T1-weighted images of all participants were collected, and DPABI and SPM12 software were used to process the gray matter of the four groups based on voxels. Fisher\u2019s exact test, one-way ANOVA and Kruskal-Wallis H test were used to evaluate all clinical and demographic data and compare the characteristics of diencephalic gray matter atrophy in each group. Finally, the region of interest (ROI) of the SIVD-VCIND was extracted, and Pearson correlation analysis was performed between the ROI and the results of the neuropsychological scale.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Compared to the NC, changes in gray matter atrophy were observed in the bilateral orbitofrontal gyrus, right middle temporal gyrus, superior temporal gyrus, and precuneus in the SIVD-VCIND. Gray matter atrophy was observed in the left cerebellar region 6, cerebellar crural region 1, bilateral thalamus, right precuneus, and calcarine in the SIVD-VD. Compared with the SIVD-VCIND, gray matter atrophy changes were observed in the bilateral thalamus in the SIVD-VD (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.05, family-wise error corrected). In the SIVD-VCIND, the total gray matter volume, bilateral medial orbital superior frontal gyrus, right superior temporal gyrus, middle temporal gyrus, and precuneus were positively correlated with Boston Naming Test score, whereas the total gray matter volume, right superior temporal gyrus, and middle temporal gyrus were positively correlated with overall cognition.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Structural magnetic resonance imaging can detect extensive and subtle structural changes in the gray matter of patients with SIVD-VCIND and SIVD-VD, providing valuable evidences to explain the pathogenesis of subcortical vascular cognitive impairment and contributing to the early diagnosis of SIVD-VCIND and early warning of SIVD-VD.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fnagi.2023.1051177","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,6]],"date-time":"2023-02-06T06:19:17Z","timestamp":1675664357000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Study of gray matter atrophy pattern with subcortical ischemic vascular disease-vascular cognitive impairment no dementia based on structural magnetic resonance imaging"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Lin","family":"Tan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jian","family":"Xing","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhenqi","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiao","family":"Du","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ruidi","family":"Luo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jianhang","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jinyi","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Weina","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Changhao","family":"Yin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"2135","DOI":"10.1007\/s00429-015-1034-7","article-title":"Association of white matter hyperintensities and gray matter volume with cognition in older individuals without cognitive impairment","volume":"221","author":"Arvanitakis","year":"2016","journal-title":"Brain Struct.
