Invasion of trophoblasts into maternal uterine tissue is essential for establishing mature feto-maternal circulation. The trophoblast invasion associated with placentation is similar to tumor invasion. In this study, we investigated the role of KAI1, an anti-metastasis factor, at the maternal-fetal interface during placentation. Mouse embryos were obtained from gestational days 5.5 (E5.5) to E13.5. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed that KAI1 was expressed on decidual cells around the track made when a fertilized ovum invaded the endometrium, at days E5.5 and E7.5, and on trophoblast giant cells, along the central maternal artery of the placenta at E9.5. KAI1 in trophoblast giant cells was increased at E11.5, and then decreased at E13.5. Furthermore, KAI1 was upregulated during the forskolin-mediated trophoblastic differentiation of BeWo cells. Collectively, these results indicate that KAI1 is differentially expressed in decidual cells and trophoblasts at the maternal-fetal interface, suggesting that KAI1 prevents trophoblast invasion during placentation.

Purpose: This study aimed to describe knowledge status of current research related to maternal adaptation of women immigrants by marriage in Korea. Methods: Eighteen quantitative current researches published from January, 2006 to August, 2014 that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. These 18 articles finally selected for systemic review from 5,168 articles. All current researches included the mother within one year after childbirth and one variable related to maternal adaptation at least. Results: Variables related to psychological adaptation (48.1%) were mostly studied. In detail, parenting stress (17.3%) and parenting competency (15.4%) were frequently surveyed. Also, social support (7.7%), husband rearing support (5.8%) of relational adaptation, and acculturation (3.8%) of cultural adaptation were importantly studied. In addition, frequently used instruments for each study variable were analyzed and evaluated. As major results, parenting stress and parenting efficacy were significantly influenced by social support or husband rearing support and acculturation, and had an effect on parenting behaviors. Various maternal education programs were effective in improving maternal role confidence or parenting efficacy and decreasing parenting stress. Conclusion: Nursing intervention programs for improving maternal adaptation should focus on decreasing parenting stress and increasing parenting efficacy by improving social support and acculturation level of women immigrants by marriage in Korea.

Little is known about the relationship between fathers and their preadolescent children in Korea or about variations in fathering by SES and sex role orientation. The purpose of this exploratory research was to examine variation in contemporary Korean fathering (e.g., warmth of fathering, frequency of father involvement, and task share of father involvement) and its influence on children's sex role development. One hundred and twenty-nine fathers, mothers, and their 11-13-year-old children completed standardized survey questionnaires addressing their childrearing practices, parental role involvement, spousal support, and sex role orientations. Data were analyzed using MANOVAs, t-test, correlational analyses, and multiple regression analyses. Mothers reported more warmth in parenting than did fathers. Regardless of sex of child middle class fathers reported more warmth than lower class fathers and lower frequency of task share than lower class fathers. Regardless of SES, fathers with working wives reported higher levels of task share of involvement relative to their spouse. Fathers who were more frequently involved with their children tended to receive greater support from their wives for paternal involvement. There were no differences in parenting by sex of child nor was fathering associated with children's sex role orientation. Girls' femininity was related to fathers' masculinity. SES, maternal support, fathers' femininity, parents' education level, and maternal work status had predictive ability for the ecological view that fathering is a dynamic process predicted by personal characteristics as well as contextual factors.

The present study was designed to answer the following questions: 1) Is there and relationship between the adolescent's sex role identity and perceived parent behavious? 2) Is there any gender differences in perceived parent behavious? 3) Is there any interaction effect between sex role identity and gender in perceived parent behaviors? 109 male and 101 female undergraduates from the five universities in Seoul served as subjects in this investigation. Subjects were administered the Parent Behavior From (PBF) and the Bem Sex Role Inventory (BSRI) in counterbalanced order. A4 (sex-role identity)×2(gender) multivariate analysis of variance was performed for the perceived paternal and maternal behaviors separately. The simultaneous confidence intervals for pairwise comparison were followed when the MANOVA was significant. In testing all hypotheses, .05 was used as a significance level in this study. For the perceived paternal behavious, 1) The androgynous group, compared with the undifferentiated group, reported greater father warmth, active involvement, greater encouragement of cognitive independence, cognitive curiosity, cognitive competence, achievement control, and conformity. 2) The androgynous individuals showed higher father warmth, congitive independence, curiosity, and cognitive competence than the feminine individuals. 3) The androgynous individuals were found to have significantly higher father warmth than the masculine individuals. For the perceived maternal behaviors, there was a significant difference between gender groups in conformity. Daughters reported higher conformity than sons. The interaction effect between sex-role identity and gender, however, was not found to be significant.

This study determines the factors that contribute to the sense of self-identity for children from multicultural and rural families and provides a systematic understanding of individual self-identity. It also provides implications on how parents, teachers, and professionals can approach their role when instructing and rearing children of different sociocultural backgrounds. The subjects consist of the 310 children from multicultural families (Korean fathers and immigrant mothers) residing in South Korea and 280 children from rural families with similar conditions to those in multicultural families in North Jeolla Province South Korea. The sense of self-identity and maternal parenting behavior were perceived differently by children of multicultural and rural families, whose sense of self-identity was affected by school satisfaction and maternal parenting behavior.

The purpose of this study was to examine the relations of mother-adolescent relationships and adolescents' self-esteem to their achievement motivation. The mediating role of adolescent' self-esteem was also explored in the relations between mother-adolescent relationships and their achievement motitation. The subjects of this study consisted of 284 2nd-grade middle school students living in D city. The major findings were that adolescents who experienced higher maternal warmth showed higher achievement motivation, while those who experienced higher maternal rejection/restriction showed lower achievement motivation. Adolescent who experienced higher open family communication reported higher achievement motivation, and those who experienced higher problem in family communication reported lower achievement motivation. The higher self-esteem was, the higher adolescents' achievement motivation was. Adolescents' self-esteem mediated in the relations between maternal rejection/restriction and problems in family communication and their achievement motivation.

The purpose of this study is to examine the relationships between children's roles, parental attachment, teacher's concerns and school adjustment among Children's Alcoholics(COAs). Participants were 2,803 middle and high school students in Seoul. The regression analysis results showed that hero role was positively associated with school bonding and academic performance but increased the level of anxiety/depression. Meanwhile, scapegoat and lost children's roles were negatively associated with school bonding and also increased the level of anxiety/depression. Mascot role were positively associated with school bonding and academic performance but had no relation with anxiety/depression. Regarding moderating effects, maternal attachment moderated the relationship between scapegoat role and school bonding while teacher's concerns moderated the relationship between hero role and anxiety/depression, and the relationship between scapegoat role and anxiety/depression. These findings suggested that practitioners need to consider the contributions of children's roles on school adjustment and moderating effects of maternal attachment or teacher's concerns when intervention programs are developed to improve school adjustment among COAs.

역학 연구에 따르면 임신 중 산모의 감염, 산모의 스트레스, 환경적 위험 요인이 태아의 인지 장애와 관련된 뇌 발달 이상 위험을 증가시키고 정신분열증 및 자폐 스펙트럼 장애에 대한 감수성을 증가시키는 것으로 나타났다. 여러 동물 모델은 모체 면역 활성화(MIA)가 태아와 자손의 비정상적인 뇌 발달 및 행동 결함을 유발하기에 충분하다는 것이 입증되었다. 모체 면역활성화 동물 모델에는 흔히 바이러스 모방 Poly I:C 또는 박테리아 유래물질 LPS 등을 임신한 어미에 도입시킴으로서 모체 면역이 활성화되며, 친염증성 사이토카인이 증가하고 자손의 뇌에서 미세아교세포 활성이 관찰되었다. 미세아교세포는 중추신경계에서 중재 역할을 하는 뇌 상주 면역 세포이다. 미세아교세포는 식균 작용, 시냅스 형성 및 분지, 혈관 신생과 같은 다양한 기능을 담당하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 여러 연구에서 미세아교세포가 모체면역활성화 자손에서 활성화되어 있고, 다양한 사이토카인과의 상호작용을 통해 자손 행동에 영향을 미침이 보고되었다. 또한 신경세포와 별아교세포와의 상호작용을 통해 뇌회로에서도 중요한 역할을 담당한다. 그러나 미세아교세포가 뇌 발달 및 행동 결함에 필수적인지에 대해서는 논란이 있으며 정확한 메커니즘은 아직 알려지지 않다. 따라서 뇌 발달 장애의 잠재적 진단 및 치료를 위해서는 모체면역활성화 동물 모델에서 미세아교세포 기능 연구의 필요성이 더욱 요구되고 있다.

본 연구는 영화 <케빈에 대하여>를 융의 개성화 이론을 통해 분석하고자 한다. 동명의 원작소설을 바탕으로 가족과 다수의 인물을 살해한 소년과 어머니에 대한 내용이다. 모성애를 소재로 한 영화들은 자녀를 위해 헌신하는 모성의 숭고함을 드러내거나 때로 사회적 통념이나 윤리를 거스르는 행위조차도 서슴지 않는 모성을 등장시키는 장르 영화로 표현한다. 또는 모성성과 충돌하는 여성의 욕망을 표현하여 모성이데올로기에 대해 의문을 제기한다. 모성이데올로기는 근대적 산물로서 산업화 사회에서 성역할을 고정하는 영향을 끼쳤다. 이를 통해 부성애와 달리 모성애는 여성성과 동일시 되며 여성은 가족구성원으로서 개인의 양육 책임을 넘어 안전한 사회적 구성원을 길러내도록 책임이 강조되었다. 영화<케빈에 대하여>는 양육과정에서 애착형성이 부족한 모자관계에서 발생한 범죄의 서사로 전개되지만 이는 '모성애가 부족해 자식을 잘못 기른 어머니'라는 모성이데올로기의 재연이 아니다. 어머니 에바는 모성이데올로기와 충돌하는 자신의 욕망에 대한 갈등을 모자 관계에 투사했고 아들 케빈 역시 어머니를 통해 자신의 페르소나에 영향을 끼친 투사를 경험한다. 본고는 융의 개성화이론을 통해 등장인물들이 투사하는 자아를 직면하고 외부적 역할이나 이상에서 벗어나 자신의 삶의 목표를 찾아 자기실현을 하는 것으로 분석하고자 한다.
