Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the feasibility and diagnostic value of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in hepatic warm ischemia-reperfusion injury (WIRI) in rabbits.Methods Fifty healthy adult New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into control group (n =10) and four experimental groups (n =10 per group) according to different periods of hepatic warm ischemia.Four experimental groups were given hepatic arteries and portal veins clamp for 10,20,30,40 min respectively and reperfusion for 6 h to establish the rabbit model of hepatic WIRI.The control group was given perihepatic ligament separation but no vessel clamp.All the rabbits were scanned with MAGNETOM Trio Tim 3.0T MRI DTI MR Siemens and the data were collected by Nero 3D Siemens.The apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC),and fractional anisotropy (FA) values were separately measured by 2 qualified radiologists.Then intra class correlation coefficient (ICC) was used to check their consistency and repeatability.The liver function of rabbits was tested after MR examination,and pathologic examination was performed after sacrifice.Spearman correlation analysis was used to evaluate the correlation between ADC value and liver function parameters.The ROC curve was used to evaluate the diagnostic value of ADC value.Results The ADC and FA values of the two observers were consistent,with ICC values of 0.824 and 0.807,respectively.There were significant differences in ADC value between the control group and 4 experimental groups [P =0.000,(1.42 ± 0.15) 10-3mm2/s,(1.34± 0.11) 10-3mm2/s,(1.22 ± 0.20) 10-3mm2/s,(1.19 ± 0.13) 10 3mm2/s,(1.83 ±0.20) 10-3 mm2/s respectively],but there was no significant difference in the FA value among groups (0.40 ± 0.04,0.38 ± 0.03,0.41 ± 0.04 and 0.37 ± 0.04,respectively;P＞0.05).The differences in serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT),aspartate aminotransferase (AST),lactate dehydrogenase (LDH),the total superoxide dismutase (SOD),malondialdehyde (MDA) and myeloperoxidase (MPO) were statistically significant (P＜0.01).There was a negative correlation between ADC value and ALT,AST,LDH,MPO and MDA (P＜0.05),and a positive correlation between ADC value and total SOD (P =0.000).ADC value has a higher diagnostic efficacy to evaluate hepatic WIRI in T1,T2,T3,T4 group and the AUC was 0.985,0.900,0.970 and 0.833 respectively.Conclusion DTI can quantitatively and noninvasively evaluate the changes of liver water molecule diffusion caused by hepatic I/R injury in rabbits,and the ADC value could dynamically evaluate the degree of hepatic WIRI in rabbits.
