Several new minerals, structurally and chemically similar to the hydrotalcite-manasseite group, have been found in the saline deposits of the central pre-Caspian depression and in those of Middle Asia. Their structures consist of layers of (Mg1-xAlx)(OH)2 plus interlayers of anions and molecular water. In addition to manasseite itself, [(Mg4Al2)(OH)12][(CO3)-3H2O], having unit-cell parameters of a = 3.042, c = 2 × 7.56= 15.12 Å and a calculated density of Dc = 2.15 g/cm3, other varieties were identified whose interlayers contain alternately SO42− or SO42− and CO32− anions. The following new phases were recognized: (1) an 8.85-Å phase having the composition [(Mg4Al2)(OH)12][(SO4)·3H2O], subcell dimensions of a' = 3.04, c' = 8.85 Å, and Dc = 1.96 g/cm3; (2) an 11-Å phase having the composition [(Mg3.96Fe0.06Al1.98)(OH)12][Na0.56(SO4)1.30·7.3H2O], hexagonal unit-cell parameters of a = √3 · 3.042 = 5.28 Å, c = 11.16 Å, and Dc = 1.90 g/cm3; (3) a 16.5-Å mixed-layer phase having the composition [(Mg4Al2)(OH)12][(SO4)0.5(CO3)0.5·3H2O] and an ordered ABAB... alternation of 7.56-Å layers (i.e., a brucite-like layer + a CO32−-containing interlayer) and 8.94-Å layers containing SO42− anions in interlayers; this phase has unit-cell dimensions of a' = 3.05, c' = 16.5 Å and Dc = 2.06 g/cm3; and (4) an 18.5-Å ordered mixed-layer phase having the ideal composition [(Mg8Al4)(OH)24][M+0.5(SO4)1.25(CO3)1.0·9H2O] and an alternation of 7.56-Å, CO3-containing layers and 11-Å layers having SO42− anions and Na and Mg cations in interlayers (M+0.5 corresponds to interlayer cations). This last phase has unit-cell dimensions of a = 3.046, c = 3 × 18.54 = 55.62 Å and Dc = 1.99 g/cm3. Some of the varieties containing SO42− in the interlayers swelled with ethylene glycol or glycerol.
For this diverse family of minerals whose structures are based on brucite-like layers of the composition (R2+1-xR3+x)(OH)2, a unifying system of nomenclature is offered for consideration. In describing these brucite-like structures intercalated with anion- and cation-containing interlayers, the composition of the hydroxide sheet and the interlayers, the periodicity of the layers, and the mixed-layer nature of the material should be described. By means of symbols, a single term might be used to describe the crystal chemistry of any member of the group having a given cation composition for the brucite-like layers, for example, manasseite, a 2H polytype of hydrotalcite that has a repeat distance of 7.56 Å and CO3-containing interlayers, might be designated as 7.56-Å CO3-hydrotalcite-2H.

Health problem in students with congenital heart disease named as one of the priorities of the WHO in the XXIst century.
The project involved 78 patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) and 75 patients with somatoform autonomic dysfunction of the cardiovascular system (SAD CVS) with the system approach.
The aim of the study was the increase of Merchant life and optimization of the level of social functioning in patients with CHD based on a study of medical and psychological factors of social dysfunction and the development of models of their psychocorrection.
The findings of the factor analysis were formed by two types of social dysfunction in patients with CHD: “reactive-the sensitive” and “reactive-self-centered” types; and one common for individuals with SAD CVS – “Rigid-fixation”.
Basic psychocorrectional program consisted of 4 blocks: I – “psych educational program”, II – “Stabilization of the emotional state”, III – “Training of personal growth,” which had a «light» Course on “Reactive-sensitive” type of social dysfunction and «complete» course on “Reactive-self-centered” type of social dysfunction, IV – ”Testing of socio-adapted life skills” for people undergoing «complete» Rates.
Held psych correctional program has proven its effectiveness in 82.97% in patients with congenital heart disease and 82.22% of those with SAD CVS. The main indicators assessing effectiveness was obtained: reduction of reactive anxiety; increase in the index scale “adaptive”; increase in quality of life: mental health in 87.23% of congenital heart disease and 84.44% with SAD CVS and physical health in 76.59% and 77.78%, respectively.

Noonkanbahite, ideally BaKNaTi2(Si4O12)O2, is described as a new mineral species. At Liley [Löhley], Eifel Mountains, Germany (the holotype locality), it occurs as sprays of prismatic crystals (up to 8 mm) or single prismatic crystals (up to 4 mm) on walls of cavities in alkaline igneous rocks. At Murun, Siberia, Russia, noonkanbahite forms coarse lamellar crystals up to 0.05 cm × 0.7 cm × 1.5 cm embedded in kalsilite syenite. Noonkanbahite is brittle, H = 6, Dobs. = 3.39(1), Dcalc. = 3.49 g/cm3, has a vitreous lustre and does not fluoresce in ultraviolet light. It has poor cleavage on {010} and {100} and weak parting on {011}. Noonkanbahite is biaxial positive with 2Vobs. = 75(2)°, 2Vcalc. = 72.7(9)°, α 1.730(5), β 1.740(5) and γ 1.765(5), dispersion is medium, r < v. In transmitted plane-polarized light, noonkanbahite is strongly pleochroic, with X colourless, Y yellowish, Z straw-yellow; X = a, Y = b, Z = c. Noonkanbahite is orthorhombic, space group Imma, a = 8.0884(4), b = 10.4970(5), c = 13.9372(6) Å, V = 1183.3(1) Å3, Z = 4. The strongest ten X-ray diffraction lines in the powder pattern [d in Å (I)(hkl)] are: 2.907(100)(222), 8.353(50)(001), 3.196(50)(220), 2.097(50)(242), 2.241(40)(215), 2.179(40)(035), 3.377(30)(031), 2.694(30)(015), 2.304(30)(233), and 1.564(30)(064). Electron microprobe analysis gives SiO2 37.82, TiO2 15.54, ZrO2 0.42, Nb2O5 3.18, Al2O3 0.17, Fe2O3 (recalculated from FeO) 5.63, MnO 0.32, MgO 0.53, BaO 20.60, CaO 1.36, K2O 5.32, Na2O 6.14, F 0.78, H2O 0.58, sum 98.39 wt.%, (H2O determined by SIMS). The formula unit, calculated on the basis of 14 anions (O+OH+F), is (Ba0.85K0.13)Σ0.98(K0.59Na0.26Ca0.15)Σ1.00Na(Ti1.23Fe0.453+Nb0.15Mg0.08Mn0.03Zr0.02Al0.01)Σ1.97 (Si3.99Al0.01O12)(O1.33OH0.41F0.26)Σ2.00, Z = 4.
The crystal structure was refined to R1 = 2.8% for 970 unique (F0 > 4σF) reflections collected on a Bruker single-crystal P4 diffractometer with a CCD detector and MoKα X-radiation. The crystal structure of noonkanbahite is isostructural with that of batisite, ideally BaNa2Ti2(Si4O12)O2, and scherbakovite, ideally K2NaTi2(Si4O12)O(OH). There are two octahedrally coordinated sites, M(1) and M(2), occupied by (Ti1.23Fe0.453+Nb0.15Mg0.08Mn0.03Zr0.02Al0.01), ideally Ti2 a.p.f.u. There are three interstitial A sites, [9]A(1), [8]A(2) and [6]A(3), occupied by Ba, K and Na, respectively. Si tetrahedra and M octahedra form a framework with interstitial cages occupied by Ba, K and Na atoms at the A sites. Noonkanbahite, BaKNaTi2(Si4O12)O2, is a K analogue of batisite, BaNa2Ti2(Si4O12)O2, and a Ba analogue of shcherbakovite, K2NaTi2(Si4O12)O(OH).

The crystal structures of a suite of amphiboles from the Kola Superdeep Borehole, Russia, have been refined to R values of ∼3% using single-crystal Mo-Kα X-ray diffraction data. The same crystals used in the collection of the intensity data were subsequently analysed by electron microprobe (EMP) and milliprobe Mössbauer spectroscopy. Site populations were assigned from the results of site-scattering refinement and stereochemical analysis, taking into account the unit formula determined for each crystal. The Fe3+/(Fe2++Fe3+) values were derived (1) by least-squares refinement of the Mössbauer spectra, and (2) SREF (Structure REFinement) by careful analysis of the mean bond lengths at the M(2) site using two possible models for the behaviour of Ti4+: (i) Ti4+ at M(2); and (ii) Ti4+ at M(1). The agreement between the SREF and Mössbauer/EMP values for Fe3+ is very close for Ti4+ assigned to M(2). This result indicates that the calculation of Fe3+ contents in amphiboles from refined site populations and <M(2)–O> distances are accurate. This paper presents the first confirmation of this result.

The crystal structure of odigitriaite was solved by direct methods and refined to an R 1 value of 2.75% based on single-crystal X-ray data. It is a double-layer sheet-borosilicate mineral; Cs and Na are intercalated within the double-layer sheet, and the double layers are linked by interstitial Ca and Na atoms.

Khvorovite, ideally Pb42+Ca2[Si8B2(SiB)O28]F, is a new borosilicate mineral of the hyalotekite group from the Darai-Pioz alkaline massif in the upper reaches of the Darai-Pioz river, Tajikistan. Khvorovite was found in a pectolite aggregate in silexites (quartz-rich rocks). The pectolite aggregate consists mainly of pectolite, quartz and fluorite, with minor aegirine, polylithionite, turkestanite and baratovite; accessory minerals are calcite, pyrochlore-group minerals, reedmergnerite, stillwellite-(Ce), pekovite, zeravshanite, senkevichite, sokolovaite, mendeleevite-(Ce), alamosite, orlovite, leucosphenite and several unknown Cs-silicates. Khvorovite occurs as irregular grains, rarely with square or rectangular sections up to 150 μm, and grain aggregates up to 0.5 mm. Khvorovite is colourless, rarely white, transparent with a white streak, has a vitreous lustre and does not fluoresce under ultraviolet light. Cleavage and parting were not observed. Mohs hardness is 5–5.5, and khvorovite is brittle with an uneven fracture. The measured and calculated densities are 3.96(2) and 3.968 g/cm3, respectively. Khvorovite is biaxial (+) with refractive indices (λ = 589 nm) α = 1.659(3), βcalc. = 1.671(2), γ = 1.676(3); 2Vmeas. = 64(3)°, medium dispersion: r < v. Khvorovite is triclinic, space group I1¯, a = 11.354(2), b = 10.960(2), c = 10.271(2) Å, α = 90.32(3), β = 90.00(3), γ = 90.00(3)°, V = 1278(1) Å3, Z = 2. The six strongest lines in the powder X-ray diffraction pattern [d (Å), I, (hkl)] are: 7.86, 100, (110); 7.65, 90, (101); 7.55, 90, (011); 3.81, 90, (202); 3.55, 90, (301); 2.934, 90, (312, 312). Chemical analysis by electron microprobe gave SiO2 36.98, B2O3 6.01, Y2O3 0.26, PbO 40.08, BaO 6.18, SrO 0.43, CaO 6.77, K2O 1.72, Na2O 0.41, F 0.88, O=F –0.37, sum 99.35 wt.%. The empirical formula based on 29 (O+F) a.p.f.u. is (Pb2.762+Ba0.62K0.56Na0.16)Σ4.10(Ca1.86Sr0.06Y0.04Na0.04)Σ2[Si8B2(Si1.46B0.65)Σ2.11O28](F0.71O0.29), Z = 2 , and the simplified formula is (Pb2+, Ba, K)4Ca2[Si8B2(Si,B)2O28]F. The crystal structure of khvorovite was refined to R1 = 2.89% based on 3680 observed reflections collected on a four-circle diffractometer with MoKα radiation. In the crystal structure of khvorovite, there are four [4]-coordinated Si sites occupied solely by Si with <Si–O>= 1.617 Å. The [4]-coordinated B site is occupied solely by B, with <B–O> = 1.478 Å. The [4]-coordinated T site is occupied by Si and B (Si1.46B0.54), with <T–O> = 1.605 Å; it ideally gives (SiB) a.p.f.u. The Si, B and T tetrahedra form an interrupted framework of ideal composition [Si8B2(SiB)O28]11–. The interstitial cations are Pb2+, Ba and K (minor Na) [A(11–22) sites] and Ca [M site]. The two A sites are each split into two subsites ∼0.5 Å apart and occupied by Pb2+ and Ba + K. The [8]-coordinated M site is occupied mainly by Ca, with minor Sr, Y and Na. Khvorovite is a Pb2+ analogue of hyalotekite, (Ba,Pb2+,K)4(Ca,Y)2[Si8(B,Be)2(Si,B)2O28]F and a Pb2+-, Ca-analogue of kapitsaite-(Y), (Ba,K)4(Y,Ca)2[Si8B2(B,Si)2O28]F. It is named after Pavel V. Khvorov (b. 1965), a Russian mineralogist, to honour his contribution to the study of the mineralogy of the Darai-Pioz massif.

Lobanovite, K2Na(Fe42+Mg2Na)Ti2(Si4O12)2O2(OH)4, is a new mineral of the astrophyllite supergroup from Mt. Yukspor, the Khibiny alkaline massif, Kola Peninsula Russia. It has been known previously under the following names: monoclinic astrophyllite, magnesium astrophyllite, magnesiumastrophyllite and magnesioastrophyllite but has never been formally proposed and approved as a valid mineral species by the Commission on new Minerals, Nomenclature and Classification of the International Mineralogical Association. It has now been revalidated and named lobanovite after Dr. Konstantin V. Lobanov, a prominent Russian ore geologist who worked in the Kola Peninsula for more than forty years (Nomenclature voting proposal 15-B). Lobanovite has been described from pegmatitic cavities on Mt. Yukspor where it occurs as elongated bladed crystals, up to 0.04 mm wide and 0.2 mm long, with a straw yellow to orange colour. Associated minerals are shcherbakovite, lamprophyllite, delindeite, wadeite, umbite and kostylevite. Lobanovite is biaxial (–) with refractive indices (λ = 589 nm) α = 1.658, βcalc. = 1.687, γ = 1.710; 2Vmeas. = 81.5– 83°. Lobanovite is monoclinic, space group C2/m, a = 5.3327(2), b = 23.1535(9), c = 10.3775(4) Å, β = 99.615(1)°, V = 1263.3 (1) Å 3, Z = 2. The six strongest reflections in the powder X-ray diffraction data [d (Å), I, (hkl)] are: 3.38, 100, (003); 2.548, 90, (063); 10.1, 80, (001); 3.80, 60, (042,131); 3.079, 50, (132,062); 2.763, 90, (1̄71). The chemical composition of lobanovite was determined by electron-microprobe analysis and the empirical formula (K1.97Ba0.01)∑1.98(Na0.65Ca0.14)∑0.79 (Fe3.182+Mg2.02Na1.00Mn0.72)∑6.92(Ti1.99Nb0.06)∑2.05[(Si8.01Al0.06)∑8.07O24]O2(OH)4.03F0.19 was calculated on the basis of 30.2 (O + OH + F) anions, with H2O calculated from structure refinement, Dcalc. = 3.161 g cm–3. In the structure of lobanovite, the main structural unit is the HOH block, which consists of one close-packed O (Octahedral) and two H (Heteropolyhedral) sheets. The M(1–4) octahedra form the O sheet and the T4O12 astrophyllite ribbons and [5]-coordinated Ti-dominant D polyhedra link through common vertices to form the H sheet. The HOH blocks repeat along [001], and K and Na atoms occur at the interstitial A and B sites. The simplified and end-member formulae of lobanovite are K2Na [(Fe2+,Mn)4Mg2Na]Ti2(Si4O12)2O2(OH)4 and K2Na(Fe42+Mg2Na)Ti2(Si4O12)2O2(OH)4, respectively.

The compatibility index (from measured density) = – 0.039 (excellent). Mendeleevite-(Nd) is a Nd analogue of mendeleevite-(Ce), (Cs,□)6(□,Cs)6(□,K)6(REE,Ca,□)30(Si70O175)(H2O,OH,F,□)35. Both minerals are named after Dmitri Mendeleev (1834–1907), the great Russian chemist, author of the periodic table of chemical elements, who has had a significant impact on the development of natural sciences and industry, both in Russia and around the world.
