[Abstract] Objective: To investigate dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI combined with DWI in differentiating non-mass breast cancer from granulomatous mastitis (GM).Materials and Methods: Twenty male methamphetamine use disorder based on DSM-V criteria and 21 male demography matched healthy controls participated in a study. 3D structural data were acquired on 3.0 T MRI system. The status of the psychology was evaluated by the self-reporting inventory-90 (SCL-90). The brain grey matter volume was measured by VBM based on SPM. The difference of grey matter volume between two groups was analyzed by two sample t-test. Partial correlation analysis was used to measure the relationship between grey matter volume and the SCL-90 scores as well as drug use situation in the methamphetamine group.Results: Higher score was found in MA group in extensive dimension, included interpersonal sensitivity, compulsion, depression, anxiety, hostility, paranoia and schizophrenia nuclear symptoms (P<0.05). Compared with HC, the grey matter volume of right cerebellum crus I, thalamus, postcentral gyrus and left middle frontal gyrus were decreased in MA group. The grey matter volume were increased in cerebellum vermis, right inferior occipital gyrus, left middle occipital gyrus and left supplementary motor area (AlphaSim corrected, P<0.01). Within the MA group, the grey matter volume in right thalamus was negatively correlated with the daily dose of methamphetamine (r=-0.528, P=0.036), the grey matter volume in cerebellum vermis was positively correlated with the schizophrenia nuclear symptoms (r=0.508, P=0.045), the grey matter volume in left supplementary motor area was positively correlated with the somatization (r=0.516, P=0.041).Conclusions: This study demonstrated that the grey matter volume was changed in MA group and was associated with the psychotic symptoms, which may contribute to the mechanism of MAP.
