Abstract
In the 19th century, Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society published a wealth of articles on Chinese Buddhism, serving as a recorder and witness to the study of Chinese Buddhism in the UK. Historical research on this journal has found that the journal leveraged the efforts of Westerners residing in China to conduct surveys of Buddhist works in China, obtaining important bibliographies of Chinese Buddhist works. Secondly, the journal placed great emphasis on the translation of Chinese Buddhist works, gathering and nurturing a group of British scholars in the translation of Chinese Buddhist works, and the most representative among them was the missionary Samuel Beal, the journal became the first publication site for many important English translations of Chinese Buddhist works. More importantly, the journal also valued the comparative study of Chinese Buddhist works and Sanskrit Buddhist works, promoting the study of Chinese Buddhist works from a comparative perspective. It can be said that the Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society holds an important position in the history of Chinese Buddhist studies in the UK during the 19th century.

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.
