Abstract:
Objective To analyze the correlation between serum leptin and osteoprotegerin with IL-6 and TNF-α in the pa-tients with gout arthritis osteoporosis .Methods Forty-eight cases of gout arthritis were selected as the research subjects (GA group) ,including 19 cases of complicating osteoporosis(OP group) and 29 cases of non-complicating osteoporosis(non-OP group) . Other 45 individuals undergoing healthy physical examination were selected as the control group .The bone mineral density (BMD) was measured by dual energy X-ray BMD absorptionmetry instrument and the levels of serum LEP ,OPG ,IL-6 and TNF-αwere de-tected by ELISA .Results The incidence rate of osteoporosis in the GA group was significantly higher than that in the control group (39 .6% vs .13 .3% ,P=0 .004) ,and BMD in various sites was significantly lower than that of the control group (P<0 .05) . The serum LEP level in the OP group was significantly increased compared with that in the non-OP group and control group(P<0 .05) ,and the OPG level was significantly decreased ,the difference was statistically significant (P<0 .05) .The serum LEP level in the non-OP group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0 .05) ,but the OPG level had no statistical difference between non-OP group and control group(P>0 .05) .The serum IL-6 and TNF-αlevels in the OP group were significantly higher than those in the non-OP group and control group(P<0 .05) ,and the non-OP group was significantly higher than the control group (P<0 .05) .The serum LEP level in the OP group was positively correlated with IL-6 and TNF-α(P<0 .05) ,and the serum OPG level was negatively correlated with IL-6 and TNF-α(P<0 .05) .Conclusion The serum LEP and OPG levels have abnormal change in the patients with gout arthritis osteoporosis ,which has a certain correlation with IL-6 and TNF-α.
