Abstract

The development of poetics in East Asian countries has never been independent of each other but has been complementary and mutually advanced through long-term interactions and exchanges. The reason for this is that East Asia has long been based on Chinese culture, and in this Chinese cultural circle, a regional order has been formed with Chinese culture as the center and Confucianism as the common philosophy. It can be said that Confucianism is not only the mainstream cultural thought that has influenced China for more than 2,000 years; after it was introduced to such extraterritorial countries as Korea, Japan, and Vietnam, the East Asian countries, with their common Confucian classics, have made people have similar sensibilities in their understanding of human nature and values. Therefore, the Korean poetic discourse, which developed under the influence of Chinese poetic discourse, naturally retained a great deal of Confucian culture. With the keynote of respecting Confucianism and exalting Confucius, the social value, purpose and value orientation of poetry are clearly and richly imprinted with Confucian poetics.

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.
