From 15-18 December 2022, the Oriental Conference of Interventional Neuroradiology 2022 (OCIN 2022) will be held in a combined online and offline format.
OCIN, "is not a conference, but a window for China to understand the world, and a window for the world to understand China."
From 15-18 December 2022, the Oriental Conference of Interventional Neurovascology 2022 (OCIN 2022) will be held in a combined online and offline format. As the conference is about to open, Professor Liu Jianmin, the president of the conference dissects the innovations and improvements of OCIN 2022.
The Goal of International OCIN is to Become a Century-Old Brand
In 2001, OCIN was born in Changhai Hospital in the east of China, with the great ideal of Chinese neurointervention.
In 2022, a lion that catches the world's attention and stands on the land of China opens its eyes.
OCIN Mascot: The Lion Xiaoxin
OCIN is an academic brand that is based in Shanghai and built together with domestic and international colleagues, adhering to the purpose of Originality, Collaboration, Interaction, Normalization. After 20 years of development, OCIN has become a platform for the intersection of cutting-edge knowledge, cutting-edge ideas, cutting-edge technologies and cutting-edge products of cerebrovascular diseases in the world.
"OCIN has demonstrated to international colleagues the rapid development of China's cerebrovascular disease, especially the neurointerventional industry, with new ideas, knowledge and evidence constantly emerging, which benefits patients and wins the respect of the world at the same time."
Professor Liu Jianmin says that the future of OCIN will be an international and non-profit "century-old store", and a global platform with scientific equity as the core mechanism. To achieve this ambition, the content and format of OCIN 2022 will change significantly.
Professor Liu Jianmin believes that 20 or 30 years ago, it was the cooperation between interventional doctors and surgeons, and more than 10 years ago, it was the cooperation between neurology and neurosurgery represented by the construction of stroke center, but at present, It has entered a new stage of close cooperation between cerebrovascular disease related disciplines and cardiovascular, peripheral vascular, imaging medicine, emergency medicine and other clinical disciplines with common underlying diseases and platform disciplines in the "pan-vascular era".
This year, OCIN will not set up the main venue. Besides the opening ceremony, the traditional main venue will be changed to "OCIN LIVE", which will carry out the all-day live broadcast of surgical demonstration with teaching training as the core. After the conference, it will be fixed as a regular training event every month. This is another innovative measure after OCIN WEBINARS and OCIN CASE.

At the same time, the conference will subdivide dozens of forums according to the subspecialty direction, covering aneurysm, AIS, intracranial stenosis, vascular malformation, moyamoya disease and other specific diseases. "The world of neurointerventional diagnosis and treatment is developing rapidly, and the professional direction of neurointerventional doctors is becoming more and more detailed. Under such a premise, if it is still organized as in the past with only a dozen forums, doctors may attend three days, but only one day's content is most helpful to them," said Professor Liu Jianmin.
“I hope that in the field of neurointervention, whether you're a doctor or a nurse, a technician or an engineer, they will find the current answers to their questions in OCIN."
Today OCIN has penetrated all aspects of cerebrovascular disease and has become much more international. This year, there will be two to three forum leaders, one from Shanghai, one from other provinces and cities in China and one from other countries around the world. Prof. Liu Jianmin said that in the next three to five years, the OCIN will call on outstanding talents with ambition and contribution from the industry, not only in China, but also internationally, to participate in the co-operation.
The conference will not have a main venue, but each forum will be the main venue, bringing together the world's most cutting-edge knowledge, the most cutting-edge advances and the most cutting-edge technologies, making OCIN the "home" of these outstanding talents.
Therefore, it is important for each region and each province to have centers with a strong combination of philosophy, technology, training, education and research to take on the responsibility of leading the way, promoting regional medical homogenisation and standardisation, and improving the overall level of stroke prevention and treatment in the region.
"We have selected outstanding people from each region to participate in OCIN, who have a better understanding of local medical characteristics and are better able to put forward targeted opinions. At the same time the experience they gain at OCIN can be transmitted back to the local area and radiated to lower level healthcare institutions for the benefit of more patients."
Over the past few years, OCIN has held joint forums with five top international academic organizations in the field of cerebrovascular disease - WLNC, ESMINT, SNIS, KSIN and JSNET - to share a feast with colleagues from all over the world in the cloud, to disseminate the fruitful results of Chinese cerebrovascular disease treatment to the world, and to further realize a full dialogue between international vision and Chinese experience.
WLNC&OCIN Joint Meeting
This year, the internationalization of OCIN is further deepened. The official website of OCIN will be launched recently http://www.ocin.org.cn/, and it will become a communication platform for cerebrovascular in the world. On this platform, latest knowledge, technology and experience from all over the world will be displayed. At the same time, there are more and more Chinese knowledge, Chinese evidence, Chinese experience, Chinese products on display.

"Taking the ENCHANTED-2/MT study as an example, in 2022 China provided the world with many of the highest level of evidence-based evidence in the field of neurointervention, and we have slowly become the center of stroke research in the world. Once we learned from the world, now we have the ability to give back to the world, to benefit the world.
In traditional Chinese thought, the highest level of human social development is great harmony. What is great harmony? In today's terms, it means a community with a shared future for mankind. Speaking of how to achieve this goal, the famous scholar Fei Xiaotong has a classic expression, that is, every beauty has its uniqueness, precious is to appreciate other forms of beauty with openness. If beauty represents itself with diversity and integrity, the world will be blessed with harmony and unity.
The ideal of great harmony in the world is also rooted in Professor Liu Jianmin's heart and in the blood of OCIN: If you have participated in OCIN, you will be influenced by OCIN. Together with OCIN, we will jointly promote the development and innovation in the field of cerebrovascular diseases in the world and benefit more patients.
