Abstract
Artificial oocyte activation (AOA) is considered an effective method to improve clinical outcomes in patients with some forms of male factor infertility and does not increase the risk of birth defects. However, the effects of AOA on patients with multiple morphological abnormalities of the sperm flagella (MMAF) caused by a DNAH1 mutation are still unknown. To explore the effects, our study analyzed a case with MMAF due to DNAH1 homozygous mutation that underwent testicular sperm extraction (TESE) combined with intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). The case had 28 MII oocytes. The 28 oocytes were divided randomly and equally into AOA and non-AOA groups. Ionomycin was used for AOA. We compared the clinical outcomes of two groups and selected three blastulation failure embryos from each group for transcriptome analysis (Data can be accessed through GSE216618). Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were determined with an adjusted p-value <0.05 and a |log2-fold change| >= 1. The comparison of clinical outcomes showed that the two pronuclei (2PN) rate and grade 1-2 embryo rate at day 3 were not significantly different between the two groups. Transcriptome analyses of blastulation failed embryos showed that the use of AOA had potential risks of chromosome structure defects, transcriptional regulation defects, and epigenetic defects. In conclusion, when the case with MMAF due to DNAH1 mutation underwent TESE-ICSI, ionomycin-induced oocyte activation could not improve the clinical outcomes and introduced the risks of chromosome structure defect, transcriptional regulation defect, and epigenetic defect.

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
