Clinical characteristics of renal anastomotic hemangioma

In this editorial,we comment on the article by Chen and Cai.We focus on renal anastomotic hemangioma,which is a rare benign hemangiomatous disease.This disease has unique clinical characteristics.Its biological behavior is benign,but its imaging results are similar to those of renal cancer.Renal anastomotic hemangioma is easy to misdiagnose and can lead to unnecessary radical nephrectomy.Therefore,urologists need a better understanding of this disease.We believe that patients with renal anastomotic hemangioma should receive individualized diagnosis and treatment to avoid overtreatment.

Temporal Trend in Lung Cancer Burden Attributed to Ambient Fine Particulate Matter in Guangzhou, China

Objective To estimate the lung cancer burden that may be attributable to ambient fine particulate matter （PM2.5） pollution in Guangzhou city in China from 2005 to 2013. Methods The data regarding PM2.5 exposure were obtained from the ＆#39;Ambient air pollution exposure estimation for the Global Burden of Disease 2013＇ dataset at 0.1° ×0.1° spatial resolution. Disability-adjusted life years （DALYs） were estimated based on the information of mortality and incidence of lung cancer. Comparative risk analysis and integrated exposure-response function were used to estimate attributed disease burden. Results The population-weighted average concentration of PM2.5 was increased by 34.6% between 1990 and 2013, from 38.37 μg/m3 to 51.31 μg/m^3. The lung cancer DALYs in both men and women were increased by 36.2% from 2005 to 2013. The PM2.5 attributed lung cancer DALYs increased from 12105.0 （8181.0 for males and 3924.0 for females） in 2005 to 16489.3 （11291.7 for males and 5197.6 for females） in 2013. An average of 23.1% lung cancer burden was attributable to PM2.5 pollution in 2013. Conclusion PM2.5 has caused serious but under-appreciated public health burden in Guangzhou and the trend deteriorates. Effective strategies are needed to tackle this major public health problem.

Spectrum of Diseases in Female Children and Adolescents Admitted to the Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, Shanghai, between 2003 and 2017

Objective:To investigate the spectrum of diseases in female children and adolescents hospitalized for obstetric and gynecological conditions.Methods:This retrospective study included patients(age≤19 years)admitted to the Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital of Fudan University,Shanghai,between January 2003 and December 2017.Their medical records-age,principal diagnosis,and treatment-were reviewed and analyzed.Diagnoses were divided into eight disease classifications.Comparison between groups was analyzed with Student’s t-test.Results:This study enrolled 4,628 inpatients.The number of inpatients increased each year,especially in the groups of gynecologic tumors,pregnancy-related conditions,and disorders of the breast.The mean age was 16.33±2.42 years(range:2-19 years).Of all the inpatients,41.9%(n=1,939)were hospitalized for gynecologic tumors,and 85.5%(n=1,657)of the tumors were benign.Altogether,ovarian cysts(28.66%,n=1,325)were the most common disease observed in this group.In addition,32.9%(n=1,524)of the inpatients were hospitalized for pregnancy,childbirth,and puerperium;within this group,21.9%(n=1,014)were hospitalized for artificial abortions.Conclusions:The efforts of all stakeholders toward the implementation of government policies to promote sexual and reproductive health among children and adolescents in China have been effective.
