Objective: To investigate the role of hepatocyte growth factor and its receptor c-Met (HGF/ c-Met) signaling pathway in early follicular development in mice via detecting the expression of HGF/c-Met in early mouse ovarian tissue and then analyze the biological process of HGF/c-Met signaling pathway and its possible involvement in intracellular signaling pathways by using bioinformatics for the purpose of further studying the molecular mechanism of the signaling pathway in the early follicle development. Methods. Thirty-five female Kunming mice and 15 male ones were fed in 15 cages with the female-to-male ratio of 2,1. The ovaries of mice at 3, 7, 14 and 21 days after birth were collected. Immunohistochemical staining and Western blotting were applied to detect the expression levels of HGF and c-Met protein in the ovarian tissues. Quantitative Real-time PCR,q-PCR, was used to detect the expression levels of HGF and C-Met mRNA in the early ovarian tissues of mice. Results, HGF and c-Met proteins were expressed in the ovarian tissues of the mice at 3, 7, 14 and 21 days, presenting an increasing trend with the increase of age by day,P < 0.05,. The mRNA levels of HGF and c-Met also showed the same trend,P < 0.05,. Bioinformatics analysis revealed that the HGF/c-Met signaling pathway involved in a variety of biological processes and signaling pathways such as PI3K/AKT. Conclusions,HGF/c-Met signaling pathway is involved in early follicular development in mice. It may regulate primal follicular initiation and follicular develop, ment through intracellular signaling pathway PI3K/AKT. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Brain tumors are mainly treated with surgery. However, patients still experience many symptoms and nursing needs due to disease and treatment-related factors that, if not improved in a timely manner, may result in depression. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of supportive caring on symptom distress, nursing needs, and depressive symptoms in patients with brain tumor after surgery. Methods: This study adopted a two-group, pre- and post-test experimental design. The enrolled participants were randomized into two groups. Those in the experimental group received a phone-based supportive caring intervention twice at 1 and 3 months after surgery. Those in the control group received usual discharge care. The measurement outcomes included a supportive care needs survey, symptom distress scales, and the center for epidemiological studies of depression. Baseline data was collected prior to hospital discharge (T0), with follow-up data collected at one month (T1), three months (T2), and six months (T3) after surgery. Results: The results of the generalized estimating equation analysis showed that nursing needs in the experimental group at T1 (β = -23.61, p < .001), T2 (β = -22.51, p < .001), and T3 (β = -22.26, p < .001) were significant lower than in the control group. Also, symptom distress in the experimental group at T1 (β = -7.03, p = .019) and T2 (β = -8.39, p = .003) was significantly lower than in the control group. However, depressive symptoms in the experimental group were lower than in the control group only at T2 (β = -8.55, p = .005). Conclusion: The results of this study confirm that supportive care helps improve nursing needs, symptoms distress, and depressive symptoms in patients with brain tumor after surgery. Medical team members should pay attention to these issues following surgery. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
