Abstract

The Spring and Autumn chimes are an important component of Chinese national musical instruments, and they play an important role in the development of national musical instruments. However, modern research on the Spring and Autumn Chimes mainly focuses on the theoretical aspect, and lacks practical case analysis. Therefore, this paper takes the No. 1, No. 2 and No. 7 chimes of Xichuan Xia Temple as an example for analysis and uses the Mammoth Lark mini microphone, Capella and RAW software to compare and analyze the rhythm, notes, and rhythm, and study the indicators of timbre, loudness, frequency and rhythm. The results show that the No. 1 and No. 2 chimes unearthed in Xichuan Xiasi, Henan Province have different shapes, and the copper, tin, and lead are different, which are 90:7:2:186:9:4:1, which directly affects the timbre, frequency and loudness of the chimes. Among them, No. 1 has a higher loudness and faster tempo, while No. 2 has a lower loudness and a slower tempo, so the Spring and Autumn Chimes have high archaeological value and can support the study of modern 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.
