The authors present an analysis of publications on Journal of Korean Neurosurgical Society in 2002. Total 219 articles were published and the contents were clinical articles 94(42.9%), laboratory investi-gations 22(10.0%), case reports 102(46.6%), and review article one(0.5%), respectively. We hope that this analysis might be one of the stimuli to improve Journal of Korean Neurosurgical Society.

This paper demonstrates the properties of technical terms in general and introduces the efforts to refine the medical terms in contemporary Korean. There are many Sino-Korean terms which are too difficult to comprehend in the medical field. In the ⌜Medical Termonology ; the 4th edition⌟, we suggest many original Korean words be substituted for the Sino-Korean words. This suggestion has been made with cautin and it is hoped that the new terms will gradually replace the traditional Sino-Korean terms.

OBJECTIVES: This study was designed to develop and validate a scale for measuring the negative effects of job stress on an individual, its family, and its community. METHODS: Based on open-ended questions, interviews, and expert comments, 73 preliminary scale items consisting of 12 factors were assembled. The initial survey was administered to 344 employees in order to conduct item analyses, reliability tests, and factor analyses of the stress assessment scale. The results of the factor analyses indicated that an 8 factor model comprising 43 items was most meaningful. For the final survey, data were obtained from 2732 employees. RESULTS: Factor analysis of the final survey data showed that the developed 8 factor model was appropriate for its intended use. Results of correlation analyses showed that the assessment scale was significantly related to stress response, thereby confirming convergent validity, and was related to various criteria including life satisfaction, hope, optimism, and subjective happiness, thereby confirming criterion-related validity. CONCLUSION: A scale useful in the assessment of negative effects on job stress on workers and on their community members including their families was developed and validated.

Korean Association of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (KAOG) was established semicentury ago (1947). Even Korea faced a massive destrcution, political and economic crisis during Korean war, but KAOG bad developed more and more. Finally, KAOG has developed a stable association now. Now not only KAOG is a firm association domestically but also engages in an international association (e.g. AOFG, FIGO, SOINTF) and gives much contribution. Even now KAOG faces a hard-time, but I hope that KAOG will develop a prospective association in 21th century with an effort to educate many young researchers.
