Mononuclear phagocytes are suggested to play a major orchestrating role in the resolution of inflammatory processes in the lung. Particular emphasis is placed on their participation in the progression from a lesion with neutrophils as the dominant infiltrating cell to one that contains macrophages, on the macrophage's role in removing neutrophils and cell debris, and on their promotion of repair mechanisms. It is suggested that monocytes must mature into macrophages before they are capable of active participation in the resolution of inflammation.
单核吞噬细胞被认为在肺部炎症过程的消退中起主要协调作用。特别强调它们参与从以中性粒细胞作为主要浸润细胞的病变发展到含有巨噬细胞的病变过程，巨噬细胞在清除中性粒细胞和细胞碎片中的作用，以及它们对修复机制的促进作用。有人提出，单核细胞在能够积极参与炎症消退之前必须成熟为巨噬细胞。
