This study aims to further investigate the regional spontaneous brain activity changes of patients with diabetic osteoporosis (DOP), and the correlation between abnormal brain regions and bone metabolites.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 29 subjects with T2DM were recruited, including fourteen patients with DOP and thirteen patients without osteoporosis (Control group). Based on the resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) datasets acquired from all the subjects, a two-sample <jats:italic>t<\/jats:italic>-test was performed on individual normalized regional homogeneity (ReHo) maps. Spearman correlation analysis was performed between the abnormal ReHo regions with the clinical parameters and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA) scores.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>In the DOP group, we demonstrated the significantly increased ReHo values in the left middle temporal gyrus (MTG), right superior occipital gyrus (SOG), aright superior parietal lobule (SPL), right angular gyrus (AG), and left precuneus (PE). Additionally, we also found a significant positive correlation between increased ReHo values in the left MTG and the average bone mineral density (BMD AVG), and average T scores (T AVG). The ReHo values of the right SOG and right SPL showed a negative correlation with MOCA scores, as well as a negative correlation between increased ReHo values in the right SPL and osteocalcin (OC) level.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Patients with DOP showed increased spontaneous activity in multiple brain regions. The results indicated that osteoporosis exacerbated cognitive impairment and brain damage. Also, the OC might be considered as a bone marker to track the progression of cognitive impairment.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fnagi.2022.851929","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,6]],"date-time":"2022-05-06T05:20:27Z","timestamp":1651814427000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Altered Spontaneous Brain Activity in Patients With Diabetic Osteoporosis Using Regional Homogeneity: A Resting-State Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Min","family":"Liu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jiang","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Juan","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hui","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Qianqian","family":"Yao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiuzhu","family":"Zheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zheng","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jian","family":"Qin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"779","DOI":"10.1002\/hbm.22213","article-title":"Amyloid and its association with default network integrity in Alzheimer's disease","volume":"35","author":"Adriaanse","year":"2014","journal-title":"Human Brain Map."},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"47","DOI":"10.1186\/s13244-021-00993-9","article-title":"Investigating the sub-regions of the superior parietal cortex using functional magnetic resonance imaging connectivity","volume":"12","author":"Alahmadi","year":"2021","journal-title":"Insights Into Imag."},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"S13","DOI":"10.2337\/dc18-S002","article-title":"Classification and diagnosis of diabetes: standards of medical care in diabetes-2018","volume":"41","year":"2018","journal-title":"Diabetes Care."},{"key":"B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"24","DOI":"10.1016\/j.neurobiolaging.2004.12.010","article-title":"Combined 99mTc-ECD SPECT and neuropsychological studies in MCI for the assessment of conversion to AD","volume":"27","author":"Borroni","year":"2006","journal-title":"Neurobiol.
