Mononuclear phagocytic cells were present in normal uterine fluid. All transitional forms between monocytes and mature macrophages could be distinguished. The content of lysosomal enzymes in these cells was found to be identical to that of blood monocytes, which validates the hypothesis of their origin. Mononuclear phagocytic cells were more numerous in the uterine fluid aspirated from women with an intrauterine device (IUD). Furthermore, the activity levels of lysosomal enzymes in these cells were higher in the group of IUD users than in the nonusers, indicating a higher phagocytic activity of such cells in the IUD group, possibly secondary to the inflammatory process.
正常子宫液中存在单核吞噬细胞。可区分单核细胞与成熟巨噬细胞之间的所有过渡形式。发现这些细胞中溶酶体酶的含量与血液单核细胞的相同，这证实了它们起源的假说。在从使用宫内节育器（IUD）的女性中吸出的子宫液中，单核吞噬细胞数量更多。此外，IUD使用者组中这些细胞的溶酶体酶活性水平高于未使用者，表明IUD组中此类细胞的吞噬活性更高，这可能继发于炎症过程。
