[Abstract] Objective To explore the mechanism of spontaneous brain activity in children with nocturnal enuresis (NE) by resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI).Materials and Methods NE (n=37) and healthy controls (n=37) matched by gender, age, and education were recruited. All subjects underwent brain rs-fMRI scanning. The resting-state data calculated the regional homogeneity (ReHo) and degree centrality (DC) of children with NE and the healthy control group. A two-sample t-test compared the differences between the two groups. The DC value and ReHo value of brain areas with differences between the two groups were extracted for correlation analysis with clinical indicators and the score of Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ).Results The results of the t-test showed that compared with the healthy control group, the DC value of the NE group decreased in the anterior cingulate gyrus and parahippocampal gyrus of the limbic lobe; Compared with healthy controls, the ReHo value of NE group in the anterior cingulate gyrus decreased. Correlation analysis showed that the DC value of the parahippocampal gyrus was positively correlated with the score of abnormal sleep (P=0.045, r=0.256); Correlation analysis showed that the DC value of the parahippocampal gyrus was positively correlated with the score of CSHQ (P=0.010, r=0.062).Conclusions The study shows that the decrease of local brain function activity in children with NE at rest may be closely related to the pathology of enuresis.
