Abstract:BackgroundThe aim was to explore the effect of macrophage polarization and macrophage‐to‐myofibroblast transition (MMT) in silicosis.MethodsMale Wistar rats were divided into a control group and a silicosis group developed using a HOPE MED 8050 dynamic automatic dusting system. Murine macrophage MH‐S cells were randomly divided into a control group and an SiO2 group. The pathological changes in lung tissue were observed using hematoxylin and eosin (HE) and Van Gieson (VG) staining. The distribution and locatio… Show more
