Background: Alcoholic osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is a multifaceted illness that seriously disturbs the patients' quality of life. The role of lncRNAs in alcoholic ONFH has attracted widespread attention in recent years. This study mainly explored whether MIR31HG polymorphism affects the risk of ONFH.

Methods: There were 733 males (308 alcohol-induced ONFH patients and 425 healthy controls). Seven single nucleotide polymorphisms from MIR31HG were genotyped using the Agena MassARRAY platform. Odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) logistic regression was applied to assess the contribution of MIR31HG variants to alcoholic ONFH susceptibility.

Results: We found that rs10965059 was related to a lower risk of alcoholic ONFH in the overall, age, and necrotic sites analysis. Rs10965064 also showed a risk-reducing effect in the occurrence of alcoholic ONFH patients older than 40 years old.

Conclusions: We confirmed that MIR31HG variants have a significant correlation with the occurrence of alcoholic ONFH among the Chinese Han male population. our findings may provide new ideas for understanding the effect of MIR31HG on the prevention and diagnosis of alcoholic ONFH.

Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is a chronic progressive debilitating disease that often affects young and active patients. It results from vascular interruption to the femoral head and can be caused by trauma, chronic corticosteroid use, chronic alcoholism, and coagulopathies. Treatment includes core decompression, a surgical procedure that may help delay or forestall disease progression if performed at the early stages of the disease.

Background: While individual risk factors, including chronic corticosteroid use, alcohol abuse, and smoking, are implicated in osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH), the degree to which multiple risk factors increase risk is unknown. This study aimed to: (1) identify the demographic characteristics of patients who have ONFH; (2) quantify the effects of individual risk factors on ONFH development; (3) quantify the effects of combined risk factors on ONFH development; and (4) determine the prognostic implications of combined risk factors on ONFH development.

Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study.

Objective: Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is a disease that occurs frequently in young and middle-aged people. Because of its high disability rate, it affects the ability to work, so the early treatment of this disease is particularly important. This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the clinical efficacy of hip arthroscopy combined with multiple small-diameter fan-shaped low-speed drilling decompression (MSFLD) in treating early-mid stage ONFH (ARCO II-IIIA) compared to MSFLD, with at least 10-year follow-up.

Objective: To identify different key genes and pathways between males and females by studying differentially expressed genes (DEGs).

Methods: The gene expression data of GSE123568 were downloaded from GEO database, including osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) samples from 3 females and 7 males, and DEGs between different gender were identified with R software. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed to further analyze the interactions between overlapping DEGs, and finally, GO, KEGG and gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) were conducted for enrichment analysis.
