Abstract
Wang Lisan's piano piece "Lan Huahua" is based on the folk song of northern Shaanxi, an independent and complete piano work with a distinctive Chinese style. This work conveys the theme idea of "Lan Huahua" through the piano, which not only applies the form of folk songs to tell the content of the story and the melodic direction, but also boldly draws on the tonal and harmonic relationship of foreign piano music, breaking through the situation of a single mood of the piano work, making the mood of the piano work richer and more artistic. Piano music works adapted from folk song are the artistic crystallization of Chinese composers in exploring the development of the fusion of Chinese and Western music, which can better highlight the color of traditional Chinese national culture and provide more elements for the development of Chinese piano music.

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.
