Authors: Wang Jiaxin , Wang Shuhan , Tian Wanqing , Yao Dong , Sun Lining , Shi Liyi , Liu Jinliang
Published: March 2018

Pollution caused by copper is one of the key factors of environment contamination. As one of heavy metals, copper is hard to decompose in nature, the biological enrichment of which may lead to severe damage to health. Cu2+ detection, thus, possesses a bright application prospect both in environment protection and in human health. In this paper, a dual-functional fluorescence-magnetic composite nano-platform has been designed to sensitively detect, meanwhile capture and remove Cu2+ in the solution of water and ethanol (1:1, v/v). The core-shell structure nanoparticle synthesized by using Fe3O4 as core and SiO2 as shell, is covalently bonded with rhodamine derivatives on the silica layer to construct the nano-platform. The emission is increased upon the addition of Cu2+, showing fluorescence turn on effect for the detection, and the limit of detection which was as low as 1.68 nM. Meanwhile, Cu2+ ions are captured by the coordination with rhodamine derivatives, and can be removable with the help of magnetic field.

In the paper, the effect of voltage increasing (from 500 VDC up to 650 VDC) on the structure and chemical composition of porous coating on titanium made by Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation, is presented. In the present paper, phosphates based coatings enriched with calcium, magnesium, zinc and copper in electrolyte based on 1 L of 85% concentrated H3PO4 with additions of Ca(NO3)2·4H2O, and Mg(NO3)2∙6H2O, and Zn(NO3)2∙6H2O, and Cu(NO3)2∙3H2O, are described. The morphology, chemical and phase composition, are evaluated using SEM, EDS, XRD, XPS, GDOES. Based on all the analyses, it was found out that the PEO coatings are porous and enriched with calcium, magnesium, zinc and copper. They consist mainly of the amorphous phase, which is more visible for higher voltages, and it is correlated with the increasing of the total PEO coating thickness (the higher the voltage, the thicker the PEO coating). However, for 650 VDC an amorphous phase and titanium substrate was also recorded with a signal from Ti2P2O7 crystalline, that was not observed for lower voltages. It was also found out that all the obtained coatings may be divided in three sub-layers, i.e. porous, semiporous, and transition one.

Cementing Operations with Managed Pressure Assist – A Practical Approach
Authors: Graham Robert , Cadd Michael , Wight Colin , Sandell Richard , Jeffries Stuart , Haq Inam
Published: March 2018

Managed Pressure Drilling has been a key growth area in the quest to enhance safety and efficiency while drilling wells with ever-increasing levels of complexity. While MPD facilitates drilling in narrow windows, it is often the cementing of tubulars that represents the biggest challenge and results in the most frequent occurrence of losses.

Cementing operations are some of the most critical of all well construction activities due to their impact on well integrity and the fact that the first attempt represents the best opportunity to secure cement placement. Many of the techniques currently employed in Managed Pressure Drilling can be applied to improve cementing operations. However, a more complex circulating environment with multiple fluids in tight annuli makes the application more challenging. When planned and executed effectively, Managed Pressure Assisted Cementing can bring significant benefits to the design of the wells and the integrity of the cement isolation: Casings can be set deeper, tighter clearances can be accepted between casing OD and hole size, cement can be displaced at higher rates, and cementing operations can be reliably performed without losses.

This paper explores the key risks and challenges associated with employing a managed pressure approach to cementing, and describes an empirical methodology that has been developed to reliably deliver successful cement placement in a narrow-margin environment.
Managed Pressure Drilling in Deepwater Brazil Presalt Severe-Loss Scenario
Authors: Pontes Thiago , Barbosa Fernando , Cosendey Silvio
Published: March 2018

Managed pressure drilling (MPD) is a technique used to drill wells when conventional rotary techniques are inadequate. MPD technology enables narrow-window and severe-loss wells to be drilled by controlling bottomhole pressure (BHP) and through early detection of any influx or losses.

This paper discusses a campaign involving three wells drilled in the Brazil presalt area using MPD technology and analyzes lessons learned. Operational procedures are primary to the analysis; however, kick detection and system logic are also discussed, as this case represents the first use of the new MPD technology in a deepwater presalt scenario.

The MPD system can be divided basically into two parts: (1) the flow deviation system, which enables a closed loop to be created to control flow deviations and (2) the pressure management system, which controls BHP by opening and closing an automated choke and measuring flow out. The pressure management system is enhanced by surface equipment, such as an automated choke and Coriolis meter, and the control software that receives all the information to control choke opening and closing analyzes data to detect and control any kicks or losses.

This paper focuses on the surface equipment and software applied and discusses the results, challenges, and savings resulting from MPD technology use.
Deployment of Fully Automated MPD and Manganese Tetroxide Mud System to Drill Ultra-Narrow Mud Window in HPHT Gas Wells

Published: March 2018

Introduction

Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD) has become a well-recognized and common technique used to drill across hole sections with a small margin between the pore and fracture pressures of the exposed formations. In many applications worldwide, conventional drilling is not viable in extreme narrow drilling window sections, where well control incidents are numerous and lost circulation is severe. Rather than tirelessly trying to tweak mud weight (MW) to handle these troubles while drilling conventionally, the use of surface backpressure (SBP) along with lower density drilling fluids allow for maintaining the bottom-hole pressure (BHP) within the drilling window. The MPD surface choke, equipped with hydraulics modelling software, exerts SBP automatically to maintain a stable BHP while drilling and thus results in an integrated drilling operation with minimal risk and proactive approach (Medley et al. 2008).

This paper highlights the drilling operation of an onshore HPHT gas field where an over-pressured zone is encountered, requiring extreme mud gradients. Wells in the field required varying mud densities from as low as 147 pcf and up to 157 pcf. This high density mud along with the narrow drilling window increase the risk of lost circulation and stuck pipe when drilling conventionally. MPD was utilized successfully in several wells, providing improvement in the time required to drill and reduced drilling complications. It enabled drilling with lower MW and enhanced control of BHP, thereby avoiding losses resulting from the high equivalent circulating density. Specific procedures were developed for MPD drilling across this high pressure zone. Manganese tetroxide mud was used to enhance the rheological properties of the drilling fluid. The resulting mud has proven to have significantly lower viscosity and less tendency to settling compared to barite mud systems. The combination of manganese tetroxide mud and MPD drilling proved to be an excellent option to drill through tight mud windows with ultra-high mud weight systems.
Experimental Study on Riser Gas Expansion and Unloading
Authors: Kaldirim Omer , Schubert Jerome J.
Published: March 2018

Gas influxes are common during drilling operations. If not handled properly, in open loop systems gas can expand and unload the riser, however in closed loop systems, unless gas is depressurized, the top section of the riser will become over pressured. Riser unloading has not been accurately modeled due to uncertainties in gas expansion. This paper presents studies on gas expansion and unloading in a lab scale model at Texas A&M University.

We have performed experiments in a scaled riser at the Dual Gradient Drilling laboratory. We ran experiments using water and air as the gas phase. We recorded the change in volume as gas expands and liquid height changes. We mitigated the disproportion of the atmospheric pressure and the scale of the model by using vacuum pumps. We also measured overflow by allowing liquid level to rise to determine the final gas volume.

The experiments provide information on gas expansion and riser unloading. During the expansion process the top of the bubble travels rapidly building momentum, which carries a large volume of mud to the top of the riser model. This occurs through the rapid change in gas volume and the energy released as the pressure decreases. By allowing gas to expand in a controlled environment we measured the impact of gas expansion.

This paper provides information on controlled and uncontrolled gas expansion, impact on riser unloading, and benefits of a closed system.
Optimizing MPD Performance in Highly Permeable Exploratory HPHT Reservoirs: Dealing with Human Factor and Technology Limitations
Authors: Awe Sunday , Akinfolarin Ayodele , Erinle Adeyemi Olatunde , Ibrahim Timothy
Published: March 2018

The management of human factor and the utilization of advanced Annular Pressure Monitoring (APM) tool enhanced the performance of Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD) in a highly permeable and narrow margin high pressure (HP)exploration gas wells in the Niger Delta. The pore pressure prognosis (PPP) indicated narrow drilling window in the HP section which necessitated the deployment of MPD for safe project execution.

The MPD mud design entailed drilling with a mud weight that balanced the expected pore pressure prognosis (PPP) and the application of MPD surface back pressure (SBP) to balance the highest PPP case. During the drilling of the first of a three-well-campaign, a kick was taken with pore pressure equivalent to the highest predicted case. The evaluation of the pre-kick Equivalent Static Density (ESD) data indicated that the bottom hole pressure (BHP) was not maintained at the programmed set point unknown to the MPD operator. Transient dips in the BHP below the set point and pore pressure resulted to significant gas influx from the gas reservoir with permeability of 124 - 204mD and reservoir mobility of 112 – 1000mD/cp. Incident causal analysis revealed the contribution of human factor and limitations of conventional APM tool.

This paper details how human factor was effectively managed using procedures and training, and how the advanced APM tool enhanced MPD process optimization in the second deployment resulting in the achievement of BHP values within the range for safe drilling.

Effects of Excitotoxic Lesion with Inhaled Anesthetics on Nervous System Cells of Rodents
Authors: Quiroz-Padilla Maria Fernanda , Guillazo-Blanch Gemma , Sanchez Magdy Y. , Dominguez-Sanchez Maria Andrea , Gomez Rosa Margarita
Published: March 2018

Different anesthesia methods can variably influence excitotoxic lesion effects on the brain. The main
purpose of this review is to identify potential differences in the toxicity to nervous system cells of two common
inhalation anesthesia methods, isoflurane and sevoflurane, used in combination with an excitotoxic lesion procedure
in rodents. The use of bioassays in animal models has provided the opportunity to examine the role of specific
molecules and cellular interactions that underlie important aspects of neurotoxic effects relating to calcium
homeostasis and apoptosis activation. Processes induced by NMDA antagonist drugs involve translocation of Bax
protein to mitochondrial membranes, allowing extra-mitochondrial leakage of cytochrome C, followed by sequence
of changes that ending in activation of CASP-3. The literature demonstrates that the use of these anesthetics
in excitotoxic surgery increases neuroinflammation activity facilitating the effects of apoptosis and necrosis on
nervous system cells, depending on the concentration and exposure duration of the anesthetic. High numbers of
microglia and astrocytes and high levels of proinflammatory cytokines and caspase activation possibly mediate
these inflammatory responses. However, it is necessary to continue studies in rodents to understand the effect of
the use of inhaled anesthetics with excitotoxic lesions in different developmental stages, including newborns,
juveniles and adults. Understanding the mechanisms of regulation of cell death during development can potentially
provide tools to promote neuroprotection and eventually achieve the repair of the nervous system in pathological
conditions.

Published: March 2018

Introduction: Oxadiazoles having azo-functionality represent a new and an exciting
class of physiologically active heterocyclic compounds. A number of molecules with these moieties
have significant role in medicinal chemistry due to their diverse biological activities.

Methodology: A series of 1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-thiol derivatives bearing azo-moiety have been designed
and synthesized by multistep reaction sequences staring from p-aminobenzoic acid by employing
literature know procedures. These compounds were investigated for their antimicrobial,
cytotoxic, α-amylase and protein kinase inhibitory and antileishmanial potential.

Results and Discussion: The newly synthesized compounds were characterized by spectroscopic
techniques (IR, UV-Vis, NMR and MS). Antibacterial activity was investigated against four bacterial
strains i.e. E. coli, P. aeruginosa, S. aureusand B. subtilis and good level of microbial inhibition
was exhibited by most of the compounds with MIC 6.25 µg/mL. Brine Shrimp lethality assay revealed
that the compound 31 is an excellent cytotoxic agent. (E)-5-(4-((4-Butoxyphenyl)
diazenyl)phenyl)-1, 3,4-oxadiazole-2-thiol (21) showed good α-amylase inhibition (46.3± 0.45%)
and (E)-2-(Decyloxythio)-5-(4-((propoxyphenyl)diazenyl)phenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole (30) exhibited
excellent antileishmanial activity (88.4± 0.34%) at 10 µg/mL concentration. In case of protein
kinase inhibition, remarkably, the oxadiazole-2-thiols (20-25) were found more active than the
standard surfactinat tested concentration (25 µg/disc).

Conclusion: We have designed, synthesized and characterized an interesting series of biologically
active oxadiazole bearing diazene moiety derivatives. Noteworthy, the presence of diazene functionality,
polar heterocyclic moiety as well as hydrophobic alkyl chain is special feature of these
compounds. These studies provide a basic idea to further explore these types of scaffolds as biologically
potent molecules in drug design and development.

Authors: Cossu Giulia , Loi Emilio , Carta Mauro Giovanni , Bramanti Alessia
Published: March 2018

Background:

The physical activity has been indicated as an experience that can help achieve positive, self-oriented own body awareness. This awareness is an aspect that tends to get worse with age.

Objective:

Our study aims to verify the internal consistency of a questionnaire on physical awareness in a sample of Italian elders; a secondary objective is to measure if there is a relationship between physical awareness and perceived level of physical activity.

Methods:

Cross sectional study on a consecutive sample of elderly people was administered the “Physical Body Experiences Questionnaire simplified for active aging (PBE-QAG)”, inspired by the “Physical Body Experiences Questionnaire”, modified, simplified and adapted to be used in the elderly over 65. To elderly people the International Physical Activity Questionnaire. Cronbach’s alpha was also used to assess internal reliability of the total PBE-QAG. The factor structure was evaluated through Confirmatory Factor Analyses (CFAs).

Results:

The Cronbach’s alpha was 0.8 for the “body-mind relationship” scale, 0.81 for the “accepting your body” scale, 0.83 for the “awareness of physical skills” scale, and 0.65 for the “awareness of physical limits” scale. Cronbach’s alpha for the total PBE-QAG was 0.89. The CFA indicated a model with the 4 factors (CFI = 0.989, TLI = 0.984, RMSEA = 0.076).

People who conducted physical activity assiduously or regularly and over 10 minutes showed a better score to the PBE-QAG than those who declared a sporadic activity and for “less than 10 minute”, respectively.

Conclusion:

Our study revealed that the PBE-QAG shows an excellent total internal consistency. In the Italian sample of elderly people the questionnaire shows the model with the 4 factors described in literature.

Published: March 2018

Background:

Immunotherapy has recently revolutionized the world of oncology. Nivolumab an IgG4 targeting PD-1 receptor has been approved in metastatic melanoma, renal cell carcinoma, Hodgkin lymphoma and non-small cell lung cancer. It works as a checkpoint inhibitor, allowing the immune system to clear cancer, and it is this mechanism of action which explains its toxicity also named as immmune-related adverse events.

Case Presentation:

This report describes the case of a 65-year-old female with metastatic lung adenocarcinoma treated with nivolumab. After 19º cycle she presented acute severe toxicity with pneumonitis, hypophisitis and thrombocytopenia. She was successfully treated with high dose steroids and immunoglobulins.

Conclusion:

Immune-related adverse events associated with nivolumab are usually nonspecific, with lots of differential diagnosis. They often resolve with prompt management, however, they may get severe if treatment is not retired and systemic immunosupression with corticosteroids is initiated. As shown in this case, we must be attentive throughout the treatment and even after the end of the treatment, since not all cases occur according to what is described in the literature.

Published: March 2018

Sustainable water resources management is a priority issue today. One of the major problems in the sustainable usage of lakes is the estimation of water budget components. The determination of the water budget of lakes is fundamental to an understanding of their hydrological characteristics. The Salda Lake is an inland closed basin and located within the Lake District of Turkey. In addition, the Salda Lake is one of the important wetlands of Turkey and is in the status of protected areas. Therefore, the Salda Lake is indispensable water source for region. The Salda Lake area is 44.7 km2 and lake level is 1136.5 m. In this study, conceptual water balance model of the Salda Lake was developed. Recharge of the Salda Lake is supplied from especially precipitation, surface and groundwater inflow. The directly recharge from the precipitation was calculated as 22.04 (x106) m3/year. The discharge components of the lake are evaporation. The evaporation amount from the lake was determined as 53.98 (x106) m3/year. The unmeasured recharge from groundwater was calculated as 26.33 (x106) m3/year. According to rainfall, evaporation and the lake water level relations, rainfall is dominantly effective on the lake water level change.

BACKGROUND

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is one of the major morbidities in public health, and the use of mHealth technology for rehabilitation of patients with COPD can help increase physical activity and ameliorate respiratory symptoms.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to develop a comprehensive rehabilitation management platform to improve physical activity and quality of life in patients with COPD.

METHODS

The study comprised the following 2 stages: (1) a pilot stage in which a prototype app was developed; and (2) a fully-fledged platform development stage in which 2 apps and 1 COPD patient monitoring website were developed. We conducted a randomized clinical trial to investigate the efficacy of the apps developed in the second stage of the study. In addition, two 12-week exercise regimens (fixed and fixed-interactive) were tested for the trial. The clinical parameters of the respiratory function and patient global assessment (PGA) of the app were obtained and analyzed. Notably, Android was the chosen operating system for apps.

RESULTS

We developed 2 COPD rehabilitation apps and 1 patient monitoring website. For the clinical trial, 85 patients were randomized into the following 3 groups: 57 were allocated to the 2 intervention groups and 28 to the control group. After 6 weeks, the COPD assessment test scores were significantly reduced in the fixed group (P=.01), and signs of improvement were witnessed in the fixed-interactive group. In addition, the PGA score was moderate or high in all aspects of the user experience of the apps in both intervention groups.

CONCLUSIONS

A well-designed mobile rehabilitation app for monitoring and managing patients with COPD can supplement or replace traditional center-based rehabilitation programs and achieve improved patient health outcomes.

The production of ruminants in Brazil is based exclusively on grazing, since they are able to provide low cost energy substrates, mainly from fibrous carbohydrates. However, forage plants in most cases when used as an exclusive source in the ruminant diet do not meet the requirements of the animal due to the recognized fluctuation of nutritional requirements, which compromises the yield, signaling to the need to supplement the animals, for the purpose of providing nutrients that are limiting performance. Supplementation should be used to maximize the utilization of the available forage, and the forage consumption of the animals can remain unchanged, increase or decrease, which makes the knowledge of this practice a challenge to obtain the desired results, keeping in mind that the supplement should not provide nutrients beyond the requirements of the animals, thereby reducing the frequency of delivery of the supplement for grazing animals. The aim is to make better use of labor in distributing the supplement and reducing costs without affecting the performance of the animals.
