Changes in synovial protein and related factors in ankle joints of rats in each group after treatment. (a) The related factors in ankle joints of rats in each group, including a for Control group, b for Model group, c for Colchicine group, d for PEL-L group, and e for PEL-H group. The relative expression values of NLRP3 (b), MMP13 (c), and caspase-1 (d) in synovium of rat ankle joints were determined. Compared with the blank group, ^##P < 0.01, ^###P < 0.001; compared with the model group, ^∗P < 0.05, ^∗∗P < 0.01.
