Objective To investigate the characteristic of vastus lateralis (VL) and vastus medialis (VMO) during the Taijiquan exercise with surface electromyography (EMG). Methods 15 healthy adults were collected their median frequency (MF), mean power frequency (MPF), zero crossing rate (ZCR), averaged EMG (AEMG) of bilateral VL and VMO when they maintained 5 Taijiquan typical posture. Results The differences were not significant in all those indexes between VL and VMO during the postures of Baihe Liangchi and Jinji Duli, and were significant during the postures of Louxi Aobu, Shizi Tui, Pubu (P<0.05), the VL's indexes were less. Compared with the maximum voluntary contraction, Taijiquan was the lower loaded, and more slow muscle fibers could be recruited. Conclusion Taijiquan is a lower loaded exercise, and more slow muscle fibers can be recruited, especially in the VMO in some actions.

Objective:To investigate the application value of P-loop digestive tract recons-truction in pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD).Methods:The retrospective and descriptive study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 21 ampullary disease patients undergoing PD in the Liuzhou People′s Hospital Affiliated to Guangxi Medical University from April to December 2020 were collected. There were 13 males and 8 females, aged from 35 to 76 years, with a median age of 60 years. All the 21 patients underwent PD and digestive tract reconstruction using P-loop method based on the Child reconstruction. Observation indicators: (1) surgical situations; (2) postoperative situations; (3) follow-up. Follow-up was conducted using outpatient examination or telephone interview to detect survival and discomfort symptoms of patients up to December 2020. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M(range). Count data were described as absolute numbers or persentages. Results:(1) Surgical situations: all the 21 patients underwent PD successfully. The operation time, time of P-loop anastomosis and volume of intraoperative blood loss of 21 patients were (317±74)minutes, (14±3)minutes and 375 mL(range, 100-800 mL), respectively. Of the 21 patients, 17 cases had pancreatic texture as soft, 4 cases had pancreatic texture as hard, 3 cases had diameter of pancreas ≤3 mm, 18 cases had diameter of pancreas >3 mm, 14 cases were placed pancreatic duct stent, 7 cases were not placed pancreatic duct stent. (2) Postoperative situations: 2 of the 21 patients had grade A pancreatic fistula, and none of patient had grade B or grade C pancreatic fistula. One case had hepaticojejunal anastomotic fistula, 2 cases without pancreatic fistula had delayed gastric emptying and none of patient had abdominal infection or bleeding. The duration of postoperative hospital stay of 21 patients was (16±5)days, and none of patient died during postoperative 30 days. Results of postoperative histopathological examination showed there were 10 cases with duodenal papillary carcinoma, 4 cases with lower bile duct carcinoma, 3 cases with pancreatic head ductal adenocarcinoma, 1 case with duodenum stromal tumors, 1 case with gastric antrum carcinoma, 1 case with mass in the head of the pancreas of IgG4 and 1 case with choledochal cyst of type 3. (3) Follow-up: all 21 patients were followed up for 1.0 to 7.0 months, with a median follow-up time of 4.3 months. None of patient died. There was no abdominal pain, distension or dyspepsia during follow-up. One case was diagnosed as tumor liver metastasis at postoperative 5 months.Conclusion:P-loop digestive tract reconstruction in PD is safe and effective, with good short-term effect.
