Regional cerebral blood flow is an index of cerebral metabolism. We have studied with the Xenon 113 inhalation method, regional cerebral blood flow (CBF) in patients with various types of depression and in remission. A left frontal hypervascularisation and a right posterior hypovascularisation have been found in primary major depression, but not in minor depression and bipolar depression in remission. These results confirm and complete results from other authors who have studied the physiopathology of depression with other technics.
局部脑血流量是脑代谢的一个指标。我们采用氙113吸入法研究了各类抑郁症患者及其缓解期的局部脑血流量（CBF）。在原发性重度抑郁症患者中发现左侧额叶血管增生和右侧后部血管减少，但在轻度抑郁症和双相抑郁症缓解期患者中未发现此现象。这些结果证实并完善了其他作者用其他技术研究抑郁症病理生理学所得出的结果。
