Abstract

In the digital age, the Hexi Corridor, a significant hub for historical and cultural heritage in Northwest China, is confronted with both novel prospects and formidable obstacles in safeguarding and perpetuating its cultural legacy. This study meticulously examines the present utilization of digital techniques for the preservation and continuation of the Hexi Corridor's cultural heritage, dissects the existing issues and their underlying causes, and puts forward pertinent remedies. The findings of the research indicate that while digital technology offers novel approaches and methodologies for the safeguarding and perpetuation of cultural heritage, the exorbitant costs associated with these technologies, the scarcity of specialized personnel, and the deficiency of legal and regulatory frameworks continue to impede the comprehensive advancement of such endeavors. By strengthening technological research and development and innovation, cultivating and introducing professional talents, improving the legal and regulatory support system, and expanding the channels for the dissemination and utilization of cultural heritage, we are capable of effectively addressing these challenges and facilitating the sustainable development of the cultural heritage in the Hexi Corridor.

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.
