The phrase "articular section" is not correct in written English.
Did you mean "articular" as in relating to joints, or perhaps "particular"? If you meant "particular section," it can be used to refer to a specific part of a document or text.
Example: "In the particular section of the report, we discuss the findings in detail."
Alternatives: "specific section" or "certain section."
Total number of chondrocytes and positive-staining chondrocytes were counted in the femur and tibia, respectively, in three or more sections on 3 6 high-power fields (×400) according to the size of articular sections, and mean count of these sections was used to determine a proportion of cells expressing MMP-3.
The articular sections stained with Safranin-O and fast green (SOFG) are also evaluated in three different locations within the joints and the OA reduces the SOFG score (Fig. 8).
Articular cartilage sections were prepared as previously described [ 15].
Strikingly, CD166+ cells in OA and normal articular cartilage sections (22.1 ± 1.7% and 23.6% ± 1.4%, respectively; n.s).s
To assess differences in collagen fibre type in the articular cartilage, sections were stained using immunohistochemistry both for type 1 and type 2 collagen.
The tidemark, the basophilic line on articular cartilage sections separating uncalcified cartilage from calcified one, which was one of the representative markers for cartilage maturation [ 43], was clearly detectable in the repaired cartilage section at 52 weeks.
Five micron articular cartilage sections are evaluated from three different locations within each joint for fibrillation, chondrocyte necrosis, chondrocyte cluster formation (previously called chondrone formation) and focal cell loss.
To clarify the relationship between oxidative damage and development of OA, immunostaining for nitrotyrosine was examined in the donor-matched pair of intact and degenerated articular cartilage sections from the same OA sample.
Full-depth articular cartilage sections were examined from 12 non-arthritic individuals of age 19 to 69 years and from 7 OA patients of age 55 to 75 years.
We examined the expression pattern of both TrkA and the low-affinity NGFR, p75NTR (also known as the stem cell marker CD271), in human knee articular cartilage sections by immunohistochemistry. CD271 staining was negative in fetal and normal adult human cartilage, but positive in the superficial zone of early OA articular cartilage (Fig. 1a).
