Abstract

[Abstract] Objective: To investigate the alterations of regional homogeneity (ReHo) by the resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) in first-episode depressive disorder patients, and analyze the relationship between altered ReHo and the scores of 17-item Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAMD-17).Materials and Methods: We analyzed rs-fMRI data obtained from 14 first-episode depressive disorder patients and 16 healthy control subjects. The data were analyzed by the ReHo method, and the differences in ReHo values between the two groups were compared by the two-sample t-test, and the correlation between the HAMD-17 score and the abnormal mean ReHo values of the brain regions in the first-episode major depressive disorder patients was analyzed.Results: Our results showed that patients with depressive disorder had significantly decreased ReHo in the right anterior cingulate and right postcentral gyrus compared with the health control group (corrected by Alphasim, P<0.05 after correction). The mean ReHo of right anterior cingulate gyrus was negatively correlated with HAMD-17 score in patients with first episode of depression (r=-0.566, P=0.035).Conclusions: The ReHo values decreased in the right anterior cingulate and right postcentral gyrus of first-episode depressive disorder patients in the resting state, which may be related to the pathogenesis of depression.
