[Abstract] Objective: To investigate the change of brain function in patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome using regional homogeneity (ReHo) and amplitude of low frequency fluctuation (ALFF).Materials and Methods: Thirty-one patients of OSAHS were recruited from the Affiliated Hospita of Qinghai University and 32 healthy volunteers were recruited. Polysomnography (PSG) and resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) were performed on OSAHS patients and healthy controls.The blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) signals of OSAHS patients and normal controls were obtained and compared using ReHo and ALFF methods.Results: Compared with the normal group, the OSAHS group has significant differences between ReHo and ALFF. The brain areas with increased ReHo value (P <0.05) are: right medial and paracentral cingulate gyrus, right dorsolateral upper frontal gyrus, left dorsolateral upper frontal gyrus, right middle frontal gyrus, right medial upper frontal gyrus, left medial upper frontal gyrus, right hippocampus. The brain areas with decreased ReHo value (P<0.05) are: right lingual gyrus, left middle temporal gyrus, left postcentral gyrus, right inferior temporal gyrus, left precuneus, right middle temporal gyrus, right precuneus, right superior occipital gyrus. The brain areas with increased ALFF value (P<0.05) are: right dorsolateral upper frontal gyrus, right hippocampus, right insula, right parahippocampal, left hippocampus, right medial and paracentral cingulate gyrus, right middle frontal gyrus. The brain areas with decreased ALFF value (P<0.05) are: right middle occipital gyrus, right inferior occipital gyrus, left middle occipital gyrus, right lingual, left lingual, left inferior occipital gyrus, left middle temporal gyrus, right superior occipital gyrus.Conclusions: The changes in ReHo and ALFF values in multiple brain regions indicate that OSAHS has a certain degree of influence on the brain function of the multiple brain regions of the patient.
