About 20 hypotheses had been suggested for explaining the disease causes. some of them are briefly introduced. The hydrogeochemical researches in Transbaikalia. Russia, showed that natural water of the endemic areas have several features in chemical composition.some of them are considered by existing hypotheses as the causes of the disease.others do not concern the possible etiologic factors of the disease for the present. The author examines these features respectively.展开更多

It was revealed that Holocene ice wedges had been formed from 10 to 7.5 ka 14 C BP. The isotope composition(δ^(18)O, δ~2 H) of relict ice wedges is the lightest and amounts-23‰ and-185‰, correspondingly. The isotopic compositions of ice lenses from sandy loam above ice wedges are-15.7‰, and-133‰; of small ice wedge in peat and sand are-15.3‰ and-117.9‰, accordingly.Interpretation of the ice wedge isotope composition has yielded that mean winter temperatures during cold stages of Holocene optimum were lower than today, during warm stages they were close to modern ones. During the coldest stages of Holocene optimum the total annual freezing index varied from-5100 to-5700 ℃ degree days, i.e. 300-600 ℃ degree days colder than during extremely severe modern winters. The total annual thawing index varied from 1300 to 1800 ℃ degree days, which was slightly higher than modern ones.展开更多

These data imply an igneous fluid source, except at the Teremkin deposit where mixing with meteoric water is indicated. Wide ranges of Fe3＋/Fetot and the presence of vacancies characterize the Darasun deposit tourmaline indicating wide ranges off（O2） and pH of mineralizing fluids. Initial stage tourmalines from the gold deposits of the Darasun ore district are dravite or high mg schorl. Second stage tourmaline is characterized by oscillatory zoning but with Fe generally increasing towards crystal rims indicating decreasing temperature. Third stage tourmaline formed unzoned crystals with XMg （mole fraction of Mg） close to that of the first stage tourmaline, due to a close association with pyrite and arsenopyrite. From Fe^3＋/Fetot values, chemical composition and crystallization temperatures, logf（O2） of mineralizing fluids ranged from ca. -25 to 20, much higher than for the gold-bearing beresite-listvenite association, indicating that tourmalinization was not related to gold mineralization.展开更多

Eastern Transbaikalia Eastern Mongolia is a metallogenic focus area associated with Late Mesozoic intraplate tectono magmatic activation. During the period of 160\120 Ma a great number of multiplex deposits with similar genesis including large and superlarge mineral deposits were formed.展开更多
