Abstract
The teacher’s instructional style may have great implications on their ways of presenting information, communicating with students, and supervising their subordinates. Very few research has been carried out to analyze the effects of teachers’ instructional style preferences on students’ self-efficacy in liberal arts education, especially in business English education in China. This paper conducts a survey in three different universities of China by designing questionnaires on the status quo of business English teaching and learning. An interview between teachers and students on instructional styles’ effects is also conducted to deepen the study. Based on the SPSS data analysis, it finds out that the most preferred instructional style by business English students are facilitator and delegator styles, which also have positive effects on enhancing students’ learning self-efficacy and performance. A teaching enhancement program and model is then recommended and suggested to help improve business English teaching in higher education.

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.
