Abstract
BackgroundPrevailing tension-reducing suture methods have a spectrum of issues. This study presents a straightforward yet highly efficacious suture technique known as the Split-level Folding, Step-type Tension-relieving Suture technique, which could play a pivotal role in preempting incisional scarring.AimsTo introduce Split-level Folding, Step-type Tension-relieving Suture technique and assess its effect on scar minimization.MethodsA retrospective analysis of 64 patients who underwent treatment utilizing the proposed suturing methodology. Assessment parameters included the Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale (POSAS), the Vancouver Scar Scale (VSS), scar width, complications, and all evaluated at 6- and 12-month postoperatively.ResultsAt 12-month follow-up, the POSAS and VSS scores in the normal suture group (32.58 +/- 5.43, 3.58 +/- 1.39) were considerably higher than the step-type suture group (29.75 +/- 3.56, p = 0.0007; 2.78 +/- 1.17, p = 0.0006). Moreover, the step-type suture group showcased a significantly narrower average incision scar width (1.62 +/- 0.36) than the normal suture group (1.87 +/- 0.42, p = 0.0004). This novel tension-relieving suture technique that effectively circumvents the occurrence of persistent localized eversion and other complications often associated with traditional tension-relieving sutures.ConclusionsThe Split-level Folding, Step-type Tension-relieving Suture technique emerges as a highly promising option for averting incisional scarring. This suture method works well for incisions on the chest, back, and extremities, resulting in significantly better long-term outcomes.

- 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
