目的:探讨基于体素内不相干运动扩散加权成像(IVIM-DWI)研究围产期HIV感染无症状型青少年脑扩散与灌注信息可行性及其变化特征。方法:收集临床确诊围产期HIV感染无症状青少年18例(HIV~+组)和来自艾滋病家庭年龄、性别匹配HIV阴性对照组(HIV-组)17例。受试者均行常规MR脑平扫和IVIM-DWI检查。IVIM-DWI选取7个b值,经MITK软件拟合和MRICroN软件测量获得双侧尾状核和额叶白质IVIM参数值的平均值(D值、D*值和f值)。独立样本t检验、Pearson相关性分析IVIM参数值与CD4~+T淋巴细胞计数、CD4/CD8比值的相关性。结果:与对照组比较,HIV~+组尾状核和额叶白质灌注扩散系数D*值有显著降低(P〈0.01);D*值与CD4~+T淋巴细胞计数、CD4/CD8比值呈显著正相关(尾状核r分别为0.719和0.640;额叶白质r分别为0.440和0.546;P〈0.05)。HIV~+组尾状核和额叶白质D值和f值差异无统计学意义,与CD4~+T淋巴细胞计数、CD4/CD8比值无显著相关性。结论:IVIM-DWI能敏感检测围产期HIV感染无症状型青少年尾状核和额叶白质微循环灌注不相干运动D*值的变化,D*值可能作为HIV感染脑部变化早期和进展评估的可视化标志物。
Objective:To explore the Intravoxel Incoherent Motion diffusion-weighted imaging(IVIMDWI)feasibility and change in the brain of adolescent with perinatal HIV infection.Methods:We collected eighteen children with perinatally HIV infection(HIV~+group)and seventeen HIV negative children matched aged and gender as control group.All subjects were examined on the brain by a 3.0T MR scanner using conventional cerebral sequences and IVIM-DWI(Seven b values).IVIM parameter values(D,D*and f value)could be got by fitting MITK software and measuring MRICroN software,while mean values were from bilateral caudate nucleus and frontal white matter.Correlation of independent sample t-test and Pearson correlation analysis between D,D*,f values and CD4~+T lymphocytes counts and CD4/CD8 Tlymphocytes were analyzed.Results:Compared with HIV-group,D*values of caudate nucleus and frontal white matter in HIV~+group significantly decreased(P0.01);D*values with CD4~+count and CD4/CD8 were significantly positively correlated(r of caudate nuclear:0.719 and 0.640;r of frontal white:0.440and0.546;P0.05).D and f values of caudate nucleus and frontal white matter showed no statistically difference,there was no significant correlation between D and f values to CD4~+count and CD4/CD8.Conclusion:IVIM-DWI can sensitively detect cerebral D*changes related microcirculation incoherent motion in caudate nucleus and frontal white matter of perinatal HIV infection asymptomatic adolescents,and D*value is a potential visual biomarker in estimating the HIV~+cerebral early change and progress.
