Mesenchymal and Proneural Subtypes of Glioblastoma Disclose Branching Based on GSC Associated Signature

Glioblastomas (GBM)—the most common, therapy-resistant, and lethal tumors driven by populations of glioma stem cells (GSCs) are still on the list of the most complicated pathologies. Thus, deeper understanding and characterization of GSCs is indispensable to find suitable targets and develop more effective therapies. In the present study, we applied native glioblastoma cells and GSCs sequencing, screened for GSC-specific targets and checked if the signature is related to GBM patient pathological, clinical data as well as molecular subtypes applying TCGA cohort. Data analysis revealed that tumors of proneural and mesenchymal subtypes are branching in separate clusters based on screened gene expression. Samples of the same subtype revealed significantly different patient survival prognosis as well as recurrence chance between the clusters. Recently, different subpopulations of mesenchymal GSC demonstrating different properties were shown, which indicates possible internal heterogeneity of GBM subtypes as well. Current findings also revealed branching of molecular GBM subtypes that were significantly linked to patient outcome and that might be decided by distinct GSC subpopulations.     

单增李斯特氏菌MALDI-TOF-MS鉴定与分型研究

为建立单增李斯特氏菌的基质辅助激光解吸电离飞行时间质谱(MALDI-TOF-MS)快速鉴定与分型方法,实验收集37株单增李斯特氏菌分离株,应用MALDI-TOF-MS采集图谱,获取独特的蛋白质指纹图谱,汇总成标准图谱,建立单增李斯特氏菌鉴定数据库。采用单增李斯特氏菌标准菌株进行验证,表明鉴定结果的可信度很高。在数据库信息的基础上,对37株单增李斯特氏菌分离株进行聚类分型。分型结果表明,在蛋白质水平上,MALDI-TOF-MS可把37株单增李斯特氏菌分成9个型别。

Signatures: A language extension for improving type abstraction and subtype polymorphism in C++

C++ uses inheritance as a substitute for subtype polymorphism. We give examples where this makes the type system too inflexible. We then describe a conservative language extension that allows a programmer to define an abstract type hierarchy independent of any implementation hierarchies, to retroactively abstract over an implementation, and to decouple subtyping from inheritance. This extension gives the user more of the flexibility of dynamic typing while retaining the efficiency and security of static typing. With default implementations and views flexible mechanisms are provided for implementing an abstract type by different concrete class types. We first show how the language extension can be implemented in a preprocessor to a C++ compiler, and then detail and analyse the efficiency of an implementation we directly incorporated in the GNU C++ compiler.     

Behavioral Subtyping Relations for Active Objects

In this paper we investigate the object-oriented notion of subtyping in the context of behavioral formalisms. Behavioral formalisms are used to describe the dynamic behavior of active objects, viz. the protocols of interaction that active objects have to obey.Subtyping in OO-formalisms is closely related to the concept of inheritance. The central issue in the choice of subtyping relations among classes is the principle of substitutability: an instance of the subtype should be usable wherever an instance of the supertype was expected. Depending on the interpretation of usable, we obtain a variety of subtyping relations: stronger relations, allowing sharing of subtype instances among different clients, and weaker relations, restricting the possibilities of interference of different clients on the subtype instance. The subtyping relations are taxonomically ordered in a hierarchy. Substitutability is formalized via testing scenarios, which provide alternative characterizations for the subtyping relations.
