Abstract
Traditional temporary cardiac pacemakers (TCPs) which employ transcutaneous leads and external wired power systems are battery-dependent and generally non-absorbable with rigidity, thereby necessitating surgical retrieval after therapy and resulting in potentially severe complications. Wireless and bioresorbable transient pacemakers have, hence, emerged recently, though hitting a bottleneck of unfavorable tissue-device bonding interface subject to mismatched mechanical modulus, low adhesive strength, inferior electrical performances, and infection risks. Here, to address such crux, we develop a multifunctional interface hydrogel (MIH) with superior electrical performance to facilitate efficient electrical exchange, comparable mechanical strength to natural heart tissue, robust adhesion property to enable stable device-tissue fixation (tensile strength: ∼30 kPa, shear strength of ∼30 kPa, and peel-off strength: ∼85 kPa), and good bactericidal effect to suppress bacterial growth. Through delicate integration of this versatile MIH with a leadless, battery-free, wireless, and transient pacemaker, the entire system exhibits stable and conformal adhesion to the beating heart while enabling precise and constant electrical stimulation to modulate the cardiac rhythm. It is envisioned that this versatile MIH and the proposed integration framework will have immense potential in overcoming key limitations of traditional TCPs, and may inspire the design of novel bioelectronic-tissue interfaces for next-generation implantable medical devices.

Key content
- 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
