Detailed characterizations of genomic alterations have not identified subtype-specific vulnerabilities in adult gliomas. Mapping gliomas into developmental programs may uncover new vulnerabilities that are not strictly related to genomic alterations. After identifying conserved gene modules co-expressed with EGFR or PDGFRA (EM or PM), we recently proposed an EM/PM classification scheme for adult gliomas in a histological subtype- and grade-independent manner. By using cohorts of bulk samples, paired primary and recurrent samples, multi-region samples from the same glioma, single-cell RNA-seq samples, and clinical samples, we here demonstrate the temporal and spatial stability of the EM and PM subtypes. The EM and PM subtypes, which progress in a subtype-specific mode, are robustly maintained in paired longitudinal samples. Elevated activities of cell proliferation, genomic instability and microenvironment, rather than subtype switching, mark recurrent gliomas. Within individual gliomas, the EM/PM subtype was preserved across regions and single cells. Malignant cells in the EM and PM gliomas were correlated to neural stem cell and oligodendrocyte progenitor cell compartment, respectively. Thus, while genetic makeup may change during progression and/or within different tumor areas, adult gliomas evolve within a neurodevelopmental framework of the EM and PM molecular subtypes. The dysregulated developmental pathways embedded in these molecular subtypes may contain subtype-specific vulnerabilities.

Objective:To establish VSV-G qPCR assay for detection of replication competent lentivirus(RCL) and verify its application.Methods:A real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR for VSV-G envelope gene was developed. Several parameters including specificity, linear, amplification efficiency, precision, trueness, dynamic range, limit of detection, limit of quantification and robustness were verified. Preliminary application on CAR-T cells, end of production cells and the harvest of lentivirus vector was performed by using the method developed.Results:The real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR assay for VSV-G was specific for the detection VSV-G without specific amplification on 293T, PBMC and C8166 cells. The linear range of the assay was 1×10 2 copies/test-1×10 9 copies/test with a R2 value more than 0.998 and amplification efficiency between 93% and 98%. The precision (relative standard deviation) of the assay was less than 12% and the trueness (the rate of recovery) of the assay was between 85% and 106%. The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) of the assay was 5 copies/test and 40 copies/test. In addition, the robustness of the assay was also well. All the results of validation illustrated that the assay could meet the detection requirements. All of the 54 samples including CAR-T cells, lentivirus vector and end of product cells after amplification and passage on C8166 cells were negative of RCL by using the established assay. Conclusions:The real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR for VSV-G were established successfully. All of the validation results illustrated that the assay could meet the detection requirements. The application of the assay was conducive to further enhance the safety of the lentivirus vector related products.

Family physicians contracted service is an important choice to deepen the reform of China′s healthcare reform and achieve the strategic goal of " health for all" . In order to effectively promote the contracted service, the central government has successively issued a number of policy documents, which are echoed by the localities in their proactive explorations, achieving remarkable results. But there are also multiple roadblocks hindering the contracted service to progress. This article referred to the three-circle theory and studied policy implementation from the three dimensions of policy value, policy resources, and policy impetus. A thorough analysis of the problems in the implementation process revealed such main problems as insufficient family physicians, inadequacy of supporting policies and low level of policy acceptance among the young healthy age groups. The follow-up work will promote the long-term implementation of the family physicians contracted service policy by enriching the family physicians team, enriching supporting policies, and focusing on promotions to key age groups.

The healthcare plus aging care is a new type of aging care model that integrates medical services and aging care services. China has successively issued a series of policies, encouraging the localities to proactively explore such a model. The authors refer to the four dimensions of exchange and communication, policy resources, policy executor preferences and organizational structure in the Edwards policy execution model, for analyzing the implementation of such a policy. The study found such constraints for the policy as follows: unclear policy implementation standards, inadequate policy resources of manpower, financial and material resources, differences in preferences among local governments, general hospitals, primary medical institutions, and pension institutions, as well as decentralized and restricted organizational structures. At present, the policy of healthcare plus aging care remains in the stage of exploration and trial. The government should continue to define and revise the policy to ensure the smooth progress and long-term implementation of the policy of healthcare plus aging care.
