Abstract

The paper discusses the modern popularity of Erhu, initially, in order to engage its importance that is embedded within the crevices of Shaanxi Erhu traditions. Embarking on journey of genesis and evolution of the music creation elements and characteristics in Shaanxi, the paper observes the practices of the Qin Erhu school. Notably, this tradition still inspires the modern musicians who have been successfully reviving the past. The paper also discusses the characteristics of music creation and elements of concepts in the Shaanxi Erhu music in order to understand the significance and weightage of its content, style and cause for popularity. The author reviewed resources in the knowledge network, library, and other pertinent places before summarising and condensing the most recent mainstream academic papers connected to erhu. The Central Plains Culture in Henan and the Sanqin Culture in Shaanxi serve as prime examples in this respect, since their folk operas, linguistic accents, and ideological and cultural implications all had a significant impact on the development of this kind of musical instrument locally. In the development of Erhu's work in China, several tones have been remixed and reproduced. Majorly the Erhu work is based on the adaptation of norther Shaanxi folk songs. And the dialect of Shaanxi also enhances the quality of Erhu's work. Melody of Shaanxi Erhu compositions fluctuates greatly. Shaanxi Erhu works are charged with nationalistic spirit while praising the heroes of the past, we realise how local Erhu music is deeply entrenched in the living traditions of the culture.

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.
