Abstract

After the Peloponnesian War, ancient Greek society suffered the crisis of city-states. Inter-state relations are tense, and war becomes a direct method to resolve conflicts. Within the city state, the foundation of the city state composed of citizens, soldiers and land was severely damaged, and the citizen collective was gradually disintegrated. Under this background, new social psychological demands appeared in the ancient Greek city-states. On the one hand, people continued to rely on the traditional sacrificial etiquette system, on the other hand, they began to pray more for new religious experience, thus, the sacrificial etiquette system took a turn. This transition was a long process, which had its distinctive characteristics in Hellenistic times and provided the social basis for the rise of Christianity.

Keywords : City-State Crisis; Sacrificial Etiquette System; Social Psychology.

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.
