To determine whether systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) affecting subcortical white matter volumes, deep gray matter volumes, and cortical thickness differ between groups of SLE patients with psychiatric (P-SLE), neurological (N-SLE), or nonneuropsychiatric (non-NPSLE) presentations.
Sixty-seven participants were divided into three groups (P-SLE [n = 19], N-SLE [n = 12], and non-NPSLE [n = 36]) and examined with a 1.5T MRI scanner. The images were segmented in FreeSurfer software into volumetric and cortical thickness measures using T 3D magnetization prepared rapid gradient echo-weighted imaging. For comparative analyses of volume, multivariate analyses of covariance (MANCOVA) were applied followed by Bonferroni post-hoc tests, with age as a covariate. For cortical thickness analyses, the groups were compared with the Query Design Estimate Contrast tool adjusted for age.
Globus pallidus volumes in both left (P ≤ 0.01) and right (P ≤ 0.05) hemispheres were larger in the N-SLE group than in the non-NPSLE group, and the left GP volume was greater in the N-SLE group than in the P-SLE group (P ≤ 0.05) (MANCOVA, post-hoc Bonferroni). The P-SLE group presented with thinning of cortical areas relative to the N-SLE (predominantly in the left parietal and right frontal and parietal regions) (P ≤ 0.05) and non-NPSLE (predominantly in parietal and occipital regions) (P ≤ 0.05) groups, whereas the N-SLE group presented with thickening of cortical areas (mostly right frontal and left parietal regions) relative to the non-NPSLE (P ≤ 0.05) and P-SLE groups.
N-SLE patients had greater local volumes and cortical thicknesses than the other two groups, whereas P-SLE patients presented with decreased volumes and cortical thinning. These findings provide evidence of distinct neuroanatomical abnormalities in neurological versus psychiatric manifestations of SLE.

确定患有精神性(P-SLE)、神经性(N-SLE)或非神经精神性(非NPSLE)表现的系统性红斑狼疮(SLE)患者组之间,SLE对皮质下白质体积、深部灰质体积和皮质厚度的影响是否存在差异。
67名参与者被分为三组(P-SLE组[n = 19]、N-SLE组[n = 12]和非NPSLE组[n = 36]),并使用1.5T MRI扫描仪进行检查。使用T 3D磁化准备快速梯度回波加权成像,在FreeSurfer软件中将图像分割为体积和皮质厚度测量值。对于体积的比较分析,应用多变量协方差分析(MANCOVA),随后进行Bonferroni事后检验,将年龄作为协变量。对于皮质厚度分析,使用针对年龄调整的查询设计估计对比工具对各组进行比较。
N-SLE组左(P≤0.01)、右(P≤0.05)半球苍白球体积均大于非NPSLE组,且N-SLE组左苍白球体积大于P-SLE组(P≤0.05)(MANCOVA,事后Bonferroni检验)。相对于N-SLE组(主要在左顶叶、右额叶和顶叶区域)(P≤0.05)和非NPSLE组(主要在顶叶和枕叶区域)(P≤0.05),P-SLE组出现皮质区域变薄;而相对于非NPSLE组(P≤0.05)和P-SLE组,N-SLE组出现皮质区域增厚(主要在右额叶和左顶叶区域)。
N-SLE患者的局部体积和皮质厚度大于其他两组,而P-SLE患者的体积减小且皮质变薄。这些发现为SLE的神经学与精神学表现中不同的神经解剖学异常提供了证据。
