To investigate the appropriate dose and interval for the administration
of triamcinolone acetonide (TA) in treating tendinopathy to avoid
adverse effects such as tendon degeneration and rupture. Human rotator cuff-derived cells were cultured using three media:
regular medium (control), regular medium with 0.1 mg/mL of TA (low
TA group), and with 1.0 mg/mL of TA (high TA group). The cell morphology,
apoptosis, and viability were assessed at designated time points.Objectives
