Vascular endothelial growth factor stimulates chemotactic migration of primary human osteoblasts
U Mayr-Wohlfart,Johannes Waltenberger,H Hausser,S. Kessler,K. P. Günther,Christoph Dehio,Wolfhart Puhl,Rolf E. Brenner +7 more
TL;DR: The data establish that human osteoblasts respond to VEGF-A, suggesting a functional role for this growth factor in bone formation and remodeling.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence of generalised osteoarthritis in patients with advanced hip and knee osteoarthritis: The Ulm Osteoarthritis Study
K. P. Günther,Til Stürmer,S Sauerland,I Zeissig,Y. Sun,S. Kessler,H.-P. Scharf,Hermann Brenner,Wolfhart Puhl +8 more
TL;DR: The crude results confirm previous reports as well as the clinical impression of GOA being more prevalent in patients with advanced knee OA than in patientsWith advanced hip OA, but these different patterns might be attributed to a large part to a different distribution of age and sex in these hospital based populations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Severity and extent of osteoarthritis and low grade systemic inflammation as assessed by high sensitivity C reactive protein
TL;DR: Severity of pain, but not extent of OA, was associated with hsCRP levels in this group of patients with advanced OA and longitudinal studies with repeated assessments of hs CRP and pain are needed to assess the possible value of h sCRP for monitoring or predicting the clinical course of O a.
Journal ArticleDOI
International variation in hip replacement rates
Henrike Merx,Karsten Dreinhöfer,P. Schräder,Til Stürmer,Wolfhart Puhl,K. P. Günther,Hermann Brenner +6 more
TL;DR: The reported differences in hip replacement rates in OECD countries are substantial and may be due to various causes, including different coding systems, country-specific differences in the healthcare system, in total expenditure on health per capita, in the population age structure, and in different indication criteria for THR.
