Conditions

Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2

Keywords

supraspinatus tendon, Shear wave elastic imaging, ultrasound

Brief summary

The goal of this multi-center, cross-sectional, observational study is to test and compare the difference of the supraspinatus tendon's elasticity between diabetics and healthy people. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Ultrasonic characteristics of supraspinatus tendon in diabetic patients * Influencing factors of elastic value and thickness of supraspinatus tendon Participants will be asked to: * Perform ultrasound examination of the shoulder join. * Fill in a survey with certain questions on their basic information.

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TESTShear wave ultrasonic imaging

Shear wave ultrasonic imaging technique was used to measure the superficial and deep shear wave velocity of supraspinatus tendon at 10mm (distal end) and 15mm (proximal end) from the attachment end of the greater tubercle of the humerus on the long axis section of supraspinatus tendon.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Elasticity of the supraspinatus tendon10 minsAfter activating the SWE mode, the elastic image was generated in the two-amplitude mode. After the image quality mode was qualified (the color curve in the figure was smooth), Shear wave velocity in the superficial and deep layers of the supraspinatus tendon were measured at the distal and proximal ends of the tendon perpendicular to the surface of the humerus, respectively.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Thickness of the supraspinatus tendon2 minsThe thickness of the supraspinatus tendon was measured at a tangent line perpendicular to the surface of the humerus 15mm from insertion.

Other

MeasureTime frameDescription
Blood flow within the supraspinatus tendon3 minsAfter activating the blood flow mode, the blood flow signal grading in the supraspinatus tendon was evaluated after the blood flow filled and stabilized.
