摘要: 目的·探索额叶-边缘系统的功能连接特征在预测精神病临床高危综合征(clinical high-risk for psychosis, CHR)患者转化为精神分裂症中的作用。方法·募集CHR被试164例和健康对照89例,采集静息态功能性磁共振成像,计算基线时额叶(内侧前额叶、双侧眶额)和边缘系统(双侧海马、双侧杏仁核)脑区之间的功能连接强度。CHR组根据1年随访的临床结局被细分为3个亚组,即转化组(CHR-C组,转为精神分裂症)、症状组(CHR-S组,仍符合CHR诊断标准)和缓解组(CHR-R组,症状缓解)。比较额叶-边缘系统功能连接的组间及亚组间差异,分析其与脑区的交互作用,以及与阳性、阴性症状的相关性。结果·额叶-边缘系统功能连接的组别主效应不显著(P=0.110),但分亚组时存在显著的亚组与脑区交互作用(P=0.049)。CHR-C组双侧眶额-双侧杏仁核的功能连接强度显著低于健康对照组和CHR-R组(均P<0.05),3个CHR亚组左侧眶额-左侧海马功能连接强度均显著低于健康对照组(均P<0.05)。CHR-C组左侧眶额-右侧杏仁核功能连接异常与阴性症状严重程度呈显著正相关(P<0.05),而左侧眶额-双侧海马及右侧眶额-左侧海马功能连接异常与阳性症状严重程度呈显著负相关(均P<0.05)。结论·CHR患者可能普遍存在眶额-海马功能连接降低,而眶额-杏仁核功能连接低下可能对CHR患者后期转化为精神分裂症有一定的预测作用。

Abstract:

Objective · To explore the role of functional connectivity (FC) within the fronto-limbic network in predicting the onset of psychosis in the subjects with clinical high-risk for psychosis (CHR). Methods · A total of 164 CHR subjects and 89 healthy controls (HC) who underwent resting-state functional MRI were recruited. FCs between frontal [medial prefrontal cortex and bilateral orbitofrontal cortex (OFC)] and limbic (bilateral hippocampus and bilateral amygdala) brain regions at baseline were calculated. CHR subjects were further divided into 3 subgroups, i.e., CHR converters (CHR-C) group, symptomatic CHR (CHR-S) group and remitted CHR (CHR-R) group according to clinical outcome after one-year follow-up. The FCs of fronto-limbic network were compared between the groups and among the subgroups, and their interaction with brain regions, as well as their correlations with positive and negative symptoms were analyzed. Results · There was no significant main effect of group (P=0.110), but a significant interaction of subgroups and brain regions (P=0.049). CHR-C group had lower FC between bilateral OFC and bilateral amygdala than HC group and CHR-R group (all P<0.05). The FCs between left OFC and left hippocampus in the three CHR subgroups were all lower than that in HC group (all P<0.05). In addition, the FC between left OFC and right amygdala was positively correlated with the severity of negative symptoms in CHR-C group, while the FCs between left OFC and bilateral hippocampus and between right OFC and left hippocampus were negatively correlated with the severity of positive symptoms in CHR-C group. Conclusion · The decrease of OFC-hippocampus connectivity may be common in the subjects with CHR, while the decrease of OFC-amygdala connectivity may predict CHR subjects will convert to schizophrenia in the later stage.
