Fenestration of tenosynovial capillaries.

A proportion of superficial capillaries in joint synovium are known to be fenestrated. The specialized functions of these fenestrated capillaries are unknown. We report the finding of fenestrae in tenosynovial capillaries from rabbit peroneal tendon sheaths. Fenestrations occupied 0.66% of the endothelial surface. Fenestrated capillaries appear to be a general feature of synovium, rather than a specific feature of joint tissue.

Quantitative histological analysis of antigen-induced arthritis in the rabbit.

Antigen-induced arthritis in the rabbit (AIAR) provides the closest experimental equivalent to human rheumatoid arthritis in terms of infiltration of synovial tissue by lymphoid cells. A method is described for quantitative histological analysis of AIAR. Measurements of total cell numbers, lymphocyte and polymorphonuclear leucocyte infiltration, and thickness of infiltrated synovium were obtained for ranges of antigen dosage and duration of arthritis. The method has been devised as part of a system for the analysis of joint swelling, synovial fluid biochemistry and cytology, cartilage proteoglycan chemistry and synovial histology on the same specimen.
