DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is an application for funds to provide partial support for an International Symposium on Urolithiasis to be held in Hong Kong on May 25 - 28, 2004. This will be the 10th in a series of symposia that have been held every 4 years since 1968. They have been very well attended in the past and have become the yardstick by which progress in the field is measured. Articles in the Proceedings that have resulted from these symposia have been widely cited, supporting their important role in disseminating scientific progress in this field. Based on past attendances it is anticipated that more than 80% of the NIH-funded investigators in the field will attend this meeting. This conference will bring together basic scientists and clinician scientists from a variety of disciplines whose research focuses on kidney stones. These investigators will include urologists, nephrologists, endocrinologists, pediatricians, pathologists, medical geneticists, biochemists, physiologists, cell biologists, public health scientists and biologists. The kidney will not be the only organ covered, and the physiology/pathology of a variety of other tissues involved in stone formation will be discussed, including bone, liver, intestine, and blood.The goals of the Symposium are to (1) address current issues in the etiology and treatment of stone disease, (2) promote discussions and the exchange of information, particularly that associated with controversial issues, (3) provide opportunities that facilitate the spawning of collaborations, (4) encourage the involvement of young investigators, and (5) to publish proceedings, abstracts and key papers to document the information presented and make it widely available. Ten scientific sessions will held to meet these goals. Internationally recognized chairs and speakers from 5 different continents have been chosen by an advisory committee. Female speakers and speakers from a diverse number of races and scientific disciplines have been selected. It is anticipated that this symposium will play an important role in promoting research on kidney stones and several genetic diseases such as the primary hyperoxalurias. It is hoped that the cross fertilization of ideas and the development of new collaborations will foster new insights into the disease processes involved.

描述（由申请人提供）： 这是一项资金的申请，可以为2004年5月25日至28日在香港举行的国际尿石症提供部分支持。这将是自​​1968年以来每4年举行一次每4年的专题讨论会中的第十个。过去，他们在过去的进度已经很好地参加了该领域的进度。这些研讨会引起的诉讼中的文章已被广泛引用，支持了它们在传播该领域的科学进步中的重要作用。根据过去的出勤率，预计将有80％以上的NIH资助的调查人员参加本次会议。这次会议将汇集来自各种学科的基础科学家和临床医生，他们的研究重点是肾结石。这些研究者将包括泌尿科医生，肾脏病医生，内分泌学家，儿科医生，病理学家，医学遗传学家，生物化学家，生理学家，细胞生物学家，公共卫生科学家和生物学家。肾脏将不是唯一的器官，并且将讨论各种其他组织的生理/病理学，包括骨骼，肝脏，肠道和血液。 （4）鼓励年轻调查员的参与，（5）发表诉讼，摘要和关键论文，以记录提供的信息并广泛使用。十个科学会议将实现这些目标。咨询委员会选择了来自5个不同大陆的国际认可的椅子和发言人。已经选择了来自不同种族和科学学科的女性演讲者和演讲者。可以预料，该研讨会将在促进肾结石和几种遗传疾病（例如原发性高氧化盐）的研究中发挥重要作用。希望思想的交叉施肥和新合作的发展能够促进对所涉及的疾病过程的新见解。
