SIGNS OF POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER IN COMBATANTS WITH DIFFERENT COMBAT EXPERIENCE AND THE STRUCTURE OF THEIR PSYCHOLOGICAL REHABILITATION by Ivan М. Okhrimenko, Nataliia O. Bilevych, Maryna Yu. Halych, Yaroslav V. Halych, Natalia E. Penkova, Petro V. Kozyra, Oksana G. Strelchenko

“…The signs of PTSD that are most often detected in combatants include: sleep disturbance (92.4 %); attempts to avoid thoughts and conversations about the traumatic event (89.4 %); intrusive memories of the traumatic event (83.3 %); fear, helplessness, anxiety, irritation, anger (80.3 %); feeling of alienation (74.2 %); disorders in the physiological sphere (74.2 %); cognitive sphere disorders (66.7 %); decreased interest in previously significant activities and values (68.2 %); increased vigilance, a sense of excessive control (65.1 %); aggressiveness, proneness to conflict (59.1 %). Conclusions. The structure of psychological rehabilitation of combatants with PTSD manifestations has been substantiated based on the development of a psycho-correctional training program referred to as “Formation of the Personal Space of Combatants” aimed at supporting their social and psychological adaptation, personal self-affirmation, and self-actualization. …”

Pharmacological and structural characterization of vibostolimab, a novel anti-TIGIT blocking antibody for cancer immunotherapy by Hongmei Wang, Maribel Beaumont, Wendy Blumenschein, Laurence Fayadat-Dilman, Mingmei Cai, Jing Yuan, Douglas Wilson, Thierry O Fischmann, Jeanne Baker, Tanya Keenan, Daniel Malashock, Eunseon Ahn, Komal Pradhan, Jeffery Grein, Srishti Chakravorty, Soheila Bahmanjah, David Ban, Ellen Chien, Mark Hsieh, Todd Mayhood, Janica C Wong, Mark A McCoy, Sybil M G Williams, Wolfgang Seghezzi, Jin-Hwan Han

“…The mouse surrogate anti-TIGIT antibodies were identified and used to extensively investigate the mechanism of action of anti-TIGIT antibodies as monotherapy or in combination with anti-programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1) antibody in vivo by gene expression profiling and flow cytometry analyses with a mouse syngeneic tumor model.Results Structural analyses with solution NMR and X-ray crystallography revealed that vibostolimab binds the CC’C’’FG loop interface of TIGIT, completely competing for the binding site of CD155 with a larger coverage area than another anti-TIGIT antibody tiragolumab, consistent with surface plasmon resonance analysis, though mouse models with similar antibodies revealed no functional difference in antitumor efficacy. …”
