摘要
目的 观察犬急性脊髓损伤后的形态和功能改变。方法 制作犬T13脊髓左半横断损伤模型。分别于损伤前、损伤后 1周行MRI和DTI (SSFSE序列扫描 ,b =5 0 0s/mm2 ,扩散敏感梯度方向 =13 )检查 ,测量手术侧和非手术侧的ADC值及FA值 ,并对结果进行统计学分析。结果 正常犬脊髓左、右侧的ADC值为 (1.0 0± 0 .15 )× 10 -3 mm2 /s和 (1.0 1± 0 .17)× 10 -3 mm2 /s ,FA值为 0 .5 9± 0 .11和 0 .60± 0 .0 8,左右两侧无明显差异。脊髓损伤后手术侧ADC值升高为 (1.65± 0 .45 )× 10 -3 mm2 /s (t =4.3 66,P =0 .0 0 1)、FA值降低为 0 .3 0± 0 .17(t =-3 .749,P =0 .0 0 3 ) ;非手术侧无明显变化。结论 DTI能对实验性脊髓损伤后的观察提供有价值的信息。
Objective To observe the morphological and functional changes of acute injured canine spinal cord with MRI and MR diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). Methods Prior to and 1 week after injury, 12 adult canines suffered from left spinal cord hemisection at the level of T13 were examined by MRI and DTI. Axial T1 and T2 weighted images were obtained before the DTI sequence. The protocol of DTI was as following: SSFSE, TR/TE=12681/69.1 ms; ETL=84; slice thickness=5 mm with no gap; FOV=16 cm;NEX=4; matrix=128×128, b=500 s/mm 2, directions of diffusion sensitive gradients=13. The apparent diffusion coefficients (ADCs) and fractional anisotropy (FA) value of the spinal cord were calculated. Results The ADCs of normal canine spinal cord at T13 level were (1.00±0.15)×10 -3 mm 2/s and (1.01±0.17)×10 -3 mm 2/s for the left and right sides, and the FA values of the corresponding area were 0.59±0.11 and 0.60±0.08, respectively. There were not statistically significant differences between the ADCs and FA values obtained from the left and right side ( t=0.712, P =0.493; t=0.233, P =0.821, respectively). After injury, the ADC of the injured spinal cord increased to (1.65±0.45)×10 -3 mm 2/s ( t=4.366, P =0.001) and FA decreased to 0.30±0.17 ( t=-3.749, P =0.003). The ADC and FA value of the contralateral spinal cord varied similarly, but with no statistically significant difference [ADC=(1.22±0.06)×10 -3 mm 2/s, t=2.455, P =0.127; FA=0.48±0.15, t=-2.373, P =0.122]. Conclusion DTI can provide useful information of spinal cord damage in experimental spinal cord injury.
