Abstract
Spinal cord injury (SCI) may cause disastrous damage to human locomotion and ultimately make patients suffer from gait anomaly. In the extensive SCI research, the locomotion function serves as a vital standard not only for revealing the underlying SCI mechanism but also for evaluating the clinical therapy. Gait division is the basis of gait analysis. Calculation of gait parameters is available for locomotion function evaluation only when gait cycles are accurately divided. Based on the characteristics of stride height, which is defined as the real-time height of toes vertical to the running direction of a treadmill belt, this study presented three automatic gait division methods, divided the gait cycles for healthy and spinal cord-injured rhesus monkeys, established the evaluation standards, and made comparison of these three methods. For the healthy, injured and mixed groups, the overall accuracies of these three methods were respectively 0.871[Formula: see text][Formula: see text][Formula: see text]0.223, 0.570[Formula: see text][Formula: see text][Formula: see text]0.372, and 0.720[Formula: see text][Formula: see text][Formula: see text]0.339 (method 1); 0.658[Formula: see text][Formula: see text][Formula: see text]0.245, 0.737[Formula: see text][Formula: see text][Formula: see text]0.206, and 0.698[Formula: see text][Formula: see text][Formula: see text]0.228 (method 2); 0.966[Formula: see text][Formula: see text][Formula: see text]0.060, 0.759[Formula: see text][Formula: see text][Formula: see text]0.343, and 0.863[Formula: see text][Formula: see text][Formula: see text]0.265 (method 3). The results show that the stride height characteristics combined with the filter technique may help realize the adequate gait division.

Abstract
The novel myokine irisin has been reported as a therapeutic target for metabolic disease. The objective of this study is to reveal the effects of aerobic training (AT) and resistance training (RT) on circulating irisin levels and their associations with change of body composition in overweight/obese adults. Twenty eight overweight/obese adults (BMI>23 kg/m2) were included in this study and compared before and after 8 weeks of exercise program (60 min/day, 5 times in a week). The subjects, in both aerobic and resistance training, showed significant improvement in anthropometric parameters and exercise capacities including maximal oxygen uptake and muscle strength. Interestingly, the circulating irisin was significantly increased in resistance training group (p=0.002) but not in aerobic training (p=0.426) compared to control group. In addition, we found the positive correlation between change of the circulating irisin and muscle mass (r=0.432, p=0.022) and the negative correlation between change of the circulating irisin and fat mass (r=−0.407, p=0.031). In the present pilot study, we found that circulating irisin level was increased by 8 weeks of resistance training in overweight/obese adults, suggesting that resistance training could be the efficient exercise type in overweight/obese considering positive change of body composition concomitant with increase of irisin levels.

Abstract
Both β-catenin (β-cat) and osterix (OSX) are known to be essential for embryonic and postnatal osteoblast differentiation and bone growth. In the present study, we explored the crosstalk between β-cat signaling and OSX, and assessed its effect on the osteoblastogenic differentiation of human pre-osteoblastic cells (MG-63) and bone marrow stromal cells (HS-27A). In the HS-27A and MG-63 cells, the selective β-cat signaling inhibitor, CCT031374, and the stable overexpression of a constitutively active β-cat mutant respectively decreased and increased the cytoplasmic/soluble β-cat levels, and respectively decreased and increased TOPflash reporter activity, the mRNA levels of β-cat signaling target genes c-Myc and c-Jun, as well as the mRNA and protein expression levels of OSX. Mutational analyses and electrophoretic mobility shift assays revealed that the increased binding activity of c-Jun at a putative c-Jun binding site (-858/-852 relative to the translation start codon, which was designated as +1) in the human OSX gene promoter was required for teh β-cat signaling-induced expression of OSX in the HS-27A and MG-63 cells. During osteoblastogenic culture, stimulating β-cat signaling activity by the stable overexpression of the active β-cat mutant markedly increased alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and calcium deposition in the HS-27A and MG-63 cells, which was abolished by knocking down OSX using shRNA. On the other hand, the inhibition of β-cat signaling activity with CCT031374 decreased the ALP activity and calcium deposition, which was completely reversed by the overexpression of OSX. On the whole, the findings of our study suggest that β-cat signaling upregulates the expression of OSX in human pre-osteoblastic and bone marrow stromal cells by trans-activating the OSX gene promoter mainly through increased c-Jun binding at a putative c-Jun binding site; OSX largely mediates β-cat signaling-induced osteoblastogenic differentiation. The present study provides new insight into the molecular mechanisms underlying osteoblast differentiation.
