Photomicrographs of femoral joint cartilage, acute and chronic inflammatory periods. Sagittal cut, hematoxylin and eosin stain in 1 magnification. CG (A, B) show normal aspects of joint cartilage (Ca), presence of tidemark (arrow), normal cellular organization (arrow filled) with higher density of chondrocytes in the surface area, subchondral bone (Os), blood vessels (Vs) with normal aspects, joint cavity (star) without inflammatory infiltration. In LG (C, D), changes in joint cartilage (Ca), discontinuity of tidemark (dotted arrow), invagination of subchondral bone (asterisk) and flocculations on the surface of the cartilage (arrow). The GLE in the acute group (E) is noted greater thickness of the cartilage, in the chronic inflammatory period (F), the joint cartilage shows similarities with GC and tissue reorganization.

Context 2
... of thinner joint cartilage were found, verified with greater evidence in tibia, areas of flocculation, especially in the acute femur and tibia chronic group, discontinuity of the tidemark, cells arranged irregularly, greater invagination of subchondral bone. In LEG animals (Figure 2. E, F), (Figure 3. E, F), submitted to injury and treated with physical exercise, areas with greater joint cartilage thickness were found in acute femur period, whereas the animals of the chronic inflammatory period show morphological similarities with CG with tissue reorganization. ...
Context 3
... knee joints of CG and CEG in the acute and chronic periods, showed characteristic morphology with the joint cartilage presenting smooth surface and organized in four normal cell layers in femur ( Figure 2. A, B), and tibia (Figure 3. A, B) in the surface area showed higher cell density, clustered chondrocytes in horizontal positioning with a flat aspect. ...
