Twenty-eight Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into control group (CG) and cerebral ischemia group, and the latter was further divided into subgroups of different housing conditions: standard environment (SE) subgroup, individual living environment (IE) subgroup, and enriched environment (EE) subgroup. Focal cerebral ischemia was induced by the middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). Beam walking test was used to quantify the changes of overall motor function. Cerebral infarction and cerebral metabolism were studied by in vivo magnetic resonance imaging and 1H-magnetic resonance spectra, respectively. Neuron necrosis and apoptosis were detected by hematoxylin-eosin and TUNEL staining methods, respectively. The results showed that performance on the beam-walk test was improved in EE subgroup when compared to SE subgroup and IE subgroup. Cerebral infarct volume in IE subgroup was significantly larger than that in SE subgroup (P〈0.05) and EE subgroup (P〈0.05) on day 14 after MCAO. NAA/Cr and Cho/Cr ratios were lower in MCAO groups under different housing conditions as compared to those in CG (P〈0.05). NAA/Cr ratio was lower in IE subgroup (P〈0.05) and higher in EE subgroup (P〈0.05) than that in SE subgroup. NAA/ Cr ratio in EE was significantly higher than that in IE subgroup (P〈0.05). Cho/Cr ratio was decreased in MCAO groups as compared to that in CG (P〈0.05). A significant decrease in normal neurons in cerebral cortex was observed in MCAO groups as compared to CG (P〈0.05). The amount of normal neurons was less in IE subgroup (P〈0.05), and more in EE subgroup (P〈0.05) than that in SE subgroup after MCAO. The amotmt of normal neurons in EE subgroup was significantly more than that in IE subgroup after MCAO (P〈0.05). The ratio of TUNEL-positive neurons in EE was significantly lower than that in SE subgroup (P〈0.05) and IE subgroup (P〈0.05). Correlation analysis showed that the beam walking test was negatively correlated with NAA/Cr ratio (P〈0.05). Cerebral infarct volume was negatively correlated with both NAA/Cr ratio (P〈0.01) and Cho/Cr ratio (P〈0.01). The amount of normal cortical neurons was positively correlated with both NAA/Cr ratio (P〈0.0I) and Cho/Cr ratio (P〈0.05). The TUNEL-positive neurons showed a negative correlation with both NAA/Cr ratio (P〈0.01) and Cho/Cr ratio (P〈0.01). This study goes further to show that EE may improve neurological functional deficit and cerebral metabolism, decrease cerebral infarct volume, neuron necrosis and apoptosis, while IE may aggravate brain damage after MCAO.展开更多

However, the association between encephalic region activation and acupuncture, as well as the clinical significance of activation remain unclear. OBJECTIVE: Through the use of positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT), acute cerebral infarction patients were analyzed for global cerebral metabolism, cerebral infarction focus, peripheral edema, and pyramidal tract pathway changes, which were directly related to clinical symptoms. The influence of resuscitating acupuncture on cerebral glucose metabolism was analyzed in patients with acute cerebral infarction in basal ganglia. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTNG: Randomized, controlled, clinical trials were performed from March 2007 to October 2008 at the PET-CT Center of the General Hospital of Tianjin Medical University, China. PARTICIPANTS: Twelve patients with acute basal ganglia infarction were recruited from the First Affiliated Hospital of Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Tianjin Chinese Medicine Hospital, and Affiliated Hospital of Medical College of Chinese People's Armed Police Force. METHODS: The cerebral infarcted patients were randomly assigned to acupuncture and control groups. In addition to routine treatment, the acupuncture group was treated by acupuncture at the main acupoints for resuscitation [Neiguan (PC 6), Renzhong (DU 26), and Sanyinjiao (SP 6)], while the control group received routine treatment. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Before and after treatment, patients with acute cerebral infarction were evaluated for global brain, cerebral infarction focus, and surrounding edema and glucose metabolism in encephalic region of pyramidal tract conduction by 18-labeled fluorodeoxyglucose for PET-CT imaging. RESULTS: The resuscitating acupuncture therapy can significantly activate the metabolism of global brain, infarction center and surrounding edema in patients with cerebral infarction in basal ganglia, also has effects on the activation of glucose metabolism in the encephalic regions of pyramidal tract pathway (P 〈 0.05). CONCLUSION: Resuscitating acupuncture was superior to routine treatment for significantly activating glucose metabolism in patients with acute cerebral basal ganglia infarction.展开更多

Methods: The model of ventricular fibrillation of 8 min in 12 dogs was made, followed by open cardiopulmonary resuscitation, reperfusion with normal or high mean arterial pressure (MAP), and controlled ventilation to 4 h. Animals were randomly assigned into Group NT (normotensive reperfusion, n=6) and Group HT (hypertensive reperfusion, n=6). Cerebral arteriovenous (sagittal sinus) O 2 content difference (Ca-ssO 2) and venous (sagittal sinus) PO 2 (PssO 2) were determined before cardiac arrest (CA) and 30, 60, 120, and 240 min after CA. Results: In Group NT, Ca-ssO 2 was lower at 30 min (P<0.05) but higher at 240 min (P<0.01) after CA than that before CA. In Group HT, Ca-ssO 2 was not significantly different from that in Group NT before CA but was lower than that in Group NT at 30 min after CA (P<0.01). Ca-ssO 2 was not significantly different in Group NT and HT thereafter. In both groups, PssO 2 was both higher at 30 min after reperfusion (P<0.01) and at 240 min after reperfusion lower (P<0.05) than those before CA .At 30 min after reperfusion, PssO 2 was higher (P<0.01) in Group HT than that in Group NT, with insignificant difference between two groups. Conclusion: Cerebral O 2 delivery and uptake are mismatched after CA and resuscitation. Hypertensive reperfusion improves oxygen delivery to the brain early after CA.展开更多

In addition, protective effect of magnetic field, which acts as an iatrophysics, on ischemic brain tissues has been understood gradually. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of rotating magnetic field (RMF) on volume of cerebral infarction, cerebral edema and metabolism of free radicals in rats after cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury. DESIGN: Randomized controlled animal study. SETTING: Rehabilitation Center of disabled children, Liaoniang; Department of Rehabilitation, the Second Affiliated Hospital, China Medical University; Department of Rehabilitation Physiotherapy, the First Affiliated Hospital, China Medical University. MATERIALS: A total of 70 healthy Wistar rats aged 18-20 weeks of both genders were selected and randomly divided into 3 groups: sham operation group with 12 rats, control group with 20 rats and treatment group with 38 rats. The treatment group included 4 time points: immediate reperfusion with 6 ones, 6-hour reperfusion with 20 ones, 12-hour reperfusion with 6 ones and 18-hour reperfusion with 6 rats. Main instruments were detailed as follows: magnetic head of rotating magnetic device was 6 cm in diameter; magnetic induction intensity at the surface of magnetic head was 0.25 T in silence; the maximal magnetic induction intensity was 0.09 T at the phase of rotation; the average rotating speed was 2500 r per minute. METHODS: The experiment was carried out in the China Medical University in March 2003. Focal cerebral ischemic animal models were established with modified Longa’s method. Operation was the same in the sham operation, but the thread was inserted as 10 mm. Neurologic impairment was assessed with 5-rating method to screen out cases. Those survivals with grade 1 and grade 2 after ischemia for 2 hours and reperfusion for 24 hours were included in the control group and treatment group. Those in the sham operation group and control group were not treated with RMF. Magnetic head was directed towards the head of rats of the treatment group, and the magnetic head was about 7 mm from skin, treated for 15 minutes. The rats were decapitated to take out brains at 24 hours after reperfusion in each group. Water content of brain and volume of cerebral infarction were assessed with wet-dry weight method and TTC staining, respectively. Activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD), content of malondialdehyde (MDA) and change of brain histomorphology in brain tissue of ischemic side were analyzed. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① Volume of cerebral infarction and changes of water content in brain; ② measurements of SOD and MDA contents in brain tissue of rats in all groups. RESULTS: A total of 70 qualified animals were involved in the final analysis after rejecting the death and unqualified animal models. ① Water content of brain: Water content of brain in the treatment was less than that in the control group at any time point except the immediate time point, and cerebral edema was relieved [(2.48±0.22)%, (2.32±0.19)%, (2.23±0.36)%, (2.91±0.44)%, P < 0.05]. In addition, there were no significant differences among 6-hour, 12-hour and 18-hour reperfusion groups (P > 0.05). ② Volume of cerebral infarction: The absolute volume of cerebral infarction in the treatment group was smaller than that in the control group [(128.21±15.05), (171.22±40.50) mm3, t =2.438, P < 0.05], and the relative volume of cerebral infarction was smaller than that in the control group [(20.22±1.44)%, (25.17±3.85)%, t =2.95, P < 0.05]. ③ Contents of SOD and MDA in brain tissues: Compared with the control group, the SOD content in the brain tissue in the treatment group increased [(54.54±3.85), (69.52±5.88) kNU/g, t =5.568, P < 0.05], while the MDA content decreased [(0.85±0.06), (1.03±0.09) μmol/g, t =4.076, P < 0.05]. ④ General morphological observation: General morphology manifested that the edema was distinct in the right cerebral hemisphere in the control group, showing fat-like white, shallow anfractuosity, flat gyria, brittle tissue and easy to break up. The edema of right cerebral hemisphere was light and surface was hyperaemia in the treatment group. CONCLUSION: RMF may improve anti-oxidative ability of brain tissue of rats with acute focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury and reduce volume of cerebral infarction and degrees of cerebral edema.展开更多

Methods: A total of 6 cases of volunteer healthy subjects (3 males and 3 females) ranging in age from 22 to 36 years were subjected to this study. Changes of cerebral glucose metabolism before and after electro-scalp acupuncture were observed by using positron emission tomography (PET) and semi-quantifying analysis method. Electro-scalp acupuncture stimulation (50 Hz, 2 mA) of Middle Line of Vertex (Ding zhongxian,顶中线,MS5), Middle Line of Forehead (Ezhongxian, 额中线,MS1) and bilateral Lateral Line 1 of Forehead (Epangyixian,额旁一线,MS2) was administered for 30 minutes. Then cerebral regions of interest (ROIs) were chosen and their average glucose metabolism levels (radioactivity of 18 fluorine deoxyglucose) were analyzed. Results: After administration of electro-scalp acupuncture, the glucose metabolism levels in bilateral frontal lobes and bilateral caudate nuclei, left cingulate gyrus and right cerebellum increased significantly in comparison with those of pre stimulation (P<0.05). Conclusion: Electro-scalp acupuncture of MSI, MS2 and MS5 can increase the glucose metabolism of certain cerebral regions involving mental activity in healthy subjects.展开更多

Methods: Thirty Wuzhishan minipigs were randomly assigned to the control group (n=6), epinephrine group (Fp group, n=12) and SFI group (n=12). After 8 min of untreated ventricular fibrillation (VF), pigs in the EP group or SFI group were administered with either i=p (0.02 mg/kg) or SFI (1.0 mL/kg), respectively. After successful resuscitation, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) levels of glucose, pyruvate, lactate, glutamate and glycerol were measured at 1, 6, 12 and 24 h after recover from spontaneous circulation (ROSC). In addition, neurologic deficit score (NDS) was calculated at 24 h after ROSC. Surviving pigs were killed at 24 h after ROSC, and the brain tissue was obtained for ultra-microstructure examination. Results: Compared with the EP group, CSF glucose and pyruvate levels were higher (all P〈0.01), and lactate levels were lower in the SFI group (P〈0.01). Meanwhile, CSF glutamate and glycerol levels in the SFI group were lower in comparison to the EP group (all P〈0.05). In addition, SFI decreased NDS at 24 h after ROSC (P〈0.01), and alleviated the histopathological damage of the brain. Conclusions: SFI could alleviate brain injury after CA, which may be associated with improving cerebral metabolism.展开更多

Although many studies assessed the cerebral metabolism in patients with acute and persistent vegetative state after brain injury, few studies investigated the cerebral metabolism in patients with permanent vegetative state. In this study, we performed the voxel-based analysis of cerebral glucose metabolism and investigated the relationship between regional cerebral glucose metabolism and the severity of impaired consciousness in patients with permanent vegetative state after acquired brain injury.Methods We compared the regional cerebral glucose metabolism as demonstrated by F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography from 12 patients with permanent vegetative state after acquired brain injury with those from 12 control subjects. Additionally, covariance analysis was performed to identify regions where decreased changes in regional cerebral glucose metabolism significantly correlated with a decrease of level of consciousness measured by JFK-coma recovery scare. Statistical analysis was performed using statistical parametric mapping.Results Compared with controls, patients with permanent vegetative state demonstrated decreased cerebral glucose metabolism in the left precuneus, both posterior cingulate cortices, the left superior parietal lobule (Pcorrected 〈0.001), and increased cerebral glucose metabolism in the both cerebellum and the right supramarginal cortices (Pcorrected 〈0.001). In the covariance analysis, a decrease in the level of consciousness was significantly correlated with decreased cerebral glucose metabolism in the both posterior cingulate cortices (Puncorrected 〈0.005).Conclusion Our findings suggest that the posteromedial parietal cortex, which are part of neural network for consciousness, may be relevant structure for pathophysiological mechanism in patients with permanent vegetative state after acquired brain injury.展开更多
文摘The purpose of this study was to evaluate the roles of different housing environments in neurological function, cerebral metabolism, cerebral infarction and neuron apoptosis after focal cerebral ischemia. Twenty-eight Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into control group (CG) and cerebral ischemia group, and the latter was further divided into subgroups of different housing conditions: standard environment (SE) subgroup, individual living environment (IE) subgroup, and enriched environment (EE) subgroup. Focal cerebral ischemia was induced by the middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). Beam walking test was used to quantify the changes of overall motor function. Cerebral infarction and cerebral metabolism were studied by in vivo magnetic resonance imaging and 1H-magnetic resonance spectra, respectively. Neuron necrosis and apoptosis were detected by hematoxylin-eosin and TUNEL staining methods, respectively. The results showed that performance on the beam-walk test was improved in EE subgroup when compared to SE subgroup and IE subgroup. Cerebral infarct volume in IE subgroup was significantly larger than that in SE subgroup (P〈0.05) and EE subgroup (P〈0.05) on day 14 after MCAO. NAA/Cr and Cho/Cr ratios were lower in MCAO groups under different housing conditions as compared to those in CG (P〈0.05). NAA/Cr ratio was lower in IE subgroup (P〈0.05) and higher in EE subgroup (P〈0.05) than that in SE subgroup. NAA/ Cr ratio in EE was significantly higher than that in IE subgroup (P〈0.05). Cho/Cr ratio was decreased in MCAO groups as compared to that in CG (P〈0.05). A significant decrease in normal neurons in cerebral cortex was observed in MCAO groups as compared to CG (P〈0.05). The amount of normal neurons was less in IE subgroup (P〈0.05), and more in EE subgroup (P〈0.05) than that in SE subgroup after MCAO. The amotmt of normal neurons in EE subgroup was significantly more than that in IE subgroup after MCAO (P〈0.05). The ratio of TUNEL-positive neurons in EE was significantly lower than that in SE subgroup (P〈0.05) and IE subgroup (P〈0.05). Correlation analysis showed that the beam walking test was negatively correlated with NAA/Cr ratio (P〈0.05). Cerebral infarct volume was negatively correlated with both NAA/Cr ratio (P〈0.01) and Cho/Cr ratio (P〈0.01). The amount of normal cortical neurons was positively correlated with both NAA/Cr ratio (P〈0.0I) and Cho/Cr ratio (P〈0.05). The TUNEL-positive neurons showed a negative correlation with both NAA/Cr ratio (P〈0.01) and Cho/Cr ratio (P〈0.01). This study goes further to show that EE may improve neurological functional deficit and cerebral metabolism, decrease cerebral infarct volume, neuron necrosis and apoptosis, while IE may aggravate brain damage after MCAO.

文摘Objective: To study the changes between cerebral oxygen (O 2) delivery and uptake in dogs resuscitated under normotension or hypertension for 4 h. Methods: The model of ventricular fibrillation of 8 min in 12 dogs was made, followed by open cardiopulmonary resuscitation, reperfusion with normal or high mean arterial pressure (MAP), and controlled ventilation to 4 h. Animals were randomly assigned into Group NT (normotensive reperfusion, n=6) and Group HT (hypertensive reperfusion, n=6). Cerebral arteriovenous (sagittal sinus) O 2 content difference (Ca-ssO 2) and venous (sagittal sinus) PO 2 (PssO 2) were determined before cardiac arrest (CA) and 30, 60, 120, and 240 min after CA. Results: In Group NT, Ca-ssO 2 was lower at 30 min (P<0.05) but higher at 240 min (P<0.01) after CA than that before CA. In Group HT, Ca-ssO 2 was not significantly different from that in Group NT before CA but was lower than that in Group NT at 30 min after CA (P<0.01). Ca-ssO 2 was not significantly different in Group NT and HT thereafter. In both groups, PssO 2 was both higher at 30 min after reperfusion (P<0.01) and at 240 min after reperfusion lower (P<0.05) than those before CA .At 30 min after reperfusion, PssO 2 was higher (P<0.01) in Group HT than that in Group NT, with insignificant difference between two groups. Conclusion: Cerebral O 2 delivery and uptake are mismatched after CA and resuscitation. Hypertensive reperfusion improves oxygen delivery to the brain early after CA.

In addition, protective effect of magnetic field, which acts as an iatrophysics, on ischemic brain tissues has been understood gradually. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of rotating magnetic field (RMF) on volume of cerebral infarction, cerebral edema and metabolism of free radicals in rats after cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury. DESIGN: Randomized controlled animal study. SETTING: Rehabilitation Center of disabled children, Liaoniang; Department of Rehabilitation, the Second Affiliated Hospital, China Medical University; Department of Rehabilitation Physiotherapy, the First Affiliated Hospital, China Medical University. MATERIALS: A total of 70 healthy Wistar rats aged 18-20 weeks of both genders were selected and randomly divided into 3 groups: sham operation group with 12 rats, control group with 20 rats and treatment group with 38 rats. The treatment group included 4 time points: immediate reperfusion with 6 ones, 6-hour reperfusion with 20 ones, 12-hour reperfusion with 6 ones and 18-hour reperfusion with 6 rats.

The rats were decapitated to take out brains at 24 hours after reperfusion in each group. Water content of brain and volume of cerebral infarction were assessed with wet-dry weight method and TTC staining, respectively. Activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD), content of malondialdehyde (MDA) and change of brain histomorphology in brain tissue of ischemic side were analyzed. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① Volume of cerebral infarction and changes of water content in brain; ② measurements of SOD and MDA contents in brain tissue of rats in all groups. RESULTS: A total of 70 qualified animals were involved in the final analysis after rejecting the death and unqualified animal models. ① Water content of brain: Water content of brain in the treatment was less than that in the control group at any time point except the immediate time point, and cerebral edema was relieved [(2.48±0.22)%, (2.32±0.19)%, (2.23±0.36)%, (2.91±0.44)%, P < 0.05]. In addition, there were no significant differences among 6-hour, 12-hour and 18-hour reperfusion groups (P > 0.05). ② Volume of cerebral infarction: The absolute volume of cerebral infarction in the treatment group was smaller than that in the control group [(128.21±15.05), (171.22±40.50) mm3, t =2.438, P < 0.05], and the relative volume of cerebral infarction was smaller than that in the control group [(20.22±1.44)%, (25.17±3.85)%, t =2.95, P < 0.05]. ③ Contents of SOD and MDA in brain tissues: Compared with the control group, the SOD content in the brain tissue in the treatment group increased [(54.54±3.85), (69.52±5.88) kNU/g, t =5.568, P < 0.05], while the MDA content decreased [(0.85±0.06), (1.03±0.09) μmol/g, t =4.076, P < 0.05]. ④ General morphological observation: General morphology manifested that the edema was distinct in the right cerebral hemisphere in the control group, showing fat-like white, shallow anfractuosity, flat gyria, brittle tissue and easy to break up. The edema of right cerebral hemisphere was light and surface was hyperaemia in the treatment group. CONCLUSION: RMF may improve anti-oxidative ability of brain tissue of rats with acute focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury and reduce volume of cerebral infarction and degrees of cerebral edema.

Methods: A total of 6 cases of volunteer healthy subjects (3 males and 3 females) ranging in age from 22 to 36 years were subjected to this study. Changes of cerebral glucose metabolism before and after electro-scalp acupuncture were observed by using positron emission tomography (PET) and semi-quantifying analysis method. Electro-scalp acupuncture stimulation (50 Hz, 2 mA) of Middle Line of Vertex (Ding zhongxian,顶中线,MS5), Middle Line of Forehead (Ezhongxian, 额中线,MS1) and bilateral Lateral Line 1 of Forehead (Epangyixian,额旁一线,MS2) was administered for 30 minutes. Then cerebral regions of interest (ROIs) were chosen and their average glucose metabolism levels (radioactivity of 18 fluorine deoxyglucose) were analyzed. Results: After administration of electro-scalp acupuncture, the glucose metabolism levels in bilateral frontal lobes and bilateral caudate nuclei, left cingulate gyrus and right cerebellum increased significantly in comparison with those of pre stimulation (P<0.05). Conclusion: Electro-scalp acupuncture of MSI, MS2 and MS5 can increase the glucose metabolism of certain cerebral regions involving mental activity in healthy subjects.
文摘Objective To explore effects of decompressive craniectomy on cerebral blood flow volume and brain metabolism in different aged patients with severe traumatic brain injury. Methods 71 cases were divided into three groups according age: group A( 【 30 years) ,group B ( 30 ~ 50 years) 。
文摘Objective: To investigate the effects of Shenfu Injection (参附注射液, SFI) on cerebral metabolism in a porcine model of cardiac arrest (CA). Methods: Thirty Wuzhishan minipigs were randomly assigned to the control group (n=6), epinephrine group (Fp group, n=12) and SFI group (n=12). After 8 min of untreated ventricular fibrillation (VF), pigs in the EP group or SFI group were administered with either i=p (0.02 mg/kg) or SFI (1.0 mL/kg), respectively. After successful resuscitation, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) levels of glucose, pyruvate, lactate, glutamate and glycerol were measured at 1, 6, 12 and 24 h after recover from spontaneous circulation (ROSC). In addition, neurologic deficit score (NDS) was calculated at 24 h after ROSC. Surviving pigs were killed at 24 h after ROSC, and the brain tissue was obtained for ultra-microstructure examination. Results: Compared with the EP group, CSF glucose and pyruvate levels were higher (all P〈0.01), and lactate levels were lower in the SFI group (P〈0.01). Meanwhile, CSF glutamate and glycerol levels in the SFI group were lower in comparison to the EP group (all P〈0.05). In addition, SFI decreased NDS at 24 h after ROSC (P〈0.01), and alleviated the histopathological damage of the brain. Conclusions: SFI could alleviate brain injury after CA, which may be associated with improving cerebral metabolism.
文摘Background Permanent vegetative state is defined as the impaired level of consciousness longer than 12 months after traumatic causes and 3 months after non-traumatic causes of brain injury. Although many studies assessed the cerebral metabolism in patients with acute and persistent vegetative state after brain injury, few studies investigated the cerebral metabolism in patients with permanent vegetative state. In this study, we performed the voxel-based analysis of cerebral glucose metabolism and investigated the relationship between regional cerebral glucose metabolism and the severity of impaired consciousness in patients with permanent vegetative state after acquired brain injury.Methods We compared the regional cerebral glucose metabolism as demonstrated by F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography from 12 patients with permanent vegetative state after acquired brain injury with those from 12 control subjects. Additionally, covariance analysis was performed to identify regions where decreased changes in regional cerebral glucose metabolism significantly correlated with a decrease of level of consciousness measured by JFK-coma recovery scare. Statistical analysis was performed using statistical parametric mapping.Results Compared with controls, patients with permanent vegetative state demonstrated decreased cerebral glucose metabolism in the left precuneus, both posterior cingulate cortices, the left superior parietal lobule (Pcorrected 〈0.001), and increased cerebral glucose metabolism in the both cerebellum and the right supramarginal cortices (Pcorrected 〈0.001). In the covariance analysis, a decrease in the level of consciousness was significantly correlated with decreased cerebral glucose metabolism in the both posterior cingulate cortices (Puncorrected 〈0.005).Conclusion Our findings suggest that the posteromedial parietal cortex, which are part of neural network for consciousness, may be relevant structure for pathophysiological mechanism in patients with permanent vegetative state after acquired brain injury.
