The selective toxicity of silica quartz dust to macrophages was used to assess the role of these cells in Wallerian degeneration and nerve repair. Left sciatic nerves of adult Wistar rats were crushed and one group of animals received repetitive intraperitoneal injections of silica (200 mg two times
