To determine the emplacement age, petrogenesis, and geodynamic setting of the Xizhelimu diorite in Keyouzhongqi, Inner Mongolia of northeastern China, a detailed study of the petrography, geochronology, and whole-rock geochemistry has been conducted. Geological and petrographic studies show that the Xizhelimu diorite is zoned: the central lithofacies zone is composed of medium-fine-grained monzodiorite and quartz diorite, and the marginal lithofacies zone is fine-grained diorite. The zircon U–Pb dating results show that the ages of the central and marginal facies are 133.5 ± 1.9 and 133.4 ± 1.4 Ma, respectively. The whole-rock rare earth and trace element characteristics of the Xizhelimu diorite show an O-type adakite affinity. Combining the analysis of zircon Hf isotope composition (εHf(t) values of +7.7 to +10.0), the geochemical features of whole rock, and the results of partial melting modeling, we suggest that the parental magma of the Xizhelimu diorite was derived from the partial melting of altered oceanic crust mixing with subducting sediments at shallow depths. In the early stage of early Cretaceous, the Xizhelimu diorite originated in an extensional setting, mainly related to the closure of the western part of the Mongol–Okhotsk Ocean. The upwelling asthenospheric flow in this extensional setting induced partial melting of the paleo-oceanic crust to form the parental magma of the Xizhelimu diorite. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The super-large Baerzhe Be–Nb–Zr–REE deposit in NE China is hosted in the Early Cretaceous peralkaline granites. In this work, the newly discovered granitic dikes developed around the Baerzhe deposit were studied for the first time, focusing on their genesis and genetic relationships with the Baerzhe peralkaline granites. Zircon U-Pb dating of these granitic rocks (including the granite porphyry, rhyolite and miarolitic granite) yielded Early Cretaceous ages of 125–121 Ma. Their mineral assemblages and geochemical features suggest that they share similar features with the peralkaline A-type granites. Their geochemical data and zircon Hf isotopic compositions (εHf(t) = +3.4 to +10.5) indicate that the peralkaline granitic rocks were formed by the partial melting of dehydrated charnockite with extensive plagioclase crystal fractionation, which resulted in a peralkaline affinity. There are two types of distinct zircons in the studied samples: the type I zircon with a bright rim and dark core, which may represent a cumulate mineral phase captured together with aggregates during eruption, and the type II zircon with a higher evolution degree crystallized in the residual melts. Combined with the simulation results using whole-rock trace elements, we proposed that the peralkaline granitic dikes represent more evolved interstitial melts than the Baerzhe granitic magma. In the Early Cretaceous extensional tectonic settings, mantle-derived magma upwelled, which induced the melting of the lower crust and prolonged the evolutionary process of the magma crystal mush.

Anesthesiology is a subject with strong practicality and application. Undergraduate anesthesiology teaching needs to strike a balance between theoretical knowledge, clinical skill training, and clinical thinking development. Clinical probation and practice are an important part of undergraduate anesthesia teaching. Traditional clinical teaching uses real patients for demonstration and training, but as patients become more self-protective and less cooperative, there are not enough patients for clinical skill training. Simulation is to teach medical scenes in real life under the control of standardized technical guidelines and parameters. Since then, with the rapid development of computer technology, simulation technology and simulation teaching have been greatly developed and are more and more used in clinical teaching, skill evaluation, and scientific research. This study explores the effective methods of clinical teaching in anesthesiology by comparing the effectiveness of traditional teaching methods and simulation teaching methods in undergraduate clinical teaching. It is difficult to combine theory and practice in first aid, which does not allow them to directly receive and deal with emergency medical treatment and resuscitation. In China's current medical environment and patients' high demand for medical services, it is imperative to vigorously carry out simulated medical education. In the eastern part of Inner Mongolia, according to the advantages of teaching hospitals, our hospital took the lead in carrying out the simulation education project, which is still in the exploratory stage and not systematic enough. This study will help us to better carry out simulation teaching and improve the clinical skills of medical students in the future. Methods. The student group and class took the advanced simulator training as the experimental group, applied the advanced integrated simulator and other systems of the Norwegian company, referred to the international guidelines for cardiopulmonary resuscitation and cardiovascular first aid in 2005, and practiced in the emergency department during the clinical internship and "emergency clinical simulation training" course. The course includes basic life support, advanced life support, and comprehensive training of CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) and endotracheal intubation. Results. The passing rate of simulated first aid practice was 94.4%; 100% of the students think it is necessary to set up the course, 91% of the students think it is practical, 91% of the students think the course content is reasonable and perfect, and 77%–100% of the students think the course has improved their first aid operation ability, comprehensive application of knowledge, and clinical thinking ability. Conclusion. Carrying out the course of "clinical simulated first aid training" through the advanced simulator system can effectively improve the interns' clinical first aid operation ability, teamwork ability, and self-confidence, improve the students' clinical thinking and judgment ability, and improve the service level to patients.
