With the rapid development of artificial intelligence （AI） technology， more and more integrated elderly care and medical service data have been collected and developed recently. However， it also has caused corresponding ethical risks in terms of privacy security such as data leakage and abuse， as well as data standardized management such as data disclosure and circulation. Based on these， this paper explored the sources of problems associated with the integrated elderly care and medical service data from the aspects of policy objectives， the elderly care and medical service industry， and application scenarios. Grounded in the ethical framework for data application of integrated elderly care and medical service， this paper discussed the policy ethics in integrated elderly care and medical service policies and AI technology application， the data ethics in the collection and sharing development of integrated elderly care and medical service data， and the ethical risks and challenges in the big model of integrated elderly care and medical service data and the allocation of computing resources. Furthermore， it explored countermeasures and suggestions for addressing ethical issues in data application of the integrated elderly care and medical service from three aspects， including data utilization， rights protection， and responsibility guarantee， with a view to providing references for promoting the standardized application of AI technology in integrated elderly care and medical service.

Objective To investigate the safety of totally thoracoscopic mitral valve reoperation with hypothermia-induced ventricular fibrillation arrest in elderly patients.Methods Clinical data of 108 elderly patients undergoing redo mitral valve surgery in our department from January 2008 to October 2024 were retrospectively collected,and according to surgical approach,they were di-vided into a totally thoracoscopic group(totally thoracoscopy with hypothermia-induced ventricu-lar fibrillation arrest,46 cases)and a median sternotomy group(cardiac arrest after median ster-notomy,62 cases).Their perioperative data were compared between the two groups.Results There were no statistical differences in baseline data between the two groups(P＞0.05).When compared with the median sternotomy group,the totally endoscopic group had significantly longer cardiopulmonary bypass time and higher mitral valvuloplasty rate and postoperative LVEF value,but obviously reduced lowest intraoperative temperature,lower blood transfusion rate,less vol-ume of suspended red blood cells transfused,decreased troponin T level 1 d postoperatively,shor-ter duration of mechanical ventilation and lengths of ICU stay and postoperative hospital stay,and less postoperative drainage volume(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).But there were no statistical differences between the two groups in terms of postoperative stroke(6.52％vs 3.23％,P=0.420)or in-hospital death(6.52％vs 6.45％,P=0.988).Conclusions Totally thoracoscopy with hypothermi-a-induced ventricular fibrillation arrest is safe and reliable for the elderly patients who need to receive mitral valve reoperation.

Objective:To examine the therapeutic strategy and its impacting factors by analyzing the perioperative outcomes of total thoracoscopic repeat mitral valve surgery under moderate hypothermia-induced ventricular fibrillation with cardiopulmonary bypass.Methods:This study is a retrospective case series. Totally 63 patients who underwent repeat mitral valve surgery by the same surgeon from January 2021 to December 2023 in Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, the First Medical Center of People′s Liberation Army General Hospital were retrospectively enrolled. There were 28 males and 35 females with an age of (58.3±15.9) years (range: 13 to 84 years). Surgery was performed using a totally thoracoscopic approach under moderate hypothermia-induced ventricular fibrillation. Mitral valvuloplasty was completed in 32 cases and mitral valve replacement in 31 cases. Preoperative baseline data and perioperative outcomes of the patients were collected and Logistic regression was used to analyze independent influencing factors of premature ventricular contractions in the early postoperative period.Results:The intraoperative cardiopulmonary bypass time was (191.5±50.9) minutes (range: 95 to 286 minutes), and the hypothermic ventricular fibrillation time was (99.0±39.8) minutes (range: 34 to 203 minutes). The anal temperature before the start of cardiopulmonary bypass was (36.3±0.5) ℃ (range: 35.2 to 38.0 ℃), the lowest intraoperative anal temperature was (27.3±1.3) ℃(range: 23.7 to 30.1 ℃), and the anal temperature at the time of the cessation of cardiopulmonary bypass was (36.3±0.4) ℃ (range: 35.2 to 37.0 ℃), and excessive rewarming was observed in 33 cases. Six cases applied the artificial heart assist device. Seventeen cases developed premature ventricular contractions in the early postoperative period. Two cases developed neurologic complications. Five cases developed respiratory complications. One case developed urological systemic complications. Six cases were mechanically ventilated for more than 3 days, and the duration of ICU stay in 16 cases was more than 3 days and the postoperative discharge time of ( M(IQR)) 8.0 (3.5) days (range: 3 to 26 days). Two cases died or were discharged voluntarily. Logistic regression results showed that persistent preoperative atrial fibrillation ( OR=11.424, 95% CI: 1.477 to 144.564, P=0.033) and excessive rewarming ( OR=15.249, 95% CI: 1.357 to 279.571, P=0.038) were independent risk factors for the appearance of premature ventricular contractions in the early postoperative period. Conclusions:The technique of total thoracoscopic surgery under induced moderate hypothermic ventricular fibrillation with cardiopulmonary bypass could be applied to repeated mitral valve surgeries with less trauma and faster recovery. Persistent preoperative atrial fibrillation and excessive rewarming are independent risk factors for the occurrence of premature ventricular contractions in the early postoperative period.
