Schirmer I and tear film break up time (BUT) test were used to determine cytological changes and conjunctival surface epithelial morphology was investigated using impression cytology in patients with inactive trachoma; patients with mild and severe scarring, and control subjects, were compared. Schirmer I, BUT, and goblet cell populations were significantly lower whereas the grade of squamous metaplasia was significantly higher in patients with inactive trachoma. There was a close correlation between our findings and the clinical severity of trachoma.
采用Schirmer I试验和泪膜破裂时间（BUT）试验来确定细胞学变化，并使用印迹细胞学研究静止期沙眼患者的结膜表面上皮形态；比较了轻度和重度瘢痕形成患者以及对照受试者。静止期沙眼患者的Schirmer I试验、BUT试验和杯状细胞数量显著降低，而鳞状化生程度显著升高。我们的研究结果与沙眼的临床严重程度密切相关。
