Abstract
Background and AimsLoss of motor units in chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy is difficult to assess by conventional nerve conduction due to collateral innervation. We aimed to assess the association between a motor unit number estimate (MUNE) derived from the compound muscle action potential (CMAP) scan using MScanFit and hand function and the clinical response to intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG). MethodsForty-nine CIDP patients and 52 control subjects were included. CMAP scan recordings were obtained from the right abductor pollicis brevis muscle. The primary outcome was the correlation between MUNE and the duration of the nine-hole-peg test (9-HPT) at baseline and the change in the duration of the 9-HPT following treatment with IVIG. Secondary outcomes were grip strength, 10-m-walk test, six-spot-step test, medical research council sum score, inflammatory neuropathy cause and treatment sensory sum score, overall neuropathy limitations scale, and the Rasch-built overall disability scale (R-ODS). ResultsMScanFit analysis suggested both loss of motor units (reduced MUNE (p = 0.022) and N50 (p < 0.0001)) and collateral reinnervation (increased median amplitude (p < 0.0001) and size of the largest unit (p < 0.0001)) in CIDP patients compared to controls. In CIDP patients, there was a statistically significant correlation between MUNE and the duration of the 9-HPT (Spearman's r = -0.342; p = 0.016). Further, patients with a low MUNE had the largest reduction in the duration of the 9-HPT following IVIG treatment (r = -0.577; p = 0.043). MUNE also correlated significantly with R-ODS (r = -0.722; p = 0.007). InterpretationMScanFit MUNE could be a useful method for assessing motor axonal loss in CIDP, which correlates with the clinical function and treatment response.

- 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
