Background: Repeated implantation failure (RIF) refers to the condition where high quality embryos are unable to successfully implant after multiple cycles of fertilization (IVF) treatment. The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of intrauterine granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on pregnancy rate in patients with RIF.
Materials And Methods: The present randomised clinical trial study was conducted at the IVF Centre of Mehr Medical Institute in Rasht, Iran, from 2020 to 2022. The research consisted of 200 individuals who had experienced multiple failed cycles. These patients were randomised into two groups: intrauterine infusion of 1 ml of G-CSF and intrauterine infusion of 1 ml autologous PRP at least 48 hours before embryo transfer (ET). The groups were compared in terms of implantation rate, and chemical, clinical, and ongoing pregnancy.
Results: The implantation rate was significantly higher in patients who received PRP (P=0.016). Chemical pregnancy in the PRP group was significantly higher than G-CSF group (P=0.003). Both clinical pregnancy and ongoing pregnancy rates were significantly higher in the PRP group (P=0.001) compared to the G-CSF group (P=0.02).
Conclusion: The utilisation of PRP via intrauterine infusion is considerably more successful than G-CSF in enhancing pregnancy and live birth rates among patients with RIF.

Objectives: This study aims to observe and report on the use of saline infusion sonography (SIS) to find out intrauterine and tubal factors in infertile/subfertile women, focusing on its diagnostic use, clinical advantages, and practical implications.
Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted involving 86 women presenting with subfertility and/or recurrent pregnancy loss in a tertiary care hospital. These participants were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria relevant to the study objectives.
Article Synopsis
- Patients with thin endometrium often face difficulties with pregnancy during frozen-thawed embryo transfers; enhancing endometrial receptivity may help.
- A study involving 150 patients tested the effects of intrauterine perfusion of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) and human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) on pregnancy outcomes, comparing results among three groups (control, HCG, and G-CSF).
- The G-CSF group showed significant improvements in endometrial thickness, blood flow, and Treg levels, resulting in higher pregnancy rates than both the HCG and control groups, indicating G-CSF's potential benefit for patients with thin endometrium.

Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), a pivotal hematopoietic cytokine, has been noted for its potential to bolster embryo implantation and augment endometrial receptivity. The present meta-analysis endeavors to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of G-CSF in mitigating the incidence of recurrent miscarriages, thereby enriching the clinical evidence supporting its use in treatment protocols. Our exhaustive literature search, concluded on August 25, 2024, spanned across various databases including PubMed, Medline, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, ClinicalTrials, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Weipu, and Wanfang, to identify and analyze randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that assessed the impact of G-CSF on recurrent miscarriage.

Thin endometrium (TE) has been widely recognized as a critical cause of infertility. However, the pathogenesis of TE remains unclear, and satisfactory treatment options are still urgently needed. Several animal models of TE have been developed, but the mouse model involving abdominal surgery and injection of 95% ethanol presents a formidable challenge due to the high mortality rate and risk of intrauterine adhesions if not performed correctly.
