Abstract:
objective: To investigate the relationship between magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) metabolism and Ki- 67expres -sion in high- (HGG) and low-grade gliomas (LGG) by analyzing Ki- 67expression and HGG and LGG metabolites. Methods:We consid-ered 56pathologically confirmed glioma cases in our hospital. The Ki- 67expression and the MRS metabolism parameters in the tu-mors were analyzed simultaneously. Results:The tumor solid value of Cho was positively correlated with the Ki-67expression level (rs=0. 714 , P<0. 05). By contrast, the Ki- 67expression level was negatively correlated with the tumor solid value of NAA ( rs=− 0. 708 , P<0. 05) in 35cases of the LGG group. The tumor solid value of Cho was also positively correlated with the Ki-67expression level (rs=0. 624 , P<0. 05). By comparison, the Ki-67expression level was negatively correlated with the tumor solid value of NAA in the HGG group ( rs=−0. 769 , P<0. 05). Conclusion: The MRS metabolism was correlated with the Ki- 67expression in high- and low-grade gliomas.
