Abstract

This article discusses the religious culture of different ethnic groups in China and its inheritance and development in folk art. It first summarizes the characteristics of the religious culture of major ethnic groups in China and their manifestation in folk art. It then analyzes the ways and means of inheritance of religious culture in folk art, including family inheritance, folk festivals, religious activities, and the influence of intangible cultural heritage protection policies, and studies the changes and adaptations in inheritance practices through specific case studies. The article also delves into the current state and challenges of the development of religious culture in folk art, proposing a development model that combines innovation with tradition, as well as opportunities for cross-cultural exchange and cooperation. Lastly, it theoretically explores the mutual influence and possible symbiotic development of religious culture and folk art, summarizes the main points of the article, and looks forward to future research directions.

Keywords : Chinese Ethnic Groups; Religious Culture; Folk Art; Inheritance and Development; Symbiotic Mechanism.

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.
