Abstract
Lu Opera is a traditional local theatrical genre from Anhui Province, primarily popular in the "Central Anhui Corridor" of the Yangtze-Huaihe River Basin. It is divided into the Western, Central, and Eastern routes. This thesis analyzes the musical characteristics of Eastern Anhui Lu Opera from five perspectives: melodic composition, the use of modes, thematic choices, vocal styles, and orchestral accompaniment. It explores the affinity between the singing style of Eastern Lu Opera and folk music, while also considering the impact of geographic and cultural factors on musical development. The paper reveals the "melodious and graceful" characteristics of Eastern Anhui Lu Opera, which reflect a distinct "Jiangnan" influence.

Abstract
Atherosclerotic disease significantly impacts patients with type 2 diabetes, who often present with recalcitrant peripheral ulcers. The angiosome model of the foot presents an opportunity to perform direct angiosome-targeted endovascular interventions to maximise both wound healing and limb salvage. A systematic review was performed, with 17 studies included in the final review. Below-the-knee endovascular interventions present significant technical challenges, with technical success depending on the length of lesion being treated and the number of angiosomes that require treatment. Wound healing was significantly improved with direct angiosome-targeted angioplasty, as was limb salvage, with a significant increase in survival without major amputation. Indirect angioplasty, where the intervention is applied to collateral vessels to the angiosomes, yielded similar results to direct angiosome-targeted angioplasty. Applying the angiosome model of the foot in direct angiosome-targeted angioplasty improves outcomes for patients with recalcitrant diabetic foot ulcers in terms of primary wound healing, mean time for complete wound healing and major amputation-free survival.
