Then, we would analyze tendon-related transcription factors from histology and cytology, and compare changes in tendon with ultrasound images.

This change will in turn produce a change in the morphology of the tendon tissue in the ultrasound image. However, there have been few studies in the past literature on the correlation between constant changes in tendon-specific transcription factors and characterization on clinical ultrasound images. Therefore, the purpose of this project is to extract the effusion and damaged tendon while performing tendon repair therapy in patients with tendon tears, and to analyze the tendon-related transcription factors from histology and cytology to understand the changes in tendon homeostasis. At the same time, the interpretation of clinical ultrasound images was combined to establish the relationship between the biochemical factors of the cell tissues of chronic tendon lesions and the clinical ultrasound image. This study will help us to understand the mechanism of chronic tendinopathy.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'minimumAge': '20 Years', 'samplingMethod': 'NON_PROBABILITY_SAMPLE', 'studyPopulation': 'Ultrasound diagnosis of damage to the shoulder rotator tendon, calcification, acromion bursitis or viscous shoulder capsule', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* age older than 20 y\n* shoulder pain more than 3 months and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) \\>4\n* shoulder tendon defect on ultrasound images\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* diagnosis of cervical radiculopathy or other central or peripheral neuropathy\n* rheumatoid arthritis or other autoimmune diseases\n* have received any shoulder joint injection within three months\n* tumor or systematic inflammation'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT04502134', 'briefTitle': 'Association Between Tendon-related Transcription Factor and Ultrasound Images and Shoulder Function', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'National Taiwan University Hospital'}, 'officialTitle': 'Association Between Tendon-related Transcription Factor and Ultrasound Images and Shoulder Function', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': '201910004RIND'}}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'locations': [{'zip': '100025', 'city': 'Taipei', 'status': 'RECRUITING', 'country': 'Taiwan', 'contacts': [{'name': 'Chao Yuan-Hung, PhD', 'role': 'CONTACT', 'phone': '0933121572'}], 'facility': 'National Taiwan University Hospital', 'geoPoint': {'lat': 25.05306, 'lon': 121.52639}}], 'centralContacts': [{'name': 'Chao Yuan-Hung, PhD', 'role': 'CONTACT', 'email': 'yuanhungchao@ntu.edu.tw', 'phone': '0933121572'}]}, 'sponsorCollaboratorsModule': {'leadSponsor': {'name': 'National Taiwan University Hospital', 'class': 'OTHER'}, 'responsibleParty': {'type': 'SPONSOR'}}}}
