transplantation and to lay the foundation for the formulation of targeted nursing measures.Methods:The objective sampling method was used to select the patients with autologous liver transplantation who were hospitalized in the hepatochydatid area of the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from September 2022 to March 2023 as the research objects. Based on the social ecosystem theory, the interview outline was formulated and semi-structured interview was conducted. After interviewing 15 people, the data was saturated. Colaizzi ′s 7-step phenomenological data analysis method was used to sort out and analyze the data. Results:There were three themes in body and mind experience of autologous liver transplantation patients: microsystem including changes in body function and mental state, meso-system including social adjustment and social dysfunction, macro system including limited access to care and lack of information support.Conclusions:The quality of life for patients improves after autologous liver transplantation compared to before surgery, but there are still issues within the social ecosystem. Medical staff should develop targeted nursing measures based on each patient ′s illness experience, improve their physical and mental functions and maintain stability in their social ecosystem.

Objective:To explore the mediating effect of medication self-efficacy between perceived social support and compliance behavior in young patients with newly treated pulmonary tuberculosis under the Southern Xinjiang Model.Methods:A cross-sectional survey was conducted in Kashgar Tuberculosis Prevention and Control Institute Hospital and Tuberculosis Specialist Hospital of Hetian from January 2022 to April 2023. A total of 302 young patients with initial treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis in were selected as the research objects by convenience sampling method. The General Information Questionnaire, the Tuberculosis Compliance Behavior Rating Scale, Perceived Social Support Scale and Self-efficacy for Appropriate Medication Use scale were used to investigate, and the correlation analysis and mediating effect analysis were carried out.Results:The total scores of compliance behavior, self-efficacy and perceived social support were (119.09 ± 13.49), (23.48 ± 6.25) and (55.67 ± 11.33) respectively. All dimensions of medication self-efficacy and perceived social support were positively correlated with compliance behavior ( r values were 0.555 - 0.943, all P<0.01), and medication self-efficacy was positively correlated with perceived social support ( r = 0.981, P<0.01). Medication self-efficacy played a partial mediating effect between perceived social support and compliance behavior, accounting for 74.46% of the total effect. Conclusions:The medication self-efficacy of young patients with newly treated pulmonary tuberculosis is the mediating variable between perceived social support and compliance behavior. Medical staff should focus on and carefully evaluate the medication self-efficacy and perceived social support of patients, so as to give supportive intervention in time, so as to change or even reverse the non-compliance behavior and improve the compliance level of patients.

Objective:To investigate the medication adherence and its influencing factors in young newly diagnosed pulmonary tuberculosis patients during different treatment periods, in order to provide a theoretical basis for formulating precise medication management strategies and thus improving the treatment success rate.Methods:A cross-sectional survey was conducted using a stratified random sampling method to select 283 young newly diagnosed pulmonary tuberculosis patients who visited and registered in the Kashgar region of Xinjiang from September 2021 to February 2022. The patients were divided into three groups according to the treatment time of receiving standard chemotherapy regimen: A (1-2 months of medication), B (3-4 months of medication), and C (5-6 months of medication), with 77, 89, and 117 cases, respectively. The clinical data of tuberculosis patients were collected by using the general information questionnaire,Eight-Item Morisky Medication Adherence Scale and Tuberculosis Medication Adherence Scale for tuberculosis patients.Results:Those who take medication well of three groups of young newly treated pulmonary tuberculosis patients were 93.5% (72/77), 89.9% (80/89), and 82.1% (96/117), respectively. The difference among the three groups was statistically significant ( χ2=6.23, P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that social support was an influential factor for the 1st to 2nd month of medication ( OR=0.536, P<0.05); treatment confidence and psychological status were influential factors for the 3rd to 4th month of medication ( OR=0.668, 2.212, both P<0.05); comorbidity, social support, psychological status, and coping style were influential factors for the 5th to 6th month of medication ( OR values were 0.428 - 9.518, all P<0.05). Conclusions:The relevant factors that affect medication adherence vary among young newly diagnosed pulmonary tuberculosis patients at different stages of treatment. Accurate medication management strategies should be developed based on the influencing factors at each stage.
