Fig. 1From: Effects of local cryotherapy on systemic endothelial activation, dysfunction, and vascular inflammation in adjuvant-induced arthritis (AIA) ratsEffect of local cryotherapy on arthritis score and joint damage in AIA rats. Experiments were conducted in AIA rats from the “endothelial activation” series treated or not with local cryotherapy. A Time-course of arthritis score. B Radiographic score and C representative X-ray radiography of hind paws at the end of experiment. D–I Effect of cryotherapy on the different items of the radiographic score: swelling, cartilage destruction, osteoporosis, bone erosion and new bone formation. Results are expressed as means ± SEM (n=number of rats/group). *(p<0.05), **(p<0.01)Back to article page
