  • Keynote Speech II
  • Eliminating Problematic Blood Vessels as a New Treatment Method for Chronic Joint Pain
  • Dr. Yuji Okuno
  • Chief Director
  • Okuno Clinic, Japan
  • Abstract: Many people suffer from chronic joint pain, such as shoulder pain that interrupts their daily sleep, low back pain that prevents them from enjoying playing golf, or knee pain when doing housework. However, when these people go to hospital, what they are suggested is painkillers or temporary injections, and their underlying problem still needs to be resolved.
  • We have developed a new treatment option for such chronic pain that resolves the cause of chronic joint pain and have been spreading this treatment worldwide. This treatment eliminates problematic blood vessels that form at the painful site.
  • When we hear the word "blood vessels", we recognize it as something essential and it sounds that is indispensable to the human body. Indeed, normal blood vessels are essential and valuable. However, two types of blood vessels can be developed in our human body: normal and problematic blood vessels, which can cause disease and inflammation. The formation of this problematic blood vessel around the joints can cause chronic low back pain, shoulder pain, knee pain, and other joint pain. Problematic blood vessels cause chronic pain through two effects: 1) Inflammatory cells in the blood leak from it, and 2) it allows nerves to grow around it (nerve and blood vessels can grow each other).
  • In the 20-minute treatment we have developed, we use a thin, soft tube, advance it very close to the problem vessel, and administer a small particle to stop the abnormal blood flow to the problem vessels and recover the normal blood flow, thereby improving prolonged pain.
  • To date, more than 15,000 people have received this treatment in Japan. In addition, it has been proven to be very safe and performed in more than 20 countries overseas, including the United States, Europe, Australia, and South America. In the United States, it was approved by the FDA in October 2021.
  • In the present session, the detail of this innovative treatment option and how we developed this will be shared.
  • Biography of Dr. Yuji Okuno
  • Yuji Okuno is a chief director of Okuno Clinic, which provides chronic pain treatments in Japan.
  • He graduated from Keio University School of Medicine and received his medical license in 2006. He also entered the doctoral program at the same university in 2009 and received his PhD in pathological angiogenesis in 2012.
  • He started his career as an interventional radiologist and from that experience, he had a clinical question "Why can a blood vessel with disturbed structure be formed in cancer or inflammation?" And to solve it, he focused on pathological angiogenesis when he was engaged in basic research of vascular science that he did as a graduate student researcher. From this work he found genes involved in the pathogenesis of pathological angiogenesis and he reported the results of the study to Nature Medicine in 2012 as the first author. Based on these experiences, from the viewpoint that reduction of problematic blood vessels leads to improvement of chronic inflammatory diseases, he has developed a treatment using embolization technique applying to chronic musculoskeletal disorders, such as knee osteoarthritis and frozen shoulder and reported its safety and usefulness in the world for the first time by conducting clinical research. At present, this procedure is beginning to be confirmed for safety and usefulness in third parties in other countries.

  • Kumamoto Earthquake Museum: https://kumamotojishin-museum.com/
  • KIOKU (記憶) ― Memory
  • The white smoke of Aso, the pure water that springs up, and the rich sea where various creatures live, are all that nature gives us. Throughout history, our lives have been coexisting with the majestic nature that brings us various benefits. Memories of natural disasters such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are also engraved in the history of activities that people and the nature of Kumamoto have intertwined.
  • Those of us who experienced the Kumamoto earthquake need to pass on the memories, experiences, and lessons of the earthquake to future generations without fading. The Kumamoto Earthquake Disaster Museum KIOKU has been developed as a core base facility of the corridor-type field museum "Kumamoto Earthquake Memory Corridor" that reliably conveys the memories, experiences, and lessons learned from the 2016 Kumamoto Earthquake to future generations. At this museum, you can learn about the damage caused by the Kumamoto earthquake, the mechanism of its occurrence, and disaster prevention through exhibits of earthquake relics, a theater that looks back on the time, earthquake remains, and various programs. Let's think about what we can do to help people coexist with nature.

  • Greetings from ICIC International to All the Contributors of ICICIC
  • on the Occasion of Its 15th Anniversary
  • This year marks the 15th anniversary of ICICIC since ICIC International first launched it in 2006. As the conference name suggests, the aims of the conference are to the advancement of the theory and practice of computer science and engineering, information sciences, automation and control. ICICIC brings together academics, scientists, and practitioners to discuss the state-of-the-art, new research results, perspectives of future developments, and innovative applications relevant to the related fields, enhance international academic exchanges and collaborations, and build up professional networks.
  • Looking back, some internationally recognized leading experts in related fields have shared their advanced thoughts, and many inspiring and interesting ideas have been raised, exchanged and discussed through the conferences. Ongoing friendship has been further fostered and strengthened, and successful collaborations continue, while some new connections and friendships are established and further developed. In addition, ICICIC has helped a large number of research students, early and middle career researchers grow positively and become bigger, stronger, and leaders in their fields. There is no doubt that ICICIC has become an excellent and important platform for researchers from the globe to present their research results and achievements.
  • We have so many unforgettable memories in each year’s conference. To commemorate this, we have specially established a gallery to show the development of ICICIC on ICICIC2021 website. We sincerely hope you will enjoy it and we really appreciate all attendees who have shared pictures with us.
  • Due to the continued pandemic of COVID-19 and travel restrictions, unfortunately it is not possible to have ICICIC2021 onsite this year. We would like to take this opportunity to express our deep appreciation to your loyalty, trust, and dedication to ICICIC in the past, and continued strong support in the future. Let us work together to maintain ICICIC’s high international standing and make it more success in the years to come. We look forward to the opportunity to meet you face-to-face again in future ICICIC.
