The paper points out that informatization development of hospital has three stages,namely,the stage of hospital management informatization,the stage of clinical management informatization and the stage of regional health informatization.It expatiates on the impact of each stage on medical staffs' behavior,points out that informatization is able to increase medical staffs' work efficiency,regulate their diagnosis and treatment behavior and enhance diagnosis and treatment quality.

In order to improve the access and control of core data in medical information security,the paper builds a virtual isolation private cloud storage architecture in hospital,including virtualized reconstruction,metadata model application based on hierarchical model,access to remote clients design and application based on virtual isolation and so on,providing a reliable method for the isolation and intercommunication between the intranet and extranet.

Taking Children's Hospital in Hunan Province as an example,the paper introduces the design and application of the security mode for the mobile business platform of hospital from the aspects of the overall structure,implementation plans of security access equipment,security authentication modes and strategies,etc.,and provides ideas for safely implementing remote deployment and mobile application.

BACKGROUNDA large transmural myocardial infarction often results in a dyskinetic or akinetic left ventricular aneurysm (LVA). This study aimed to explore the early and long-term clinical outcomes and to identify predictors for survivals and hospital re-admission after the repair of left ventricular aneurysm.

METHODSWe followed up 497 patients who had undergone LVA repair from a single center in China between 1995 and 2005. The perioperative parameters were recorded. Risk factors for early mortality and long-term results were analyzed by multivariate Logistic regression. Cox's proportional hazard model was used to calculate risk factors for major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events, cause of death and re-admission. Kaplan-Meier curve was employed to analyze long-term survival.

RESULTSThe operative mortality was 2.0%. The long-term mortality was 11.1% and cardiac causes contributed to 61.8% of the overall long-term mortality. Four hundred and thirty-two patients survived during the follow-up period and 37.5% of them had been re-admitted at least one time. One hundred and five patients experienced major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events. Survival analysis exhibited that the probability of survival at 1 and 5 years after operation was 96% and 86% respectively. Previous atrial fibrillation was the independent risk factor for early mortality. Independent risk factors for long-term mortality were poor left ventricular ejection fraction and stroke,and risk factors for cardiac mortality were intraventricular block, stroke and poor left ventricular ejection fraction. Stroke, intraventricular block and advanced age were independent risk factors for major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events, and New York Heart Association (NYHA) class III-IV was the only risk factor for hospital re-admission.

CONCLUSIONSPostinfarction LVA can be repaired and satisfying early and long-term clinical outcome can be obtained. Endoventricular circular plasty technique is the better choice than linear repair in patients with large LVA. Survival is affected in patients with poor heart function, intraventricular block and stroke.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the effects of left ventricular reconstruction on left ventricular wall stress and function in patients with postinfarction left ventricular aneurysm.

METHODSDuring January 2005 to June 2006, 16 patients [15 male, (56.6 +/- 8.8) years] with postinfarction ventricular aneurysm received left ventricular reconstruction operation on CPB (5 linear repair, 6 endoventricular purse-string suture, 5 endoventricular patch repair) and CABG was also performed in 15 patients. MRI examination was made before and 3 months post operation by Siemens Magnetom Avanto 1.5T MR with routine cine-MRI in combination with late-delayed enhancement sequence. Left ventricular geometric parameters and segmental thickening were obtained with accessory image analysis software. Non-invasive blood pressure was acquired in order to compute ventricular wall stress. The revascularized and unrevascularized segments were defined by comparing the post operation revascularization of the blood-supply coronary artery with preoperative results.

RESULTSA total of 192 segments including 74 unrevascularized segments were analyzed. Segmental thickening were significantly increased while wall stress were significantly reduced in both unrevascularized and revascularized segments 3 months post operation compared to preoperative values (all P < 0.05). The increase of wall thickening was positively correlated with the reduction of wall stress in these segments.

CONCLUSIONLeft ventricular reconstruction plus CABG is associated with reduced left ventricular wall stress and increased myocardial contractive function in patients with postinfarction left ventricular aneurysm.

BACKGROUNDFew studies have evaluated late clinical outcome of no-patch technique in patients with large left ventricular aneurysms. The objectives of this study were to evaluate a no-patch surgical technique to reconstruct the left ventricle in patients with left ventricular aneurysm and to assess early and late clinical outcomes.

METHODSIn 1995, we began using a no-patch technique in patients with dyskinetic left ventricular aneurysms. A total of 145 patients underwent left ventricular reconstruction with this technique and were followed up for (59 ± 29) months (range, 1 - 127 months). Risk factors for early mortality were analyzed by bivariate analyses. Cox's proportional hazards model was used to calculate risk factors for all-cause mortality and hospital readmission. Kaplan-Meier methodology was used to analyze late survival.

RESULTSOne week after operation, left ventricular end-diastolic diameter had decreased from (61 ± 8) mm to (55 ± 8) mm, and geometry of the left ventricle was restored to a more normal conical shape. Early mortality was 3% and late mortality 11%. Over a 5-year follow-up period, hospital readmission was 28%. One-, 5-, and 10-year survival estimates were 95% (95% confidence interval (CI) 91% - 99%), 86% (95%CI 78% - 94%), and 74% (95%CI 60% - 88%). Readmission-free survival at 1 and 5 years after operation was 87% (95%CI 81% - 93%) and 60% (95%CI 50% - 70%), respectively.

CONCLUSIONThe no-patch technique for left ventricular reconstruction is an effective and simple procedure that can achieve satisfactory early and late clinical outcomes in patients with left ventricular aneurysms.
