| [Abstract] Objective: To analyze the relationship between multimode function magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of Wistar rat epilepsy model and histopathology by comparative study.Materials and Methods: Wistar rats were divided into normal control group (n=30) and epilepsy model group (n=30). Epileptic model group established epilepsy model. Three males and three females were taken at 3 days, 1 week, 3 weeks, 5 weeks, and 8 weeks after the disease, and routine MRI, diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) and three-dimensional magnetization preparatory gradient echo (3D-MPRAGE) were performed. Multi-sequence brain scans, selecting bilateral symmetric regions of interest (ROI) in the gray matter (GM) and white matter (WM) regions, detecting anisotropy fraction (FA), mean diffusion coefficient (MD), and average diffusion kurtosis (MK). After the end of scan, the rat brain tissues were taken out to conduct pathological HE staining analysis. Rat brain tissue was taken for HE staining analysis to analyze the relationship between MRI parameters and pathological findings in rats.Results: With the extension of attack time, FA and MD in GM and WM areas of epilepsy model group were gradually decreased, while MK was gradually increased (P<0.05). At the same attack time points, FA and MD in GM and WM areas of epilepsy model group were lower than those of normal control group, while MK was higher than that in normal control group (P<0.05). The pathogenic time of rats in the epilepsy model group was negatively correlated with FA and MD in the brain, and positively correlated with MK (P<0.05). With the extension of attack time, the number of residual normal neurons in brain tissues of epilepsy model group were gradually decreased. At the same attack time points, number of residual normal neurons in epilepsy model group was lower than that in normal control group (P<0.05). At different time points after attack, number of residual normal neurons in epilepsy model group was positively correlated with FA and MD, while negatively correlated with MK (P<0.05).Conclusions: The test results of multimode function MRI in epilepsy model rats are significantly correlated with test results of brain histopathology. Msultimode function MRI can be applied as one of imaging methods for clinical diagnosis of epilepsy and assessment of disease severity. |
