摘要:

基于体素的形态学测量技术可以定量比较受试者全脑灰质结构的差异及功能改变。鉴于此,实验采用3.0T高场强磁共振高分辨三维T1WI成像,同时结合受试者临床神经量表得分情况,运用基于体素的形态学分析方法对32例帕金森病患者及25例健康对照组的大脑灰质图像进行比较。结果发现,与健康对照组相比,帕金森病患者简易智力状况检查量表、蒙特利尔认知评定量表得分明显降低,其中帕金森病患者蒙特利尔认知评定量表中子项视空间与执行功能得分降低明显,非运动症状均分明显升高。帕金森病患者的脑灰质体积较健康对照组广泛减少,这些区域包括双侧颞叶、枕叶、顶叶、额叶、岛叶、海马旁回、杏仁核、右侧钩回及右侧小脑后叶等。结果显示,基于体素的形态学分析方法能较全面、准确、定量地表现帕金森病患者广泛存在的脑灰质体积缺失区域,可以为帕金森病患者的多系统受累的病理机制提供必要的神经影像学依据。

Abstract:

Voxel-based morphometry can be used to quantitatively compare structural differences and func-tional changes of gray matter in subjects. In the present study, we compared gray matter images of 32 patients with Parkinson’s disease and 25 healthy controls using voxel-based morphometry based on 3.0 T high-field magnetic resonance T1-weighted imaging and clinical neurological scale scores. Results showed that the scores in Mini-Mental State Examination and Montreal Cognitive Assessment were lower in patients compared with controls. In particular, the scores of visuospatial/executive function items in Montreal Cognitive Assessment were significantly reduced, but mean scores of non-motor symptoms significantly increased, in patients with Parkinson’s dis-ease. In addition, gray matter volume was significantly diminished in Parkinson’s disease patients compared with normal controls, including bilateral temporal lobe, bilateral occipital lobe, bilateral parietal lobe, bilateral frontal lobe, bilateral insular lobe, bilateral parahippocampal gyrus, bilateral amygdale, right uncus, and right posterior lobe of the cerebellum. These findings indicate that voxel-based morphometry can accurately and quantitatively assess the loss of gray matter volume in patients with Parkinson's disease, and provide essential neuroimaging evidence for multisystem pathological mechanisms involved in Parkinson’s disease.
