Analysis of the articular lavage 24 hours after induced papain injury. (A) Absolute neutrophil count calculated from a differential count determined in cytospin preparations stained with the Diff-Quik stain. *P < 0.05 and **P < 0.001, Tukey's test compared with the control group. ##P < 0.001, Tukey's test compared with the injury group. (B) Absolute macrophage count calculated from a differential count determined in cytospin preparations stained with Diff-Quik stain. **P < 0.001, Tukey's test compared with the control group. ##P < 0.001, Tukey's test compared with the injury group. ξP < 0.05 Tukey's test compared with the 50 mW low-level laser therapy group. Results expressed as mean ± standard error of the mean. LAS: Washed Articular Synovium.
