Popis: BackgroundPost-stroke depression (PSD) , a common complication in stroke patients, may increase the disability and mortality, however, its pathogenesis is unknown yet.ObjectiveTo observe the white matter fiber bundle alterations by diffusion tensor tractography (DTT) , and to explore its correlation with depression in patients with PSD.MethodsParticipants were selected from the First Affiliated Hospital of Jinzhou Medical University from September 2019 to September 2020, involving 40 inpatients with first-episode ischemic stroke (20 were found with PSD, and 20 without) , and 20 physical examinees as healthy controls. DTT was performed in all participants, fractional anisotropy (FA) and number of fiber bundles in regions of interest (ROIs) were compared across PSD and non-PSD inpatients and healthy controls. Pearson correlation analysis was performed to analyze the correlations of FA and number of fiber bundles on the side of stroke in the ROIs with 24-item Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAMD-24) in PDS inpatients.ResultsIn PSD inpatients, the FA of inferior fronto-occipital fascicles, corticospinal tract, frontopontine tract, cingulum bundle and uncinate fasciculus on the side of the stroke was significantly lower than those on the contralateral side (P
