概括
肌缩侧面硬化症 (ALS) 涉及灰色物质的微观结构变化,特别是皮质区域的神经元密度指数 (NDI) 和方向分散指数 (ODI) 的降低. 这些变化与疾病严重程度相关,这表明NODDI是潜在的生物标志物.
科学领域:
- 神经成像是一种神经成像.
- 神经学 神经学
- 生物标志物 生物标志物
背景情况:
- 肌缩侧面硬化症 (ALS) 的特点是白质异常,但灰质变化仍然不太了解.
- 研究皮质微结构异常对于全面了解ALS病理学至关重要.
研究的目的:
- 用先进的神经成像技术评估ALS患者皮质微结构异常.
- 确定这些微观结构变化与ALS疾病严重程度之间的关联.
主要方法:
- 使用扩散权重成像来估计神经元导向分散和密度成像 (NODDI) 参数 (NDI和ODI).
- 采用基于灰色质的空间统计 (GBSS) 来对皮层微观结构进行素分析.
- 相关的NODDI参数与ALS功能评级尺度修订 (ALSFRS-R) 评分.
主要成果:
- 在多个皮层区域观察到NDI的显著减少,包括前中心,皮和前额叶皮.
- 在某些特定区域,如前中心和下叶,观察到ODI的减少.
- 在左前中枢和后中枢环中进行的NDI显示与ALS疾病严重程度有正相关性.
结论:
- 在ALS中存在灰质微观结构损伤,以运动和非运动区域的NDI和ODI减少为标志,在ALS中存在.
- NODDI参数显示出作为评估ALS疾病进展的体内成像生物标志物的前景.
- GBSS是一种有效的方法来检测ALS的皮质微结构异常.

The Effect of Aging on Tissues
Several body functions deteriorate with age. The external signs of aging are easily identifiable. For example, the skin becomes dry, less elastic, and thins out, forming wrinkles. The skin of the face begins to appear looser due to a decrease in the levels of elastic and collagen fibers in the connective tissue. Additionally, melanin production in the hair follicle decreases with age, resulting in gray hair. Moreover, the senses of sight and hearing decline, so glasses and hearing aids may...
Changes in Skin Color: Clinical Perspectives
The first thing a clinician sees is the skin, so the examination of the skin should be part of any thorough physical examination. Most skin disorders are relatively benign, but a few, including melanomas, can be fatal if untreated. A couple of the more noticeable disorders, albinism and vitiligo, affect the appearance of the skin and its accessory organs.
