Reactive restructuring of ureteral smooth muscle tissue during development of urinary vesico-ureteral reflux in children

By means of target cell dissociation we studied the cells of smooth muscle tissue from the wall of intact ureter in children in the course of compensatory-adaptive reactions in the vesico-ureteral reflux. Three types of ureteral myocytes differing by structural-metabolic parameters are distinguished...

Summary:By means of target cell dissociation we studied the cells of smooth muscle tissue from the wall of intact ureter in children in the course of compensatory-adaptive reactions in the vesico-ureteral reflux. Three types of ureteral myocytes differing by structural-metabolic parameters are distinguished. A comparative analysis of the intact and reactively altered ureteral smooth muscle tissue has revealed changes in the population structure manifesting with high optic density of DNA from myocytic nuclei and high activity of synthetic processes in the cytoplasm.
