    Целью работы является исследования в области неориентируемых и ориентируемых КНБК, их поведения при бурении различных интервалов ННС и ГС (набор з.у., падение з.у., стабилизация, вертикаль), а также повышение точности выполнения проектной траектории бурения и качества ствола ННС и ГС в сложных геолого-технических условиях за счёт увеличения надёжности работы КНБК. Актуальность. В современных экономических условиях ещё более актуальными стали вопросы, связанные с сокращением затрат на строительство скважин. Нефтяные и газовые месторождения разрабатываются с помощью бурения ННС и ГС, бурение которых осуществляется по двум технологиям. Первая основана на применении НК. Вторая технология предусматривает бурение скважины КНБК, содержащей ВЗД с регулируемым углом.The aim of the work is to study the non-orientable and orientable BHA, their behavior during drilling of various intervals of the directional well (zenith angle, fall of the zenith angle, stabilization, vertical), as well as increasing the accuracy of the design trajectory of drilling and the quality of the trunk of the directional well in complex geological and technical conditions due to increased reliability of the BHA. Relevance. In modern economic conditions, issues related to reducing costs for well construction became even more urgent. Oil and gas fields are developed by drilling directional well, drilling of which is carried out by two technologies. The first is based on the use of NDT. The second technology involves drilling a BHA well containing a variable-speed BPM

    Background: Children with congenital heart defects (CHDs) are at high risk for myocardial failure after operative procedures with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Recent studies suggest that microRNAs (miRNA) are involved in the development of CHDs and myocardial failure. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine alterations in the miRNA profle in heart tissue after cardiac surgery using CPB. Methods: In total, 14 tissue samples from right atrium were collected from patients before and after connection of the CPB. SurePrint™ 8 × 60K Human v21 miRNA array and quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reac‑ tion (RT-qPCR) were employed to determine the miRNA expression profle from three patients before and after con‑ nection of the CPB. Enrichment analyses of altered miRNA expression were predicted using bioinformatic tools. Results: According to miRNA array, a total of 90 miRNAs were signifcantly altered including 29 miRNAs with increased and 61 miRNAs with decreased expression after de-connection of CPB (n = 3) compared to before CPB (n = 3). Seven miRNAs had been validated using RT-qPCR in an independent cohort of 11 patients. Enrichment analyses applying the KEGG database displayed the highest correlation for signaling pathways, cellular community, cardiovascular disease and circulatory system. Conclusion: Our result identifed the overall changes of the miRNome in right atrium tissue of patients with CHDs after CPB. The diferentially altered miRNAs lay a good foundation for further understanding of the molecular function of changed miRNAs in regulating CHDs and after CPB in particula

    Myocarditis and sports in the young: data from a nationwide registry on myocarditis—“MYKKE-Sport”

    BackgroundMyocarditis represents one of the most common causes of Sudden Cardiac Death in children. Myocardial involvement during a viral infection is believed to be higher as a consequence of intensive exertion. Recommendations for return to sports are based on cohort and case studies only. This study aims to investigate the relationship between physical activity and myocarditis in the young.PatientEvery patient in the MYKKE registry fulfilling criteria for suspicion of myocarditis was sent a questionnaire regarding the physical activity before, during and after the onset of myocarditis.MethodThis study is a subproject within the MYKKE registry, a multicenter registry for children and adolescents with suspected myocarditis. The observation period for this analysis was 93 months (September 2013–June 2021). Anamnestic, cardiac magnetic resonance images, echocardiography, biopsy and laboratory records from every patient were retrieved from the MYKKE registry database.Results58 patients (mean age 14.6 years) were enrolled from 10 centers. Most patients participated in curricular physical activity and 36% in competitive sports before the onset of myocarditis. There was no significant difference of heart function at admission between the physically active and inactive subjects (ejection fraction of 51.8 ± 8.6% for the active group vs. 54.4 ± 7.7% for the inactive group). The recommendations regarding the return to sports varied widely and followed current guidelines in 45%. Most patients did not receive an exercise test before returning to sports.ConclusionSports before the onset of myocarditis was not associated with a more severe outcome. There is still a discrepancy between current literature and actual recommendations given by health care providers. The fact that most participants did not receive an exercise test before being cleared for sports represents a serious omission

    Distinct genetic architectures for syndromic and nonsyndromic congenital heart defects identified by exome sequencing.

    Congenital heart defects (CHDs) have a neonatal incidence of 0.8-1% (refs. 1,2). Despite abundant examples of monogenic CHD in humans and mice, CHD has a low absolute sibling recurrence risk (∼2.7%), suggesting a considerable role for de novo mutations (DNMs) and/or incomplete penetrance. De novo protein-truncating variants (PTVs) have been shown to be enriched among the 10% of 'syndromic' patients with extra-cardiac manifestations. We exome sequenced 1,891 probands, including both syndromic CHD (S-CHD, n = 610) and nonsyndromic CHD (NS-CHD, n = 1,281). In S-CHD, we confirmed a significant enrichment of de novo PTVs but not inherited PTVs in known CHD-associated genes, consistent with recent findings. Conversely, in NS-CHD we observed significant enrichment of PTVs inherited from unaffected parents in CHD-associated genes. We identified three genome-wide significant S-CHD disorders caused by DNMs in CHD4, CDK13 and PRKD1. Our study finds evidence for distinct genetic architectures underlying the low sibling recurrence risk in S-CHD and NS-CHD

    A Biobank for Long-term and Sustainable Research in the Field of Congenital Heart Disease in Germany

    Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most frequent birth defect (0.8%–1% of all live births). Due to the advance in prenatal and postnatal early diagnosis and treatment, more than 90% of these patients survive into adulthood today. However, several mid- and long-term morbidities are dominating the follow-up of these patients. Due to the rarity and heterogeneity of the phenotypes of CHD, multicenter registry-based studies are required. The CHD-Biobank was established in 2009 with the aim to collect DNA from patients and their parents (trios) or from affected families, as well as cardiovascular tissues from patients undergoing corrective heart surgery for cardiovascular malformations. Clinical/phenotype data are matched to the International Paediatric and Congenital Cardiac Code (IPCCC) and the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems 10th Revision (ICD-10). The DNA collection currently comprises samples from approximately 4200 participants with a wide range of CHD phenotypes. The collection covers about 430 trios and 120 families with more than one affected member. The cardiac tissue collection comprises 1143 tissue samples from 556 patients after open heart surgery. The CHD-Biobank provides a comprehensive basis for research in the field of CHD with high standards of data privacy, IT management, and sample logistics
