Abstract:
This research was aimed to discuss magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) evaluation of recovery effects of cerebral nerve function in comprehensive treatment of poststroke depression (PSD) by intelligence-based hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Low-rank matrix algorithm was adopted to denoise MRI images of patients with PSD, and mean square error (MSE) and peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) were the evaluation indicators of the results of image denoising. 118 patients were randomly divided into the control group (administered escitalopram oxalate) and the research group (hyperbaric oxygen therapy was implemented based on the treatment in control group). National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), and changes of norepinephrine (NE) level of patients in two groups were compared before and after treatment. The value of MSE of MRI images processed by low-rank matrix algorithm was 92.39, which was higher than that calculated by nonlocal mean (NLM) algorithm (80.54). The PSNR value calculated by low-rank matrix algorithm was 25.35, which was lower than that calculated by NLM algorithm (29.07). In contrast, NIHSS score and HAMD score of the research group after treatment were lower than those of the control group, while PSQI score of the research group was higher than that of the control group. The level of GFAP of the research group was at 852.46 ± 94.47, which was significantly lower than that of the control group, reaching 948.53 ± 98.42. However, the level of NE of the research group was 1478.59 ± 99.85, which was higher than that of the control group (1061.80 ± 98.02). All the comparisons of above indicators had statistical meaning (P < 0.05). The low-rank matrix algorithm can help in clinical diagnosis and treatment to provide more accurate MRI images. In addition, hyperbaric oxygen comprehensive therapy can promote the recovery of neurological function in patients with poststroke depression and significantly improve the depressive state and sleep quality of patients.
