(Reported by Tian Zhenwei) On the morning of June 26, Professor Patrick M. Honore, a renowned critical care medicine expert from CHU Brugmann Hospital in Belgium, member of the Renal Section of the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine, and member of the Belgian Society of Intensive Care Medicine, visited our hospital to conduct a special lecture and academic exchange. The event was hosted by Yin Yongjie, Director of the Emergency Medicine and Critical Care Medicine Department at our hospital.

Leading physicians from the critical care medicine departments of multiple hospitals within the province, including Jilin University China-Japan Union Hospital and Jilin Provincial People's Hospital, participated in this event.

Director Yin Yongjie extended a warm welcome to Professor Patrick M. Honore and emphasized the importance of continuously strengthening communication and exchange between the provincial critical care medicine community and the international field. He stressed that enhancing professional knowledge, clinical skills, and research capabilities is of great significance for clinical medical work, education, research, and departmental development.

Professor Patrick M. Honore delivered a special lecture titled "Application of New Endotoxin-Adsorbing Membrane Materials in Sepsis." He presented the relationship between different endotoxin concentrations and sepsis, septic shock, as well as mortality rates. Additionally, he demonstrated the successful application of the new endotoxin-adsorbing membrane material oXiris in animal trials, and cited a 2013 clinical observation study that concluded: compared to traditional continuous venovenous hemofiltration, endotoxin and cytokine adsorption hemofiltration is not only safe but also accelerates the improvement of organ function.

oXiris is the latest and most advanced membrane material internationally. The successful application of this technology addresses the shortcomings in the treatment of sepsis, bringing new hope to patients. Professor Patrick M. Honore pointed out that in medical research, it is essential to stay at the forefront of academia and engage in multi-center, multidisciplinary, and multidimensional communication, exchange, and collaboration to foster new ideas for mutual development.

During the exchange session after the lecture, attendees engaged in a lively discussion with Professor Patrick M. Honore. They showed strong interest in sepsis and endotoxin adsorption technology and had in-depth exchanges with Professor Honore on challenges in sepsis treatment and the efficacy of endotoxin adsorption.

This exchange broadened the horizons of our hospital’s doctors and holds significant importance for expanding clinicians’ research perspectives and channels for scientific collaboration.
