Observation on changes of quadriceps tendon in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients based on ultrasonic elastography
Objective To observe the changes of quadriceps tendon in type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)patients based on ultrasonic elastography.Methods Data of 80 T2DM patients(T2DM group)and 80 healthy subjects(control group)were retrospectively analyzed.The general information and ultrasound elastography parameters,including strain ratio(SR)of the ratio of the proximal,middle and distal segments of quadriceps tendon and ipsilateral anterior femoral fat pad were compared between groups,while the correlations of the above SR with the disease course of T2DM and glycosylated hemoglobin(HbA1c)were explored.Results Fasting blood glucose and HbA1c in T2DM group were both significantly higher than those in control group(both P＜0.05).Compared with control group,SR of the proximal,middle and distal segments of quadriceps tendon in T2DM group were all significantly higher(all P＜0.05),especially the distal and proximal segments(t=6.01,5.92).In T2DM group,SR of the proximal,middle and distal segments of quadriceps tendon were positively correlated with the disease course of T2DM(r=0.45,0.20,0.43,all P＜0.05)and HbA1c(r=0.44,0.40,0.33,all P＜0.05).Conclusion SR of quadriceps tendon in T2DM patients significantly increased and positively correlated with the course of disease and HbA1c.
