Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the prognostic value of baseline peripheral blood neutrophils, monocytes, and lymphocytes on locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) patients.
Methods: Clinicopathologic data of 317 LARC patients during July 2010 and October 2016 were retrospectively gathered. X-tile software was used to acquire the optimal cutoff values of neutrophils, monocytes, and lymphocytes.
The near-surface part of the crust, also called the skin of the earth, is the arena of human activity of which the stiffness is of great concern to engineers in infrastructure construction. The stiffness reduction of near-surface geomaterials also plays a vital role in geohazards triggering. However, the physical mechanism behind the material softening is still not fully understood.

Objective: To evaluate the immunogenicity, safety, stability and consistency of three consecutive lots of an inactivated hepatitis A vaccine (Healive).
Methods: A double-blind, randomized and controlled clinical trial was conducted in healthy volunteers aged from 1 to 8 years. Totally, 400 subjects were enrolled and assigned into four groups, each receiving one of the three lots of Healive or a licensed control vaccine in 0 and 6th month.
Immunization is considered as the most effective way for the prophylaxis of hepatitis A virus (HAV) infection. This study aimed to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of three consecutive lots of a new preservative-free inactivated hepatitis A vaccine (Healive) in healthy children. A double-blind, randomized and controlled clinical trial was conducted in healthy volunteers aged from 1 to 8 years.

Objective: To introduce a new surgical approach to rectify the shortened lower limbs.
Methods: From March 1985 to October 2000, 288 cases of shortened lower limbs were treated and reviewed. Closed fracture at the metaphysis was made by a self-made "needle saw", and then the "multiple-plane and double-track elongation instrument" was adopted to elongate the fractured bone.
