The pro-inflammatory phase of bone healing, initiated by platelet activation and eventually hematoma formation, impacts bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) in unknown ways. Here, we created platelet-rich plasma (PRP) hydrogels to study how platelet-derived factors modulate functional properties of encapsulated MSCs in comparison to a non-inflammatory fibrin (FBR) hydrogel environment. MSCs were isolated from human bone marrow, while PRP was collected from pooled apheresis thrombocyte concentrates and used for hydrogel preparation. After their encapsulation in hydrogels for 72 h, retrieved MSCs were analyzed for immunomodulatory activities, apoptosis, stem cell properties, senescence, CD9\(^+\), CD63\(^+\) and CD81\(^+\) extracellular vesicle (EV) release, and metabolism-related changes. PRP-hydrogels stimulated immunosuppressive functions of MSCs, along with their upregulated susceptibility to cell death in communication with PBMCs and augmented caspase 3/7 activity. We found impaired clonal growth and cell cycle progression, and more pronounced β-galactosidase activity as well as accumulation of LC3-II-positive vacuoles in PRP-MSCs. Stimuli derived from PRP-hydrogels upregulated AKT and reduced mTOR phosphorylation in MSCs, which suggests an initiation of survival-related processes. Our results showed that PRP-hydrogels might represent a metabolically stressful environment, inducing acidification of MSCs, reducing polarization of the mitochondrial membrane and increasing lipid accumulation. These features were not detected in FBR-MSCs, which showed reduced CD63\(^+\) and CD81\(^+\) EV production and maintained clonogenicity. Our data revealed that PRP-derived hematoma components cause metabolic adaptation of MSCs followed by increased immune regulatory functions. For the first time, we showed that PRP stimuli represent a survival challenge and “apoptotic priming” that are detrimental for stem cell-like growth of MSCs and important for their therapeutic consideration.
Lower limb bone geometry in adult individuals with X-linked hypophosphatemia: an observational study
(2022)
Summary
We assessed lower-limb geometry in adults with X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) and controls. We found large differences in multiple measures including femoral and tibial torsion, bowing and cross-sectional area and acetabular version and coverage which may contribute to clinical problems such as osteoarthritis, fractures and altered gait common in XLH.
Purpose
Individuals with X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) are at risk of lower-limb deformities and early onset of osteoarthritis. These two factors may be linked, as altered biomechanics is a risk factor for osteoarthritis. This exploratory evaluation aims at providing clues and concepts for this association to facilitate future larger-scale and longitudinal studies on that aspect.
Methods
For this observational study, 13 patients with XLH, aged 18–65 years (6 female), were compared with sex-, age- and weight-matched healthy individuals at a single German research centre. Femoral and hip joint geometry, including femoral and tibial torsion and femoral and tibial shaft bowing, bone cross-sectional area (CSA) and acetabular version and coverage were measured from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans.
Results
Total femoral torsion was 29° lower in individuals with XLH than in controls (p < 0.001), mainly resulting from lower intertrochanteric torsion (ITT) (p < 0.001). Femoral lateral and frontal bowing, tibial frontal bowing, mechanical axis, femoral mechanical–anatomical angle, acetabular version and acetabular coverage were all greater and tibial torsion lower in individuals with XLH as compared to controls (all p < 0.05). Greater femoral total and marrow cavity CSA, greater tibial marrow cavity CSA and lower cortical CSA were observed in XLH (all p < 0.05).
Discussion
We observed large differences in clinically relevant measures of tibia and particularly femur bone geometry in individuals with XLH compared to controls. These differences may plausibly contribute to clinical manifestations of XLH such as early-onset osteoarthritis, pseudofractures and altered gait and therefore should be considered when planning corrective surgeries.
In total knee arthroplasty (TKA), functional knee phenotypes are of interest regarding surgical alignment strategies. Functional knee phenotypes were introduced in 2019 and consist of limb, femoral, and tibial phenotypes. The hypothesis of this study was that mechanically aligned (MA) TKA changes preoperative functional phenotypes, which decreases the 1-year Forgotten Joint (FJS) and Oxford Knee Score (OKS) and increases the 1-year WOMAC. All patients included in this study had end-stage osteoarthritis and were treated with a primary MA TKA, which was supervised by four academic knee arthroplasty specialists. To determine the limb, femoral, and tibial phenotype, a long-leg radiograph (LLR) was imaged preoperatively and two to three days after TKA. FJS, OKS, and WOMAC were obtained 1 year after TKA. Patients were categorized using the change in functional limb, femoral, and tibial phenotype measured on LLR, and the scores were compared between the different categories. A complete dataset of preoperative and postoperative scores and radiographic images could be obtained for 59 patients. 42% of these patients had a change of limb phenotype, 41% a change of femoral phenotype, and 24% a change of tibial phenotype of more than ±1 relative to the preoperative phenotype. Patients with more than ±1 change of limb phenotype had significantly lower median FJS (27 points) and OKS (31 points) and higher WOMAC scores (30 points) relative to the 59-, 41-, and 4-point scores of those with a 0 ± 1 change (p < 0.0001 to 0.0048). Patients with a more than ±1 change of femoral phenotype had significantly lower median FJS (28 points) and OKS (32 points) and higher WOMAC scores (24 points) relative to the 69-, 40-, and 8-point scores of those with a 0 ± 1 change (p < 0.0001). A change in tibial phenotype had no effect on the FJS, OKS, and WOMAC scores. Surgeons performing MA TKA could consider limiting coronal alignment corrections of the limb and femoral joint line to within one phenotype to reduce the risk of low patient-reported satisfaction and function at 1-year.
Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) in isolated medial or lateral osteoarthritis leads to good clinical results. However, revision rates are higher in comparison to total knee arthroplasty (TKA). One reason is suboptimal fitting of conventional off-the-shelf prostheses, and major overhang of the tibial component over the bone has been reported in up to 20% of cases. In this retrospective study, a total of 537 patient-specific UKAs (507 medial prostheses and 30 lateral prostheses) that had been implanted in 3 centers over a period of 10 years were analyzed for survival, with a minimal follow-up of 1 year (range 12 to 129 months). Furthermore, fitting of the UKAs was analyzed on postoperative X-rays, and tibial overhang was quantified. A total of 512 prostheses were available for follow-up (95.3%). Overall survival rate (medial and lateral) of the prostheses after 5 years was 96%. The 30 lateral UKAs showed a survival rate of 100% at 5 years. The tibial overhang of the prosthesis was smaller than 1 mm in 99% of cases. In comparison to the reported results in the literature, our data suggest that the patient-specific implant design used in this study is associated with an excellent midterm survival rate, particularly in the lateral knee compartment, and confirms excellent fitting.
Background
The aim of this study was to review the patient rated outcome (PROM) of surgically treated fractures to the lateral process of the talus (LPTF) and identify factors influencing the outcome.
Methods
Retrospective study with a current follow-up. Eligible were all patients treated surgically for a LPTF (n = 23) with a minimum follow-up of one year. Demographics, medical history, trauma mechanism, fracture characteristics, concomitant injuries, treatment details, complications, return to work and sports were assessed retrospectively. The current follow-up included the VAS FA, Karlsson Score, and SF-12. The primary outcome was the VAS FA. Secondary aim was the identification of parameters influencing the PROMs.
Results
22 patients (96% follow-up) with a mean age of 32 ± 9 (18 to 49) years were included. 73% suffered a Hawkins Type 1, 23% a Type 2, and one patient a Type 3 fracture. 82% suffered concomitant injuries. 9% suffered minor surgical side infections, 50% developed symptomatic subtalar osteoarthritis. At final follow-up (44 ± 2 (12 to 97) months), the mean VAS FA Overall was 77 ± 21 (20 to 100), the Karlsson Score 72 ± 21 (34 to 97), and for the SF 12 the PCS 53 ± 8 (36 to 64) and the MCS 53 ± 7 (32 to 63). 50% of patients returned to their previous level of sports. Hawkins Type 1 fractures resulted in better VAS FA Overall score than Type 2 fractures. Posttraumatic subtalar osteoarthritis was the independent factor associated to a poor patient rated outcome (VAS FA, Karlsson Score).
Conclusion
After a follow-up of over 3.5 years, surgically treated LPTF resulted in only moderate results. 50% suffered posttraumatic symptomatic subtalar osteoarthritis, which was the primary independent parameter for a poor outcome following LPTF.

Hypophosphatasie (HPP) beschreibt eine seltene Erbkrankheit, die hauptsächlich durch heterozygote Mutationen im ALPL-Gen verursacht wird. Diese führen zu einer verminderten Aktivität der gewebeunspezifischen alkalischen Phosphatase (TNAP). Neben skelettalen Symptomen sind Zahnanomalien wie der vorzeitige Verlust von Milchzähnen ohne resorbierte Wurzel sowie eine gestörte Mineralisierung der Zahnhart-substanzen ein typisches Merkmal der HPP. Die zugrunde liegenden molekularen Mechanismen sind bisher noch nicht vollständig verstanden.
In der vorliegenden Arbeit wurden Zelllinien des parodontalen Ligaments mit Mutationen im ALPL-Gen charakterisiert, um anschließend mögliche Therapiestrategien für die HPP auf molekularer Ebene zu untersuchen.
Im Rahmen der basalen Charakterisierung wurden die Zelllinien hinsichtlich der TNAP-Expression (Immunhistochemie, Western Blot), des Stoffwechselprofils (ATP-Assay) und des osteogenen Differenzierungspotenzials (Alizarin-Färbung) analysiert. Von Interesse war auch, ob durch CRISPR/Cas9-basiertes Genediting Off-Target Mutationen entstanden sind. Zur Untersuchung der molekularen Auswirkungen von PTH, welches die ALPL-Expression steigern kann, wurden zwei Protokolle etabliert, die eine kontinuier-liche, kurzzeitige bzw. intermittierende Präsenz von PTH in-vitro imitieren. Anschließend wurde die ALPL-Expression (qPCR) sowie TNAP-Aktivität (CSPD-Assay) ermittelt.
Die basale TNAP-Expression war variabel und reichte vom völligen Fehlen in den Zell-linien mit Deletionen bis hin zu einer starken TNAP-Expression in der Zelllinie mit einer heterogenen Punktmutation. Eine niedrige Expression ging mit einer verringerten Zell-proliferation sowie extrazellulären ATP einher. Es zeigte sich ein unterschiedliches Mineralisierungspotenzial, das hauptsächlich das TNAP-Expressionsniveau in den verschiedenen Zelllinien widerspiegelt, während die PTH-Stimulation keine Wirkung auf die Differenzierung hatte. Im Gegensatz zu klinischen Beobachtungen deuten die Ergebnisse auf eine hohe Korrelation zwischen Genotyp und Phänotyp in-vitro hin, die in-vivo noch bestätigt werden müssen. Die Sequenzierung bestätigte, dass durch die Geneditierung keine Off-Target Mutationen aufgetreten sind, welche somit keinen limitierenden Faktor hinsichtlich der Differenzierungskapazität darstellen können.
Die Stimulation mit PTH führte zwar nicht zu einer gesteigerten ALPL-Expression, doch konnte die TNAP-Aktivität in den ALPL-defizienten Zelllinien punktuell gesteigert werden und bildet somit eine solide Basis für weitere Experimente, die zur Therapieentwicklung für die Odonto-HPP beitragen können.
Background and Objectives: Currently, the worldwide incidence of major amputations in the general population is decreasing whereas the incidence of minor amputations is increasing. The purpose of our study was to analyze whether this trend is reflected among orthopaedic patients treated with lower extremity amputation in our orthopaedic university institution. Materials and Methods: We conducted a single-center retrospective study and included patients referred to our orthopaedic department for lower extremity amputation (LEA) between January 2007 and December 2019. Acquired data were the year of amputation, age, sex, level of amputation and cause of amputation. T test and Chi² test were performed to compare age and amputation rates between males and females; significance was defined as p < 0.05. Linear regression and multivariate logistic regression models were used to test time trends and to calculate probabilities for LEA. Results: A total of 114 amputations of the lower extremity were performed, of which 60.5% were major amputations. The number of major amputations increased over time with a rate of 0.6 amputation/year. Men were significantly more often affected by LEA than women. Age of LEA for men was significantly below the age of LEA for women (men: 54.8 ± 2.8 years, women: 64.9 ± 3.2 years, p = 0.021). Main causes leading to LEA were tumors (28.9%) and implant-associated complications (25.4%). Implant-associated complications and age raised the probability for major amputation, whereas malformation, angiopathies and infections were more likely to cause a minor amputation. Conclusions: Among patients in our orthopaedic institution, etiology of amputations of the lower extremity is multifactorial and differs from other surgical specialties. The number of major amputations has increased continuously over the past years. Age and sex, as well as diagnosis, influence the type and level of amputation.
Medical tourism is a rapidly growing sector of economic growth and diversification. However, data on the demographics and characteristics of the traveling patients are sparse. In this study, we analyzed the common demographic properties and characteristics of the inbound medical tourists seeking orthopedic medical care in Germany for the years 2010 to 2019 compared to a domestic group. At the same time, we examined how the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak of 2020 changed the field of medical tourism in Germany. Calculations were performed using administrative hospital data provided by the Federal Statistical Department of Germany. Data were analyzed from the years 2010 to 2020. A total of six elective orthopedic surgery codes (bone biopsy, knee arthroplasty, foot surgery, osteotomy, hardware removal, and arthrodesis) were identified as key service indicators for medical tourism and further analyzed. Factors including residence, sex, year, and type of elective surgery were modeled using linear regression analysis. Age and sex distributions were compared between patients living inside Germany (DE) or outside Germany (non-DE). Between 2010 and 2020, 6,261,801 orthopedic procedures were coded for the DE group and 27,420 key procedures were identified for the non-DE group. Medical tourists were predominantly male and significantly younger than the domestic population. The linear regression analysis of the OPS codes over the past years showed a significantly different slope between the DE and non-DE groups only for the OPS code “hardware removal”. With the COVID-19 pandemic, an overall decline in performed orthopedic procedures was observed for the non-DE and the DE group. A significant reduction below the 95% prediction bands for the year 2020 could be shown for hardware removal and foot surgery (for DE), and for hardware removal, knee arthroplasty, foot surgery, and osteotomy (for non-DE). This study is the first to quantify inbound medical tourism in elective orthopedic surgery in Germany. The COVID-19 pandemic negatively affected many — but not all — areas of orthopedic surgery. It has to be seen how this negative trend will develop in the future.
Alignment strategies for primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) have changed significantly over time with a shift towards a more individualized alignment goal. At the same time, computer-assisted surgery (CAS) has gained interest for intraoperative control and accuracy in implant positioning and limb alignment. Despite the often discussed benefits and drawbacks of robotics and navigation for TKA, the routine use of these new devices on a day-to-day basis remains obscure. Therefore, nationwide hospital billing data based on the Operation Procedure Classification System (OPS) were retrieved from the Federal Statistical Office of Germany for the period from 2010 to 2021. OPS codes for primary total knee arthroplasty (OPS code: 5-822*) were further analyzed regarding the usage of computer navigation (additional OPS code: 5-988) or robotic devices (additional OPS code: 5-987). Gender and age at the time of surgery were also assessed. The results show a total of 2,226,559 primary TKAs were implanted between 2010 and 2021, of which 2,044,914 were performed conventionally (91.84% of all TKAs). A total of 170,276 TKAs were performed using navigation technique (7.65% of all TKAs) and another 11,369 TKAs were performed using robotics (0.51% of all TKAs). For the period from 2018 to 2021, a substantial increase in robot-assisted TKA (R-TKA) was observed, with an average increase rate of 84.74% per year, while the number of navigated TKAs declined (−3.67% per year). Computer-assisted surgery, and particularly robotics for TKA, are seeing growing popularity and stepwise translation into routine clinical use in Germany, with a steep increase rate of more than 80% per year since 2018. Nevertheless, the majority of TKAs are still performed using manual instrumentation, rendering conventional TKA the currently unchanged gold standard.
Aufgrund der immer älterwerdenden Bevölkerung kommt der Prävention von altersbedingten muskuloskelettalen Erkrankungen wie der Osteoporose und der Sarkopenie eine herausragende Bedeutung zu. Insbesondere für die Sarkopenie gibt es heute und auf absehbare Zeit keine kausale medikamentöse Therapie. Somit stellt der Erhalt einer intakten Muskulatur durch körperliche Aktivität die zentrale Säule für eine langfristig muskuloskelettale Gesundheit dar. Die aktuelle, wissenschaftliche Datenlage zeigt hierbei für progressives Krafttraining im Alter valide Ergebnisse. Durch die gezielte Beanspruchung der Muskulatur kann bis ins hohe Alter dem natürlichen Verlust der Muskelmasse und -qualität entgegengewirkt werden. Ein gezieltes Training der Wirbelsäule-umgebenden Muskulatur ist vor allem bei Menschen mit Osteoporose sinnvoll. Durch starke Rückenmuskeln werden wichtige Alltagsbewegungen unterstützt und das Sturzrisiko kann reduziert werden. Ein klassisches progressives Krafttraining ist jedoch bei älteren Menschen nicht immer durchführbar, da diese oft an zusätzlichen Erkrankungen leiden, welche ein intensives Krafttraining verbieten, oder allgemein zu schwach für eine solche Trainingsmodalität sind. Ziel dieser Studie war zusätzlich zum Krafttraining alternative Trainingsmethoden zu testen, welche einfach und sicher im Alter integrierbar sind und keine sportlichen Vorkenntnisse der Teilnehmer erfordern. Im Fokus stand dabei die Kräftigung der Rumpfmuskulatur. Alternativ zum klassischen, progressivem Krafttraining (KT) wurden daher sogenannte Low-Impact-Methoden getestet, konkret handelte es sich dabei um Ganzkörpervibrationstraining (WBV), das tägliche Tragen einer federnden Rückenorthese (OT) und Qi Gong (QG) als atmungs- und bewegungsorientiertes Konzept.
Das Krafttraining zeigte dabei die größten Verbesserungen in der Rumpfkraft, dem primären Endpunkt der Studie. Bei der Extensionskraft zeigte sich eine Zunahme von 28,0%. (p=0,008) und bei der Flexionskraft von 17,2% (p=0,008). Doch auch das WBV-Training und das Tragen der Rückenorthese zeigten Verbesserungen der Rumpfkraft. Das QG-Training zeigte kaum Veränderungen der Rumpfkraft. Im Gruppenvergleich war die KT-Gruppe der QG-Gruppe in der Entwicklung der Extensionskraft signifikant überlegen. Auch wenn die alternativen Trainingsmethoden keine signifikanten Ergebnisse im primären Endpunkt dieser Studie zeigten, kam es zu signifikanten Verbesserungen in den sekundären Endpunkten. In der WBV-Gruppe kam es zu einem signifikanten Anstieg der Handkraft (p=0,023) und im CRT (p=0,007). In der OT-Gruppe war der CRT signifikant besser geworden (p=0,003). In der QG-Gruppe kam es zu tendenziellen Verbesserungen einiger Leistungsparameter, jedoch waren diese statistisch überwiegend nicht signifikant. Ein wesentlicher Aspekt dieser Arbeit war jedoch, dass unabhängig von der jeweiligen Trainingsmodalität, vor allem die Teilnehmer, die ein erhöhtes Risiko für muskuläre Defizite hatten, also Probanden ≥80 Jahre, Menschen mit präsarkopenem Muskelstatus, oder multimorbide Teilnehmer, am meisten von den Trainingsinterventionen profitierten. Hier fiel vor allem die signifikante Zunahme der Rumpfflexion in allen drei Subgruppen auf. Bei den Probanden ≥80 Jahren kam es in der Rumpfflexion zu einer Zunahme von 10,3% (p=0,017), bei den präsarkopenen Probanden von 2,9% (p=0,035) und bei den Multimorbiden von 16,3% (p=0,001). Eine starke Rumpfvorderseite führt zu einer aufrechten Haltung, ermöglicht Alltagsaktivitäten wie Treppensteigen oder das Aufstehen von einem Stuhl und kann durch eine verbesserte Balance das Sturzrisiko vermindern. Bedeutsam ist auch, dass die Muskelmasse bei den präsarkopenen Probanden, unabhängig vom Training, signifikant gestiegen war und somit Sport auch bei einer reduzierten Muskelmasse sehr effektiv sein kann. Zudem verbesserte sich der CRT bei den präsarkopenen und multimorbiden Probanden signifikant, was umso erfreulicher ist, bedenkt man die Assoziation mit einer reduzierten Fähigkeit von einem Stuhl aufzustehen und einer erhöhten Mortalität. Schlussendlich zeigen die Ergebnisse dieser Studie, dass Trainingsmodalitäten, die gezielt die Rumpfmuskulatur adressieren, wie z.B. ein speziell zusammengestelltes Krafttraining, auch in höherem Alter und bei Vorliegen eines erhöhten Frakturrisikos positive Effekte erzielen und zu signifikanten Verbesserungen der Rumpfkraft führen können. Allerdings zeigen auch weniger spezifische low-impact Trainingskonzepte durchaus positive Entwicklungen und stellen vor allem eine sichere Alternative mit nur geringem Anforderungsprofil dar. Besonders erfreulich scheint vor allem die Verbesserung der Parameter der Probanden mit einem erhöhten Risiko für muskuläre Defizite unabhängig von der zugelosten Trainingsintervention. Diese Ergebnisse stellen eine wertvolle Grundlage für zukünftige Forschungsvorhaben dar, welchen unter Berücksichtigung der globalen demographischen Entwicklungen sicherlich erhebliche Bedeutung zukommen wird.
Untersucht wurde der Einfluss mehrerer Chemotherapeutika auf den Chemokinrezeptor CXCR4 in
Myelomzelllinien auf Ebene des Promotors, der mRNA und der Rezeptorverteilung, wobei drei
Substanzen (Etoposid, Bortezomib und Dexamethason) als potenzielle Suppressoren des Promotors ausgemacht werden konnten. Abhängig vom Myelom-Zelltyp und der Dosierung können so evtl.
Rückschlüsse auf die beobachtete Suppression von CXCR4 bei erkrankten Patienten mit hoher CXCR4-Aktivität (hier: Malignes Myelom) durch die begleitende Chemotherapie gezogen werden, welche eine Diagnostik und Therapie bei diesen Patienten erschwert.
Hintergrund: Hintergrund für diese Arbeit waren Beobachtungen in klinischen Fallstudien von Lapa et al. am Universitätsklinikum Würzburg, die sich auf CXCR4 bezogen, welches u.a. bei Patienten mit
Multiplem Myelom überexprimiert wird und dadurch bereits als Target für Diagnostik und Therapie in der Klinik Anwendung findet. Dabei konnte bei PET-CT Untersuchungen in der Nuklearmedizin beobachtet werden, dass es durch die begleitende Chemotherapie der Patienten zu einer Suppression des markierten CXCR4-Signals kam, so dass es nicht mehr zur Verlaufsbeobachtung und
vor allem nicht mehr zur Radiotherapie und Therapiekontrolle verwendet werden konnte.
Um den Einfluss und mögliche Interaktionen der Chemotherapeutika auf CXCR4 zu untersuchen, war es Ziel dieser Arbeit, ein vergleichbares Szenario in-vitro nachzustellen und Einflüsse messbar zu
machen, um so mögliche Ansätze und Verbesserungsvorschläge für die klinische Anwendung zu
liefern.
Methoden/Ergebnisse: Hierfür wurden im ersten Teil INA-6 (Myelomzellen) und Mesenchymale
Stammzellen (MSC) kultiviert, in Ko-Kultur gebracht und nach einer bestimmten Zeit wieder getrennt, um anschließend den gegenseitigen Einfluss in Bezug auf CXCR4 zu messen. Zudem wurde der Einfluss von Dexamethason untersucht. Es zeigte sich eine enge Bindung zwischen INA-6 und MSC
sowie eine hohe CXCR4-Aktivität bei INA-6, jedoch konnte keine Induktion der CXCR4-Aktivität in MSC durch INA-6-Kontakt oder Dexamethason quantifiziert werden. Die Immunzytologie erwies sich aufgrund einer schweren Anfärbbarkeit von CXCR4 – auch mit verschiedensten Antikörpern und sogar Liganden-gekoppeltem Farbstoff– als kaum auswertbar, wobei eine Darstellung von CXCR4
generell aber gelang.
Der CXCR4-Promotor wurde mittels Software genauer analysiert, wobei einige relevante Bindestellen, u.a. für Glukokortikoide und NFkB gefunden wurden. Die Herstellung eines CXCR4-
pGl4.14-Promotor-Konstrukts war erfolgreich, ebenso dessen Einschleusung in Myelomzellen. Auch gelang die Herstellung stabiler transfizierter INA-6, sodass mit diesen anschließend konstantere Ergebnisse erzielt werden konnten.
Im größten Teil der Arbeit wurden geeignete Chemotherapeutika-Konzentrationen ermittelt und in Viabilitäts- und Apoptose-Versuchen überprüft. Die Stimulationsversuche mit diesen zeigten variable
Effekte abhängig vom Zelltyp (INA-6, MM1S), jedoch konnten Bortezomib, Etoposid und
Dexamethason konzentrationsabhängig als starke Suppressoren der CXCR4-Aktivität ausgemacht
werden, was sich v.a. auf Ebene der Promotoraktivität – gemessen mittels Luciferase - zeigte. Interpretation: In-vitro konnten somit drei potenzielle Suppressoren der CXCR4-Aktivität ausgemacht
werden: Etoposid, Bortezomib und Dexamethason. Zumindest beim INA-6-Zelltyp fiel dieser Effekt deutlich aus, wobei in der Klinik der entsprechende Zelltyp sowie die Dosierung der Medikamente berücksichtigt werden müssen. Hinzu kommen weitere Einflussfaktoren des menschlichen Körpers,
die nicht berücksichtig werden konnten. Die genauen Mechanismen der Suppression könnten sich aus den Bindestellen des Promotors erklären, die von uns analysiert wurden, aber auf die in weiteren Arbeiten noch näher eingegangen werden muss.
Die Rekonstruktion der Anatomie einer nativen Hüfte sowie deren natürlichen Biomechanik ist eine essenzielle Voraussetzung für eine zufriedenstellende Funktion einer Hüftprothese. Diese Studie beschäftigte sich mit dem Zusammenhang der Veränderung des Femoralen Offsets (FO) und dem klinischen Outcome der Patienten nach Hüftprothesenwechsel.
88 Patienten, welche sich einem Hüftprothesenwechsel unterzogen, wurden untersucht. Es wurden in prä- und postoperativen Beckenübersichtsaufnahmen das Femorale Offset, sowie weitere statische Parameter gemessen und verglichen. Die Ergebnisse wurden mit dem klinischen Outcome korreliert. Dies erfolgte anhand des Harris Hip Score (HHS), der Visuellen Analogskala (VAS) und des Merle d’Aubigne und Postel Score (MdAS).
Bezüglich der Rekonstruktion des FO kam es zu einem zufriedenstellenden Ergebnis. In 22,6% konnte ein gleichgroßes, in 54% ein vergrößertes und in 22% ein verkleiner- tes FO gemessen werden. Das klinische Outcome ergab durchschnittlich ein gutes bis sehr gutes klnisches Ergebnis in allen erhobenen Scores (Gesamtpunktzahl: HHS 75,09; MdAS 14,36; VAS 0,71). Ein signifikant besseres Ergebnis hinsichtlich der Beweglichkeit und Funktionalität wurde bei gleichbleibendem und vergrößertem FO in allen klinischen Tests (VAS, HHS, MdAS) erzielt. Bei verkleinertem FO traten jedoch weniger Schmerzen auf.
Die Rekonstruktion des FO ist nachweislich von Bedeutung für das klinische Outcome nach Hüftprothesenwechsel. Sie beeinflusst den Hebelarm der Muskulatur, was bei einem vergrößertem FO zu einer verbesserten Beweglichkeit und Funktionalität des Gelenkes führt, jedoch auch aufgrund der Dehnung des Bandapparats und der Muskulatur eine vermehrte Schmerzsymptomatik verursachen kann. Die Ergebnisse dieser Arbeit decken sich mit ähnlichen Studien, welche das FO bei primärer H-TEP- Implantation untersuchten.
Active vitamin D (1,25(OH)2D3) is known to exert direct anti-cancer actions on various malignant tissues through binding to the vitamin D receptor (VDR). These effects have been demonstrated in breast, prostate, renal and thyroid cancers, which all have a high propensity to metastasise to bone. In addition, there is evidence that vitamin D catabolism via 24-hydroxylase (CYP24A1) is altered in tumour cells, thus, reducing local active vitamin D levels in cancer cells. The aim of this study was to assess VDR and CYP24A1 expression in various types of bone metastases by using immunohistochemistry. Overall, a high total VDR protein expression was detected in 59% of cases (39/66). There was a non-significant trend of high-grade tumours towards the low nuclear VDR expression (p = 0.07). Notably, patients with further distant metastases had a reduced nuclear VDR expression (p = 0.03). Furthermore, a high CYP24A1 expression was detected in 59% (39/66) of bone metastases. There was a significant positive correlation between nuclear VDR and CYP24A1 expression (p = 0.001). Collectively, the VDR and CYP24A1 were widely expressed in a multitude of bone metastases, pointing to a potential role of vitamin D signalling in cancer progression. This is of high clinical relevance, as vitamin D deficiency is frequent in patients with bone metastases.
Inpatient rehabilitation (IR) is a common postoperative protocol after total knee replacement (TKA). Because IR is expensive and should therefore be justified, this study determined the difference in knee function one year after TKA in patients treated with IR or outpatient rehabilitation, fast-track rehabilitation (FTR) in particular, which also entails a reduced hospital length of stay. A total of 205 patients were included in this multi-center prospective cohort study. Of the patients, 104 had primary TKA at a German university hospital and received IR, while 101 had primary TKA at a Canadian university hospital and received FTR. Patients receiving IR or FTR were matched by pre-operative demographics and knee function. Oxford Knee Score (OKS), Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC), and EuroQol visual analogue scale (EQ-VAS) determined knee function one year after surgery. Patients receiving IR had a 2.8-point lower improvement in OKS (p = 0.001), a 6.7-point lower improvement in WOMAC (p = 0.063), and a 12.3-point higher improvement in EQ-VAS (p = 0.281) than patients receiving FTR. IR does not provide long-term benefits to patient recovery after primary uncomplicated TKA under the current rehabilitation regime.
Background: A concern about kinematically aligned (KA) total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is that it relies on femoral components designed for mechanical alignment (MAd-FC) that could affect patellar tracking, in part, because of a trochlear groove orientation that is typically 6° from vertical. KA sets the femoral component coincident to the patient’s pre-arthritic distal and posterior femoral joint lines and restores the Q-angle, which varies widely. Relative to KA and the native knee, aligning the femoral component with MA changes most distal joint lines and Q-angles, and rotates the posterior joint line externally laterally covering the anterior femoral resection. Whether switching from a MAd- to a KAd-FC with a wider trochlear groove orientation of 20.5° from vertical results in radiographic measures known to promote patellar tracking is unknown. The primary aim was to determine whether a KAd-FC sets the trochlear groove lateral to the quadriceps line of force (QLF), better laterally covers the anterior femoral resection, and reduces lateral patella tilt relative to a MAd-FC. The secondary objective was to determine at six weeks whether the KAd-FC resulted in a higher complication rate, less knee extension and flexion, and lower clinical outcomes. Methods: Between April 2019 and July 2022, two surgeons performed sequential bilateral unrestricted caliper-verified KA TKA with manual instruments on thirty-six patients with a KAd- and MAd-FC in opposite knees. An observer measured the angle between a line best-fit to the deepest valley of the trochlea and a line representing the QLF that indicated the patient’s Q-angle. When the trochlear groove was lateral or medial relative to the QLF, the angle is denoted + or −, and the femoral component included or excluded the patient’s Q-angle, respectively. Software measured the lateral undercoverage of the anterior femoral resection on a Computed Tomography (CT) scan, and the patella tilt angle (PTA) on a skyline radiograph. Complications, knee extension and flexion measurements, Oxford Knee Score, KOOS Jr, and Forgotten Joint Score were recorded pre- and post-operatively (at 6 weeks). A paired Student’s T-test determined the difference between the KA TKAs with a KAd-FC and MAd-FC with a significance set at p < 0.05. Results: The final analysis included thirty-five patients. The 20.5° trochlear groove of the KAd-FC was lateral to the QLF in 100% (15 ± 3°) of TKAs, which was greater than the 69% (1 ± 3°) lateral to the QLF with the 6° trochlear groove of the MAd-FC (p < 0.001). The KAd-FC’s 2 ± 1.9 mm lateral undercoverage of the anterior femoral resection was less than the 4.4 ± 1.5 mm for the MAd-FC (p < 0.001). The PTA, complication rate, knee extension and flexion, and clinical outcome measures did not differ between component designs. Conclusions: The KA TKA with a KAd-FC resulted in a trochlear groove lateral to the QLF that included the Q-angle in all patients, and negligible lateral undercoverage of the anterior femoral resection. These newly described radiographic parameters could be helpful when investigating femoral components designed for KA with the intent of promoting patellofemoral kinematics.
Humane mesenchymale Stromazellen sind in der Lage in osteogene Zellen zu differenzieren, und für diese osteogene Differenzierung ist mechanische Belastung ein relevanter Kostimulus. Mechanotransduktion hat zur Folge, dass second messenger wie cAMP und cGMP gebildet werden und sich die Ca2+-Konzentration erhöht, welche wiederum Transkriptionsfaktoren aktivieren, die die Regulation von Genen osteogener Marker vermitteln. Die second messenger cAMP und cGMP werden abgebaut durch Phosphodiesterasen, jedoch ist die Rolle dieser Phosphodiesterasen während der osteogenen Differenzierung oder Mechanotransduktion weiterhin unklar.
Das Ziel dieser Arbeit war es, herauszufinden, inwieweit im Besonderen die Phosphodiesterase 10A einen Einfluss nimmt auf die osteogene Differenzierung und die Mechanotransduktion von mesenchymalen Stromazellen und inwiefern sie dabei die cAMP-abhängigen Signalwege moduliert. Langfristig soll hiermit herausgefunden wer-den, welche Bedeutung die PDE10A auf altersinduzierte Krankheiten hat, wobei der Fokus zunächst auf der Osteoporose liegen soll.
Um dies zu erreichen, wurden experimentelle Versuche zunächst mit HEK293- und hMSC-TERT-Zellen als Modell für mesenchymale Stromazellen durchgeführt, dann auch mit den mesenchymalen Stromazellen selbst. Untersucht wurde der Einfluss des PDE10A-Inhibitors Papaverin auf die Zellen und auf deren mechanische Induzierbarkeit, sowieso auf die osteogene Differenzierung der hMSC. Außerdem wurden weitere mechanische Versuche durchgeführt, zur Überprüfung des Effekts der Phosphodiesterase 10A.
Es wurde beobachtet, dass die Inhibierung von PDE10A mit Papaverin die osteogene Differenzierung und Mineralisierung vermindert. Außerdem gab es einen ersten Hinweis, dass eine Überexpression von PDE10A schwächenden Einfluss nimmt auf die Expression mechanoresponsiver Gene.
Nachfolgend auf diese Arbeit wurde erkannt, dass die Expression von mechanoresponsiven Genen durch die PDE10A-Inhibition unterdrückt wird.
Die AC-Sprengung ist eine weit verbreitete Verletzung des Schultergürtels und am häufigsten auf einen Sportunfall vorwiegend junger Männer zurückzuführen. Die optimale Therapie wird kontrovers diskutiert, keine der rund 150 OP-Methoden hat sich bisher als den anderen überlegen erwiesen. Allerdings gelten Operationen, bei denen das AC-Gelenk temporär durch eine intramedulläre Schienung per Kirschner-Draht ruhiggestellt wird, als sehr zuverlässig. Sie sind aufgrund einer sehr variablen Anatomie jedoch auch für erfahrene Operateure technisch anspruchsvoll. Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es daher, mithilfe der gewonnenen Kenntnisse zur idealen Lage eines K-Drahtes das operative Vorgehen zur temporären Transfixation des ACGs künftig durch eine gezieltere Platzierung zu erleichtern, somit die Operationsmethode zu optimieren und folglich das Outcome zu verbessern.
Für diese Arbeit wurden bereits vorliegende anonymisierte computertomographische Daten gesunder AC-Gelenke nach ihrer physiologischen Anatomie sowie der Lage eines virtuell ideal platzierten transartikulären K-Drahtes ausgewertet. Hierfür wurden CT-Daten von insgesamt 66 Schultern herangezogen, der Epidemiologie der AC-Sprengung entsprechend waren hiervon 59 Patienten und 7 Patientinnen zuzuordnen.
Die erhobenen Daten zeigen, dass die Lage des Eintrittspunktes idealerweise durch den orthogonalen Abstand des Drahtes zur Acromionspitze definiert wird und durchschnittlich 12,89 mm beträgt. Er ist primär abhängig von der Körpergröße und kann daher präoperativ anhand einer Regressionsgeraden individuell für jeden Patienten bestimmt werden.
Der Drahtverlauf sollte primär durch Zielen auf den markierten Austrittspunkt definiert werden. Das Abschätzen der Bohrrichtung anhand von Winkeln erscheint nahezu unmöglich.
Die Drahtlänge beläuft sich im Mittel auf 58,06 mm. Je kleiner der AC-Winkel ist, desto steiler und auch kürzer zeigt sich der Drahtverlauf.
Die Lage des Austrittspunktes korreliert ebenfalls signifikant mit dem AC-Winkel und kann daher nach erfolgter Winkelmessung im Röntgenbild anhand einer Regressionsgeraden abgelesen werden. Der mithilfe der Daten ermittelte Austrittspunkt eines ideal platzierten K-Drahtes befindet sich durchschnittlich auf Höhe des lateralen Claviculawinkels und somit auf Höhe der CC-Bänder.
Bei der nur geringen Fallzahl weiblicher Patienten besteht eine noch eingeschränkte Aussagekraft bezüglich geschlechtsabhängiger Lageunterschiede. Nach bisher vorliegenden Daten kann eine geschlechtsunabhängige OP-Planung erfolgen. Relevante ACG-Typ abhängige Lageunterschiede konnten ebenfalls nicht festgestellt werden, eine präoperative Bestimmung des anatomischen ACG-Typs ist daher nicht erforderlich.
Die erhobenen Daten deuten darauf hin, dass die ideale Drahtplatzierung unter Einhaltung aller Drahtlagekriterien nicht immer möglich ist. Betroffen sind kleine Patienten (Grenzwert: 158,6 cm Körpergröße), bei denen der Mindestabstand zur Acromionspitze nicht sichergestellt werden kann. Zudem besteht bei Patienten mit einem kleinen AC-Winkel (Grenzwert: 156,2°) das Risiko, die Mindestdrahtlänge innerhalb der Clavicula zu unterschreiten. In diesen Fällen muss entweder dezent von der idealen Drahtlage abgewichen oder auf ein alternatives OP-Verfahren ausgewichen werden.
This work developed during the first funding period of the subproject B05 in the framework of the interdisciplinary research consortium TRR 225 ‘From the Fundamentals of Biofabrication toward functional Tissue Models’ and was part of a cooperation between the Orthopedic Department represented by Prof. Dr. Regina Ebert and the Institute of Organic Chemistry represented by Prof. Dr. Jürgen Seibel.
This project dealed with cellular behavior during the bioprinting process and how to influence it by modifying the cell glycocalyx with functional target molecules. The focus was on the impact of potential shear stress, that cells experience when they get processed in thermoresponsive bioinks, and a way to increase the cell stiffness via metabolic glycoengineering to attenuate shear forces. For the characterization of the metabolic glycoengineering, four different peracetylated and four non-acetylated modified monosaccharides (two mannose and two sialic acid sugars) were tested in primary human mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSC) and telomerase-immortalized hMSC (hMSC-TERT). Viability results demonstrated a dose-dependent correlation for all sugars, at which hMSC-TERT seemed to be more susceptible leading to lower viability rates. The assessment of the incorporation efficiencies was performed by click chemistry using fluorescent dyes and revealed also a dose-dependent correlation for all mannose and sialic acid sugars, while glucose and galactose variants were not detected in the glycocalyx. However, incorporation efficiencies were highest when using mannose sugars in the primary hMSC. A subsequent analysis of the temporal retention of the incorporated monosaccharides showed a constant declining fluorescence signal up to 6 d for azido mannose in hMSC-TERT, whereas no signal could be detected for alkyne mannose after 2 d. Investigation of the differentiation potential and expression of different target genes revealed no impairment after incubation with mannose sugars, indicating a normal phenotype for hMSC-TERT. Following the successful establishment of the method, either a coumarin derivative or an artificial galectin 1 ligand were incorporated into the cell glycocalyx of hMSC-TERT as functional target molecule. The biophysical analysis via shear flow deformation cytometry revealed a slightly increased cell stiffness and lowered fluidity for both molecules. A further part of this project aimed to control lectin-mediated cell adhesion by artificial galectin 1 ligands. As that hypothesis was settled in the work group of Prof. Dr. Jürgen Seibel, this work supported with an initial characterization of galectin 1 as part of the hMSC biology. A stable galectin 1 expression at gene and protein level in both hMSC and hMSC-TERT could be confirmed, at which immunocytochemical stainings could detect the protein only in the glycocalyx. The treatment of hMSC-TERT with a galectin 1 ligand in different concentrations did not show an altered gene expression of galectin 1. However, these first data in addition to the investigation of stiffness confirmed the applicability of specific and artificial

galectin 1 ligands in biofabrication approaches to alter cell properties of hMSC. To conclude, metabolic glycoengineering has been successfully implemented in hMSC and hMSC-TERT to introduce glycocalyx modifications which reside there for several days. A proof of concept was carried out by the increase of cell stiffness and fluidity by the incorporation of a coumarin derivative or an artificial galectin 1 ligand.
For the characterization of shear stress impact on cells after printing in thermoresponsive bioinks, the processing of hMSC-TERT (mixing or additionally printing) with Pluronic F127 or Polyoxazoline-Polyoxazine (POx-POzi) polymer solution was investigated. While there were no changes in viability when using POx-POzi bioink, processing with Pluronic F127 indicated slightly lower viability and increased apoptosis activity. Assessment of cellular responses to potential shear stress showed no reorganization of the cytoskeleton independent of the bioink, but highly increased expression of the mechanoresponsive proto-oncogene c Fos which was more pronounced when using Pluronic F127 and just mixed with the bioinks. Interestingly, processing of the mechanoresponsive reporter cell line hMSC-TERT-AP1 revealed slightly elevated mechanotransduction activity when using POx-POzi polymer and just mixed with the bioinks as well. In conclusion, hMSC-TERT embedded in thermoresponsive bioinks might shortly experience shear stress during the printing process, but that did not lead to remarkable cell damage likely due to the rheological properties of the bioinks. Furthermore, the printing experiments also suggested that cells do not sense more shear stress when additionally printed.
Testosterone deficiency in males is linked to various pathological conditions, including muscle and bone loss. This study evaluated the potential of different training modalities to counteract these losses in hypogonadal male rats. A total of 54 male Wistar rats underwent either castration (ORX, n = 18) or sham castration (n = 18), with 18 castrated rats engaging in uphill, level, or downhill interval treadmill training. Analyses were conducted at 4, 8, and 12 weeks postsurgery. Muscle force of the soleus muscle, muscle tissue samples, and bone characteristics were analyzed. No significant differences were observed in cortical bone characteristics. Castrated rats experienced decreased trabecular bone mineral density compared to sham-operated rats. However, 12 weeks of training increased trabecular bone mineral density, with no significant differences among groups. Muscle force measurements revealed decreased tetanic force in castrated rats at week 12, while uphill and downhill interval training restored force to sham group levels and led to muscle hypertrophy compared to ORX animals. Linear regression analyses showed a positive correlation between bone biomechanical characteristics and muscle force. The findings suggest that running exercise can prevent bone loss in osteoporosis, with similar bone restoration effects observed across different training modalities.
Self-assembling three-dimensional organoids that do not rely on an exogenous scaffold but maintain their native cell-to-cell and cell-to-matrix interactions represent a promising model in the field of tendon tissue engineering. We have identified dermal fibroblasts (DFs) as a potential cell type for generating functional tendon-like tissue. The glucocorticoid dexamethasone (DEX) has been shown to regulate cell proliferation and facilitate differentiation towards other mesenchymal lineages. Therefore, we hypothesized that the administration of DEX could reduce excessive DF proliferation and thus, facilitate the tenogenic differentiation of DFs using a previously established 3D organoid model combined with dose-dependent application of DEX. Interestingly, the results demonstrated that DEX, in all tested concentrations, was not sufficient to notably induce the tenogenic differentiation of human DFs and DEX-treated organoids did not have clear advantages over untreated control organoids. Moreover, high concentrations of DEX exerted a negative impact on the organoid phenotype. Nevertheless, the expression profile of tendon-related genes of untreated and 10 nM DEX-treated DF organoids was largely comparable to organoids formed by tendon-derived cells, which is encouraging for further investigations on utilizing DFs for tendon tissue engineering.
