Objective To investigate the difference in the microstructure of gray matter nucleus in different movement subtypes of Parkinson’s disease (PD) by diffusion kurtosis imaging ( DKI) technique, and to analyze the correlation with clinical manifestations. Methods Ninety-seven patients with PD and 83 healthy controls performed conventional MRI sequence and DKI sequence scan. The PD patients were classi-fied into gait disorder subtype (PIGD,n=57) and tremor dominant subtype (TD,n=40)subtypes according to motor symptoms. Fractional anisotropy (FA),mean diffusivity (MD),axial diffusivity (Da),radial diffu-sivity(Dr),mean kurtosis (MK),axial kurtosis (Ka) and radial kurtosis (Dr) maps and data were genera-ted by software after processing. DKI was performed for all subjects and data was collected from different brain regions in both hemispheres,including red nucleus(RN),substantia nigra pars reticulate( SNr),sub-stantia nigra pars compacta(SNc),putamen(PUT),globus pallidus(GP),head of caudate nucleus (CN)and thalamus(THA). Results TD showed a higher MMSE score(P=0. 019),but lower modified Hoehn-Yahr score than that in PIGD (P<0. 001),there was no significant difference of age of onset,sex,limbs of onset or disease duration between two PD subgroups. Compared with healthy controls, both TD and PIGD showed down-regulated MD,Da and Dr and up-regulated Ka values(P<0. 001); MK(0. 83±0. 26,0. 80±0. 18) was increased in SNr both in TD and PIGD,while SNc,PUT and GP (0. 84± 0. 20,0. 75± 0. 07,0. 81± 0. 14) were decreased only in TD (P=0. 017,P=0. 010,P=0. 020,P<0. 001,P=0. 002). The Kr values of PUT and CN(0. 71±0. 17,0. 72±0. 14) were reduced in PIGD,while CN(0. 70±0. 14) were reduced in TD re-spectively (P=0. 002,P=0. 031,P=0. 007). The MK was lower in TD than that in PIGD (t=-2. 214,P=0. 029),and no significant difference was found in other grey matter nuclei between TD and PIGD ( P>0. 05). Moreover,there was no significant correlation between DKI value and disease duration,MMSE score or Hoehn-Yahr scale (P>0. 05) in TD and PIGD. Conclusion There is heterogeneity of clinical symptoms between these two subgroups of PD. DKI can quantify the microstructural changes of grey matter nucleus in different type PD patient.
