Objective ToinvestigatethepatternsofbrainactivityabnormalitiesinpatientswithParkinson’sdisease(PD)with freezingofgait(FOG),andtoexploretheneuropathologicalmechanismofFOG.Methods Resting-statefunctionalMRI(rs-fMRI) scanswereobtainedfrom31PDpatientsand16healthycontrols(HCs).Accordingtothefreezingofgaitquestionnaire(FOG-Q),31 PDpatientsweredividedinto15PDFOG(+)and16PDFOG(－).ANCOVAandPost-Hocttestwereperformedtoassessinter groupdifferenceofbrainactivityabnormalitybasedonregionalhomogeneity.Results ComparedtoHCs,PDFOG(+)showeddecreased ReHointheleftinferiortemporalgyrus,rightlingual,bilateralfusiform,rightoccipitalgyrus,rightcalcarine,andrightcerebellum, whileincreasedReHointherightmiddlefrontalgyrus,rightsuperiorfrontalgyrus,rightprecentralgyrus,andrightsupplementary motorarea(SMA).ComparedtoPDFOG(－),PDFOG(+)exhibitedincreasedReHointherightprecentralgyrus,rightmiddle frontalgyrus,rightinferiorfrontalgyrus,andrightSMA,whiledecreasedReHoinleftfusiform.Conclusion Thisstudysuggests thatFOGinPDisassociatedwithabnormalitiesincerebellum,frontallobeandvisualnetwork,whichishelpfultounderstandthe neuralmechanismsunderlyingFOGinPD.

Abnormalspontaneousbrainactivityintype2diabeticsretinopathyrevealedby amplitudeoflow-frequencyfluctuations:Aresting-statefMRIstudy / 实用放射学杂志

Objective Toinvestigatethealteredspontaneouscerebralactivitypatternsinpatientswithtype2diabeticretinopathy (DR).Methods 21patientswithDRand17healthycontrolsubjectswereprospectivelystudied.Allindividualsunderwentlaboratoryand neuropsychologicaltests.Thedifferencesintheamplitudeoflow-frequencyfluctuation (ALFF)valuesbetweentwogroupswere comparedandanalyzedstatisticallyusingDPRASFV2.3andREST1.6software.TherelationshipsamongALFFvaluesofbrainregionswith statisticalsignificance,HbA1c,durationofdiseaseandneuropsychologicalscoreswereanalyzedusinga multiple-factoranalysis.Results Comparedtothecontrols,theDRgroupshowedsignificantlyincreasedALFFvaluesinthebilateraloccipitalgyrus,rightlingualgyrus,and precuneus(P<0.01),anddecreasedvaluesintherightposterior/anteriorcerebellarlobe,fusiform,superiortemporal,inferiorparietal,and angulargyrus(P<0.05).Furthermore,theMoCAscoreswerenegativelycorrelatedwithdecreasedALFFvaluesintherightoccipitallobe oftheDRgroup,whileincreasedALFFvaluesintherightprecuneusandlingualgyruswerefoundtobepositivelycorrelatedwithglycosylated hemoglobin(HbA1c)levels.Conclusion PatientswithDRshowspontaneouscerebralabnormalactivityin manycerebralregions.ALFF valuechangesinthevisualcortexareassociatedwithcognitiveimpairments.Itisofimportantvaluetoevaluatebraindysfunctionin patientswithDRusingALFF method.
