摘要
目的观察老年性痴呆病(AD)患者临床神经心理学变化和海马体积改变相关性意义。方法对32例AD病人行MRI冠状位扫描,用计算机图像定量分析技术测量海马体积(HPV);从MRI片上测出海马结构(HF)和脉络膜间隙(CF)结构线性比值(HF/CF);与神经心理学检测评分进行相关性统计;同时与正常人对比。结果AD病人HPV、HF/CF均小于对照组(P<0.001)。HPV、HF/CF同侧比较均有明显相关性(r=0.77~082)。两侧HPV、HF/CF与记忆商数(MQ)、简易智力测验评分也有明显相关性,尤以MQ最为明显(075~078,P<0.01)。结论轻度AD患者即有海马结构萎缩。用简易方法直接阅MRI片测算HF/CF,同样能够对AD病人的海马结构加以评估。
Objective To observe the correlation between clinical neuropsychological changes and hippocampal volume (HPV) changes in Alzheimer′s disease (AD). Through direct reading of MRI film, early changes of hoppocmpal formation (HF) in AD were found. Methods Thirty two AD patients and a group of controls were examined with coronal MRI scans. HPV was determined with computer image measurement analytic technique and the linear ratio of HF and choroid fissure (HF/CF) measured according to the MRI films. A correlative statistic analysis between HF/CF and scales of neuropsychological test was done. Results HPV and HF/CF in AD were less than those in the control group ( P <0.001). HPV and HF/CF had a significant correlative relationship on the same side ( r =0.77~0.82). HPV, HF/CF and memory quotient (MQ), with MQ the most significant ( r =0.75~0.78, P <0.01). Conclusion It is suggested that AD patients in early stage have HF atrophic changes. By direct reading of MRI film and estimating the ratio of HF/CF, early changes of HF in AD patients can be evaluated and these changes will provide the basis for early clinical diagnosis of AD.
