Abstract

Introduction: Both intracranial pressure (ICP) and cerebral arterial blood volume (CaBV) have a pulsatile character related to the cardiac cycle. The evolution of the shape of ICP pulses under increasing ICP or decreasing intracranial compliance is well documented. Nevertheless, the exact origin of the alterations in the ICP morphology remains unclear. Research question: Does ICP pulse waveform become similar to non-invasively estimated CaBV pulse during ICP plateau waves. Material and methods: A total of 15 plateau waves recorded in 15 traumatic brain injured patients were analyzed. CaBV pulse waveforms were calculated using global cerebral blood flow model from transcranial Doppler cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFV) signals. The difference index (DI) was used to quantify the similarity between ICP and CaBV waveforms. DI was calculated as the sum of absolute sample-by-sample differences between ICP and CaBV waveforms, representing the area between the pulses. Results: ICP increased (19.4 mm Hg [Q1-Q3: 18.2-23.4 mm Hg] vs. 42.7 mm Hg [Q1-Q3: 36.5-45.1 mm Hg], p < 0.001) while CBFV decreased (44.2 cm/s [Q1-Q3: 34.8-69.5 cm/s] vs. 32.9 cm/s [Q1-Q3: 24.7-68.2 cm/s], p = 0.002) during plateau waves. DI was smaller during the plateau waves (20.4 [Q1-Q3: 15.74-23.0]) compared to the baselines (26.3 [Q1-Q3: 24.2-34.7], p < 0.001). Discussion and conclusion: The area between corresponding ICP and CaBV pulse waveforms decreased during the plateau waves which suggests they became similar in shape. CaBV may play a significant role in determining the shape of ICP pulses during the plateau waves and might be a driving force in formulating ICP elevation.

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
