摘要
【目的】类淋巴系统调节脑脊液及间质液转运,可能是中枢神经系统(CNS)白血病的早期途径之一。本研究旨在基于血管周围间隙扩散张量成像分析(DTI-ALPS),探讨临床未诊断出CNS浸润的急性淋巴细胞性白血病(ALL)患儿脑类淋巴系统的改变。【方法】前瞻性纳入ALL患儿及典型发育(TD)儿童各25例,所有被试者均行颅脑DTI检查。使用协方差分析方法评估脑水扩散系数和ALPS指数的组间差异。使用斯皮尔曼等级相关分析评估有统计学意义的组间参数与ALL患儿生物学特征相关性。【结果】与TD儿童相比,ALL患儿的Dxassoc值(PFDR校正=0.048)减少而Dzassoc值(PFDR校正=0.033)增加,因此ALPS指数(PFDR校正<0.001)减少。ALL患儿ALPS指数与临床危险等级(rs=-0.47,P=0.018)、免疫分型(rs=-0.40,P=0.046)均呈负相关。【结论】临床未诊断CNS浸润的ALL患儿存在类淋巴系统功能障碍,提示类淋巴系统可能是白血病细胞浸润CNS的早期途径之一。DTI-ALPS方法可用于评估ALL患儿脑类淋巴功能受损情况,为探索ALL患儿CNS浸润的机制和早期诊断提供了新的方法。
【Objective】The glymphatic system regulates cerebral spinal fluid and interstitial fluid transport which might be one of the pathways of central nervous system(CNS)leukemia at the early stage.This study aimed to investigate the alteration of glymphatic system based on diffusion tensor image-analysis along the perivascular space(DTI-ALPS)in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia(ALL)without clinically diagnosed CNS infiltration.【Methods】Twenty-five ALL and typically developing(TD)children were prospectively recruited,and all subjects underwent DTI.Group differences in brain water diffusivities and ALPS-index were evaluated using the analysis of covariance.The Spearman correlation analysis was used to evaluate the relationship between biological characteristics and significant parameters in pediatric ALL.【Results】Compared with TDs,decreased D xassoc value(P FDR-corrected=0.048)and increased D zassoc value(P FDR-corrected=0.033)were found in pediatric ALL.Hence,lower ALPS-index was found in children with ALL(P FDR-corrected<0.001).ALPS-index was negatively associated with the risk classification(r s=-0.47,P=0.018)as well as immunophenotype(r s=-0.40,P=0.046)in pediatric ALL.【Conclusions】Our results show dysfunction of the glymphatic system is present-ed in pediatric ALL without clinically diagnosed CNS infiltration,which suggests that the glymphatic system might be one of pathway in the early-stage of ALL CNS infiltration.The DTI-ALPS method can be used to evaluate the change of glymphatic system,providing a new method for exploring the underlying mechanisms and early detection of pediatric ALL CNS infiltration.
