Objective:To explore the application of psychological resilience intervention combined with prospective nursing in patients with free skin flap transplantation to repair skin and soft tissue defects of extremities.Methods:Using the convenient sampling method, a total of 65 patients with soft tissue injury in the skin of extremities after undergoing free skin flap transplantation who were admitted to Henan Provincial People's Hospital from October 2019 to October 2020 were selected. According to the admission time, they were divided into the observation group (34 cases) and the control group (31 cases) . Patients in the observation group received psychological resilience intervention combined with prospective nursing, while patients in the control group only received prospective nursing. The surgical success rate, flap necrosis rate, incidence of vascular crisis and complications were compared between the two groups. Symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-90) was used to evaluate treatment effects of patients in two groups before and after the intervention.Results:There was no statistically significant difference in the surgical success rate, flap necrosis rate and incidence of vascular crisis between the observation group (100.00%, 2.94%, 2.94%) and the control group (96.77%, 12.90%, 16.13%) ( P>0.05) . The observation group had 1 case of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and 2 cases of other complications, and the control group had 3 cases of pressure injury, 1 case of infection, 2 cases of DVT and 3 cases of other complications. The complication rate in the observation group was 8.82%, which was lower than 29.03% in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05) . After intervention, the scores of anxiety and paranoia in the observation group were lower than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Psychological resilience intervention combined with prospective nursing has a good application effect on patients with free skin flap transplantation to repair skin and soft tissue defects of extremities. The complication rate is reduced, and mental health of patients is good.

Objective:To investigate the associations between small diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) hyperintensities lesions and total cerebral small vessel disease (cSVD) burden and the influence on prognosis in patients with acute intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).Methods:Consecutive patients with acute spontaneous ICH from January 2018 to June 2021 were recruited in the Stroke Center of Zhengzhou People′s Hospital. Magnetic resonance imaging was performed to quantify DWI hyperintensities lesions and cSVD imaging markers, including white matter hyperintensities, enlarged perivascular spaces, lacunes and cerebral microbleeds, which were calculated for the total cSVD burden (0-4 points). The prognosis was assessed with the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at discharge and 90-day. Multivariable Logistic regression models were adopted to explore the associations between DWI lesions and total cSVD burden and clinical outcome.Results:Of 283 included patients, 59 (20.8%) had small DWI lesions, 32 (11.3%) had multiple lesions. They were mostly punctate, mainly located in the cortical and subcortical regions, and scattered in multiple vascular territories. With the increase of cSVD burden, the number of DWI lesions gradually increased. Spearman correlation analysis showed that the total cSVD burden was positively correlated with the number of DWI lesions ( r=0.21, P<0.001). In multivariable regression analyses, the total cSVD burden was independently associated with DWI lesions ( OR=1.63, 95% CI 1.23-2.15, P=0.001). The 90-day poor outcome (mRS scores≥4) in patients with DWI lesions was significantly higher than those without DWI lesions (39.3% vs 16.3%, χ 2=14.38, P<0.001), while there was no statistically significant difference in the poor outcome of discharge between the two groups (26.5% vs 17.7%, χ 2=3.06, P=0.080). With the increase in the number of DWI lesions, the 90-day poor outcome increased significantly (trend chi-squared test χ 2=11.50, P=0.001). Multivariable analyses showed that DWI lesions ( OR=4.39, 95% CI 1.92-10.03, P<0.001) and their number ( OR=1.42, 95% CI 1.06-1.90, P=0.018) were independently associated with the 90-day poor outcome. Conclusions:Higher total cSVD burden is an independent risk factor for small DWI lesions in patients with ICH. Small DWI lesions were independently associated with the 90-day poor outcome, but not with the discharge outcome.
