Objective: To evaluate the therapeutic effect of combining ultrasound-guided hydrodilatation with hyaluronic acid and physical therapy compared with physical therapy alone in patients with adhesive capsulitis.
Design: A prospective, single-blinded, randomised controlled trial.
Setting: Single medical centre.
For patients with adhesive capsulitis, hydrodilatation is typically performed using corticosteroids with ultrasound guidance via the posterior glenohumeral recess. Recently, a new intervention technique via the rotator cuff interval has been described. This study aimed to compare the efficacy of hydrodilatation with triamcinolone acetonide via the posterior glenohumeral recess and the rotator cuff interval in patients with adhesive capsulitis.

The secondary objective is to investigate the correlation between CHL thickness and disease duration.
Design: Prospective cross-sectional survey.
Objective: To explore the effects of low-dose radiation on the expression of immunogenic membrane molecules calreticulin (CRT) and MHC-I/II on the surface of human renal clear cell carcinoma 786-0 cells.
Methods: The inhibitory activity of low-dose radiation on cell line 786-0 was examined by CCK-8 assay. And the post-radiation membrane expressions of CRT, MHC-I and MHC-II were measured by flow cytometry while CRT was visualized by immunofluorescence photography.
