吸烟成瘾者戒烟前后的静息态功能磁共振研究

Research on the rest functional magnetic resonance imaging before and after smoking cessation

为了发现吸烟成瘾者在戒烟前后的脑功能特征改变,探索戒烟过程的神经生理理论基础,14名吸烟成瘾者同意戒烟并完成了试验,另外11名健康不吸烟的志愿者参与了对照试验。采取两因素混合实验设计方法,以静息态功能磁共振影像技术为技术手段,利用区域一致性算法来研究吸烟成瘾者在戒烟前后的神经活动及其与正常人之间的差异,并对这些差异进行组内与组间交互分析。戒烟两周后,在补充运动区、中央旁小叶、距状裂周围皮层、楔叶和舌回等区域的Re Ho值明显上升,意味着在这些脑区的神经活动同步性增强,而在楔前叶和后扣带回脑区同步性降低。在补充运动区、中央旁小叶、中央前回、中央后回、眶部额上回等脑区存在组间交叉效应。本研究结果显示吸烟成瘾者戒烟2周后在补充运动区的功能显著增强。

The aim of this paper is to reveal the change of the brain function for nicotine addicts after smoking cessation, and explore the basis of neural physiology for the nicotine addicts in the process of smoking cessation. Fourteen subjects, who have a strong dependence on nicotine, have agreed to give up smoking and insist on completing the test, and 11 volunteers were recruited as the controls. The resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging and the regional homogeneity （ReHo） algorithm have been used to study the neural activity before and after smoking cessation. A two factors mixed design was used to investigate within-group effects and between-group effects. After 2 weeks＇ smoking cessation, the increased ReHo value were exhibited in the brain area of supplementary motor area, paracentral lobule, calcarine, cuneus and lingual gyrus. It suggested that the synchronization of neural activity was enhanced in these brain areas. And between-group interaction effects were appeared in supplementary motor area, paracentral lobule, precentral gyrus, postcentral gyrus, and superior frontal gyrus. The results indicate that the brain function in supplementary motor area of smoking addicts would be enhanced significantly after 2 weeks＇ smoking cessation.
