Magnetic resonance imaging of grey matter volume in anterior cingulate and hippocampus in patients with post-stroke depression
WI磁共振扫描,采用VBM-DARTEL方法对扫描获得的结构图像进行预处理,并将双侧海马及前扣带回作为感兴趣区(region of interest,ROI),最后用双样本t检验比较PSD组与non-PSD组组间灰质体积差异。 结果 与non-PSD组相比,PSD组患者双侧前扣带回(体素200)及双侧海马(左侧体素200,右侧体素200)体积下降差异具有统计学意义(
Objective To determine the changes of gray matter volumes in the hippocampus and anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) in patients with post-stroke depression (PSD)
and investigate the correlation of the changes with depression severity. Methods Thirteen patients with PSD and 18 patients without PSD after stroke undergoing examination of three-d
imensional high-resolution T1 weighted MRI in our hospital from June 2012 to May 2013 were enrolled in this study. Voxel-wise analyses of regional gray matter volume were conducted by the VBM analysis using DARTEL algorithm in SPM8. The bilateral hippocampus and ACC were regarded as regions of interest. Two-sample t-test and partial correlation analysis was used for statistical analysis. Results Compared with the non-PSD patients
the PSD group showed significantly lower gray matter volume in bilateral ACC (
P
0.001
voxel>200) and bilateral hippocampus (
P
0.001
voxel>200)
and had no region with increased gray matter volume. In the PSD patients
there was no correlation of the decreased volumes of gray matter with the scores of Hamilton depression scale (HAMD) (r=0.343
0.356
0.240 for bilateral ACC
and left and right hippocampus respectively
P
0.05) and illness duration (r=0.379
0.452
0.413 for bilateral ACC
and left and right hippocampus respectively
P
0.05). Conclusion Similar with primary depression
PSD patients have decreased gray matter volumes in the ACC and hippocampus
but the decreases have no correlation with depression severity.
