Effects of high humidity on arthritis symptoms and inflammation in healthy rats and CIA model rats. Representative images of ankle joints. (a) CON; (b) HH; (c) CIA; (d) H + CIA. Histopathological examination of articular cartilage by Saffron O staining. (e) CON; (f) HH; (g) CIA; (h) H + CIA. (i) arthritis scores. (j) Serum proinflammatory cytokines levels of rats in the each group. (k) IL-6; (l) IL-17; (m) TNF-α. Compared to that in the CON group, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01; compared to that in the CIA group, #p,0.05, ##p < 0.01; N.S, represents no significance.
