基于独立成分分析方法的海洛因成瘾者功能磁共振成像研究

Independent component analysis of fMRI data in heroin addiction

目的 使用独立成分分析（ICA）法分析功能磁共振（fMRI）数据研究线索诱导因素导致海洛因成瘾者复吸的神经网络. 方法 安徽医科大学附属省立医院神经外科自2010年2月至2010年12月对海洛因成瘾组（n=15,来自安徽省戒毒康复中心）和正常对照组（n=15,来自招募的志愿者）在接受吸毒相关场景视频刺激的同时进行fMRI扫描,然后使用ICA方法对数据进行分析和比较2组受试者脑区的激活情况. 结果 与正常对照组相比,海洛因成瘾组患者双侧前额叶、左前扣带回、双侧后扣带回、左侧顶叶、左侧颞下回的激活降低；双侧伏核、右侧海马以及部分枕叶的激活增强,差异有统计学意义（P＜0.05）. 结论 ICA方法是一种有效的任务相关fMRI数据分析方法,海洛因成瘾者学习记忆和奖赏系统相关脑区功能改变是线索诱发复吸的重要原因,主要涉及左前额叶、左顶叶、前后扣带回、海马、伏核等脑区.

Objective To detect the neuronal network activity of specific brain areas in heroin addicts under craving state induced by heroin related cues with independent component analysis （ICA） of functional MRI （fMRI） data. Methods Fifteen heroin addicts,admitted to our hospital from February 2010 to December 2010, and 15 healthy controls were recruited in the case-control study; they were performed whole brain scan with 3.0Tesla MR scanner when being presented with heroin related cues.ICA was performed on these data and their neuronal network activities were compared. Results As compared with those in the controls,the bilateral prefrontal cortex,the left anterior cingulated cortex,the bilateral posterior cingulated cortex, the left inferior temporal gyrus and the left parietal lobe enjoyed obviously decreased activity, while bilateral nucleus accumbens, the right hippocampus, part of the temporal lobe and the occipital lobe enjoyed significantly increased activity （P〈0.05）. Conclusion ICA is an advanced approach to identify fMRI data induced by related cues; the specific neuroanatomy mediated to cue-elicited heroin craving mostly locates in the learn-memory system and reward system,which involves the frontal cortex,the parietal lobe,the anterior eingulate,the posterior cingulate,the hippocampus and the nucleus accumbens.
