The goals of this study were to investigate the incidence and characteristics of hematuria in patients with microtia, and to clarify that more attention should be paid to renal dysfunction in patients with microtia. We conducted a retrospective cohort study of a total 9447 children diagnosed with microtia (selected as study group, 7037 children) or pigmented nevus (selected as control group, 2410 children) at the Plastic Surgery Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College from January 2009 to June 2021. All of the routine urinalysis report of these children were reviewed to assess the incidence and characteristics of hematuria in each group. No statistically significant differences were observed when analyzing the overall incidence of hematuria between the study and control groups (P > 0.05). However, after grouping by sex, the incidence of hematuria in female children with microtia was significantly higher than that in femalecontrol group and no similar results were observed in the male patients. In addition, after further grouping by age in case group, the incidence of hematuria in girls of all ages with microtia was significantly higher than that in males with microtia (age 0-10:males: Girls = 1.89%:4.14%; age 0-5: males: Girls = 1.22%:3.73%; age 6-10: males:Girls = 1.97%:4.14%,P < 0.05), while no similar results were obtained in the control group.(age 0-10:males: Girls = 1.39%:2.22%; age 0-5: males: Girls = 1.07%:1.95%; age 6-10: males: Girls = 3.38%:3.17%, P > 0.05). Higher incidence of hematuria was observed in female children with microtia.

Introduction: Vidofludimus calcium (VidoCa) is a dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH) inhibitor that demonstrated efficacy in immune-related diseases. This study assessed the safety and efficacy of VidoCa in patients with active ulcerative colitis (UC).
Methods: This placebo-controlled, phase 2 trial randomized adults with moderate-severe UC to receive once-daily VidoCa (10, 30, or 45 mg) or placebo for 10 weeks (induction); patients with symptomatic remission were re-randomized to VidoCa 10, 30 mg, or placebo once-daily for an additional 40 weeks (maintenance).

Introduction: The incidence of kidney stones in children has steadily increased in recent years. Miniaturized percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) techniques, such as micro-PCNL(4.85Fr) and ultramini-PCNL(<15Fr), have become increasingly prevalent in pediatric kidney stone treatment due to their high stone clearance rate and low complication rate.

Bladder cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide. Despite its high incidence, cystoscopy remains the currently used diagnostic gold standard, although it is invasive, expensive and has low sensitivity. As a result, the cancer diagnosis is mostly late, as it occurs following the presence of hematuria in urine, and population screening is not allowed.
