Abstract

Background & Aims: High levels of serum matrix metalloproteinase-7 (MMP-7) have been linked to biliary atresia (BA), with wide variation in concentration cutoffs. We investigated accuracy of serum MMP-7 as a diagnostic biomarker in a large North American cohort. Approach & Results: MMP-7 was measured in serum samples of 399 cholestatic infants in the Prospective Database of Infants with Cholestasis study of the Childhood Liver Disease Research Network, 201 infants with BA and 198 with non-BA cholestasis (age median: 64 and 59 days, p=0.94). MMP-7 was assayed on antibody-bead fluorescence (single-plex) and time resolved-fluorescence energy transfer (TR-FRET) assays. Discriminative performance of MMP-7 was compared with other clinical markers. On the single-plex assay, MMP-7 generated an area under receiver operating curve (AUROC) of 0.90 (confidence interval [CI] 0.87-0.94). At cutoff 52.8 ng/mL, it produced sensitivity=94.03%, specificity=77.78%, positive predictive value=64.46%, and negative predictive value=96.82% for BA. AUROC for gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT)=0.81 (CI 0.77-0.86), stool color=0.68 (CI 0.63-0.73), and pathology=0.84 (CI 0.76-0.91). Logistic regression models of MMP-7 with other clinical variables individually or combined showed an increase for MMP-7+GGT AUROC to 0.91 (CI 0.88-0.95). Serum concentrations produced by TR-FRET differed from single-plex, with optimal cutoff of 18.2 ng/mL. Results were consistent within each assay technology and generated similar AUROCs. Conclusions: Serum MMP-7 has high discriminative properties to differentiate BA from other forms of neonatal cholestasis. MMP-7 cutoff values vary according to assay technology. Using MMP-7 in evaluation of cholestatic infants may simplify diagnostic algorithms and shorten time to hepatoportoenterostomy.

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
