This paper describes the development of Korean version of two widely used self-report measure of alexithymia-Schalling-Sifneos Personality Scale (SSPS) and Toronto Alexithymia Scale(TAS), and present the preliminary results of their reliability and validity tested to an Korean college student sample(N=206). TAS showed moderate to acceptable internal consistancy with 0.26 of mean item-total correlation and 0.754 of Cronbach's alpha coefficient, while those parameters for SSPS turned out inconsistent. However, results of test-retest reliability for both scale were excellent. Factor analysis revealed tow factors for TAS and three factors for SSPS ; the four-factor structure of TAS was quite congruent with previously known alexithymaia construct, while, again, SSPS showed intermixed factor structure. TAS scores correlated fairly well with somatization scores enough to get concurrent validity while SSPS scores did not. Overall, Korean version of TAS demonstrated well matched findings in terms of internal consistency and factorial validity with original and Spanish version of TAS. The results suggest that Korean version of TAS could be a useful and reliable tool for the measurement in Korean population.

The 'discovery' or 'conquest' of the New World in 1492 was the starting point of world history that irrevocably changed the fate of the Latin American continent. The global stream known as 'Columbian Exchange', which was the widespread inter-continental contacts, inter-civilizational conflicts, or bilateral communication, has rendered multifarious effects throughout many historical periods up to the very contemporary time. The propagation of Catholicism initiated along with this 'discovery' transformed Latin America of nowadays in the region that has the biggest Catholic population in the world. The previous studies in Korea regarding Latin American Catholicism has focused on the spread of Catholicism in relation to the European colonization, rather than analyzing the concrete and detailed ways in which Catholicism exerted tremendous influences in the whole continent. They were less attentive to various historical contexts in which the diffusion of Catholicism differed greatly according to cultural landscapes and political specificities. Thus, this essay attempts to examine the diffusion of Catholicism from the perspective of confrontation between royal authorities and the power of church. The essay points out that the royal communities and institutional authorities which facilitated the intial process of Catholic evangelization maintained antagonistic relationship with ecclesial powers. By delving into the gradual transformation of church systems, it reveals that Catholicism in Latin America became a major field for conquerors in power to attain economic and political dominance. And unlike the initial submission and hospitality, the religious convert of the indigenous people attested to the violent inhumanity and opposition. Therefore, the essay aims to pave a clearer way to the understanding of complicated dynamics and conflicts between Catholicism in Latin America and the establishment of Spanish colonization.

Background: Primary bone neoplasms are rare, contributing only 0.2% of the global burden of all human malignancies. Osteosarcoma (OS) and chondrosarcoma (CS) are the most common malignancies of bone. The giant cell tumor of bone (GCTb) is a benign tumor with behavior characterized by osteolytic bone destruction. The OS, CS and GCTb affect both sexes, all races and generally have incidence peaks regarding the age of the patient which vary according to the tumor type. We analyzed the incidences of OS, CS and GCTb and their relations with gender and age in patients treated in the National Rehabilitation Institute (INR, for its acronym in Spanish) over a period of nine years. Materials and Methods: In the study period, clinic pathological data for 384 patients were obtained with clinical, radiological and histopathological diagnosis for OS, GCTb and CS. Data analysis was performed using the chi-square and Fisher's exact tests. Results: From 2006 to 2014 were recorded 384 cases of bone malignancies in the database of INR. The GCTb had the highest incidence (53.1%), followed by OS (31.3%) and finally the CS (15.6%). The overall average age was $33.6{\pm}15.8$ years and the overall frequency of gender had a ratio of 1/1.03 male/female. The states with the highest incidence were Distrito Federal and Estado de Mexico with 29.2% and 25.3% respectively. Malignant neoplasms of bone assessed in the course of nine years show three significant increases in 2008, 2011 and 2014 (p=0.14). We found association between sex and tumor type (p=0.03), GCTb and CS predominated in females (54.9% and 56.6% respectively), while for the OS males were most affected (59.1%). Age was different in relation with tumor type (p=0.0001), average age was $24.3{\pm}11.2$ years for OS, $34.5{\pm}13$ years for GCTb and $49.2{\pm}18.5$ years for CS. Furthermore, associations of tumor type with topographic location of the primary tumor (P=0.0001) were found. Conclusions: In this study we can see that incidence of musculoskeletal tumor in our population is continuously increasing and in nine years an approximately 200% increase of musculoskeletal tumor cases was observed.

제주재래돼지의 모계 혈통에 대한 보다 명확한 이해를 얻기 위해, 본 연구에서는 제주재래돼지의 미토콘드리아 DNA (mtDNA) CYTB 유전자를 분석하고 이를 타 품종들에서 얻은 결과들과 비교하였다. 제주재래돼지를 포함한 돼지 6 품종에서 PCR-RFLP 분석을 수행하였고, RFLP 양상은 돼지 품종들을 뚜렷하게 구분되는 두 가지 반수체형(mtCYTB1 and mtCYTB2)으로 분리시켰다. 제주재래돼지 CYTB 서열들은 계통수 상에서 유럽과 아시아품종 cluster에서 모두 발견되었다. 제주재래돼지 CYTB들 중에서 J2 group은 중국재래돼지품종들과 근연이면서 아시아 고유 돼지 계통들과 함께 출현하였으며, 다른 한 group인 J1에 해당하는 서열들은 유럽돼지 계통들과 함께 위치하였고, 아시아 품종들보다는 스페인의 Iberian 재래돼지들과 근연인 것으로 확인되었다. 이 결과들은 현재 제주도에서 사육되고 있는 제주재래돼지 품종의 모계 기원은 크게 아시아계 돼지와 유럽계 돼지인 것으로 추정됨을 보여준다. 따라서 본 연구결과들은 제주재래돼지 집단은 과거에 가축화된 아시아 고유 돼지품종들과 공통 선조를 공유하고, 또한 20세기에 유입된 유럽계 돼지 품종들도 현재의 집단 형성에 기여한 것임을 시사하고 있다.
