“…The notion of using composite tissue allografts (CTAs) to reconstruct soft tissue and musculoskeletal defects dates back centuries. 1 Advances in reconstructive microsurgery, an increased experience with organ transplantation, and recent developments in immunosuppressive therapy have all led to an increased interest in CTA research and its clinical application. 2 Research using the rat hindlimb model has laid the groundwork for understanding CTA rejection and the need for immunosuppression.…”

Osteomyocutaneous flap as a preclinical composite tissue allograft: Swine model

Composite tissue allotransplantation (CTA) constitutes one of the last frontiers of microsurgery. Prior to its clinical application, the long-term efficacy of modern immunotherapy must be tested in a pre-clinical CTA model. Based on the concept of osteomyocutaneous forearm flap, we developed a CTA flap model in swine. After identifying the vascular territory of the flaps in six pigs (vascular casting), flaps were transplanted from mismatched donor to recipient pigs (n = 6). Rejection was assessed daily by visual inspection and histopathology of biopsy specimens. Recipient pigs were able to ambulate immediately following surgery. There were no flap failures owing to technical or surgical complications. Rejection occurred over a period of 7 days as manifested by edema, cellular infiltration, epidermalysis, and thrombosis. This pre-clinical flap model is excellent for evaluating the effectiveness of modern immunotherapy because it is anatomically and immunologically relevant and because the minimal morbidity caused to the animal permits long-term studies.

At present, this is a town in the southeastern Turkey in the Hatay province at the Iskenderun Bay at the base of the Amonos Mountains [2][3][4][5].…”

Saint Luke is the one commonly believed to be a patron saint of physicians. The less known are Cosmas and Damian, the only twin physicians to have been declared saints in the Catholic Church. In Poland, we have been recently observing a growing interest in these saint twins. This is mainly associated with a return to the tradition of the Apothecary Feast, celebrated on September 26, the day of Cosmas’ and Damian’s martyr death.
