[Abstract] Objective To explore the coherence-based regional homogeneity (Cohe-ReHo) alterations of acute and remitting relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) and it's clinical relevance.Materials and Methods Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) data were obtained from 20 acute RRMS, 35 remitting RRMS and 20 healthy controls (HC), after the Cohe-ReHo calculation of the rs-fMRI scan, ANOVA and followed Post-hoc analysis was used for comparison between groups; a partial correlation analysis was followed performed on the Cohe-ReHo value in regions with significant differences between groups and the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS), the Paced Auditory Serial Addition Test-3s (PASAT-3s) and the disease duration.Results Compared with HC, acute and remitting RRMS all showed decreased Cohe-ReHo in the bilateral anterior cingutate and left superior frontal gyrus (P＜0.001); compared with HC or remitting RRMS, acute RRMS showed increased Cohe-ReHo in the right cuneus and middle occipital gyrus (P＜0.001). EDSS was negatively correlated with the Cohe-ReHo of the left superior frontal gyrus in acute RRMS (r=-0.493, P=0.037) and the PASAT-3s was negatively correlated with the Cohe-ReHo of the left superior frontal gyrus in remitting RRMS (r=-0.382, P=0.028).Conclusions Both acute and remitting RRMS patients have disease-related brain dysfunction, while the acute RRMS patients mobilized more brain regions involving visual information processing in an attempt to maintain functional stability.
