Abstract
The effect of osmium tetroxide, which is used in treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, was histologically and electronmicroscopically examined in the normal synovial membrane of the rabbit. The animals were albino rabbits, and they were 20 altogether. 0.3 ml. of 1% OsO(4) solution was injected, i.a., in the right knee. The left knee joint served as a control. One minute after the injection, black reduced osmium was observed in the synovial membrane. The endothelial layer of the synovial membrane coagulated and disappeared within some days. Deep in the synovial membrane, a foreign body granuloma and a connective tissue scar appeared in five weeks. The result was a strong thickening of the synovial membrane.
期刊介绍:
Scandinavian Journal of Rheumatology is the official journal of the Scandinavian Society for Rheumatology, a non-profit organization following the statutes of the Scandinavian Society for Rheumatology/Scandinavian Research Foundation. The main objective of the Foundation is to support research and promote information and knowledge about rheumatology and related fields. The annual surplus by running the Journal is awarded to young, talented, researchers within the field of rheumatology.pasting
The Scandinavian Journal of Rheumatology is an international scientific journal covering clinical and experimental aspects of rheumatic diseases. The journal provides essential reading for rheumatologists as well as general practitioners, orthopaedic surgeons, radiologists, pharmacologists, pathologists and other health professionals with an interest in patients with rheumatic diseases.
The journal publishes original articles as well as reviews, editorials, letters and supplements within the various fields of clinical and experimental rheumatology, including;
Epidemiology
Aetiology and pathogenesis
Treatment and prophylaxis
Laboratory aspects including genetics, biochemistry, immunology, immunopathology, microbiology, histopathology, pathophysiology and pharmacology
Radiological aspects including X-ray, ultrasonography, CT, MRI and other forms of imaging.
