摘要
研究背景体素镜像同位连接(VMHC)通过量化大脑双侧半球相应区域之间的相似性来评估神经网络的功能连接。对不同大脑半球基底节缺血性中风(BGIS)患者的 VMHC 异常的探索还很有限。本研究旨在通过利用静息态功能磁共振成像(rs-fMRI)进行 VMHC 分析,为了解基底节缺血性中风(BGIS)患者双侧大脑半球的功能连接状况奠定基础:本研究共调查了 38 名左侧基底节缺血性中风(LBGIS)患者、44 名右侧基底节缺血性中风(RBGIS)患者和 41 名健康对照组(HC)患者。对这些患者进行了 Rs-fMRI 研究,并使用 VMHC 方法对预处理后的 rs-fMRI 数据进行了分析。随后,使用单因素方差分析和事后分析比较了三组之间的 VMHC 值。同时还进行了与临床量表的相关性分析:结果表明,与 HC 组相比,BGIS 两组患者的中央后回和延伸至中央前回存在显著差异。事后分析表明,在基于 ROI 的成对比较中,与 HC 组相比,LBGIS 和 RBGIS 患者的 VMHC 值降低。LBGIS 组和 RBGIS 组之间没有明显差异。在 LBGIS 组中,VMHC 值与 NIHSS 呈负相关,与 BI 呈正相关:rs-fMRI中的VMHC分析揭示了单侧BGIS患者大脑功能重塑的模式,其特点是大脑半球之间的同步性和协调性降低。这可能有助于了解这些患者运动功能障碍的神经机制。
A comparative study of interhemispheric functional connectivity in patients with basal ganglia ischemic stroke.
Background: Voxel-mirrored homotopic connectivity (VMHC) is utilized to assess the functional connectivity of neural networks by quantifying the similarity between corresponding regions in the bilateral hemispheres of the brain. The exploration of VMHC abnormalities in basal ganglia ischemic stroke (BGIS) patients across different cerebral hemispheres has been limited. This study seeks to establish a foundation for understanding the functional connectivity status of both brain hemispheres in BGIS patients through the utilization of VMHC analysis utilizing resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI).
Methods: This study examined a total of 38 patients with left basal ganglia ischemic stroke (LBGIS), 44 patients with right basal ganglia ischemic stroke (RBGIS), and 41 individuals in a healthy control (HC) group. Rs-fMRI studies were performed on these patients, and the pre-processed rs-fMRI data were analyzed using VMHC method. Subsequently, the VMHC values were compared between three groups using a one-way ANOVA and post hoc analysis. Correlation analysis with clinical scales was also conducted.
Results: The results indicated that compared to the HC group, significant differences were detected in postcentral gyrus, extending to precentral gyrus in both BGIS groups. Post hoc analysis showed that in the pairwise ROI-based comparison, individuals with LBGIS and RBGIS exhibited reduced VMHC values compared to HC groups. There was no significant difference between the LBGIS and RBGIS groups. In the LBGIS group, the VMHC value showed a negative correlation with NIHSS and a positive correlation with BI.
Conclusion: The analysis of VMHC in rs-fMRI revealed a pattern of brain functional remodeling in patients with unilateral BGIS, marked by reduced synchronization and coordination between hemispheres. This may contribute to the understanding of the neurological mechanisms underlying motor dysfunction in these patients.
