Objective : Evaluate the application values of ^99mTc-2 β [ N, N'-bis ( 2-mercaptoethyl ) ethylenediamiino ] methyl, 3 β -(4-chlorophenyl) tropane ( TRODAT-1 ) dopamine transporter (DAT) SPECT imaging in c...Objective : Evaluate the application values of ^99mTc-2 β [ N, N'-bis ( 2-mercaptoethyl ) ethylenediamiino ] methyl, 3 β -(4-chlorophenyl) tropane ( TRODAT-1 ) dopamine transporter (DAT) SPECT imaging in children autism, and offer the academic foundation to etiology, mechanism and clinical therapy of autism. Methods:Ten autistic children and ten healthy controls were examined with ^99mTc-TRODAT-1 DAT SPECT imaging. Striatal specific uptake of ^99mTc-TRODAT-1 was calculated with region of interest analysis according to the ratios between striaturn and cerebellum [ ( STR-BKG)/BKG ]. Results : There was no difference in semiquantitative dopamine transporter between bilateral striatum in autistic children ( P = 0. 562) and in normal controls ( P = 0. 573 ) ; dopamine transporter in brain of patients with autism increased more significantly than that in normal controls ( P = 0. 017). Conclusion : Dopaminergic nervous system is dysfunction in human brain with children autism, and DAT ^99mTc-TRODAT-1 SPECT imaging on human brain will help the imaging diagnosis of children autism.展开更多
