Abstract

In the context of globalization, the international dissemination of the Kunqu classic, "The Peony Pavilion," holds immense significance. Utilizing the ecological translation's three-dimensional transformation theory as an analytical framework, this research delves into the English translation tactics employed for culturally specific terms within "The Peony Pavilion," along with their cross-cultural communication impacts, through a combination of textual analysis and comparative studies. The investigation reveals that the translation approach for these culturally loaded expressions is marked by adaptive selections across three facets: linguistic, cultural, and communicative dimensions. Consequently, translators must strike a delicate equilibrium between preserving cultural authenticity and ensuring audience receptivity during the translation process. This study not only expands the boundaries of the application of ecological translation in the field of opera but also provides strategic references for the English translation of classic operas and helps Chinese culture “go out.”.

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.
