In 24 adult RA patients with knee joint synovitis and bilateral hydrops, the worse joint clinically was treated with osmic acid and 50 mg of hydrocortisone acetate, while the better joint clinically was treated with 40 mg of methylprednisolone acetate (Depot Medrol). After 6 months, hydrops was palpable in 8 joints treated with osmic acid and in 15 joints treated with corticosteroid only. Pain relief was more marked in joints treated with osmic acid.
在24例患有膝关节滑膜炎和双侧积液的成年类风湿性关节炎患者中，临床上病情较重的关节用锇酸和50毫克醋酸氢化可的松治疗，而临床上病情较轻的关节用40毫克醋酸甲泼尼龙（德宝松）治疗。6个月后，在接受锇酸治疗的8个关节和仅接受皮质类固醇治疗的15个关节中可触及积液。接受锇酸治疗的关节疼痛缓解更为明显。
