Fig. 1From: Expression of xylosyltransferases I and II and their role in the pathogenesis of arthrofibrosisHE Staining of soft tissue. a Synovial tissue from the control group. Intima has one to three strata, loose connective tissue, superficial network of capillaries connected to the intima. b AF tissue from a patient. Synovial hyperplasia, enlarged subintima with vascular infiltration, fibrosis. c β catenin expression in a patient’s AF tissue. d AF tissue exhibits macrophages in the intima with typical immunohistological staining for CD68 in close vicinity to vessels.
