Abstract

Zhuangzi has said that "nature has great beauty without saying", which explains the aesthetic true meaning of all things in nature. Natural aesthetic education has a long tradition in China. Taoism also advocates that people should be close to nature and be the "pure children" and "babies" of nature. There is no essential difference between man and all things. Beauty is a kind of "grace" from nature to human beings, and natural aesthetic education should not be absent. Nature education in the aesthetic sense is different from that in the scientific (cognitive) sense, which is characterized by understanding rather than observation; not the determination of the facts of nature; not the division of man and nature, but on the contrary, the construction of the affinity between man and nature; not the training of skill, but the expansion of the mind. It is not only a supplement to art education, but also the premise of art education. To perceive all things in the world with my life and communicate with the world, natural aesthetic education not only points to peoples spiritual liberation and personality perfection, but also pays attention to the relationship between people and the natural environment, social environment and humanistic environment and the ultimate concern for the value of life.

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.
