CS-semi5 alleviates collagen-induced cartilage thickness reduction and cartilage loss in CIA mice. (A) Safranin O/fast green staining of ankle joints. Red arrows indicate cartilage. Original magnification was 100×, and 200× magnification was used in high-power views. Bar respectively indicates 100 and 50 μm. (B) The severity of cartilage loss was analyzed based on the OARSI score system. (C) Articular cartilage areas were quantified by tracing Safranin O-positive stained areas. n = 7. ## p < 0.01 compared with Control group; *p < 0.05 and **p < 0.01 compared with Model group.
