目的:探索锰离子增强磁共振成像(MEMRI)在大鼠视觉中枢核团立体定位中的价值。方法 SD 大鼠36只,分成3组。A 组(1 6只)使用 MEMRI 定位法;B 组(1 6只)使用传统解剖图谱定位;C 组(4只)使用 A 组所取得的数据定位并穿刺中枢核团。A 组定位方法为提前在单侧眼球内注射氯化锰(MnCL2)水溶液(30 mmol/L×3μL),24 h 后行 MRI 确定对侧上丘、外侧膝状体位置;B 组为根据图谱确定上述核团位置。随后,A、B 2组均经颅骨穿刺视觉核团后,注入3%荧光金溶液1μL,5 d 后处死大鼠并取出视网膜铺片,在荧光显微镜下观察视网膜神经节细胞(RGCs)标记情况。C 组则根据 A 组中取得的定位数据确定核团位置,穿刺并注射 MnCL2溶液(30 mmol/L×0.5μL)1 h 后,使用 MRI 观察强化区域,直接验证 MEMRI 定位数据的可靠性。结果 A 组RGCs 标记成功15只(93.8%),B 组 RGCs 标记成功10只(62.5%)。A 组的成功率高于 B 组(P =0.041,〈0.05)。C 组 4只均准确命中核团。结论 MEMRI 在大鼠的视觉中枢核团立体定位中可提高定位准确性。
Objective To explore the value of manganese-enhanced MRI in locating the rat visual nuclei.Methods The visual nuclei of thirty-six rats were located by 3 different ways including individual MEMRI locating (group A,n= 1 6),anatomical atlas locating (group B,n=1 6)and direct puncture by using the data obtained in MEMRI (group C,n=4).After unilateral intra-vitreal injection of MnCL2 (30 mmol/L×3 μL)in group A,the brain MRI was performed 24 h later.The location coordinate of lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) and superior colliculus (SC)were recorded individually.The nuclei injections (3% fluorogold solution,1 μL)were performed by using different location coordinate in groups A and B.The rat’s retinas were examined under fluorescence microscope 5 days later,and the results were compared between the two groups.After brain nucleus puncture injection (30 mmol/L MnCL2 solution,0.5 μL),MRI was performed 1 h later in group C.Results The success rate was 93.8% (1 5/1 6)in group A,and 65.5% (10/1 6)in group B.The difference between groups was statistically significant (P〈0.05).All the injection locations of C group were agreed with atlas.Conclusion MEMRI in the visual nucleus stereotactic can improve the accuracy of location.
