OBJECTIVE—To determine the levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) mRNA and protein expression in normal and osteoarthritic (OA) human articular cartilage, and whether VEGF expression...

Adaptation of myocardial blood flow to increased metabolic demand is not dependent on endothelial vasodilators in the rat heart.

Tiefenbacher, C. P., Tillmanns, H., Niroomand, F., Zimmermann, R., Kübler, W.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the role of endothelial vasodilating factors in adaptation of myocardial blood flow to increased metabolic demands. DESIGN: Alterations in the effects of endothelium...

Troponin T release after heart transplantation.

Zimmermann, R, Baki, S, Dengler, T J, Ring, G H, Remppis, A, Lange, R, ...

BACKGROUND--For the diagnosis of myocardial cell damage the measurement of the serum concentrations of myofibrillar antigens has several potential advantages over the assessment of traditional...

Haemorrheological abnormalities in unstable angina pectoris: a relation independent of risk factor profile and angiographic severity.

Neumann, F J, Tillmanns, H, Roebruck, P, Zimmermann, R, Haupt, H M, Kübler, W

Plasma viscosity, photometric erythrocyte aggregation index, and erythrocyte filterability were measured in 194 patients with coronary artery disease. Patients with unstable angina (n = 64) had a...

Troponin T concentrations 72 hours after myocardial infarction as a serological estimate of infarct size

Licka, M, Zimmermann, R, Zehelein, J, Dengler, T J, Katus, H A, Kübler, W

Background: After acute myocardial infarction, the structural protein T is released considerably longer than cytosolic creatine kinase (CK), CK MB isoenzyme (CK-MB), or lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)...

Defective IL-6 secretion in HIV-infected haemophilia patients.

Weimer, R, Zipperle, S, Daniel, V, Zimmermann, R, Opelz, G

To study the role of IL-6 in HIV-induced B cell defects, in vitro B cell responses and IL-6 secretion were determined simultaneously in 67 haemophilia patients. Twenty-three patients were HIV- (Group...

Association of T cell and macrophage dysfunction with surface gp 120-immunoglobulin-complement complexes in HIV-infected patients.

Daniel, V, Süsal, C, Weimer, R, Zimmermann, R, Huth-Kühne, A, Opelz, G

The mechanism of CD4+ cell depletion and functional T helper cell inhibition in HIV-infected individuals is poorly understood. The present study demonstrates that immune complex-covered CD4+ cells...

Evidence for autoantibody-induced CD4 depletion mediated by apoptotic and non-apoptotic mechanisms in HIV-positive long-term surviving haemophilia patients

DANIEL, V, SADEGHI, M, NAUJOKAT, C, WEIMER, R, HUTH-KÜHNE, A, ZIMMERMANN, R, ...

It is believed that autoimmune phenomena and apoptosis contribute to CD4 depletion. We investigated 11 long-term (>20 years) HIV-infected haemophilia patients and 10 healthy controls. Using...

HIV-induced IL-6/IL-10 dysregulation of CD4 cells is associated with defective B cell help and autoantibody formation against CD4 cells

Weimer, R, Zipperle, S, Daniel, V, Zimmermann, R, Schimpf, K, Opelz, G

To analyse CD4 cell cytokine secretion and helper/suppressor function at a clonal level we established 446 CD4+ T cell clones (TCC) in four healthy controls, three HIV− haemophilia patients, four...

CD4 depletion in HIV-infected haemophilia patients is associated with rapid clearance of immune complex-coated CD4+ lymphocytes

Daniel, V, Melk, A, SÜsal, C, Weimer, R, Zimmermann, R, Huth-KÜhne, A, ...

The predominant immunological finding in HIV+ haemophilia patients is a decrease of CD4+ lymphocytes during progression of the disease. Depletion of CD4+ lymphocytes is paralleled by an increase in...

Cytosolic and ER J-domains of mammalian and parasitic origin can functionally interact with DnaK

Nicoll, W.S., Botha, M., McNamara, C., Schlange, M., Boshoff, A., ...

Both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells contain multiple heat shock protein 40 (Hsp40) and heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) proteins, which cooperate as molecular chaperones to ensure fidelity at all...

Cimetidine does not increase the anticoagulant effect of phenprocoumon.

Harenberg, J, Staiger, C, De Vries, J X, Walter, E, Weber, E, Zimmermann, R

In patients on oral warfarin, nicoumalone and phenindione an increase of the anticoagulant effect has been described during concomitant treatment with cimetidine. Therefore we have investigated the...
