Abstract

Objective: Neointimal and medial thickening play a critical rote in late vein graft failure following CABG. Previous ex vivo experiment suggested that perivenous application of fibrin glue may reduce the damage in the circular smooth muscle cell layer of the media of the vein graft shortly after exposing to arterial pressure. However, the in vivo as welt as the longer term impact of this intervention remain unknown. Methods: Bilateral saphenous vein-carotid artery interposition grafting was performed in eight large white pigs (35-45 kg). In each pig, one of the grafts was randomly selected to receive perivenous fibrin glue support while the contralateral graft served as control. At 1 and 4 months following surgery (n = 4 pigs in each group), all 16 patent vein grafts were removed and pressure-fixed. Multiple histological sections from each graft were prepared. Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) was detected by immunocytochemistry. Vein graft morphology was assessed using computer-aided planimetry. Results: Although perivenous application of fibrin glue had little effects either on medial thickness 1 month after implantation or on PCNA index, it significantly increased medial thickness (control: 0.37 +/- 0.02 mm; treated: 0.55 +/- 0.02 mm, p < 0.001) and total watt thickness (control: 0.75 +/- 0.04 mm; treated: 0.92 +/- 0.04 mm, p = 0.008) at 4 months (mean +/- SEM; n = 4 in each group). Conclusions: Our data indicated that perivenous application of fibrin glue enhances graft thickening and as such does not constitute a strategy for preventing late vein graft failure after CABG.

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
