Abstract

Background: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) has a high prevalence worldwide and plays a major role in the development of Barrett's esophagus (BЕ) and esophageal adenocarcinoma. Aims: To evaluate the patterns of esophageal acidification and esophageal motility in patients with BЕ in comparison with various GERD phenotypes and control subjects. Materials and methods: 100 patients were examined: 31 patients with nonerosive reflux disease (NERD), 20 patients with erosive reflux disease (ERD), 17 patients with BE, 32 healthy individuals who made up the control group. All patients underwent 24-hours pH-impedance and high-resolution esophageal manometry. Results: According to the 24-hour pH-impedanсe, the total time with pH 4 in the esophagus was 1,9% in control patients, 11.6% in the NERD group, 19.35 in the ERD group and 28% in patients with BE. The average number of acid refluxes was 18.0 in the control group, 58.0 in the group with NERD, 78. in the group with ERD and 89.0 in patients with BE. The number of acidic refluxes was significantly correlated with the time on the acidification of the esophagus (r = 0.5439; p0.05). The analysis of the mean nocturnal baseline impedance (MNBI) revealed a tendency to decrease the values in patients with GERD relative to the control subjects, and there was a decrease in the values of MNBI as the severity of GERD from NERD to ERD and BE (p0.05). Manometric signs of hiatal hernia and/or hypotension of the lower esophageal sphincter were more often registered in the groups of patients with ERD (70%) and BE (65%) than in patients with NERD (32%) and in control group (12%). Conclusions: Increase in level of total time with pH 4, number of acid refluxes, reduced values of MNBI, as well as disorders of the structure and function of the esophagogastric junction and motility of the esophagus are associated with the severity of esophagus diseases.

Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
