IHC staining of Pdia-3 in chondrocyte and subchondral bone with and without ESWT in early OA knee at 2 week(s). (A) The Pdia3 distributed over the cartilage and was enriched in the articular surface of OA+ESWT group. After measuring the staining signal, the OA+ESWT group showed significantly more expression of Pdia-3 in articular cartilage compared with OA knee.(**P < 0.001). (B) The OA+ESWT group showed significantly expression of Pdia-3 in subchondral bone compared with NC and OA groups (**P < 0.001). The scar bar was 100 μm.
