Figure 2

Synovial fluids cause time-dependent stimulation of calcium 45 (45Ca) release from neonatal mouse calvarial bones. Synovial fluids from one patient with osteoarthritis (OA) and one patient with a loose prosthesis, at concentrations of 10%, were added to six or seven cultured mouse calvarial bones, and the release of 45Ca was compared to that from unstimulated (control) bones. Small amounts of media were withdrawn at the stated time points, and 45Ca release was analysed as described in Materials and methods. The data shown represent the absolute percentage of 45Ca release. Standard error of the mean is shown as vertical bars when the height of the error bar is larger than the radius of the symbol.
