Arthroscopic and histological synovial features have been studied in forty-two patients with classical or definite rheumatoid arthritis. A total index of disease activity as judged arthroscopically correlates significantly with a total index of histological activity. In those patients who have dense, waxy looking villi, the intensity of the villus-proliferation is associated with lymphocytic infiltration of the synovium. No relationship between synovial lining cell proliferation and cartilage disease nor between sparsity of lymphocyte infiltration and cartilage disease could be established.
对42例典型或确诊类风湿性关节炎患者的关节镜及组织学滑膜特征进行了研究。通过关节镜判断的疾病活动总指数与组织学活动总指数显著相关。在那些有密集、蜡样绒毛的患者中，绒毛增殖的强度与滑膜的淋巴细胞浸润有关。滑膜衬里细胞增殖与软骨疾病之间以及淋巴细胞浸润稀疏与软骨疾病之间均未发现关联。
