Abstract
Objective
To analyze the brain functional fluctuation of benign epilepsy in children with central-temporal spikes(BECTS) by using ReHo algorithm based on the resting-state brain functional imaging, and to explore the connection of the brain function and changes of the connection pattern, so as to find the damage of the cognitive function of BECTS children in the early stage.
Method
s Perspectiveness and simple random selection of 20 BECTS children and 20 healthy control children admitted to Shenzhen Children′s Hospital from January 2015 to December 2017 were conducted for basic information collection and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) testing in a resting-state.
Result
s Significantly lower ReHo value appeared in the default mode network (DMN) area, and the precuneus (voxel=422, t=-5.085 6), cuneus (voxel=85, t=-4.240 3), angular gyrus (voxel=191, t=-4.681 2), cingulate cortex (voxel=313, t=-5.238 2), anterior central gyrus (voxel=12, t=-3.482 7), and supplementary motor area (voxel=1 356, t-6.596 2). The significantly increased ReHo was found in the bilateral cerebellum (voxel=71, t=5.658 2), right superior temporal gyrus (voxel=24, t= 5.184 0), operculum insulae (voxel=337, t=6.814 9), left parietal lobe (voxel=12, t=4.378 7), and inferior parietal lobule (voxel=11, t=3.433 7).
Conclusions
Significant impairment of DMN, Wernicke and angular gyrus functions in BECTS children may be one of the mechanisms of cognitive dysfunction.Enhanced sensorimotor area and cortical brain functions near the operculum insulae and central sulcus lead to seizures with typical clinical symptoms.fMRI has a high specificity and sensitivity for evaluating the brain function of children with BECTS, and it can detect the impairment of cognitive function in children with this type of epilepsy at an early stage.

期刊介绍:
Chinese Journal of Applied Clinical Pediatrics ( semi-monthly ) is a core journal of paediatrics under the supervision of China Association for Science and Technology, sponsored by Chinese Medical Association and undertaken by Xinxiang Medical College. Founded in 1986, it is openly circulated both at home and abroad. The journal has several columns, such as Expert Forum, Experimental Research and Paediatric Surgery, which are mainly for paediatric medical workers and medical researchers in hospitals. Its purpose is to reflect the new theories and technologies in paediatric medicine and scientific research at home and abroad, and to promote academic exchanges.
Chinese Journal of Applied Clinical Pediatrics is a source journal of China Science Citation Database (CSCD), a core journal of Peking University, a source journal of Chinese science and technology paper statistics (China Science and Technology Core Journals), a core academic journal of RCCSE, a high-quality scientific and technical journal of China, a high-quality scientific and technical journal of China Association for Science and Technology, and a high-quality scientific and technical journal of China Biomedical Science and Technology Association. We have been published in China Biomedical Literature Database (SinoMed), China Knowledge Network, Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform, China Academic Journal Abstracts, Scopus Database, Chemical Abstracts (USA), Japan Science and Technology Agency (JSTA) Database, Copernicus Abstracts (Poland), Abstracts of the Centre for Agricultural and Biological Sciences (CABS) of the United Kingdom, Cambridge Scientific Abstracts ProQuest Database, WHO Medical Journal of the Western Pacific Region (WMPR), and WHO Medical Journal of the Western Pacific Region (WMPR) of the United States. We have been included in dozens of authoritative databases at home and abroad, such as WHO Western Pacific Region Index of Medicine (WPRIM), Ullrich's Guide to Periodicals, and so on.
