BACKGROUND: The pathogenesis of steroid-induced osteonecrosis of femoral head is still unclear, which is closely related to osteoblast apoptosis. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the role of long non-coding RNA H19 (lncRNA H19) in dexamethasone-induced osteoblast apoptosis. METHODS: Mouse osteoblasts (MC3T3-E1) were cultured and divided into control group (no treatment) and dexamethasone group (treated with 1 μmol/L dexamethasone for 24 hours). Western blot was used to detect the protein expression levels of Bax, Bcl-2, and p-ERK1/2/ERK1/2. Flow cytometry and cell viability staining were used to detected cell apoptosis. qRT-PCR was performed to detect the expression of lncRNA H19. lncRNA H19 negative control plasmid (ad-NC) and lncRNA H19 overexpression plasmid (ad-lncRNA H19) were transfected into MC3T3-E1 cells, followed by 24 hours of dexamethasone intervention. Cell apoptosis of MC3T3-E1 was detected using cell viability staining, western blot assay, and flow cytometry. MC3T3-E1 cells were treated with MAPK-ERK pathway inhibitor (PD98059) for 24 hours and western blot was used to detect the protein expression levels of Bax and Bcl-2. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Compared with the control group, the apoptotic rate of MC3T3-E1 cells was increased in the dexamethasone group (P < 0.01), while the expression of lncRNA H19 was decreased (P < 0.01) and the MAPK/ERK signaling pathway was inhibited. Up-regulation of lncRNA H19 in MC3T3-E1 cells reduced the apoptosis of cells (P < 0.01) and activated the MAPK/ERK signaling pathway. MC3T3-E1 cells treated with dexamethasone+ad-lncRNA H19+PD98059 showed an increase in the expression of Bax (P < 0.01) and a decrease in the expression of Bcl-2 (P < 0.01) compared with the cells treated with dexamethasone+ad-lncRNA H19. These findings indicate that overexpression of lncRNA H19 can inhibit dexamethasone-induced apoptosis in MC3T3-E1 cells by activating the MAPK-ERK signaling pathway. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective To investigate the methodology and efficacy of the treatment on unstable osteoporotic intertrochanteric fractures in the elderly． Methods A total of 194 elder patients，who accepted operation of proximal femoral nail anti-rotation ( PFNA) ，or dynamic hip screw ( DHS) ，or hip replacement，or proximal femur locking compress plate ( PF-LCP) for unstable intertrochanteric fractures in our hospital from January 2005 to May 2015，were retrospectively analyzed． The operation time， amount of bleeding，time of hospital stay，ambulation time，score of Harris，and complication，etc． ，were evaluated． Ｒesults The surgery and hospitalization time was the shortest in PFNA group，and followed by GTF prosthetic group，PF-LCP group，and DHS group ( P ＜ 0. 01) ． The amount of bleeding was the lowest in PFNA group，and it was no statistical difference among joint replacement group，PF-LCP group，and DHS group． The ambulation time was the shortest in GTF prosthetic group，and followed by PFNA group，PF-LCP group，and DHS group，with no statistical difference． Harris score was the highest in GTF prosthetic group，and followed by PFNA group，PF-LCP group，and DHS group after 1 month of operation ( P ＜ 0. 01) ，and it was not significantly different among the 4 groups after 6 months of operation ( P ＞ 0. 01) ． Conclusion The key of treatment for elderly patients with femoral intertrochanteric unstable fracture is how to reduce operation risk，to shorten the ambulating time，and to avoid complications． PFNA should be preferred for the patients with better physical condition，low degree of osteoporosis，and lighter degree of fracture comminution． On the contrary，hip arthroplasty has more advantage for patients with severe osteoporosis and heavy fracture comminution degree，and DHS needs to be chosen carefully [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
