  • Authors investigated whether there is a lateral effect of $^1$H MRS observable metabolite ratios between the symptomatic and the nonsymptomatic side in the early stage of Parkinson's disease with unilateral symptom. Localized in vivo $^1$H MR spectroscopy (MRS) was used to measure the metabolite levels in the symptomatic and the nonsymptomatic sides of the lentiform nucleus in Parkinson"s disease with unilateral symptom (N=25). The metabolite ratios of NAA/Cr and Cho/Cr in the symptomatic side were compared with those in the nonsymptomatic side. Significant metabolic lateral effect of NAA/(Cho+Cr) ratio was established between the symptomatic and the nonsymptomatic side of lentiform nucleus in Parkinson's disease with unilateral symptom (p<0.05). The ratio of NAA/(Cho+Cr) homolateral to the sympatomatic side of the patient is also lower than that of the control (P<0.05). On the basis of NAA/Cr ratios of lentiform nucleus between the symptomatic and the nonsymptomatic side, the present $^1$H MRS study shows a significant neuronal laterality in Parkinson's disease with unilateral symptom. In vivo $^1$H MRS may provide a diagnostic marker for neuronal dysfunction in Parkinson's disease with unilateral symptom.

  • The proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy ($^1H-MRS$) is a tool used to detect concentrations of brain metabolites such as N-acetyl aspartate, choline, creatine, glutamate, and gamma-amino butyric acid (GABA). It has been widely used because it does not require additional devices other than the conventional magnetic resonance scanner and coils. Demyelination, or the neuronal damage due to loss of myelin sheath, is one of the common pathologic processes in many diseases including multiple sclerosis, leukodystrophy, encephalomyelitis, and other forms of autoimmune diseases. Rodent models mimicking human demyelinating diseases have been induced by using virus (e.g., Theiler's murine encephalomyelitis virus) or toxins (e.g., cuprizon or lysophosphatidyl choline). This review is an overview of the MRS findings on brain metabolites in demyelination with a specific focus on rodent models.

  • Purpose: We achieved high resolution MR imaging and spectra of human skin in vitro with using a 14.1 T MRI/MRS system, and evaluated the hydration effect of various cosmetic products by measuring the skin's. moisture concentration. Materials and Methods: We used the Bruker 14.1 T MRI/MRS system with a vertical standard bore that was equipped with a DMX spectrometer gradient system (200 G/cm at a maximum 40 A), RF resonators (2, 5 and 10 mm) and Para Vision software. Spin echo and fast spin echo pulse sequences were employed for obtaining the high resolution MR images. The 3D-localized point resolved spectroscopy (PRESS) method was used to acquire the MR spectra. Results: The high resolution MR images and spectra of human skin in vitro were successfully obtained on a 14.1 T system. The water concentration of human skin after applying a moisturizer was higher than that before applying a moisturizer. Conclusions: The present study demonstrated that the high-resolution MR images and spectra of human skin from a high field NMR instrument could be applicable to evaluating the hydration state of the stratum corneum.

  • 본 연구에서는 MRS 정량적 분석 중 jMRUI AMARES방법의 관찰자의 의존적 원인 요소를 숙련자와 비숙련자의 측정을 통하여 파악하고 하였다. 실험용 10주령 수컷 쥐의 간 부분을 3T MRI 장치를 활용하여 point resolved spectroscopy 펄스시퀀스를 이용하여 자기공명분광 데이터를 획득하였다. 획득된 데이터는 기준 값으로 사용하기 위해서 LCModel software 이용하여 1.3 ppm의 메틸렌 양성자와 4.7 ppm의 물 분자 양성자의 정량 비를 계산하였다. 7명의 비숙련 관찰자는 jMRUI AMARES 방법으로 총 지질을 1, 2주 간격으로 측정한 후 측정된 값을 SPSS를 이용하여 interclass correlation coefficient를 시행하였다. 관찰자 사이 간 측정치의 일관성의 신뢰도 분석을 표현한 크논바 알파 계수는 0.1 미만으로 나타났다. 1주차 데이터 값과 2주차 데이터 값의 평균값은 $0.096{\pm}0.038$로 LCModel의 분석 값보다 0.048로 50% 높게 관찰되었다. jMRUI AMARES분석 방법이 LCModel과 동일한 결과를 얻기 위해서는 정확한 대사물질의 개요를 숙지하고 획득된 그래프의 형태를 잘 파악하여 잔존 대사물질를 최소화 하여야 한다.

  • Background: The aim of this study was to assess the role of the presence of a choline peak in 3 Tesla 1H magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) for differentiating benign from malignant adnexal masses. Materials and Methods: A total of 46 adnexal masses (23 malignant and 23 benign) underwent 1H MRS study prior to surgery to assess the presence of choline peak. Results: A choline peak was detected in 16 malignant masses (69.5%) and was absent in the other 7 (30.5%). A choline peak was only detected in 6 (26%) of the benign adnexal masses. The presence of an MRS choline peak had a sensitivity of 69.5%, a specificity of 74%, a positive predictive value (PPV) of 72.7%, and a negative predictive value (NPV) of 71% for diagnosing malignant adnexal masses. A significant difference between the frequency of mean choline peaks in benign and malignant adnexal masses was observed (P value < 0.01). Conclusions: A 1H MRS choline peak is seen in malignant adnexal masses more frequently than the benign masses, and may be helpful for diagnosing malignant adnexal masses.

  • Localized in vivo proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) was performed to evaluate metabolic alterations in the right and left frontal lobe before and after neuroleptic treatment of schizophrenic patients (n=24) and a group of healthy normal subjects (n=20). Proton metabolic ratios obtained from the 8㎤ yokels in the right and left frontal lobe were compared with the clinical assessment of PANSS for each subject. There was no significant difference in the metabolic ratios between the right and the left frontal lobes in either the schizophrenic group or the control group, indicating no laterality. Compared with those of the normal control group, NAA/Cr and (GABA+Glu)/Cr ratios of the schizophrenic patients showed significantly lower (p=0.023) and higher (p=0.005) value, respectively. The (GABA+Glu)/Cr ratio of the schizophrenic patients was generally decreased after neuroleptic treatment, while the NAA/Cr ratio was not changed. Significant correlation between the (GABA+Glu)/Cr ratio and the clinical symptom scores assessed by PANSS was established. The present study supports the “hypofrontality” hypothesis of schizophrenia on the basis of the altered metabolic ratios before and after neuroleptic treatment.

  • 본 연구는 1H-MRS 검사 시 조영제 사용이 대사물질의 spectrum에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 비교 분석함으로써, 조영제 주입 후 MRS 시행의 가능성을 알아보고자 하였다. 연구방법은 2017년 1월부터 동년 5월까지 뇌 MRI 검사를 시행한 30명을 대상으로, 조영제 주입 전, 후 전두엽 백질 부분의 spectrum을 획득하여 뇌 조직의 대사물질 spectrum을 비교평가 하였다. 연구결과, 조영제를 주입할 경우 각 대사물질의 spectrum은 통계적으로 의미가 없어 조영제 사용이 대사물질의 spectrum에 영향을 미치지 않음을 알 수 있었다. 결론적으로 대조도가 떨어져 병변의 위치파악이 힘든 경우 정확한 위치의 spectrum을 얻기 위해선 조영제를 사용하여 대조도를 높인 다음 MRS를 시행하는 것이 바람직 할 것으로 사료된다.

  • 목적: 두개강내 고형성 종야에서 병리조직학적 진단과 악성도에 따라 특징적 H-1자기공명분광(MRS) 양상이 나타나는지를 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 고형성 뇌종양 환자 81명(저등급 교종 17예, 고등ㅇ급 교종 31예, 림프종 9예, 뇌수막종 8예, 신경세포종 4예, 수아세포종 3예, 원시성신경외배엽종 3예, 전이암 2예, 기타 4예)을 대상으로 생체내 MRS를 시행하여 스펙트럼을 분석하였다. MRS는 1.5T 장치를 사용하여 PRESS기법으로 TR/TE 2000/270msec, VOI $2{\times}2{\times}2cm^3$로 얻었다. 대사 산물의 공명(resonance) 분석은 N-acetyl aspartate(NAA)/Creatine complix(Cr)비, Choline complex(Cho)/Cr비, Lactate(Lac)/Cr비를 구하였으며, 기타 산물에 대하여는 기존의 문헌에 기초하여 존재 유무를 분석하였다. 결과: 모든 고형성 뇌종양에서 NAA는 감소하고, Cho과 lactate는 증가하였다. Cr은 증가하거나 감소하는 등 다양한 결과를 보였다. 모든 종야에서 NAA/Cr이 감소한 반면, Cho/Cr과 Lac/Cr은 증가하였다. 고등급 교종에서는 평균 Cho/Cr과 lactate/Cr이 각각 저등급 교종에 비해 모두 유의하게 높았다(Cho/Cr ; $2.4{\pm}0.7{\;}vs.{\;}1.7{\pm}0.8,{\;}P<0.05,{\;}lactate/Cr{\;};{\;}1.3{\pm}1.9{\;}vs.{\;}0.4{\pm}0.6$, P<0.05). 그러나 NAA/Cr은 유의한 차이가 없었다. 뇌수막종과 신경세포종, 수아세포종에서 Cho/Cr이 고등급 교종의 수준 이상으로 높았다. 결론: H-1 MRS는 고형성 뇌종에서 저등급과 고등급 교종의 감별에 유용하게 이용될 수 있으나, 교종이외의 고형성 양성종양에서도 고등급 교종과 같은 양상을 보이므로 한게가 있다고 생각된다.

  • In this study, transverse relaxation time (T2) measurement and the evaluation of the characteristics of the spectral peak related to stomach tissue metabolites were performed using ex vivo proton magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) at 1.5-T MRI/S instruments. Thirty-two gastric tissues resected from 12 patients during gastric cancer surgery, of which 19 were normal tissue and 13 were cancerous tissue, were used to measure the $T_2$ of the magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) peaks. The volume of interest data results from the MRSI measurements were extracted from the proper muscle (MUS) layer and the composite mucosa/submucosa (MC/SMC) layer and were statistically analyzed. MR spectra were acquired using the chemical shift imaging (CSI) point resolved spectroscopy (CSI-PRESS) technique with the parameters of pulse repetition time (TR) and echo times (TE) TR/(TE1,TE2)=1500 msec/(35 msec, 144 msec), matrix $size=24{\times}24$, NA=1, and voxel $size=2.2{\times}2.2{\times}4mm^3$. In conclusion, the measured $T_2$ of the metabolite peaks, such as choline (3.21ppm) and lipid (1.33ppm), were significantly decreased (p<0.01 and p<0.05, respectively) in the cancerous stomach tissue.
