Abstract
With the progress and development of the thought of the times, a large number of excellent works have emerged in British and American film and television dramas. Based on the interaction between ethical dilemma narratives and modern philosophical concepts in British and American TV dramas, this paper analyzes the classic works and reveals how TV dramas present ethical issues with the help of philosophical discourse through audiovisual language, narrative structure and ethical representation mechanism. The study finds that film and television dramas use a variety of techniques to visualize abstract ethical issues, forming a unique field of moral dialogue, and triggering public reflection on issues such as race, gender, and science and technology through artistic narratives, as well as adjusting the direction of creation under the influence of social and ethical changes. In addition, film and television dramas can be used as a way to educate philosophy and assume the cultural functions of ethical enlightenment and value reconstruction in modern society.

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.
