Abstract:
Objective:To reveal the specific region location of brain function injury after sleep deprivation by exploring cerebral glucose metabolism and blood perfusion changes and the correlation between them in healthy volunteers of sleep deprivation.Methods:From January 2019 to December 2019, a total of 17 healthy volunteers (8 males, 9 females; age (22.5±1.7) years) from People′s Hospital of Zhengzhou University were enrolled prospectively. All patients accepted MRI three-dimensional (3D) arterial spin labeling (ASL) and 18F-FDG PET/CT scanning at 2 h after normal sleep and after sleep deprivation of 24 h. Statistical parametric mapping (SPM) software was used for image processing, and brain metabolism and perfusion differences activation graphs before and after sleep deprivation were obtained respectively. Then the common activated brain regions were obtained as ROI. The cerebral blood flow (CBF) and the SUV ratio (SUVR; the cerebellum was the reference area) were calculated. Pearson correlation analysis and paired t test were used for data analysis. Results:The cerebral metabolism and perfusion of the subjects after sleep deprivation were reduced, and the abnormal brain areas were similar. Brain areas with reduced metabolism were more than those with reduced perfusion. The brain areas with reduced metabolism and perfusion after sleep deprivation were commonly in the frontal lobe, temporal lobe, parietal lobe, etc. The CBF and SUVR value of left dorsolateral frontal gyrus after sleep deprivation were correlated ( r=0.58, P=0.014). The mean CBF value ((46.32±7.39) ml·100 g -1·min -1) and SUVR value (1.46±0.04) of whole brain after sleep deprivation were lower than those before sleep deprivation ((54.91±6.51) ml·100 g -1·min -1, 1.53±0.06; t values: -2.67, -3.72, P values: 0.012, 0.001). Conclusions:The specific region′s location of brain function injury after sleep deprivation is preliminarily revealed. 18F-FDG PET/CT was more sensitive than 3D-ASL for brain function research of sleep deprivation and left dorsolateral frontal gyrus may be a key responsible functional region in subjects of sleep deprivation.
