However, most studies focused on the relationship between different brain areas, rather than the amplitude or strength of the regional brain activity. The purpose of this study was to explore the functional brain changes in AD patients by measuring the amplitude of the blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) functional MRI (fMRI) signals.展开更多

文摘目的分析静息状态下失眠患者杏仁核与其他脑功能连接的改变。方法失眠患者39例为失眠组,体检健康者23例为对照组,2组均进行临床匹兹堡睡眠质量指数量表(Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, PSQI)、汉密尔顿抑郁量表(Hamilton Depression Scale, HAMD)、汉密尔顿焦虑量表(Hamilton Anxiety Scale, HAMA)、世界卫生组织-加利福尼亚听觉词语学习测验(World Health Organization University of California Los Angeles Auditory Verbal Learning Test, WHO-UCLA AVLT)评估睡眠、认知、情绪情况,2组均行磁共振常规扫描和静息态功能MRI扫描(resting-state functional MRI, rs-fMRI),以双侧杏仁核为种子点,比较2组脑功能连接的差异;采用Pearson相关分析失眠组长时记忆评分与左侧杏仁核-左侧海马旁回、左侧杏仁核-右侧海马旁回的功能连接强度的相关性。结果失眠组PSQI[(13.46±2.74)分]、HAMA[(10.10±3.97)分]、HAMD[(9.56±3.48)分]评分及认知障碍评分[(1.23±0.67)分]明显高于对照组[(2.52±1.75)、(1.57±1.90)、(0.78±1.24)、(0.08±0.07)分](P<0.05),WHO-UCLA学习记忆量表中长时记忆[(10.67±2.35)分]和再认记忆[(12.36±2.40)分]评分低于对照组[(11.96±1.85)、(13.39±1.31)分](P<0.05);与对照组比较,失眠组左侧杏仁核与后扣带回、双侧海马旁回、双侧海马、颞叶、舌回和枕叶的功能连接增强(P<0.05),右侧杏仁核与边缘叶、右侧海马旁回、舌回、枕叶、右侧距状皮层、后扣带回、前额叶功能连接增强(P<0.05);失眠组长时记忆评分与左侧杏仁核-左侧海马旁回、左侧杏仁核-右侧海马旁回的功能连接强度呈正相关(r=0.556,P<0.001;r=0.150,P=0.032)。结论失眠患者双侧杏仁核与多个脑区的功能连接出现异常,可能是失眠患者出现情绪调节障碍、认知障碍等的机制之一。
