Description: Particles of any solid substance, generally under 30 microns in size, often noted as PM30. There is special concern with PM1 which can get down to PULMONARY ALVEOLI and induce MACROPHAGE ACTIVATION and PHAGOCYTOSIS leading to FOREIGN BODY REACTION and LUNG DISEASES.

1.	Infection 09/01/1977 - "Tentative conclusions concerning the role of recognition and ingestion of microorganisms by phagocytes in host defense and the consequences of disorders of phagocytosis can be derived by correlating a) knowledge about recognition and ingestion derived from studies in vitro, b) investigations of the clearance of particulate matter from the circulation of animals and man, and c) analyses of the behavior of phagocytes in patients susceptible to recurrent pyogenic infections. " 01/01/2006 - "This has been attributed to its complex anatomy and prominent reticuloendothelial functions which include clearance of unwanted particulate matter in blood ( culling), defense against infection and reservoir for blood cells. " 10/01/2002 - "This laboratory has previously demonstrated that a single inhalation exposure of Streptococcus pneumoniae-infected rats to concentrated ambient PM(2.5) (particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter < or =2.5 microm) from New York City (NYC) air exacerbates the infection process and alters pulmonary and systemic immunity. " 05/01/2001 - "At the same time the accumulation of viruses on suspended particulate matter increases the likelihood of an infection after incorporation of such a particle. " 10/01/2000 - "CONCLUSIONS: There are functional lymphatico-venous communications at the very peripheral level under physiological conditions, which allow rapid transport of viral-size particulate matter between the two pathways and may contribute to the spread of viral infection."

2.	Wounds and Injuries (Trauma) 03/01/2002 - "In cases of severe eye trauma or as a result of certain diseases and medical conditions, particulate matter may be introduced into the anterior chamber. " 05/01/1972 - "Effect of surgical trauma on the clearance and localization of blood-borne particulate matter." 08/01/1995 - "The removal of devitalized tissue, particulate matter, or foreign materials from a wound, debridement, is often the first goal of wound care. " 08/01/1994 - "We have compared the ability of current debridement techniques with the relatively new ultrasound debridement to clean wounds contaminated with bacteria and particulate matter. " 09/01/1976 - "From Wistar rats, data are presented which indicate that inbred females a) have a greater ability to clear particulate matter from the blood stream than do males of the same strain; b) are significantly more resistant to two different forms of lethal circulatory stress (e.g., intestinal ischemia and whole-body trauma) than are males; and c) exhibit a greater resistance to undergo reticuloendothelial system (RES) phagocytic depression after both forms of lethal trauma than do males.

3.	Sepsis (Septicemia) 02/01/1989 - "Severe sepsis leads to depression of the reticuloendothelial (RE) system with delayed bloodstream clearance of particulate matter and bacteria. " 02/01/1988 - "Severe sepsis leads to depression of the reticulo-endothelial system (RES) with delayed bloodstream clearance of particulate matter and bacteria. " 07/01/1983 - "Following splenectomy (SPLY) there is increased retention in the lung of injected particulate matter and an increased mortality from sepsis in experimental animals. " 09/01/1981 - "The reticuloendothelial system (RES) is thought to ensure organ integrity following trauma, burn, and sepsis by removing potentially embolic particulate matter and blood-borne bacteria from the circulation.
