Abstract
Food traceability is an important part of food safety management, which involves food production, processing, storage, transportation, sales and other links. Food traceability can trace the source of food and understand its flow in the supply chain, so as to find and deal with food safety problems in time. As an emerging business model, e-commerce platform has the characteristics of data centralization, transaction transparency, and fast information transmission, which provides new possibilities for food traceability. This paper mainly expounds the challenges of food traceability in the traditional business environment, analyzes the role of e-commerce platform in food traceability, and further puts forward suggestions to help e-commerce platform to strengthen food traceability.

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.
