Tissue Remodeling Induced by Poly‐l‐Lactic Acid Compared to Poly‐l‐Lactic Acid Combined With Hyaluronic Acid: Clinical and Histological Evidence From a Randomized Clinical Trial

Polymers for Advanced Technologies, Volume 37, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Skin aging is associated with progressive collagen loss and dermal thinning, supporting the use of biomaterials capable of stimulating tissue remodeling. Poly‐l‐lactic acid (PLLA) and hyaluronic acid (HA) are widely used in facial rejuvenation, although their combined application remains less investigated in controlled clinical settings.

Analysis of the factor structure of Core Self-Evaluations through exploratory structural equation modeling: 탐색적 구조방정식 모형(ESEM)의 적용을 통한 선언척도와 실제척도의 차이 검토

Korean Journal of Industrial and Organizational Psychology, 2015
본 연구에서는 핵심자기평가가 실제로 어떤 내적구조를 가지는지를 탐색적 구조방정식 모형을 적용하여 검토하였다. 검토 방법으로서 기존의 탐색적 요인분석 방식과 확인적 요인분석 방식은 척도의 문항들이 측정하고자 한 개념 이외의 다른 개념의 지표가 되거나 다른 기존 개념을 측정하는 문항과의 상관을 검토하지 못함으로서 현실에서 나타나는 척도의 정확한 내적구조를 파악하지 못하는 한계가 있었다. 이에 대한 대안으로서 탐색적 구조방정식 모형을 적용하여 내적구조를 검토하였다. 그 결과, CSE의 선언척도에서 제시된 문항들이 경험자료에서는 다르게 행동하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 불일치가 발생하는 이유는 첫째로 핵심자기평가 척도가 두 개
