Abstract
During over 50 years of literary career, Japanese writer Yamasaki Toyoko has drawn works and devoted herself to literary creation. Her work encompassed a wide array of themes, a large span of time and space, and a large number of characters. Yamasaki's writing approach is not the same as the traditional Japanese watakushi shōsetsu writing paradigm, where she explores human nature, ethics, culture, etc. with realism. Narrative techniques are utilized by her to convey the thinking and exploration of diverse ethical relations and social problems. The novel by Yamasaki exposes the distortion of Japanese family systems in terms of family ethics and morality. While pondering traditional family ethics, she also expressed her desire for a harmonious and healthy family ethical environment. The paper focuses on the writing of family ethics in Yamasaki 's literature with ethical literary criticism and narratology, hoping to rediscover the literary value of her novels from the standpoint of ethics and morality.

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.
