摘要

Abstract Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) studies have revealed a changed integrity in the white matter of bipolar disorder. However, only a few investigations have examined bipolar II disorder (BP-II). A cross-sectional study was conducted to compare thirty-eight patients with BP-II (mean age = 38.26 years, F/M = 19/19) with thirty-eight age- and gender-matched healthy controls (mean age = 34.45 years, F/M = 18/20). Tract Based Spatial Statistics (TBSS) analysis of the fractional anisotropy (FA) was done with age, gender and education years as covariates, then a complementary atlas-based region-of-interest (ROI) analysis including the axial diffusivity (AD) and radial diffusivity (RD) was conducted to obtain further information. The patients with BP-II showed a significant decrease in FA in the corpus callosum (commissure fibers), fornix (association fibers) and right anterior corona radiata (projection fibers) compared to the controls. Moreover, a significant increase in the RD was observed in all of the fibers of the BP-II patients, while the AD significantly increased only in the fornix of the patients. Thus, in addition to the abnormal integrity of the commissure and projection fibers, the present study suggested an involvement of the limbic association fibers in the pathophysiology of BP-II induced by a distinctive neuropathology. Highlights ? Bipolar II patients had a significantly changed diffusion tensor imaging measures. ? The corpus callosum and fornix showed a lower value of the fractional anisotropy. ? A higher in the radial diffusivity was also observed in the main bundles. ? The axial diffusivity (AD), however, significantly increased only in the fornix. ? The altered AD may indicate a distinctive neurophathology of the fornix.
