Abstract

Liang Qichao is a prominent philosopher of modernity in China who encountered historical changes and events that shaped his perspectives about nationalism and cultural identity. Our main objective is to study the evolution of Liang Qichao’s axiology and its influence on the development of modern China. A mixed methods approach was used involving textual, comparative text, and historical analyses of key terms and themes in Liang Qichao’s writings. The findings showed dynamic axiology with shifts from emphasis in national strengthening and preservation of Chinese culture to focusing on participation of citizens in national development and constitutionalism, globalism, social reforms and individual rights. Liang Qichao’s axiological framework was embraced by adaptability, balancing act between collective values and individual values, intellectual freedom and modernization of China.

Keywords : Liang Qichao, Axiology, China, Modernity, National Identity, Social Change and Individual Rights.

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.
