Abstract

This paper focuses on cultural landscape heritage, elaborating on its significance for the inheritance of human civilization and sustainable development. It combs through the research status at home and abroad, pointing out the current research deficiencies. It deeply analyzes the problems faced by the protection of cultural landscape heritage, such as the threats of natural factors, the damage of human factors, and the inadequacy of the protection management system. Through the analysis of successful domestic and foreign cases such as the Royal Gardens and Landscape Architecture in the UK, Cinque Terre in Italy, the West Lake Cultural Landscape in Hangzhou, and the Hani Rice Terraces in Honghe, Yunnan, this paper proposes protection and sustainable development strategies such as improving protection laws and regulations and management systems, strengthening the application of science and technology, promoting community participation and education, and promoting the integrated development of culture and tourism. It emphasizes the importance of protecting cultural landscape heritage and looks forward to future research directions.

Keywords : Cultural Landscape Heritage; Protection; Sustainable Development; Case Analysis.

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.
