Chinese Journal of Radiology 2008;42(7):702-705
Objective To study the time-dependent changes and mechanisms of auditory cortex in prelingual sensorineural hearing loss. Methods Two groups (9-12, 19-22-year-old) of hearing-loss patients and matched normal hearing subjects received MR diffusion and MRS examination. The ROI for ADC measurement were placed on the Heschl gyrus (HG), and for NAA/Cr, Cho/Cr on the superior temporal gyrus(STG). Results There was no statistical difference among groups both in the NAA/Cr and Cho/Cr (P>0.05), Left side NAA/Cr 2.46±0.51, 2.49±0.52, 2.26±0.33;Right side NAA/Cr 2.26±0. 46, 2. 44±0. 45, 2. 27±0. 46. Left side Cho/Cr 0. 88±0. 21,0. 92±0. 18, 0. 87±0. 13 ; Right side Cho/Cr 0. 88 ± 0. 18, 0. 87 ± 0. 22, 0. 81 ± 0. 16. There was statistical difference of ADC value among normal hearing subjects and 9-12, 19-22-year-old hearing-loss patients(F = 4. 42, P < 0. 05, F = 11.37,P<0. 05). There was significant difference of ADC value between normal hearing and 19-22 year-oldhearing-loss (q = - 44. 89, P = 0. 008, q = - 54. 28, P = 0. 027) on both left and right HG, and there wassignificant difference between normal hearing and 9-12 year-old hearing-loss only on right HG (q =- 32. 54, P = 0. 000), Left side (860 ± 103), (885 ± 48), (905±77) mm<'2>/s, Right side (848 ± 73),(880 ± 61), (902 ± 52) mm2/s. Conclusion Compared with the normal hearing, the ADC value increased in 20-year-length of deafness. The NAA/Cr and Cho/Cr of STG showed no changes among the three groups.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of early stage Alzheimer's disease(AD)on white matter(WM)integrity using diffusion tensor imaging(DTI)and its relationship with cognitive function decline.MethodsDTI was performed in 32 subjects,including 14 early AD patients and 18 elder controls(ON)with a 1.5 T MR scanner. Fractional anisotropy(FA)and mean diffusivity(-D)values were computed and compared for 9 regions of interest(ROI).Eight standard neuropsychological tests were performed and compared between AD and ON to evaluate basic cognitive capacities of AD.Correlation analysis was applied between FA,(-D) values and scores of neuropsychological tests for all subjects.ResultsFA significantly decreased in splenium of the corpus callosum and the posterior parietal-temporal region(S2),and D significantly increased in the splenium in AD patients(P<0.05).AD patients showed lower scores compared with ON in all neuropsychological tests(P<0.05).FA of the splenium and S2 positively correlated with several tests scores,while (-D) of multiple ROIs negatively correlated with several tests scores (P<0.05).ConclusionsIn the early stage of AD,neuropathology has effect not only on cognitive function,but also on white matter structure,and they have strong relationship.AD patients show white matter changes in specific regions,which reflect loss in cortico-cortical connections.
