Purified human umbilical hyaluronate and a commercial preparation of rooster comb hyaluronate (Healon) intended for intra-articular viscosupplementation did not demonstrate the same degree of boundarylubricating ability as bovine synovial fluid or its purified lubricating mucin, lubricin (p < 0.01).
T fluid consist of lymphocytes and a variety of larger phagocytic cells with markedly different morphoIogic features. Some resemble the monocyte of the peripheral blood, others are large cells with central nuclei which may be synovial lining cells, and some are large macrophages filled with vacuoles
## Abstract The effect of synovial fluid and washings of synovial membrane on autologous lymphocytes from patients with rheumatoid arthritis and other diseases has been studied using a rapid method based upon the increase in intranuclear birefringence occurring in the early stages of lymphocyte act
