Are granulocyte colony-stimulating factors beneficial in treating diabetic foot infections?: A meta-analysis.
OBJECTIVE To assess the value of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) as adjunctive therapy for diabetic foot infections. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We systematically searched the medical literature (including Medline, Embase, LookSmart, and the Cochrane Library) for prospective randomized studies that used G-CSF as an adjunct to standard treatment for diabetic foot infections. Usin...
متن کاملHaemopoietic colony stimulating factors for preterm neonates.
Bacterial and fungal sepsis is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in neonates. Infection rates are high in infants treated in intensive care units, with the highest rates, of around 30%, occurring in extremely immature preterm neonates. A survey of neonatal infection at Yale University, ongoing since 1928, has documented a decline in neonatal septic deaths commensurate with the establishm...
متن کاملBlood Cell Growth Factors
SUMMARY Growth factors or colony stimulating factors (CSFs)recently became the subject of headlines around the world. Many published articles in the last few years indicate that the CSFs can correct anemia and pancytopenia of the great majority of patients. Recombinant CSFs are available to the many scientific and therapeutic centers in the U.S.A, Europe and Japan these days. Erythrop oieti...
متن کاملColony stimulating factors and macrophage heterogeneity
Macrophages or mononuclear phagocytes are heterogeneous populations present throughout the body which can adapt quite dramatically to the surrounding milieu, both in the steady state and during immune/inflammatory responses. To assist in our understanding of this diversity, they have been classified into polarization or “activation” states, termed M1 and M2, respectively. This in vitro classifi...
متن کاملColony Stimulating Factors: Regulation of Production
Life span of mature blood cells is ephemeral, reqUIrIng hematopoiesis throughout life. A complex network of hematopoietic progenitor cells and cytokines maintain an enormous daily production of granulocytes, monocytes, erythrocytes, platelets, and lymphocytes. This population of hematopoietic cells must be able to respond rapidly to changing needs such as bleeding, infections, cancer, or exposu...
