Objective To investigate the correlation between skeletal muscle mass index(ASMI)and islet β cell reserve function in patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).Methods A total of 100 patients with newly diagnosed T2DM were included in this study.All the patients were admitted to the Department of Endocrinology in the First People's Hospital of Yinchuan between June 2022 and November 2023.They were divided into two groups according to their skeletal muscle mass index(ASMI):patients with T2DM accompanied by sarcopenia(Sar,n=50)group,and patients with simple T2DM(T2DM,n=50)group.Additionally,a control(NC)group consisting of 50 healthy participants was selected.Fasting C-peptide levels,liver and kidney function,blood lipid profiles,and other indicators were assessed in all the individuals.The correlation between ASMI and other indicators was analyzed,and the influencing factors for ASMI and T2DM combined with sarcopenia were analyzed respectively.Results The levels of HbA1c,FPG,and TG were higher,while FC-P and Scr levels were lower in the T2DM group and Sar group compared with the NC group(P<0.05).FPG was higher,while ASMI,FC-P,BMI were lower in the Sar group than in the T2DM group(P<0.05).Spearman correlation analysis revealed a negative correlation between ASMI and FPG and HbA1c(P<0.05),whereas a positive correlation was observed with BMI,ALT,Scr,SUA and FC-P(P<0.05).Multiple linear regression analysis indicated that BMI,HbA1c and FC-P were influencing factors for ASMI(P<0.05).Furthermore,logistic regression analysis demonstrated that BMI,HbA1c,FC-P were influencing factors for T2DM with sarcopenia(P<0.05).Conclusions The level of ASMI may be related to the reserve function of islet β cells.

Objective To compare the effect of various manipulation of Tuina on surface electromyogram (sEMG) in hemiplegics after stroke. Methods From January to May, 2016, 20 inpatients with hemiplegia after stroke accepted Tuina on bilateral rectus femoris by the same therapist, with the techniques of rolling, patting, rubbing, shaking, kneading and pressing, one minute a manipulation and interval one minute. Integrated electromyography (iEMG), root mean square (RMS) and median frequency (MF) of sEMG were compared, both in rest and during Tuina. Results There was no significant difference of iEMG, RMS and MF between affected and unaffected sides in rest (t<1.147, P>0.05). iEMG and RMS were the most under patting (F>21.376, P<0.001), and MF was the highest under pressing (F>11.772, P<0.001). iEMG, RMS and MF were not very different under other manipulation (P>0.05). iEMG and RMS were less in the affected side than in the unaffected side under patting (P<0.05). Conclusion Various manipulation of Tuina may be different in neuromuscular stimulation, that patting may stimulate more muscles and motor units.
