PG - 3266-3272 LID - 10.3760/cma.j.issn.0376-2491.2019.41.013 [doi] AB - Objective: To observe the difference of brain activity in patients with diarrhea-type irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D) treated with pinaverium bromide (PB) combined with flupentixol-melitracen (FM), and to explore the mechanism of efficacy of combined with anxiolytic/antidepressant drugs in IBS-D patients at the central level, using resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI). Methods: Forty-eight patients with IBS-D, including 28 males, 20 females, mean age 22-48 (33+/-7) years, were selected from the Affiliated Hospital of Hangzhou Normal University from October 2015 to October 2018.All patients with IBS-D underwent rs-fMRI scans before and after receiving either PB (basic treatment group, n=16), PB combined with FM (combination therapy group, n=16), or no medication (no treatment group, n=16). Rs-fMRI regional homogeneity (ReHo) parameter among the three groups of patients were compared using One-way ANOVA analysis and post analysis.Partial correlation and mediation analyses were performed on ReHo values and the improvement of symptoms scores (gastrointestinal symptom rating scale(GSRS) and hospital anxiety/depression scale (HAD)) in the two medicated groups. Results: No significant differences in ReHo values were observed among the three groups before treatment. Compared with patients on no-medication, patients receiving either PB or PB-FM showed decreased ReHo in the striatum, insular lobe, medial prefrontal cortex (MPFC) and subcallosal gyrus, and increased ReHo in the occipital cortex. In particular, the combined treatment group showed more extensive decreased ReHo in the left thalamus and left temporal pole, and increased in the left precuneus. Compared with the basic treatment group, the combined treatment group showed decreased ReHo in the right putamen, right insula, right MPFC and subcallosal gyrus, and increased ReHo in the left precuneus. In addition, the combined treatment group demonstrated a positive correlation between ReHo values in the left thalamus and the improvement of HAD score (r=0.653, P=0.011) , and a negative correlation between ReHo values in left precuneus and the improvement of GSRS and HAD score (r=-0.771, P=0.001; r=-0.716, P=0.004). ReHo values in the left precuneus were observed to mediate between gastrointestinal symptoms and anxiety-depressive symptoms in the combined treatment group. Conclusions: The efficacy of PB combined with FM is superior to PB alone in the treatment of IBS. In addition to more extensive changes in pain-related brain areas, IBS-D patients treated with anxiolytic/antidepressant also show changes in default network and brain areas related to emotional regulation, and are associated with improvement in gastrointestinal symptoms, anxiety and depression.
