MRI was performed for further texture analysis and changes in texture parameters, including mean grey levels, contrast and homogeneity, and they were found in Ts65Dn compared to diploid littermates (2n). These phenotypic changes were different in the hippocampus and cerebellum, since in Ts65Dn mean grey levels increased in the cerebellum and decreased in the hippocampus. In addition, proton NMR spectra revealed differences in metabolite ratios. Levels of N-acetylaspartate(NAA)and glutamate(Glu), were lower compared to total creatine levels (CX), in the Ts65Dn brain. However, the most striking finding was an increase in the concentration of myo-inositol(Ins)and choline(Cho)in the hippocampus, whereas the Ins concentration was reduced in the cerebellum. Overall, these data illustrate that MRI and MRS are valuable assesment tools sufficiently sensitive to detect associated changes in different brain areas, thus providing new insight into the causative role of dosage-sensitive genes in the Ts65Dn DS mouse model.展开更多

There are inconsistent findings on the relationship among marrow fat content, bone mineral density and apparent diffusion coefficient （ADC）. This study aimed to prospectively explore the efficacy of MR spectroscopy （MRS） and diffusion-weighted MR imaging （DWl） in detecting vertebral marrow changes in postmenopausal women with varying bone densities. Methods Both MRS and DWl of the lumber spine were performed in 102 postmenopausal women （mean age, （67.3±6.5） years; range, 55-83 years）, who underwent dual X-ray absorptiometry. Marrow fat content and ADC were compared and correlated among three groups： 24 with normal bone density, 31 with osteopenia and 47 with osteoporosis. Results Vertebral marrow fat content was significantly increased in the osteoporotic group （（65.60±7.68）%, P 〈0.001） and the osteopenic group （（57.68±6.45）%, P 〈0.001）, when compared with the normal bone density group （（51.67±3.27）%）. ADC values were significantly decreased in the osteoporotic group （（0.39±0.03）×10^-3mm^2/s, P 〈0.001） and in the osteopenic group （（0.42±0.02）×10^-3mm^2/s, P 〈0.001）, when compared with the normal bone density group （（0.47±0.03）×10^-3mm^2/s）. The marrow fat content negatively correlated with both bone density （r=-0.731, P 〈0.001） and marrow ADC （r=-0.572, P 〈0.001）. The bone density positively correlated with the ADC values （r=0.802, P 〈0.001）. Conclusions Postmenopausal women experience a corresponding increase in vertebral marrow fat content as the bone density decreases. Marrow fat content and ADC correlate to the bone density. MRS and DWl may indirectly assess the early bone marrow changes in postmenopausal women.展开更多
