The Construction of Adaptive Learning for Sports Based on Aerobics Trajectory Recognition Model by Chaojie Xi

“…Perceiving the movement track of aerobics is a key element of learning aerobics, but the current aerobics movement is not very professional, the ability to identify the movement track is weak, and improper movement in the movement process is easy to cause physical injury. In order to improve the safety of athletes in bodybuilding training, this paper uses Kinect to hold the coach’s body contour, determine the standard level of coaches’ sports, and combine the characteristics for aerobics training, so as to improve the sports level of coaches, through data acquisition, data processing, and feature extraction to assist sports learning, as well as human posture recognition. …”

Aberrant Hepatic Methionine Metabolism and Gene Methylation in the Pathogenesis and Treatment of Alcoholic Steatohepatitis by Charles H. Halsted, Valentina Medici

“…The pathogenesis of alcoholic steatohepatitis (ASH) involves ethanol-induced aberrations in hepatic methionine metabolism that decrease levels of S-adenosylmethionine (SAM), a compound which regulates the synthesis of the antioxidant glutathione and is the principal methyl donor in the epigenetic regulation of genes relevant to liver injury. The present paper describes the effects of ethanol on the hepatic methionine cycle, followed by evidence for the central role of reduced SAM in the pathogenesis of ASH according to clinical data and experiments in ethanol-fed animals and in cell models. …”
