[PMID: 39111237 PMCID: PMC11343062 DOI: 10.1016/j.psj.2024.104127] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/23/2024] [Revised: 06/19/2024] [Accepted: 07/24/2024] [Indexed: 08/26/2024] Open
Abstract
Femoral head necrosis (FHN) in broilers is a common leg disorder in intensive poultry farming, giving rise to poor animal health and welfare. Abnormal mechanical stress in the hip joint is a risk factor for FHN, and articular cartilage is attracting increasing attention as a cushion and lubrication structure for the joint. In the present study, broilers aged 3 to 4 wk with FHN were divided into femoral head separation (FHS) and femoral head separation with growth plate lacerations (FHSL) groups, with normal broilers as control. The features of the hip joint, bone, and cartilage were assessed in FHN progression using devices including computed tomography (CT), atomic force microscope (AFM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Broilers with FHN demonstrated decreased bone mechanical properties, narrow joint space, and thickened femoral head stellate structures. Notably, abnormal cartilage morphology was observed in FHN-affected broilers, characterized by increased cartilage thickness and rough cartilage surfaces. In addition, as FHN developed, cartilage surface friction and friction coefficient dramatically increased, while cartilage modulus and stiffness decreased. The ultramicro-damage occurred in chondrocytes and the extracellular matrix (ECM) of cartilage. Cell disintegration, abnormal mitochondrial accumulation, and oxidative stress damage were observed in chondrocytes. A notable decline in cartilage collagen content was observed in ECM during the initial stages of FHN, accompanied by a pronounced reduction in collagen fiber diameter and proteoglycan content as FHN progressed. Furthermore, the noticeable loosening of the collagen fiber structure and the appearance of type I collagen were noted in cartilage. In conclusion, there was a progressive decrease in bone quality and multifaceted damage of cartilage in the femoral head, which was closely linked to the severity of FHN in broilers.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The cartilage degeneration that accompanies subchondral bone necrosis plays an important role in the development of osteonecrosis of femoral head (ONFH). To better understand the molecular basis of cartilage degradation in ONFH, we compared the proteomic profiles of ONFH cartilage with that of fracture control. DESIGN Hip cartilage samples were collected from 16 ONFH patients and 16 matched controls with femoral neck fracture. Proteomics analysis was conducted using tandem mass tag-based quantitation technique. Gene ontology (GO) analysis, KEGG pathway and protein-protein interaction analysis were used to investigate the functions of the altered proteins and biological pathways. Differentially expressed proteins including alpha-2-HS-glycoprotein (AHSG) and Cytokine-like protein 1 (Cytl1) were validated by Western blot (WB) and immunohistochemistry (IHC). RESULTS 303 differentially expressed proteins were identified in ONFH cartilage with 72 up-regulated and 231 down-regulated. Collagen turnover, glycosaminoglycan biosynthesis, metabolic pathways, and complement and coagulation cascades were significantly modified in ONFH cartilage. WB and IHC confirmed the increased expression of AHSG and decreased expression of Cytl1 in ONFH cartilage. CONCLUSIONS Our results reveal the implication of altered protein expression in the development of ONFH, and provide novel clues for pathogenesis studies of cartilage degradation in ONFH.

Abstract
AIMS The aim of this study was to report the medium-term outcomes of impaction bone allograft and fibular grafting for osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) and to define the optimal indications. METHODS A total of 67 patients (77 hips) with ONFH were enrolled in a single centre retrospective review. Success of the procedure was assessed using the Harris Hip Score (HHS) and rate of revision to total hip arthroplasty (THA). Risk factors were studied, including age, aetiology, duration of hip pain, as well as two classification systems (Association Research Circulation Osseous (ARCO) and Japanese Investigation Committee (JIC) systems). RESULTS After a mean follow-up period of 8.61 years (SD 1.45), 81.3% (52/64) of enrolled cases had a good or excellent HHS at latest follow-up (declining to 76.0% (38/50) for those with more than eight years of follow-up). Overall survival was 92.1% at eight years' follow-up (95% CI 83.2% to 96.4%). A total of 12 hips (19.0%) failed (reoperation or HHS < 70 points) at final follow-up. Rate of success was adversely affected by increasing age, duration of pain, and more severe disease as measured using the ARCO and JIC classifications, but not by aetiology of the ONFH. CONCLUSION We report favourable medium-term results of this procedure. Best outcomes can be expected in patients matching the following indications: younger than 40 years; less 12-month hip pain before surgery; femoral head collapse being less than 2 mm; and integrated lateral wall of femoral head.

Abstract
Hip cartilage destruction is consistently observed in the non-traumatic osteonecrosis of femoral head (NOFH) and accelerates its bone necrosis. The molecular mechanism underlying the cartilage damage of NOFH remains elusive. In this study, we conducted a systematically comparative study of gene expression profiles between NOFH and osteoarthritis (OA). Hip articular cartilage specimens were collected from 12 NOFH patients and 12 controls with traumatic femoral neck fracture for microarray (n=4) and quantitative real-time PCR validation experiments (n=8). Gene expression profiling of articular cartilage was performed using Agilent Human 4×44K Microarray chip. The accuracy of microarray experiment was further validated by qRT-PCR. Gene expression results of OA hip cartilage were derived from previously published study. Significance Analysis of Microarrays (SAM) software was applied for identifying differently expressed genes. Gene ontology (GO) and pathway enrichment analysis were conducted by Gene Set Enrichment Analysis software and DAVID tool, respectively. Totally, 27 differently expressed genes were identified for NOFH. Comparing the gene expression profiles of NOFH cartilage and OA cartilage detected 8 common differently expressed genes, including COL5A1, OGN, ANGPTL4, CRIP1, NFIL3, METRNL, ID2 and STEAP1. GO comparative analysis identified 10 common significant GO terms, mainly implicated in apoptosis and development process. Pathway comparative analysis observed that ECM-receptor interaction pathway and focal adhesion pathway were enriched in the differently expressed genes of both NOFH and hip OA. In conclusion, we identified a set of differently expressed genes, GO and pathways for NOFH articular destruction, some of which were also involved in the hip OA. Our study results may help to reveal the pathogenetic similarities and differences of cartilage damage of NOFH and hip OA.
