The aim of the current study was to explore changes of relative regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) in short-term and long-term abstinent methamphetamine (MA) users.
Relative rCBF in 40 abstinent MA users and 23 healthy comparison subjects was compared by the technetium-99m-hexamethyl-propylene amine oxime ((99m)Tc-HMPAO) single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). Relative rCBF in areas that were found to differ significantly was also compared in groups of MA users with short-term (<6 months) and long-term (>or=6 months) abstinence.
MA users showed decreased relative rCBF in the right anterior cingulate cortex (Brodmann area 32) relative to healthy comparison subjects. Long-term abstinent MA users had significantly greater rCBF than short-term abstinent MA users.
We report that abstinent MA users have decreased rCBF in the anterior cingulate cortex with smaller relative decreases in subjects with prolonged abstinence.
本研究的目的是探讨短期和长期戒断甲基苯丙胺(MA)使用者的相对局部脑血流量(rCBF)变化。
通过99m锝-六甲基丙烯胺肟((99m)Tc-HMPAO)单光子发射计算机断层扫描(SPECT)比较40名戒断MA使用者和23名健康对照者的相对rCBF。还对短期(<6个月)和长期(≥6个月)戒断的MA使用者组中发现有显著差异区域的相对rCBF进行了比较。
与健康对照者相比,MA使用者右侧前扣带回皮质(布罗德曼区32)的相对rCBF降低。长期戒断的MA使用者的rCBF显著高于短期戒断的MA使用者。
我们报告,戒断MA使用者的前扣带回皮质rCBF降低,长期戒断者的相对降低幅度较小。
