Caption: Figure 2--Photomicrographs of the joint cartilage of mice after the experimental induction of OA in DMM: A, E), group treated with AuNP-PAH; A: slight unevenness of the joint surface (arrow) with disorganization of the chondrocyte columns; B, F) group treated with curcumin; C, G) group treated with AuNP-PAH-curcumin; C) Integrity of the joint surface can be seen despite the slight disorganization of chondrocyte columns and cluster formation (arrow); D, H) control group treated with saline solution; D) Intense fibrocartilage formation, disorganization, and bone remodelling; H) intense decrease in proteoglycans shown by the decrease in
Safranin O/Fast Green staining.
Visualization of cartilaginous nodules with
Safranin O and SEM confirmed that ASCCTRL underwent more effective chondrogenesis in comparison to control group.
The UF range was estimated from the tidemark to the furthest recognizable chondrocyte within the ligament, as described previously,11 and this area was stained in red through
Safranin O staining (Fig.
The
Safranin O staining showed a significantly different proteoglycan profile between the CON group and the injury groups.
Slices were mounted on glass slides and stained with
Safranin O (Sigma-Aldrich[R]) and fast green (Sigma[R]).
Sections were stained with Johansen's
safranin (Johansen 1940) and 0.

safranin technique with microwave heating," Journal of Clinical Microbiology, vol.
Free hand sections were clarified in 50% sodium hypochlorite, and stained with 1%
safranin (C.
Three specimens were identified as Cryptosporidium species using initial testing with auramine-rhodamine flouorescent stain and confirmatory testing with
safranin stain or on formalin, either concentrate or on a direct wet prep, from a sodium acetate formalin container.
Finally, the sections were stained with
safranin for 50 min, dehydrated and mounted in DPX.
Then the secondary stain,
safranin was added, and incubated for 1 min.
Special
safranin 0 (SO) histopathological staining revealed that CLX and SMN improved the MIA-induced destruction and fibrillation in cartilage surface.
