[Abstract] Objective To evaluate the early subclinical brain cell damage in patients with hypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) by diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI). Materials andMethods Twenty-six patients with hypertension and T2DM without neurological function and cognitive impairment, 27 patients with simple hypertension and 16 healthy subjects matched with gender, age and education level, were enrolled in this study, brain MRI and DKI were performed in three groups.The mean kurtosis (MK), mean diffusivity (MD) and fractional anisotropy (FA) of bilateral hippocampal gyrus, centrum semiovale, caudate head, posterior limb of internal capsule, thalamus, red nucleus, substantia nigra, pons and cerebellum were measured.Results There were significant differences in MK values of left hippocampus gyrus, left centrum semiovale, bilateral caudate head and left posterior limb of internal capsule between three groups (P<0.05 or P<0.01), and there were significant differences in MK values of bilateral thalamus and left substantia nigra between some groups (P<0.05 or P<0.01). MD value in the right thalamus was significantly different between the three groups (P<0.05 or P<0.01), MD value in the right caudate head was significantly different between the some groups (P<0.05 or P<0.01). There was significant difference in FA value of left posterior limb of internal capsule between the three groups (P<0.05 or P<0.01), and there were significant difference in FA values of left centrum semiovale, right posterior limb of internal capsule between the some groups (P<0.05 or P<0.01).Conclusions The brain cell of hippocampus gyrus, centrum semiovale, caudate head, posterior limb of internal capsule, thalamus and substantia nigra has been damaged in patients with hypertension and T2DM, and the damage was more serious than that in patients with simple hypertension.
