Abstract

In the modern context, this paper expresses the Taoist ecological ethics and the natural expression of arts and crafts, and summarizes the existence of a strong role relationship between the two. In order to verify its research viewpoints, the corresponding research program is formulated, which first sets the explanatory variables and the interpreted variables, and then determines the quantitative data sources of each variable and the data analysis methods. After completing a series of research preparations, it was analyzed empirically. It is found that the mean value of the questionnaire data for each variable is greater than 3, that is, the data are in the upper middle level. The variables passed the normal distribution test and correlation verification, confirming that the variables set met the requirements of the study. When the quantitative value of the concept of nature in Taoist eco-ethics changes, the quantitative value of arts and crafts also changes, revealing the influence of Taoist eco-ethics on arts and crafts in the modern context.

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.
