Reliability and Validity of Disability Identity Scale in Chinese Version / 中国康复理论与实践

Objective:To investigate the applicability of Disability Identity Scale in Chinese context. Methods:A total of 291 questionnaires about Disability Identity Scale were collected with multi-stage sampling in May, 2018. The preliminary structure of the Disability Identity Scale was analyzed with exploratory factor analysis, and the structural validity of the scale was discussed with confirmatory factor analysis. Results:The Cronbach's α coefficient of the total scale was 0.865, and the internal consistency of each dimension of the scale was 0.742 to 0.838. The total test-retest reliability was 0.776, and the internal consistency of each dimension was 0.640 to 0.893. Five factors were extracted, named Positive Disability and Stigma/Shame in the dimension of personal identity, Social Acceptance, Social Exclusion-Personal Attribution, Social Exclusion-Social Attribution in the dimension of social identity. Conclusions:Disability Identity Scale is reliable and stable that can be used in the study of disability identity in China after modification.

Expression of FAP and alpha-SMA during the incised wound healing in mice skin / 法医学杂志

UNLABELLED@#OBJECTIVE To investigate the time-dependent expression of fibroblast activation protein (FAP) and alpha-smooth muscle actin(alpha-SMA) during the incised wound healing of the skin in mice.@*METHODS@#The expression of FAP and alpha-SMA in incised wound of mice skin was detected by immunohistochemistry and Western blot.@*RESULTS@#By immunohistochemistry, the expression of FAP and alpha-SMA in the normal skin and the skin 1 h after injury maintained at a very low level, but the positive cells expressing FAP and alpha-SMA started to elevate 6 h after injury and reached its peak on 5 d for FAP and on 3 d for alpha-SMA, then gradually decreased to the normal level on 14 d. The expression of FAP and alpha-SMA was observed throughout the wound healing stages 1 d after injuries by Western blot as well with a peak expression occurring on 5 d for FAP and on 3 d for alpha-SMA after injury.@*CONCLUSION@#FAP may be a potentially useful marker for wound age determination and alpha-SMA may be used as an effective indicator for the mid- and late stage incised wound of mice skin. The combination use of FAP and alpha-SMA may be potentially effective indicators for wound age determination.
