Advances in surgical instruments, magnification technology, perforator dissection techniques, and vascular imaging over the past decades have facilitated exponential growth in the field of microsurgery. With wide application potential including but not limited to limb salvage, breast reconstruction, lymphedema treatment, and sex affirmation surgery, microsurgery represents a critical skill set that powerfully augments the reconstructive armamentarium of plastic surgeons. Accordingly, microsurgical training is now a critical component of the plastic surgery residency education curriculum. Trainees must meet minimum microsurgery case requirements in addition to the core competencies outlined by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education. Through the use of simulation models, residency programs increasingly incorporate early skills development and assessment in microsurgery in the laboratory. Beyond residency, microsurgery fellowships offer additional exposure and refinement by offering volume, complexity, autonomy, and possible focused specialization. With continued refinement in technology and advances in knowledge, new types of simulation training models will continue to be developed and incorporated into microsurgery training curricula.
RESUMO
It is widely accepted that generation of tumor specific CD8+ T-cell responses occur via cross-priming; however the source of tumor antigen for this event is unknown. We examined the source and form of tumor antigen required for cross-presentation in the local lymph node (LN) using a syngeneic mouse tumor model expressing a marker antigen. We found that cross-presentation of this model tumor antigen in the LN is dependent on continuous traffic of antigen from the tumor site, but without any detectable migration of tumor resident dendritic cells (DCs). Instead, small numbers of tumor cells metastasize to local LNs where they are exposed to a localized CTL attack, resulting in delivery of tumor antigen into the cross-presentation pathway.
