- The values are expressed as the ratio of the gamma-counting values in the treated joint (left knee) to those of the untreated joint (right knee). (+) indicates groups with a magnet. DXM, dexamethasone 21-acetate; mBSA, methyl bovine serum albumin; PBS, phosphate-buffered saline; SD, standard deviation; SPION, superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticle.
