In the present study, we hypothesized that LPZ has the potential to suppress IRF7 and NF-κB, in the same manner as BAY11-7082, and so prevent corticosteroid-induced ONFH in rats. The present study showed that the co-treatment of LPZ with corticosteroids prevents the development of ONFH in experimental animals, as well as in patients with immune disease treated with corticosteroids. The results of the experimental study indicate that LPZ may also prevent the development of ONFH in patients with immune diseases needing corticosteroid treatment. The present study shows that the co-treatment of LPZ with corticosteroids prevents the development of ONFH through the suppression of IRF7 activity in rats. Nevertheless, we believe that LPZ is safe to use and could be effective in preventing osteonecrosis of the femoral head in patients needing corticosteroid treatment. ./cache/cord-311481-2awvmpyh.txt ./txt/cord-311481-2awvmpyh.txt
