Abstract EN
Objective.
To validate the ability of 99mTc-Annexin V to visualize early stage of glucocorticoid-induced femoral head necrosis by comparing with 99mTc-MDP bone scanning.
Methods.
Femoral head necrosis was induced in adult New Zealand white rabbits by intramuscular injection of methylprednisolone.
99mTc-Annexin scintigraphy and 99mTc-MDP scans were performed before and 5, 6, and 8 weeks after methylprednisolone administration.
Rabbits were sacrificed at various time points and conducted for TUNEL and H&E staining.
Results.
All methylprednisolone treated animals developed femoral head necrosis; at 8 weeks postinjection, destruction of bone structure was evident in H&E staining, and apoptosis was confirmed by the TUNEL assay.
This was matched by 99mTc-Annexin V images, which showed a significant increase in signal over baseline.
Serial 99mTc-Annexin V scans revealed that increased 99mTc-Annexin V uptake could be observed in 5 weeks.
In contrast, there was no effect on 99mTc-MDP signal until 8 weeks.
The TUNEL assay revealed that bone cell apoptosis occurred at 5 weeks.
Conclusion.
99mTc-Annexin V is superior to 99mTc-MDP for the early detection of glucocorticoid-induced femoral head necrosis in the rabbit and may be a better strategy for the early detection of glucocorticoid-induced femoral head necrosis in patients.
