Abstract
During the Cold War, Chinese students and scholars studying in the United State became talents won over by both the United State and the People’s Republic of China in 1950s. The United State issued exit prohibition and assistant policies on the Chinese talents to retain them, and the People’s Republic of China introduced favorable measures to attract them back home. Through analyzing the policies and measures taken by the U.S and the PRC, this article investigates the experience of Chinese students and scholars in the talent competition between the U.S and the PRC, focusing primarily on the influence factors on the tough way back home for the returnees.

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.
