“…ONFH is a kind of pathological process, which often arises topical poor blood flow in the femoral head resulted from multiple complex causes, following with abnormal differentiation, imbalance of proportion and even death of active components in bone tissues such as osteoblasts, osteoclasts, bone marrow hematopoietic cells and subsequent repair abnormalities, resulting in further ischemia, necrosis, bone trabecular fracture and collapse of the femoral head (Mont et al, 2006;Zuo et al, 2016;Glueck et al, 2005;Hirata et al, 2007;Jones et al, 2003). Among them, steroidinduced ONFH (SINFH) is increasing year by year at clinical (Zhang et al, 2013;Yu et al, 2019), because of its unclear pathogenesis and lack of effective treatment (Wu et al, 2019), SINFH has become the focus of research in recent years. Therefore, in our study, we will explore the pathogenesis of SINFH to look for novel diagnostic and therapeutic targets.…”
