Background: The current study aimed to investigate the effect of enteral Granulocyte-Colony Stimulating G-CSF(Factor) on feeding tolerance in very low birth weight (VLBW) and extremely low birth weight (ELBW) neonates.Methods: This historical-controlled clinical trial was conducted on VLBW and ELBW neonates admitted to MahdiehHospital, affiliated to Shahid Beheshti University ...

background: despite major advances in assisted reproductive techniques, the implantation rates remain relatively low. some studies have demonstrated that intrauterine infusion of granulocyte colony stimulating factor (g-csf) improves implantation in infertile women. objective: to assess the g-csf effects on ivf outcomes in women with normal endometrial thickness. materials and methods : in this...

Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) is a hematopoietic cytokine which controls the differentiation and growth of hematopoietic cells in the bone marrow. We report a severe aplastic anemia (SAA) patient with false-negative 99mTc sodium phytate bone marrow imaging findings under concurrent G-CSF therapy. The first bone marrow imaging showed a normal bone marrow activity. However, the bo...

Ovarian torsion is an important reproductive gynecological emergency in daily life and physiology. Granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) a glycoprotein capable of hematopoietic development successfully used the treatment congenital granulocytopenia. In our study, we aimed to investigate protective effects G-CSF on ovarian ischemia reperfusion (IR) immunohistochemically. Four groups were...

BACKGROUND Administration of recombinant G-CSF following cytoreductive therapy enhances the recovery of myeloid cells, minimizing the risk of opportunistic infection. Free G-CSF, however, is expensive, exhibits a short half-life, and has poor biological activity in vivo. METHODS We evaluated whether the biological activity of G-CSF could be improved by pre-association with anti-G-CSF mAb prio...

Various cytokines play roles in the process of granulocytic proliferation, differentiation and maturation from hemopoietic stem/progenitor cells and in the functional activation of mature granulocytes. Among these cytokines, the most essential is granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), which is a 19KD glycoprotein composed of 174 amino acids with one o-linked sugar chain. This molecule i...

We assessed the capacity of recombinant human granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and multilineage (Multi)-CSF to induce release of granulocyte-CSF (G-CSF) by highly purified peripheral blood monocyte (Mo) preparations. Our results reveal that GM-CSF and Multi-CSF, either alone or in a synergistic concert, activate Mo to transcribe G-CSF messenger (m) RNA and release biolo...
