the role of alveolar macrophages in the production of granulocyte/ macrophage colony-stimulating factor(s) by the rat lung was investigated. lavaged lungs, when incubated at proper weight per volume of culture medium, produced the same amount of colony-stimulating factor as unlavaged ones. both lavaged and unlavaged lungs produced similar types of colony-stimulating factor (s). prolonged incuba...

background: recently, the use of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (g-csf) has been proposed to improve pregnancy outcomes in reproductive medicine. objective: a systematic review of the current use of g-csf in patients who have difficulty conceiving and maintaining pregnancy was performed. materials and methods: two electronic databases (pubmed/ medline and scopus) were searched. study sel...

introduction: various neuroregenerative procedures have been recently employed along with neurorehabilitation programs to promote neurological function after spinal cord injury (sci), and recently most of them have focused on the acute stage of spinal cord injury. in this report, we present a case of acute sci treated with neuroprotective treatments in conjunction with conventional rehabilitati...

two dogs with generalized seizures were evaluated. the dogs were diagnosed with traumatic intracranial hemorrhages based on the history, neurological examinations, and magnetic resonance imaging (mri) of the brain. treatment was started with oxygen, prednisolone and anticonvulsant agents. no further seizure activity was observed after treatment in both dogs, however cushing reflex was detected ...

introduction genetic background has known to be associated with the outcome of human t cell lymphotropic virus (htlv) type i infection. in the present study we investigate the association between gm-csf gene polymorphisms with the outcome of htlv-i infection. materials and methods we analyzed 3 single-nucleotide polymorphisms in the promter region of granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating fa...

objective(s): granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (g-csf) is used in clinical practice for the treatment of neutropenia and to stimulate generation of hematopoietic stem cells in bone marrow donors. in the present study, the ability of g-csf in mobilizing exogenous bone marrow stem cells (bmscs) from peripheral blood into the brain was tested. we for the first time injected a small amount of ...

In this study granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (CSF) was prepared from rabbit and guinea pig lung tissues. The biological activity of these CSFs was measured on semisolid agar culture and compared with those of mouse and rat. Weight of animals, incubation time and cross-reactivity of CSFs with different bone marrow sources were also investigated. The results showed that both...
