From July 18-20, 2025, the “3rd Academic Annual Meeting of the Andrology Professional Committee and 2025 Andrology Discipline Construction/Core Technology Training Course,” hosted by the China Human Health Technology Promotion Association, was successfully held in Harbin. The theme of this year’s meeting was “Collaborative Efforts to Create Core Technologies in Andrology,” focusing on cutting-edge technologies in the diagnosis and treatment of male reproductive diseases. The meeting attracted hundreds of experts and scholars from across the country. Among the highlights was the clinical application and research results of Low-Intensity Pulsed Ultrasound (LIPUS) presented by Dr. Li Peng and Professor Li Zheng’s team from Shanghai First People's Hospital, which became a focal point of attention in the industry.
As an important academic event in the field of andrology, the conference focused on core challenges in male reproductive health, delving into key issues such as spermatogenesis disorders, sexual dysfunction, and prostate diseases. The meeting followed the “academic discussion + achievement transformation” model, showcasing both breakthroughs in basic research and innovations in clinical technology. It provided a comprehensive platform for exchanging ideas on both basic research and clinical applications in the field of andrology, offering a high-level communication platform for the development of the industry.
Expert Exchanges
The academic exchange sessions were fruitful, with many authoritative experts presenting forward-thinking research findings. Professor Li Zheng from Shanghai First People's Hospital elaborated on the pathogenesis of erectile dysfunction (ED) treated with LIPUS and introduced the progress of a multi-center, open-label, randomized controlled trial conducted by his team. This research provided important evidence for the clinical standardization of LIPUS technology, drawing widespread attention from the attendees.
Dr. Li Peng, also from Shanghai First People's Hospital, shared a presentation titled "Multidimensional Clinical Applications and Prospects of Low-Intensity Pulsed Ultrasound (LIPUS) in Andrology," systematically explaining the diverse clinical applications of LIPUS technology in andrology and its future development directions, offering practical guidance for technology translation.
WBL LIPUS
After the meeting, Professor Li Zheng specially visited the WBL exhibition booth and highly recognized their LIPUS innovative products. He introduced the product’s technical features and clinical application value to colleagues on-site, further highlighting the innovative strength of WBL Medical Group in the field of male urology diagnostic and therapeutic equipment.
The successful hosting of this annual meeting marks the official entry of male reproductive health diagnosis and treatment into the “non-invasive era” in China. The breakthrough in WBL’s LIPUS technology not only brings hope to ED patients but also signifies the broad prospects of micro-energy medicine in the field of regenerative medicine. As Professor Li Zheng said, “From invasive to non-invasive, from non-invasive to reality, the innovative path of LIPUS is a perfect combination of technology and humanity.”
