Article Abstract
Background: The aim of the present study was to explore the brain active characteristics of patients with irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea (IBS-D) using resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging technology.
Methods: Thirteen IBS-D patients and fourteen healthy controls (HC) were enrolled. All subjects underwent head MRI examination during resting state. A voxel-based analysis of fractional amplitude of low frequency fluctuation (fALFF) maps between IBS-D and HC was performed using a two-sample t-test. The relationship between the fALFF values in abnormal brain regions and the scores of Symptom Severity Scale (IBS-SSS) were analyzed using Pearson correlation analysis.
Results: Compared with HC, IBS-D patients had lower fALFF values in the left medial superior frontal gyrus and higher fALFF values in the left hippocampus and right precuneus. There was a positive correlation between the duration scores of IBS-SSS and fALFF values in the right precuneus.
Conclusion: The altered fALFF values in the medial superior frontal gyri, left hippocampus and right precuneus revealed changes of intrinsic neuronal activity, further revealing the abnormality of gut-brain axis of IBS-D.

Fractional Amplitude of Low-Frequency Fluctuations and Regional Homogeneity Analyses Revealed Altered Local Spontaneous Neural Activities in Ankylosing Spondylitis.

Radiology Department, The Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou, People's Republic of China.
Purpose: Previous studies have revealed alterations of the functional connectivity of the brain networks in ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Fractional amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations (fALFF) and regional homogeneity (ReHo) are both voxel-based functional metrics capable of estimating local spontaneous neural activities. This study aimed to investigate the local spontaneous neural activities in AS patients by utilizing the analytical approaches of fALFF and ReHo.

Background: Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) is one of the predominant causes of irreversible blindness. Though the glaucomatous transneuronal degeneration pass through the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) in the visual pathway, the functional changes associated with the LGN remains elusive. The current study aimed to investigate the seed-based whole-brain functional connectivity (FC) of the LGN and its correlation with retinal thickness in patients with POAG.

Background: Emerging evidence suggests that blood-oxygen-level-dependent signals in white matter reflect functional activity; however, it remains unclear whether white matter function is altered in rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) and how it interacts with gray matter.
Methods: We conducted resting-state functional MRI analyses in patients with RRD and healthy controls to investigate regional white matter activity using amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations/fractional ALFF (ALFF/fALFF), and cross-tissue white matter-gray matter functional connectivity. Voxel-wise analyses were performed to identify aberrant white matter regions, and seed-based connectivity mapping was applied using affected white matter tracts.

Introduction: Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a common malignant tumor primarily treated by radiotherapy with or without chemotherapy. Chemoradiotherapy frequently contributes to cognitive impairments, which are associated with abnormal brain activity. This study aimed to longitudinally explore the stage-specific changes of regional spontaneous brain activity in NPC patients during different phases of chemoradiation treatment.
