Due to the particularity of the Intensive Care Unit(ICU)environment,the visiting time of family members is strictly limited,resulting in family members being unable to communicate with patients in time to understand their wishes and preferences.Moreover,the sudden onset of the diseases and clinical uncertainty can easily lead to ambivalence among family members in decision-making,leading to decision-making dilemmas.This paper reviewed the concepts,assessment tools,causes,effects,and coping strategies of decision-making dilemmas for family members of ICU patients,with a view to providing a theoretical basis for future intervention in decision-making dilemmas for family members of ICU patients,improving their quality of agency decision-making,shortening patient hospitalization time,improving the health outcomes of patients,and ultimately increasing the satisfaction of medical and nursing.

Objective: To explore the clinical effects of split-thickness scalp and allogenic acellular dermal matrix (ADM) in repairing deep wounds of hands in patients with extremely extensive burns. Methods: Six patients with extremely extensive burns complicated by deep burn in hands were admitted to our department from December 2014 to December 2017, including 4 males and 2 females, aged 21 to 58 years. Their total burn areas were from 85% to 95% total body surface area (TBSA), and the sum of deep-partial thickness and full-thickness wounds was larger than 50% TBSA. Under general anesthesia, deep wounds of 10 dorsal hands were repaired by combined transplantation of split-thickness scalp and allogenic ADM in 4 to 6 weeks after injury. The skin grafting range was beyond the metacarpophalangeal joint, including partial dorsal digital deep wounds. Survival of skin grafts on dorsal hands, follow-up of hand shape and functional recovery were observed and recorded. Results: Six patients were successfully treated. There was no infection on the dorsal deep wounds of 10 hands after surgery, and the grafts survived well. During follow-up of 1 to 2 years after operation, there were no recurrent tension blisters or dorsal extension deformity of the metacarpophalangeal joints in 10 hands, the shape and function of hands recovered well, and hand Carroll scores were from 90 to 99 points, with functional levels of Ⅴ and Ⅵ. Conclusions The combined transplantation of split-thickness scalp and allogenic ADM is a good method for repairing deep hand wounds in patients with extremely extensive burns, which can alleviate the cicatrix hyperplasia and contracture of healed hand wounds, and improve the shape and function of hands.

Objective To investigate the expression of inflammatory factors and brain-derived neurotro-phic factor(BDNF)in the brain hippocampus of Alzheimer's disease(AD)-like mice caused by amyloid β-protein 25-35(Aβ25-35).Methods A total of 40 six-week-old male Kunming mice were taken to construct an AD-like mouse model using bilateral ventricular injection of Aβ25-35,and were divided into the 0 d,7 d,14 d,and 28 d groups for observation,with 10 mice in each group.The Y-maze and new object recognition assay were used to test the learning and memory functions of the mice.The hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining was used to observe the neuronal damage in the hippocampal region.Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect the expression levels of phosphorylated-tau(p-tau),CD11b and BDNF in hippocampus.ELISA was used to detect the expression levels of inflammatory factors in hippocampus,including interleukin-1β(IL-1β)and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF)-α,and real-time quantitative reverse transcription PCR(RT-qPCR)and Western blot were used to detect the mRNA and protein expression levels of BDNF.Results Aβ25-35 could impair memory and cognitive function in the mice.Compared with the 0 d group,the neuron number in the hippocampal tissue of mice in the 14 d and 28 d groups was significantly reduced(P<0.05),and the optical density values of p-Tau and CD11b,and expression levels of IL-1β and TNF-α in the hippocampal region of mice in the 14 d and 28 d groups were significantly increased(P<0.05).In addition,compared with the 0 d group,the relative expression levels of BDNF mRNA and protein in the hippocampal tissue of mice were sig-nificantly increased in the 7 d group(P<0.05),while the relative expression levels of BDNF mRNA and pro-tein were significantly decreased in the 14 d and 28 d groups(P<0.05).Conclusion Aβ25-35 may increase the expression of TNF-α,IL-1β and p-tau in hippocampal tissue by activating microglia,which in turn impaired the memory and cognitive functions of mice,and the expression level of BDNF in hippocampal tissue showed a first increase and then a decrease in the injury period.
