2025 Inaugural Global Chest Wall Surgery Conference Concludes Successfully: Uniting Expertise, Driving Innovation

GUANGZHOU, China, July 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The inaugural Global Chest Wall Surgery Conference concluded successfully in Guangzhou on July 19, uniting leading medical experts worldwide to share cutting-edge surgical innovations and clinical insights in chest wall surgery.

The conference featured a series of high-level academic lectures focusing on the latest developments, advanced techniques, emerging trends, and key issues in chest wall surgery. 9 distinguished medical experts from the United States, India, Japan, Malaysia, Armenia, Thailand, and China delivered keynote speeches, attracting nearly 50 medical professionals from around the world.

A Global Dialogue Shaping the Future of Chest Wall Surgery

The event was co-hosted by the Institute of Chest Wall Surgery (ICWS) of Guangdong Second Provincial General Hospital (GD2H) and the International Chest Wall Surgery Organization (ICWSO).

Professor Hongyi Qu, the Director of GD2H, and Professor Wenlin Wang, the president of ICWS, attended the conference. "This is a truly global platform for fostering comprehensive dialogue on chest wall disorders," said Professor Wang. "It will help shape the future of our discipline."

From Nuss to Wang: A New Era of Minimally Invasive Chest Wall Surgery and Global Collaboration

The conference centered on the surgical skills and clinical applications of the traditional Nuss procedure and the innovative Wang procedure for pectus excavatum. Notably, experts from Armenia and Thailand are actively studying the Wang procedure, with plans to introduce it into clinical practice in their countries. They highlighted that, compared with the standard Nuss procedure, the Wang procedure is less invasive, safer, and technically simpler—making it more accessible for experienced surgeons to adopt and implement.

Beyond pectus excavatum, experts also shared their surgical approaches and clinical experiences in treating other chest wall disorders, such as asphyxiating thoracic dystrophy, chest wall tumors, and chest wall infections.

The success of the inaugural conference marks a new milestone in international exchange and collaboration in the field of chest wall surgery. ICWS remains committed to advancing the field through continuous innovation, education, and global partnerships.

2025 Inaugural Global Chest Wall Surgery Conference Concludes Successfully: Uniting Expertise, Driving Innovation

GUANGZHOU, China, Jan. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Recently, GAC's independently developed Quark E-Drive power domain control system has achieved the world's first dual certification for deeply integrated ASIL D functional safety and information security, accredited by DAkkS, Germany's national accreditation body. The certification was evaluated and issued by SGS-CSTC Standards Technical Services Co., Ltd. (SGS), a globally recognized certification authority.

ISO 26262 is the internationally recognized core standard for automotive functional safety. Within this framework, ASIL D represents the highest automotive safety integrity level, requiring near-zero tolerance for safety-critical failures. Achieving an ASIL D certification accredited by DAkkS signifies that the certified product meets the highest globally accepted standards for automotive safety.

The certified Quark E-Drive power domain control system has been in production use since February 2025, and is now deployed across multiple models under GAC's brands - HYPTEC and AION. As the industry's first electric drive power domain system based on deep integration using a single main control chip, the solution significantly reduces chip count, minimizes risks associated with chip-level failures, and boosts motor controller efficiency to as high as 99.9%. The certification confirms that GAC has completed the system's full product development lifecycle in strict compliance with ISO 26262:2018 functional safety and ISO/SAE 21434:2021 information security standards.

Throughout the project, GAC Technology Research Center worked closely with SGS experts, strengthening safety design across all development phases while ensuring engineering feasibility and an optimal user experience.

Zhao Hui, Vice President of SGS China, commented: "The successful certification highlights GAC's strong team and robust development systems. We are pleased to support the safety of the Quark E-Drive and look forward to closer collaboration."

This milestone represents a major breakthrough for GAC in e-drive safety and sets a new global benchmark for the intelligent electric vehicle industry.
