This study compared the effect of this novel microbubble-mediated ultrasound (MUS) with that of the traditional LIPUS on osteogenesis and neovascularization in a rabbit model of steroid-associated osteonecrosis. We hypothesized that MUS might outweigh LIPUS on promoting osteogenesis and neovascularization in steroid-associated osteonecrosis. The bilateral femoral head necrosis was induced by lipopolysaccharide and methylprednisolone in the rabbits. The indices of bone mineral density (BMD), trabecular number, maximal loading strength, and mineral apposition rate were analyzed, demonstrating that the animal model of steroid-associated osteonecrosis was successfully established. Both the MUS group (\n \n \n \n \n G<\/mml:mi>\n <\/mml:mrow>\n \n M<\/mml:mi>\n <\/mml:mrow>\n <\/mml:msub>\n <\/mml:mrow>\n <\/mml:math>\n ) and the LIPUS group (\n \n \n \n \n G<\/mml:mi>\n <\/mml:mrow>\n \n L<\/mml:mi>\n <\/mml:mrow>\n <\/mml:msub>\n <\/mml:mrow>\n <\/mml:math>\n ) were insonated 20\u2009min daily for six weeks.\n \n \n \n \n G<\/mml:mi>\n <\/mml:mrow>\n \n M<\/mml:mi>\n <\/mml:mrow>\n <\/mml:msub>\n <\/mml:mrow>\n <\/mml:math>\n received an extra intracapsular injection of microbubbles before insonation every other day. Fluorescence bone labeling, Micro-CT Analysis, biomechanical test, quantitative real-time PCR, Western blot analysis, and histological evaluation were performed for comparing\n \n \n \n \n G<\/mml:mi>\n <\/mml:mrow>\n \n M<\/mml:mi>\n <\/mml:mrow>\n <\/mml:msub>\n <\/mml:mrow>\n <\/mml:math>\n with\n \n \n \n \n G<\/mml:mi>\n <\/mml:mrow>\n \n L<\/mml:mi>\n <\/mml:mrow>\n <\/mml:msub>\n <\/mml:mrow>\n <\/mml:math>\n . The results demonstrated a 39% higher mineral apposition rate in\n \n \n \n \n G<\/mml:mi>\n <\/mml:mrow>\n \n M<\/mml:mi>\n <\/mml:mrow>\n <\/mml:msub>\n <\/mml:mrow>\n <\/mml:math>\n compared with\n \n \n \n \n G<\/mml:mi>\n <\/mml:mrow>\n \n L<\/mml:mi>\n <\/mml:mrow>\n <\/mml:msub>\n <\/mml:mrow>\n <\/mml:math>\n . The BMD and the maximal loading strength of femoral head of\n \n \n \n \n G<\/mml:mi>\n <\/mml:mrow>\n \n M<\/mml:mi>\n <\/mml:mrow>\n <\/mml:msub>\n <\/mml:mrow>\n <\/mml:math>\n increased by 4.3% and 27.8% compared to those of\n \n \n \n \n G<\/mml:mi>\n <\/mml:mrow>\n \n L<\/mml:mi>\n <\/mml:mrow>\n <\/mml:msub>\n <\/mml:mrow>\n <\/mml:math>\n , respectively. The mRNA and protein expression of BMP-2 and VEGF were also significantly higher in\n \n \n \n \n G<\/mml:mi>\n <\/mml:mrow>\n \n M<\/mml:mi>\n <\/mml:mrow>\n <\/mml:msub>\n <\/mml:mrow>\n <\/mml:math>\n . The number of blood vessels of\n \n \n \n \n G<\/mml:mi>\n <\/mml:mrow>\n \n M<\/mml:mi>\n <\/mml:mrow>\n <\/mml:msub>\n <\/mml:mrow>\n <\/mml:math>\n was 65% greater than that of\n \n \n \n \n G<\/mml:mi>\n <\/mml:mrow>\n \n L<\/mml:mi>\n <\/mml:mrow>\n <\/mml:msub>\n <\/mml:mrow>\n <\/mml:math>\n . MUS is more potent than LIPUS in enhancing osteogenesis, neovascularization, and biomechanical strength of femoral head in the animal model of steroid-associated osteonecrosis. Without increasing the intensity of insonation or the risk of tissue damage, MUS is better for inhibiting the process of steroid-associated osteonecrosis.\n
