Variation and significance of serum leptin, blood lipid level, adiponectin, NO and TNF-α for patients with non-traumatic ischemic necrosis of the femoral head.

Objective To investigate the changes of serum leptin, lipid levels, adiponectin, NO and TNF-α in patients withnon-traumatic ischemic necrosis of the femoral head of the femoral head and its meanings. Methods A total of 80 patients with ischemic necrosis of the femoral head were selected from January 2015 to January 2016. And 30 healthy volunteers who took the same time were selected as the control group. Both subjects were given venous blood in the morning fasting. Serum leptin levels were measured by radioimmunoassay. Serum lipids, high and low density lipoprotein, cholesterol, triglyceride and apolipoprotein A1 were detected by automatic biochemical analyzer. Apolipoprotein B was measured by radioimmunoassay. The levels of serum adiponectin were measured by radioimmunoassay. The levels of NO and TNF-α in serum were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results Compared with the control group, the levels of cholesterol, triglyceride level, middle and low density lipoprotein and apolipoprotein B were significantly increased in INFH serum; the levels of high density lipoprotein and apolipoprotein A1 were significantly decreased The contents of NO and TNF-α were significantly increased, the content of adiponectin was significantly decreased. There was significant difference between the two groups ( P  < .05). Conclusion The levels of serum cholesterol, triglyceride level, low density lipoprotein level, apolipoprotein B level, leptin, NO and TNF-α levels in serum of INHF patients were positively correlated with the condition of INHF patients, and high density lipoprotein levels, Apolipoprotein A1 levels and adiponectin levels were negatively correlated with INHF patients.
