[Abstract] Objective: To discuss the change of the brain metabolites on the bilateral hippocampus of different age groups and different parts in normal Chinese middle-aged group by using Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI), to provide the reference for early clinical diagnosis and treatment of hippocampal-related diseases.Materials and Methods: From community healthy volunteers, we selected 276 according to the standards, who were divided into three groups according to age, A group: prime period, 41 to 48 years, 90 cases; B group: steady period, 49 to 55 years, 93 cases; C group: adjustment period, 56 to 65 years, 93 cases. All subjects underwent routine conventional MRI and bilateral hippocampal DTI examination. The parameters ADC, FA values were measured. To analyse the differences of the parameters between different genders, sides, groups and parts, and discuss the correlation between parameters and age.Results: There was no statistically significant difference of ADC and FA values of the hippocampus between different sides and genders (P>0.05). The values had statistically significant difference among groups (P<0.05). The ADC value in group A and B was lower than group C (P<0.05), the FA value in group A and B was higher than group C (P<0.05), the FA value had statistically significant difference in the different parts of hippocampal (P<0.05), the FA value in A, B and C group on hippocampal head was higher than on body and tail. The FA values were negatively correlated with age (r=-0.813, P<0.05), the ADC values were positively correlated with age (r=0.113, P<0.05).Conclusion: DTI can help to understand the changes of microenvironment of the hippocampal in normal Chinese middle-aged people, to provide clinical basis for early diagnosis and treatment of the diseases associated with hippocampus.
