Abstract

Presbycusis is a major public issue that affecting elderly adults. However, the neural substrates between normal cognition and cognitive deficits in these patients need to be illustrated. 47 patients with presbycusis and 33 well-matched healthy controls were recruited in present study. Each subject underwent pure-tone audiometry (PTA), MRI scanning and cognition evaluations, then we found 22 patients with cognitive deficits and 25 patients with common cognition. We analyzed the Degree centrality (DC) characteristics among three groups, and try to recognize key nodes which contribute significantly. Subsequent functional connectivity analysis was applied using the key nodes as seeds. Compared with controls, presbycusis without cognitive impairments showed deceased DC in superior temporal gyrus (STG), inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) and supramarginal gyrus (SMG). Additionally, presbycusis with cognitive impairments showed enhanced DC in fusiform gurus (FFG), cerebellum and para-hippocampal gyrus (PHG), while weakened DC in SMG, middle frontal gyrus (IFG) and inferior Parietal lobule (IPL). Compared with normal cognition, increased DC value of cerebellum and STG, as well as decreased DC value of IPL in presbycusis with cognitive impairments were observed. We noticed that SMG may play an important role. Then the left and right SMG were used as seeds in functional connections analysis. With the seed set at left SMG, presbycusis without cognitive impairments showed decreases connections with cerebellum, temporal pole (TP), superior temporal gyrus (STG) and median cingulate cortex (MCC). Presbycusis with cognitive impairments showed weakened connectivity with cerebellum, IFG, IPL and superior frontal gyrus (SFG). The right SMG showed decrease connections with cerebellum, middle temporal gyrus (MTG), STG and increase connection with middle frontal gyrus (MFG) in presbycusis without cognitive impairments. While the right SMG showed enhanced connections with left TP, caudate, anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), angular, SFG and weakened connectivity with right SFG presbycusis with cognitive impairments. In comparison with normal cognition and impaired cognition, MFG, IFG, PHG, rolandic operculum and cerebellum were involved. These findings enriched our understanding of the neural mechanisms underlying cognitive impairments associated with presbycusis and may serve as a potential imaging biomarker for investigating and predicting cognitive difficulties.

摘要

老年性聋是一个影响老年人的重大公共问题。然而,这些患者正常认知与认知缺陷之间的神经基质仍有待阐明。本研究招募了47例老年性聋患者和33例匹配良好的健康对照。每位受试者均接受了纯音听力测定(PTA)、MRI扫描和认知评估,然后我们发现22例有认知缺陷的患者和25例认知正常的患者。我们分析了三组之间的度中心性(DC)特征,并试图识别出有显著贡献的关键节点。随后以关键节点为种子进行了功能连接分析。与对照组相比,无认知障碍的老年性聋患者在颞上回(STG)、额下回(IFG)和缘上回(SMG)的DC降低。此外,有认知障碍的老年性聋患者在梭状回(FFG)、小脑和海马旁回(PHG)的DC增强,而在SMG、额中回(IFG)和顶下小叶(IPL)的DC减弱。与正常认知相比,有认知障碍的老年性聋患者小脑和STG的DC值增加,IPL的DC值降低。我们注意到SMG可能起重要作用。然后将左右SMG作为功能连接分析的种子。以左侧SMG为种子时,无认知障碍的老年性聋患者与小脑、颞极(TP)、颞上回(STG)和扣带前回(MCC)的连接减少。有认知障碍的老年性聋患者与小脑、IFG、IPL和额上回(SFG)的连接减弱。在无认知障碍的老年性聋患者中,右侧SMG与小脑、颞中回(MTG)、STG的连接减少,与额中回(MFG)的连接增加。而在有认知障碍的老年性聋患者中,右侧SMG与左侧TP、尾状核、扣带前回(ACC)、角回、SFG的连接增强,与右侧SFG的连接减弱。与正常认知和认知障碍相比,MFG、IFG、PHG、中央沟盖和小脑均有参与。这些发现丰富了我们对老年性聋相关认知障碍潜在神经机制的理解,并可能作为研究和预测认知困难的潜在影像学生物标志物。
