Abstract:
Objective To investigate the amide proton transfer (APT) values in basal ganglia of neonatal piglet hypoxicischemic brain injury (HIBI) model using MR APT imaging.Methods Totally 35 healthy neonatal piglets were selected.There were 5 piglets underwent sham-operation in control group and 30 piglets used to established HIBI models in HIBI group.According to the time interval between APT imaging and the establishment of HIBI model,the piglets in HIBI group were divided into 0-＜2 h,2-＜6 h,6-＜12 h,12-＜24 h,24-＜48 h and 48-＜72 h subgroups.APT imaging was performed on all piglets.The APT value of basal ganglia between control group and all the subgroups in HIBI group were compared.Results After HIBI occurred,the APT values immediately decreased in 0-2 h,and then increased gradually.In 24 h after HIBI,the APT values were mainly returned to the level of control group,then continuously increased.The APT value in control group and 0-＜2 h,2 ＜6 h,6 ＜12 h,12-＜24 h,24-＜48 h,48-＜72 h subgroups in HIBI group were 0.52 ± 0.09,-0.35 ± 0.08,-0.02 ± 0.14,0.28± 0.04,0.46 ± 0.11,0.80 ± 0.11,1.24 ± 0.18,respectively.The APT values between control group and each subgroups in HIBI group had significant differences (all P＜0.01) except for 12-＜24 h subgroup (P=0.68).Conclusion The APT value decreased firstly and then increased after HIBI in neonatal piglet.APT imaging can provide a non-invasive molecular MR method to evaluate the pathophysiological changes of HIBI.
