Figure 5 Histopathological evaluation of treatments on monosodium iodate-induced osteoarthritis in rat. A and B: Microphotographs showing the histological changes in hind ankle of normal control (photomicrographs); C and D: Osteoarthritic control rats (photomicrographs) in Hematoxylin and eosin (100 ×) stained sections. The integral histological architecture of hind ankle joints was found in normal control rats. Osteoarthritic control rats showed synovial hyperplasia, mononuclear inflammatory cell infiltration, marked pannus formation, cartilage destruction and bone erosion. CA: Articular cartilage; EC: Erosion of cartilage; IF: Inflammatory cells infiltration; PF: Pannus formation; SF: Synovial fluid; SM: Synovial membrane; SP: Spongy bone.
