title: [Bulbar conjunctival microcirculation in schizophrenics].
abstract: A comparative observation on bulbar conjunctival microcirculation (BCM) between 38 schizophrenics and 38 normal controls was carried out. The results showed 95% abnormal BCM in schizophrenics. And among them, the moderate and severe abnormal BCM was 74%. And in all of the 14 investigated items, the general abnormalities were 50%. But in normal controls, abnormal BCM was 27%, and just a few of them appeared the general abnormalities, and no one suggested moderate and severe abnormal BCM. As compared the results obtained in schizophrenics with those in normal controls, we found 12 investigated items such as irregularity in diameter, dilatation and tortuosity of tiny vena; irregularity in diameter, stiff of tiny arteria; small hemorrhagic spot, brown pigmentation, red blood cells collected in tiny vena and capillary, small vascular density, speed of blood flow and arterio-venous ratio were statistically significant.
