Figure 5.
Transverse ultrasound images of the lateral aspect (a-h) and dorsal aspect (i, j) of the fetlock joint of 4 horses taken on day 0 (D0) before MSC injections (a, c, e, g), on day 1 (D1) after injection (b, d, h, j), and on day 3 (D3) after injection (f, i) showing the different grades of synovial effusion measured on ultrasound. Note the aspect of the skin (arrow) from concave to convex and the amount of fluid (∗) from mild to marked. (a, b) Right front fetlock of horse 1 injected with autologous BM-MSCs showing grade 0 synovial effusion on D0 (a) and grade 1 on D1 (b). (c, d) Left front fetlock of horse 10 injected with allogeneic UCB-MSCs showing grade 0 synovial effusion on D0 (c) and grade 2 on D1 (d). (e, f, i) Right front fetlock of horse 9 injected with allogeneic BM-MSCs showing grade 0 synovial effusion on D0 (e) and grade 3 on D3 (f, i). (g, h, j) Right front fetlock of horse 7 injected with autologous BM-MSCs showing grade 0 synovial effusion on D0 (g) and grade 4 on D1 (h, j).
