Circulating exosome levels in the diagnosis of steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head

چکیده
OBJECTIVES Circulating exosomes represent novel biomarkers for multiple diseases. In this study, we investigated whether circulating exosome levels could be used as a diagnostic biomarker for steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). METHODS We assessed the serum exosome level of 85 patients with steroid-induced ONFH and 115 healthy donors by Nanosight detection. We then assessed the diagnostic accuracy of serum exosomes by receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. RESULTS The circulating exosome level of the ONFH group was significantly lower than that of control group. The area under the curve was 0.72, suggesting that the level of serum exosomes has moderate diagnostic accuracy for steroid-induced ONFH. CONCLUSION Circulating exosome levels are valuable in the diagnosis of steroid-induced ONFH.Cite this article: H-Y. Zhu, Y-C. Gao, Y. Wang, C-Q. Zhang.

High Serum Alpha-2-Macroglobulin Level in Patients with Osteonecrosis of the Femoral Head
Background: Diagnosis of osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is complicated due to the lack of reliable serum biomarkers. Up-regulation of alpha-2-macroglobulin (A2M) gene has been reported in glucocorticoid-induced ANFH rat model. This study aimed to investigate whether the serum level of alpha-2-macroglobulin (A2M) can be used for ONFH diagnosis. Methods: Serum protein capillary elect...

Background: Osteonecrosis (ON) is known to be one of the most disabling complications following corticosteroid (CS) medications. However, evidence regarding risk of asymptomatic prevalence of ON among different diseases and the impact of variable steroid regimens are conflicting. We aimed to determine the prevalence of ON of femoral head in asymptomatic patients with systemic rheumatic diseas...

Background: Femoral head avascular necrosis is the cause of paralyzing status of youth population. Initial diagnosisis the main element in treating the disease. Bone grafting and core decompression are the approved cures at the earlysteps of the disease. Hip replacement in a total manner is the common cure in the final stages. The optimal treatment inthe intermediate stages is...
