[Abstract] Objective: Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) was used to measure the changes in brain structural networks of delayed encephalopathy after acute carbon monoxide poisoning (DEACMP) patients, and to explore the neuroimaging mechanism of DEACMP cognitive disorder.Materials and Methods: DTI scans were performed on 25 DEACMP patients and 25 Healthy Controls (HCs) matched by age and gender. The AAL template was used to divide the whole brain into 90 regions. The continuous tracer method was used to reconstruct the brain fiber bundle connection network and the brain structure-weighted network. The global and regional properties were computed by graph theoretical analysis. To compare the brain network regional properties between two groups, two-sample t-test (false discovery rate correction, P<0.05) was utilized. The correlations between the brain structural network properties and clinical parameters were further analysed.Results: Both of the two groups were found to follow the efficient small-world characteristics. The shortest path length of the DEACMP group increased (Lp=0.86±0.05), global efficiency (Eglob=9.60±2.65) and local efficiency (Eloc=17.98±3.89) decreased. Moreover, the core nodes of the DEACMP group's default network, highlighting network, central execution network, and visual area were reduced (P<0.05, FDR correction). The left amygdala node degree of DEACMP group was positively correlated with MMSE and MoCA (r=0.863, P=0.001; r=0.525, P=0.021); the left tongue gyrus degree value was positively correlated with MoCA (r=0.406, P=0.019), and CDR negative correlation (r=-0.563, P=0.016). The efficiency value of the right dorsolateral superior frontal gyrus node in the DEACMP group was negatively correlated with the CDR score (r=-0.377, P=0.031).Conclusions: The difference of topology attributes and nodes in DEACMP patients can show the degree of damage to related brain regions, especially to advanced brain functions, in DEACMP patients.
