Abstract

The deeds of the Chinese People’s Volunteer Army during the Korean War hold a significant place in the cherished national memory of China. As oral history gradually fades away, the challenge of preserving and transmitting this memory has emerged as a new imperative in the digital age. Grounded in the perspective of media memory, this study examines the narrative patterns of media productions cross distinct eras following the Korean War. Employing in-depth interviews, grounded coding, and intergenerational comparisons, this study establishes a comprehensive model of “generative mechanism - intergenerational performance”, which elucidates the collective memory of the Korean War, delving into the intricate relationships between 3 generations. This study also explores the mediation role of media in shaping and transmitting these memories. It is found that there are three types of mutually inclusive media narratives having advantages in the transmission of collective memory, and the intergenerational performances of the Korean War exhibits both similarities and differences under the mediation effect of media.

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.
