Short-Term Outcomes of Enhanced Recovery after Surgery (ERAS) for Ankle Fracture Patients: A Single-Center Retrospective Cohort Study.

Objective: Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) has been successfully adopted for the improvement of medical quality and efficacy in many diseases, but the effect thereof for ankle fracture patients can vary. The aim of the present study was to explore the short-term postoperative outcomes of ERAS among ankle fracture patients.

Methods: The present study was a retrospective cohort study conducted between January 2019 and May 2019.

Rutin, γ-Aminobutyric Acid, Gallic Acid, and Caffeine Negatively Affect the Sweet-Mellow Taste of Congou Black Tea Infusions.

The sweet-mellow taste sensation is a unique and typical feature of premium congou black tea infusions. To explore the key taste-active compounds that influence the sweet-mellow taste, a sensory and molecular characterization was performed on thirty-three congou black tea infusions presenting different taste qualities, including the sweet-mellow, mellow-pure, or less-mellow taste. An integrated application of quantitative analysis of 48 taste-active compounds, taste contribution analysis, and further validation by taste supplementation experiments, combined with human sensory evaluation revealed that caffeine, γ-aminobutyric acid, rutin, succinic acid, citric acid, and gallic acid negatively affect the sweet-mellow taste, whereas glucose, sucrose, and ornithine positively contribute to the sweet-mellow taste of congou black tea infusions.

Rapid volatiles fingerprinting by dopant-assisted positive photoionization ion mobility spectrometry for discrimination and characterization of Green Tea aromas.

Aroma is one major concern of tea flavor and represents an essential criterion for quality evaluation. Herein, we presented a novel approach for rapid, non-destructive and real-time fingerprinting of green tea aromas using ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) without prior sample treatment. Positive photoionization with acetone as dopant was selected as suitable source for tea volatiles analysis in comparison to other sources.

[Quantitative estimation of vegetation coverage in Mu Us sandy land based on RS and GIS].

On the basis of oriented field investigation data and corresponding RS and GIS information, and by the method of ridge estimation, this paper studied the estimation model of vegetation coverage and its affecting factors in Yijinholo County of northeast Mu Us sandy land. The results showed that the vegetation coverage was affected by NDVI, and closely linked with such RS and GIS information as, TM7, TM2, TM 4/3 and gradient. Ridge estimation method could obviously improve the limitation of Least Square method, eliminate the adverse effects caused by existing complex estimation relation towards uncoiling undetermined parameter among the variables, and improve the estimate precision.

[Effects of forest harvesting on river runoff in Xiaoxing'anling].

By the method of runoff determination in large basin combined with contrast experiment in small watershed, and based on the runoff and forest resources data in past 35 years, this paper studied the serial changes of river runoff in Xiaoxing'anling after forest harvesting. The results showed that the river flow was increased in the early 10 years after forest harvesting, but decreased gradually with the growth and crown closure of artificial larch forest, tended towards or even lower than the level before harvesting. The river runoff had a close correlation with annual rainfall and the areas of forest harvesting and regeneration.
