Untersuchungen �ber den submikroskopischen Bau der Synovialmembran

Ultrastructure of the Bovine Synovial Membrane in Ontogenesis

“…First electron microscopic studies on the synovial membrane of calf, dog and guinea-pig published Langer and Huth (1960); synovial membrane of a rabbit described Ghadially and Roy (1966), later Krey et al (1976), Oryschak and Ghadially (1976); comparison of the synovial membrane ultrastructure in man, mice, rat, rabbit and guinea-pig described Linck and Porte (1978), a proof on the secretory function of synovial membrane cells worked out Okada et al (1981) who demonstrated secretory granules in the B synovialocytes of mice, rat, guinea-pig, rabbit and of man. Differences in composition and synovial membrane ultrastructure by rat and man described Roy and Ghadially (1967) and in the first place Wassilev (1972Wassilev ( ,1973Wassilev ( ,1975.…”

“…Cutlip and Cheville (1973) presented a fundamental description on sheep. Langer and Huth (1960) have been the first who observed synovial membrane submicroscopic structure in calf and lately Howlett (1974) who described differences in ultrastructure of this tissue in bulls under pathological conditions. These studies (and many others not mentioned here) on the synovial membrane of mammals and man (Horky 1981) stated that there are no differences in the fine structure of synovial membrane in different age groups and only small differences in the appearance of synovial membrane of various joints in man and other mammals.…”

“…They emit several protrusions interconnected with one another. They are sporadically arranged in synovial matrix of the most of mammals (Langer and Huth 1960;Ghadially and Roy 1966;Bozdech and Horn 1970;Krey et al 1976;Linck and Porte 1978;Okada et a1. 1981;Horky 1981) while by rats for example matrix is reduced and the cells lean closely to one another (Roy and Ghadially 1967, Wassilev 1972, 1973, 1975.…”

Submicroscopic Structure of the Human Synovial Membrane

“…The first studies on synovial membrane on an electron microscopic level were published by Langer and Huth (1960), Wyllie et a!. (1964) in guinea-pigs, Ghadially and Roy (1966) described the rabbit synovial membrane, as well as Mitchell and Blackwell (1968), Muirden and Peace (1969), later Cherney et a!.…”

Ultrastructure of normal rat synovial membrane.

“…The fine structure of the synovium of man (Barland, Novikoff, and Hamerman, 1962;Roy, Ghadially, and Crane, 1966), guinea-pig (Wyllie, More, and Haust, 1964), rabbit , calf and dog (Langer and Huth, 1960), and cat (Lever and Ford, 1958) have been well documented, but rat synovium has not been studied in this fashion. During the course of our investigations of normal and pathological synovia we had occasion to examine the synovium of this animal and found that it shows some features quite unlike any that have been observed in other species.…”
