Exposure of the cardiac pacemaker is still a difficult problem associated with high morbidity. Grossly infected pacemaker systems had been required removal and insertion of a new system. It would highly desirable to develop a new method that could salvage an exposed well functioning unit because cardiac pacemaker is very expensive. We have experienced one patient with exposed well functioning cardiac pacemaker, which was relocated to contralateral subpectoral pocket and healed without complication. This relocation of the pacemaker to subpectoral pocket is less simple, expensive and should be considered as an alternative to complete replacement of unit.

When the number of items of same type of industrial property is quite large, calculating depreciation for a group of such items may be more efficient than depreciating each item separately. Several different depreciation systems may be used for group depreciation. If the life of each vintage in an account are not estimated, then the BG procedure can be used; the BG procedure puts all vintages of the same type of property into a single broad group for depreciation purposes. In this case, only an estimate of the PASL and the net salvage ratio for all the property in the broad group is needed to calculate the depreciation charge.

For investment calculation of capital assets, it is desirable to grasp the limiting factors of its calculation. The limiting factors can be listed as follows; $\circled1$ difficulty in estimating the service life of capital assets. $\circled2$ difficulty in estimating the receipts, and operating and maintenance expenses of the project. $\circled3$ difficulty in determining common Minimum Attractive Rate of Return. $\circled4$ difficulty in estimating the salvage value of the assets. $\circled5$ some limiting factors on present worth calculation of the projects. $\circled6$ Some limiting factors on payout period method of the economic calculation.

Depreciation accounting has as its main objective, the recovery of the original cost of plant investment less net salvage, over the estimated useful life of that plant. Accuracy of the whole life technique in meeting this objective depends entirely on the original estimates of service life and net salvages for an account. Where the whole life technique has been used and original estimates prove inaccurate, excessive or deficient accumulations in the depreciation reserve frequently occur. To overcome this, the remaining life technique is suggested to better match the challenges of accelerated technology and competition within the regulated environment. The flexibility of the remaining life technique will allow an even chance to provide a complete recovery of the original cost.

Several scholars in South Korea have predicted that maintenance costs of social infrastructure will sharply increase from the mid-2020s, and cause budgetary deficits among facilities management agencies. Interest in infrastructure asset management (IAM) is rising as a solution to such problem. In this study, an information system for asset valuation that reflects the salvage value and deferred cost of social infrastructure based on WBS (work breakdown structure) was developed in consideration of IAM. To reuse the construction cost information such as the acquisition cost, the interconnection between CBS (cost breakdown structure) and WBS was considered. Furthermore, asset valuation information was developed with XML schema to facilitate the exchange and reuse of the information among project participants.

Purpose: This study was designed to verify intermediate-term functional and radiological results of limb salvage operation using endoprosthetic replacement system ($MUTARS^{(R)}$) used in patients with a malignant bone tumor. Materials and Methods: Thirty one cases which used $MUTARS^{(R)}$ tumor prosthesis were reviewed. The mean age of the patients was 49.2 years and the mean follow up was 39.8 months. We retrospectively reviewed complications, and evaluated functionally and radiologically by Enneking functional score, ISOLS radiological implants evaluation system at last follow-up. Results: 3 patients had died of disease, distant metastasis was seen in 4 patients and local recurrence was seen in 1 patients. Complications were developed in 12 patients. (infection 6, leg length discrepancy 2, aseptic loosening 2, periprosthetic femoral fracture 1, screw loosening 1) Mean value of total functional scores were 81.2% in proximal femur, 77.4% in distal femur, 78.1% in proximal tibia, and 80.2% in proximal humerus. The overall radiological result was relatively satisfactory. Conclusion: Our results suggest limb salvage with the $MUTARS^{(R)}$ endoprosthesis is successful with good functional and radiological results. But we should be careful with complications such as infection.

An in uipo culturing to examine the cyst stage of ToxopLQsma gondii (ME49 strain) was Investigated using murine peritoneal macrophages, and we also examined the effect of CAMP or DHFR Inhibitors on the growth of bradyzoltes. For experiments ICR mice were Injected 1.p. with 1,500 brain cysts. At 1, 3, 5 and 7 days, peritoneal exudates were Isolated and then adherent peritoneal macrophages were cultured for 1,3,5 and 10 days. Growth pattern of bradyzoltes was measured by (3H)-uracil uptake assay and morphological pattern of pseudocysts formed in macrophages was observed Uth Glemsa stain. Mostly bradyzoites were observed In the macrophages extracted at 3 and S days post Infection. After 3 days in vitro, a number of pseudocysts were formed in the macrophages and the size of pseudocysts was increased during further 5 and 10 days in vitro culture. CAMP stimulated the growth of bradyzoltes when in uiuo 3 and 5 days and then in vitro 5 and 10 days conditions were applied. In case of.DHFR Inhibitors, pynmethamlne produced a linearly decremental effect with a cont.-dependent mode but methotrexate was not effective against Intracellular bradyzoltes or pseudocysts In this system. It was suggested that cyst-forming strain of T gondii (ME49 strain) could be maintained and cultivated in uitro by use of murine peritoneal macrophages. In uivo 3 and 5 days and then in uiko 5 and 10 days conditions appeared to be suitable for culturing of bradyzoltes. CAMP and pyrimethamine had an effect of stimulation and inhibition on the growth of bradyzolte, respectively.

Background: Massive, irreparable rotator cuff tears (RCTs) are a challenging clinical problem in young patients. In recent years, arthroscopic superior capsular reconstruction (ASCR) is a popular treatment in the massive, irreparable RCTs. However, studies reporting clinical results of ASCR are rare in the literature. Methods: Between 2013 and 2015, six patients underwent ASCR. One patient treated with dermal allograft, while five patients with autogenous fascia lata graft. Demographic data, as well as preoperative and last follow-up clinical data including pain, range of motion (ROM), strength, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons system, the Constant system, the University of California at Los Angeles system, the Simple Shoulder Test, and the Shoulder Pain and Disability Index system were obtained. Acromiohumeral distances and Hamada classification were measured on standard anteroposterior x-ray. Results: All patients were men, and the average age was $59.5{\pm}4.18years$ (range, 53-65 years).The minimum follow-up was 18 months with a mean follow-up was $27.33{\pm}7.58months$ (range, 18-36). All patients had postoperative improvement in pain scores and functional scores. The ROM and strength did not improve after surgery. The Hamada score progressed of radiographic stage in 2 patients. In the case of dermal allograft, there was graft failure 6 weeks after ASCR. Conclusions: Our results support the ASCR as a viable treatment for surgical salvage in massive, irreparable RCTs. This treatment option may provide patients with decreased pain and increased function. And studying our case of dermal allograft failure provides opportunities to decrease graft failure in ASCR using dermal allograft.

In this paper, we investigate the nonlinear dynamic behavior of TPP (thiamine pyrophosphate) riboswitches in E. coli (Escherichia coli). TPP riboswitches are highly conserved RNA regulatory elements, embedded within the 5’'untranslated region of three TPP biosynthesis operons. The three operons thiCEFSGH, thiMD, and thiBPQ are involved in the biosynthesis, salvage, and transport of TPP, respectively. TPP riboswitches modulate their expressions in response to changing TPP concentration, without involving protein cofactors. Interestingly, the expression of thiMD is regulated at the translational level, while that of thiCEFSGH at both levels of transcription and translation. We develop a mathematical model of the TPP riboswitch’s regulatory system possessed by thiCEFSGH and thiMD, so as to simulate the time-course experiments of TPP biosynthesis in E. coli. The simulation results are validated against three sets of reported experimental data in order to gain insight into the nature of steady states and the stability of TPP riboswitches, and to explain the biological significance of regulating at level of transcription or translation, or even both. Our findings suggest that in the TPP biosynthesis pathway of E. coli, the biological effect of down-regulating thiCEFSGH operon at the translational level by TPP riboswitch is less prominent than that at the transcriptional level.
