The purpose of the present study is to find potential biomarkers of the SONFH by using proteomic technology to analyze serum protein profiles in patients with SONFH and the healthy control group. To ensure the reproducibility, accuracy and objectivity of the experiments, the following steps were Differentially-expressed protein spots were identified from the two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis profiling of human plasma, with a lower abundance in the steroid-induced femoral head osteonecrosis group compared to the control group. In the present study, four proteins (C3, C4, ITIH4 and A2MG) showed lower expression in the serum of patients with SONFH than that of the normal subjects. The present study shows that the expression of C3, C4, ITIH4 and A2MG were significantly altered in patients with SONFH. ./cache/cord-339333-7tpnbr8q.txt ./txt/cord-339333-7tpnbr8q.txt
