不同亚型注意缺陷多动障碍男童脑血流特征及其与执行功能的关系

Cerebral Blood Flow Characteristics and Executive Function in Different Subtypes of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

  • 摘要: 目的:基于动脉自旋标记(Arterial Spin Labeling,ASL)探讨注意缺陷多动障碍(Attention Deficit and Hyperactive Disorder,ADHD)不同亚型注意缺陷为主型( AttentionDeficit and Hyperactive Disorder-Inattentive,ADHD-I )及混合型( Attention Deficit andHyperactive Disorder-Combined,ADHD-C)儿童脑血流(Cerebral Blood Flow,CBF)的差异,并进一步研究这些差异与执行功能的关系,以深入理解ADHD的神经生物学基础。方法:本研究共纳入159名完成伪连续ASL (pseudo-continuous ASL,pcASL)扫描的被试,包括83名ADHD-I型患儿,51名ADHD-C型患儿及25名健康对照(Healthy Control,HC),所有被试均为男孩。使用行为评定执行功能问卷(家长版)(Behavior Rating Inventory of ExecutiveFunction-Parent Form,BRIEF)评估患者的生态执行功能。采用协方差分析(ANCOVA),探讨三组儿童在CBF上的差异,事后检验采用Dunn检验。对于存在组间差异的脑区,提取相应脑区的CBF值,并与上述BRIEF得分构建回归模型,进一步明确差异脑区与执行功能之间的关系。结果: ADHD-I、ADHD-C及HC三组在左侧颞中回的CBF(高斯随机场GaussianRandom Field,GRF校正:体素水平P <0.001,团块水平P <0.05,双侧检验)存在显著差异。Dunn事后检验(Bonferroni校正P <0.05)显示ADHD-C型与HC(P=0.000)、ADHD-C型与ADHD-I型(P=0.01)之间存在显著差异,ADHD-I型较其它两组表现出较低的局部CBF;而ADHD-I型与HC之间无显著差异。在与BRIEF量表得分的回归分析中,发现ADHD-C型的CBF值与计划/组织得分显著相关(b=-0.062,P=0.03)。结论: ADHD-I和ADHD-C两种亚型的局部脑血流存在显著差异。ADHD-C型在左侧颞中回的CBF值显著低于ADHD-I型和健康对照,降低的局部脑血流可能与ADHD-C型的执行功能缺陷有关,尤其在组织和计划能力方面。而ADHD-I型与HC的局部脑血流之间无显著差异。该结果为进一步理解ADHD亚型的神经生物学机制提供了新的视角。

     

    Abstract: Objective: This study aims to explore the differences in cerebral blood flow (CBF) among different subtypes of Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) predominantly inattentive type (ADHD-I) and combined type (ADHD-C) in children using Arterial Spin Labeling (ASL). Furthermore, it investigates the relationship between these differences and executive functions to gain a deeper understanding of the neurobiological basis of ADHD. Methods: The study included 159 male participants who completed pseudo-continuous ASL (pcASL) scans, comprising 83 children with ADHD-I, 51 children with ADHD-C, and 25 healthy controls (HC). The ecological executive function of the patients was assessed using the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function-Parent Form (BRIEF). Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used to explore differences in CBF among the three groups, with post hoc tests conducted using Dunn’s test. For brain regions showing intergroup differences, the corresponding CBF values were extracted and regression models were constructed with the BRIEF scores to further clarify the relationship between regional CBF differences and executive function. Results: Significant differences in CBF were observed in the left middle temporal gyrus among the ADHD-I, ADHD-C, and HC groups (Gaussian Random Field, GRF correction: voxel-level P <0.001, cluster-level P <0.05, bilateral test). Dunn’s post hoc test (Bonferroni correction P <0.05) showed significant differences between the ADHD-C and HC groups (P = 0.000) and between the ADHD-C and ADHD-I groups (P = 0.01), with the ADHD-I group showing lower local CBF compared to the other two groups. However, no significant differences were found between the ADHD-I and HC groups. Regression analysis with the BRIEF scores revealed a significant correlation between CBF in the ADHD-C group and planning/organization scores (b = -0.062, P = 0.03).Conclusion: There are significant differences in local cerebral blood flow between the ADHD-I and ADHD-C subtypes. The CBF in the left middle temporal gyrus is significantly lower in the ADHD-C group compared to the ADHD-I and HC groups. The reduced local CBF may be related to the executive function deficits in the ADHD-C subtype, particularly in organizational and planning abilities. No significant differences in local CBF were found between the ADHD-I and HC groups. These findings provide new insights into the neurobiological mechanisms of ADHD subtypes.
