摘要
目的探讨MR血氧水平依赖成像(MR—BOLD)评价兔输尿管梗阻肾纤维化的可行性。方法将40只健康新西兰大白兔随机分为对照组(n=8)和兔输尿管梗阻(UUO)组(n=32),UUO组再随机分成四组(每组8只)。UUO组实验兔完全结扎左肾输尿管近段建立UUO模型,分别于术前、术后2、4、6和8周行MR冠状T:加权成像(T2WI)和轴位BOLD扫描,分别对应为UUO2、UUO4、UUO6和UUO8周亚组。MR扫描后立即切除左肾并行病理组织学检查。在BOLD图像上测量计算皮质(C)的E弛豫率(CR2^*)、髓质(M)的MR2^*和同层面肌肉的R2^*肌,计算C与M的标化财值(sR2^*),以及C和M分别在UUO前后的sR2^*的差值(△sR2^*)。采用独立样本t检验比较对照组、UUO组每个时间点皮髓质的sR2^*(sCR2^*、sMR2^*、sCR2^*对照、sMR2^*对照)的差异;对照组组内及UUO组组内sR2^*的两两比较采用LSD检验;UUO 2周、4周、6周及8周每一亚组内皮髓质的△sR2^*(△sR2^*、△sMR2^*)的比较采用独立样本t检验。结果UUO组各亚组的sR2^*均低于对照组对应时间点的sR2^*对照(P〈0.05),对照组与UUO组术前的sR2^*比较无统计学差异(P〉0.05)。UUO 2、4、6及8周左肾sCR2^*值分别为0.32±0.01、0.37±0.01、0.47±0.02和0.50±0.03;sMR2^*值分别为0.39±0.02、0.48±0.02、0.58±0.04和0.65±0.05。左肾C带,UUO 2周与6周、8周比较,UUO 4周与6周、8周比较差异均有统计学意义(均P〈0.01);左肾M带,UUO 2周与6周、8周比较,UUO 4周与8周比较差异均有统计学意义(均P〈0.01)。对照组各时间点之间sCR2^*对照和sMR2^*对照两两比较无明显差异(均P〉0.05)。UUO组各时间点左肾△sCR2^*分别为0.31±0.02、0.20±0.02、0.14±0.20、0.09±0.04;△sMR2^*分别为0.51±0.05、0.36±0.04、0.28±0.05、0.19±0.05。UUO 2、4及6周的△sCR2^*均小于△sMR2^*(P〈0.05);UUO 8周的△sCR2^*与△sMR2^*差异无统计学意义(P〉0.05)。结论肾纤维化时肾髓质的R?变化较皮质显著,MR—BOLD可以反映。肾纤维化发生发展的过程,对评价输尿管梗阻肾纤维化具有可行性和较大价值。
Objective To investigate the feasibility of blood oxygen level-dependent MR ( MR- BOLD) in assessing renal fibrosis of ureteral obstruction of rabbits. Methods Forty healthy New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into control group (n = 8 ) and unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) group (n = 32). The rabbits in the UUO group were subjected to unilateral ureteral obstruction of the left kidney. Coronal T2 weighted imaging ( T2 WI) and axial BOLD examinations were performed before operation, 2, 4, 6 and 8 W after operation ( each subgroup n = 8 ). After the examinations, nephrectomy was performed for histologic evaluation. The T2^* relaxation rate of the renal cortex ( CR2^* ) , medulla ( MR2^* ) and the same level of muscle( R2^* muscle ) were measured separately. The normalization of the cortex and medulla (sR2^*), and the difference of sR2 between renal cortex and medulla before and post UUO ( AsR2^* ) were calculated. The differences of sR2^* ( sCR2^*, sMR2^*, sCR2^* control, sMR2^* control ) at each time point between control and UUO group were compared by using independent sample t test. The LSD test was used to compare the sR2^* in the control with that in the UUO group. The AsCR2^* and AsMR2^* values of the subgroups at UUO 2, 4, 6 and 8 W were compared by independent sample t test. Results The sR2^* values of UUO group were all lower than those of control group ( all P 〈 0. 05 ) , while sR2^* control and sR2 in UUO group before operation were not significant different (P 〉 0. 05). The sCR2^* values of UUO 2, 4, 6 and 8 W were 0. 32 ± 0.01, 0.37 ±0.01, 0.47 ±0.02 and 0.50 ±0.03. The sMR2^* values were 0.39 ±0.02, 0.48 ±0.02, 0.58 ± 0. 04 and 0. 65 ± 0. 05. There were significant differences of sCR2 between UUO 2 W and 6 W, UUO 2 W and 8 W, UUO4 W and 6 W, UUO 4 W and 8 W (all P〈0.01).There were significant differences of sMR2^* between UUO 2 W and 6 W, UUO 2 W and 8 W, UUO 4 W and 8 W (all P 〈0. 01). No significant difference was founded between sCR2^* and sMR2 at each time point in control group ( P 〉 0. 05 ). The AsCR2^* values of UUO 2, 4, 6 and 8 W were 0. 31 ±0.02, 0. 20 ±0. 02, 0. 14 ±0.20, 0. 09 ±0. 04; the △sMR2^* values were 0. 51 ±0. 05, 0. 36 ±0. 04, 0. 28 ±0. 05, 0. 19 ±0. 05. The △sCR2^* values of UUO 2, 4 and 6 W were less than △sMR2^* ( P 〈 0. 05 ). There was no significant difference between AsCR2^* and △sMR2^* in UUO 8 W ( P 〉 0. 05 ). Conclusions The R2^* change in medulla resulted from renal fibrosis is more significant than cortex. MR-BOLD can reflect the process of renal fibrosis. It's feasible and of great value to use renal MR-BOLD for the assessment of renal fibrosis induced by unilateral ureteral obstruction.
