Abstract
Purpose: The study aims to examine the influence of both advantageous and inadequate entrepreneurial policies on the motivation of female entrepreneurs across three regions in China. It will provide insights into how specific policies like tax relief impact entrepreneurial motivation. The research seeks to inform more effective policy recommendations to support female entrepreneurs better. Design/ Methodology/Approach: 180 female entrepreneurs from the Eastern Coastal, Central, and Western Regions of China were interviewed. The research explores female entrepreneurs’ perceptions of existing policies and identifies the benefits and challenges these policies pose to their motivation and success. Conclusion: This study sheds light on the specific policy needs of female entrepreneurs and highlights the critical areas for improvement in policy formulation, service support, and execution. By understanding these motivations and policy impacts, the findings can guide the development of more effective, targeted policies to support female entrepreneurship in China.

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.
