RESUMO
Objective To translate and revise the Atrial Fibrillation-Quality of Life -18 (AF-QoL-18),and to test its reliability and validity. Methods The Chinese version of AF-QoL-18 was developed through the process of translation, back- translation, cultural adaptation, and preliminary experiment. A total of 187 atrial fibrillation (AF) patients in eight hospitals in Jiangsu province were investigated using the Chinese version to test the reliability and validity. Results Exploratory factor analysis identified three factors, including physiological, psychological and sexual dimensions, which could explain 65.055%of the total variance. The content validity index was 0.969. The Cronbach α coefficient was 0.915 and the retest reliability was 0.948 for the total scale. Conclusions The Chinese version AF-QoL-18 has proved to be reliable and valid.It can be used to measure the quality of life of AF patients in China.
RESUMO
The fibronectin was purified from human plasma by Gelatin-Sepharose 4B affinity chromatography. The rabbits were immunized with the fibronectin. the raw anti-fibronectin sera were absorbed bythe solid phase of the fibronectin free human serum. Then the specific anti-fibronectin sera were obtained. The fibronectins deposited on human bullet wounds, incised wounds as well as on blunt forceinJuries were demonst.ated by PAP immunohistochemical study using diluted anti-fibronectin serum.The results were quite sati factory.
