Abstract

Lingjiatan jade culture originated from Lingjiatan, a central settlement site of the Neolithic Age dating from 5300 to 5800 years ago. This culture is famous for its rich, unearthed jade objects, which are abundant in quantity and variety and exquisite in carving skills, reflecting the highly developed craftsmanship level of the people at that time. Lingjiatan jade is divided into tools, Peopleapons, decorative categories, animals or figures, and others. Despite lacking practical functions, tools and Peopleapons such as axes, swords, and gold were used as ceremonial utensils. Decorative categories of jade include bracelets, embellishes, rings, blocks, bi, double bi, pipes, beads, and other forms, as well as with unique shapes of pagoda decoration, buckle decoration, trumpet decoration, etc.; they are worn on the body, play a decorative role. In addition, there are a few animal or human figures like jade, such as pig, turtle, dragon, phoenix bird, eagle, rabbit, and standing and sitting figures. In general, Lingjiatan jade culture is an essential representative of China's Neolithic jade culture, which not only shows the superb craft technology and rich imagination of the people at that time but also reveals the culture, religion, and aesthetic concepts of the ancient society for us. By studying Lingjiatan jade culture, People can have a deeper understanding of the social life and civilization development in the Neolithic Age.

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.
