Abstract

This article explores the multi-dimensional manifestation of religion in Chinese classical garden art. The article first analyzes the use of religious elements in garden layout, including the integration of religious symbols and garden design and the layout and function of religious buildings in gardens. Then it interprets the expression of religious cultural connotation in garden art, including the use of religious symbolism in garden decoration and the influence of religious philosophy on garden design. The article also discusses the unique expressions of different religions in Chinese classical gardens, specifically exploring the integration of Buddhism and Taoism into garden design and decoration and their implications for garden layout and landscape design.

Keywords : Selected:Chinese Classical Gardens, Religious Elements, Garden Layout, Religious And Cultural Connotations.

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.
