BACKGROUND: Bipolar disorder (BD) is a complex mental illness characterized by different mood states, including depression, mania/hypomania, and euthymia. This study aimed to comprehensively evaluate dynamic changes in intrinsic brain activity by using dynamic fractional amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations (dfALFF) and dynamic degree centrality (dDC) in patients with BD euthymia or depression and healthy individuals. METHODS: The resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging data were analyzed from 37 euthymic and 28 depressed patients with BD, as well as 85 healthy individuals. Using the sliding-window method, the dfALFF and dDC were calculated for each participant. These values were compared between the 3 groups using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). Additional analyses were conducted using different window lengths, step width, and window type to ensure the reliability of the results. RESULTS: The euthymic group showed significantly lower dfALFF and dDC values of the left and right cerebellum posterior lobe compared with the depressed and control groups (cluster level P < 0.05), while the latter two groups were comparable. Brain regions showing significant group differences in the dfALFF analysis overlapped with those with significant differences in the dDC analysis. These results were consistent across different window lengths, step width, and window type. CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggested that patients with euthymic BD exhibit less flexibility of temporal functional activities in the cerebellum posterior lobes compared to either depressed patients or healthy individuals. These results could contribute to the development of neuropathological models of BD, ultimately leading to improved diagnosis and treatment of this complex illness.
背景:双相情感障碍(BD)是一种复杂的精神疾病,其特征为不同的情绪状态,包括抑郁、躁狂/轻躁狂和心境正常。本研究旨在通过使用动态低频振幅分数(dfALFF)和动态中心度(dDC),全面评估BD心境正常或抑郁患者及健康个体大脑内在活动的动态变化。 方法:分析了37名BD心境正常患者、28名BD抑郁患者以及85名健康个体的静息态功能磁共振成像数据。采用滑动窗口法,为每位参与者计算dfALFF和dDC。使用单因素方差分析(ANOVA)比较三组之间的这些值。还使用不同的窗口长度、步长和窗口类型进行了额外分析,以确保结果的可靠性。 结果:与抑郁组和对照组相比,心境正常组左右小脑后叶的dfALFF和dDC值显著更低(聚类水平P < 0.05),而后两组相当。在dfALFF分析中显示出显著组间差异的脑区与在dDC分析中有显著差异的脑区重叠。这些结果在不同的窗口长度、步长和窗口类型中都是一致的。 结论:这些发现表明,与抑郁患者或健康个体相比,BD心境正常患者小脑后叶的时间功能活动灵活性较低。这些结果可能有助于BD神经病理学模型的发展,最终改善对这种复杂疾病的诊断和治疗。
